The First Day of Work

Yes, yes this post is extremely late, I just got my invite to the blog to work so here it is. From the first day of work.

______________________________________________________________

Today was the first day that we were able to get outside and start gathering materials and clearing the area for the construction. Before leaving the classroom, Ms. K divided the class into five separate groups. Each group had their own project to work on for the start of the art piece. There was a group in charge of weeding the area, a group in charge of collecting tree branches, a group to collect medium size stones, a group to layout the area for digging, and a research and development team to figure out the best way to use the materials collected.

When we got outside, Ms. K showed us all of the equipment that we could use for the project. There were shovels, clippers, buckets, a wheelbarrow, and more. We talked about what each group needed to do and what the plan was for today. After our discussion, each group went off and did their own thing. I was in the group in charge of collecting rocks along with Phil, Barrett, and Brian. We used the wheelbarrow to bring rocks from the Hope Trail back up to meeting area. From there, we could see what every other group was up to. People cutting weeds, digging and edging for the spirals, collecting sticks, every group had a job to do and everyone was working hard.

After another 20 minutes of work it was about time to get everything put away. We all finished up what we were doing and assembled at the meeting area. Everybody discussed what they did today and Ms. K talked about what needed to be done for next class. Everybody helped clean up all of the materials and organize it neatly to be put away. There is still a lot of work to be done, but everybody is eager to see the finished product.
