Today in class we got back my terrible pop quiz. I guess next time I should study the map a little bit better. Even though that hurt my grade we started a group project. the project is about writing a somewhat formal essay about the points of Greece. some points are Lifestyle, Government, geography, and rulers. We stared this in class and I got about 5 sentences down about the lifestyle and more to go in then next class.

Today in class we finished up those group projects. I think everybody did a great job. But you can tell who put in the more work. I know I laughed today because the classes mood was just great. I think the projects gave me a better under standing of what we are learning. Hearing each project really made the information sink in from hearing it over and over. So all fun things come to an end with a test 😭. The test in my opinion won't be that hard. Honestly the teacher does a good enough job that you just have to pay attention and you will be fine.

The poor guy Dylan watched his grave being dug while Mr. Schick was filling out the behavior log, And once he pushed send, he just fell in that hole. And that kids, is why you should not play on your computer. Oh and Thank you Mr. Schick for sending us an email for the vocal words...

After coming across Kiva it made me wonder how many people are in need of money to thrive. Kiva is a organization to help people reach a goal that they do not have enough money for. People give a small loan of $25 to help people reach their goal. Kiva is an international nonprofit organization founded in 2005. Their goal is to give money to people in need and to give back the money of the donors. This organization is has a very high reputation, judged by trusted websites. Two groups have that need money that caught my eye was a man named Francisco. This man is located in Mozambique, He wants to buy a water tank to have fresh water at his house for His family. Another person who caught my eye was a lady in Kenya who needs a loan of 300$ to start a poultry farming business. From the people I read about, their are all located in places where they do not have the support to thrive. And of of these places are lacking a element to survive. All of these people have great reasons to need loans...
