I have a few ideas for new books after the read project is over first The Book Thief, Legend, The Maze Runner, and Prodigy.

Also I am starting to enjoy the book The Chocolate War. I think that sometimes you have to read through books that start out slow.

I think that for the artifact due on Monday night I will use the Humming Bird Kit to create a scene from the book Butter.

This week me and Jakob finished our artifact. Looking back at our artifact things that I will remember about our project are that it was fun to build and program and that at was fun showing people our artifact.

Also I remember thinking about what to do for our project with Jakob and Mrs. Fairon telling us the we should use the Humming Bird Kit for our artifact.

And I am also about a quarter of the way through the book The Chocolate War. Some of my thoughts about this book so far are why does Jerry not what to sell his fifty boxes of chocolate. And what the schools secret society think about him not selling his share of chocolate.

This week my friend Jakob and I started to work on our artifact that needs to be finished by Tuesday. For are artifact we are making a scene from the book Fault in Our Stars. We are creating the seen from the book with one of our schools Humming Bird Kits and recycled materials and poster paper. To get the scene to light up and make sounds we programed a sequence from a computer in to the Humming Bird Kit. We are almost done creating the scene with the recycled materials. So we are hoping that the artifact is done in class by Tuesday.

I am kind of sad but relieved that I am already on my third book for this reading project.                           I did not get a lot of reading done over the week. That was because our eight grade class week on a field trip to Ashland to watch a couple of plays. The plays that we went to see where Comedy Of Errors and A Wrinkle In Time.
