WEEK SIXTEEN- Daily Log: Tuesday, June 12, 2007

• Mme. Mercer was back today, so I was ready to get back into work! I'm really trying hard because I want to make a great last impression on Mme. Mercer. She has been so good to me and I will never forget all that she has taught me. She surprised me with a gift today, and it really meant a lot to me. She also wrote me a card that commended me on all that I have accomplised and improved upon. I am going to be a mess on Thursday! My first job today was to go to the french storage room and empty out some boxes that had arrived. Mme. Mercer and Mme. Colonna had ordered some supplies for next year and they wanted me to empty out all of the boxes. I had to make room for some of the supplies by moving things around. I also had to take inventory of all of the supplies that were ordered. I did this as I took the supplies out of the boxes. When I was done doing this, I took the empty boxes to the A.V. room where I folded them for the janitor.


• I then went to class to see what Mme. Mercer wanted me to do next. She wanted me to go around the primary classes to ask if they had silver or white ribbon to wrap the graduation diplomas with. I could not find enough, however, so Mme. Mercer said that she would bring some in for me tomorrow.


• I then went back to the french room to continue to work on the booklets I had been doing yesterday. It turns out that I had done a lot more than I had thought yesterday. So when I started today, I was refreshed and determined to finish. Within like seemed like no time, I was done, and I cleaned up the area I had been working on.


• Brian and I then had to work on the poem that the grade eights will be presenting at their graduation. I had to read the poem out loud so that Brian could time it so that we knew how long to make the power point for it. It took about one minute, so we made our way to the computer to find about fifteen pictures that went with the poem. The pictures went with each line, and significant themes with the poem. It took a while, but in the end it turned out to look very meaningful. I then did some little things for Mme. Mercer. Mr. Ceelen alo gave me some advice that I will take to heart; he told me to be solution-based rather than focusing on the actual conflict. This really makes sense to me, and I will most definitely put it to good use. I worked for three and a half hours today.
