Week 13 20% Project

Hello and Goodbye everyone! This is the last blog I will be making about our 20% project. Noah and I have had a few ups and downs with our 20% Project. A few things that were good what we did threw out the year was, Noah and I actually made progress and we got pretty far into our project. Even though we did not accomplish our goal we did really good, we made worked together it was not just all one person. Another thing we did good was we actually worked on it all year it was not just we did it the night before. A couple of things that Noah and I did bad was that, we should have put a lot more effort into it, we did not know what we were really getting ourselves into. Even though our process should have been a lot faster and longer we kinda of made it work with what we had. One more thing we did wrong was just kicking Anthony out we did need him, he kept us motivated and always working on our project. Thank you for listening I hope you enjoyed our 20% Project!

Week 12 20% Project

Hello everyone! So this is my last week to do a blog before our presentation. So Noah and I have finished the basic parts we need for our presentation. Now this week we are going to add in our images and finish up our short clips. Noah is going to be editing the videos and I will be adding them into our presentation. We are working on this together, we don't want to be like those groups who are lost and never even see the presentation before. Together Noah and I will both be editing the music and putting it together on our power point. Our power point is hopefully going to come out great, we always try to do our best. We hope that everyone will enjoy our presentation. Noah and I are trying to make our project the best we can in order to get a good grade.

Week 11 20% Project

This week My partner Noah and I are beginning our power point for our rubber band ball. We want to get started early so we don't have to rush in the end and we want it to be great not just good. Noah and I are going to make a quick video as well, to show what we have done over the entire year. Our power point is going to be amazing so that no one will be falling asleep when we present. We want people to know that we actually tried this year even though we didn't accomplish our goal. During our presentation we are going to be exciting and just enjoy ourselves so that people will pay more attention to us. Noah and I will show everyone how we got to where we are now. I hope that you enjoy our story about the rubber band ball and stay to watch our presentation. See you next week!

Week 10 20% Project

Hello everyone! Noah and I put more rubber bands on our ball over the weekend. This weekend Noah was suppose to take the ball and put rubber bands on it but he was no here today so I couldn't give him the ball. I can't help him this weekend because I have work so I will just put more on next week. We are trying to put as many rubber bands as we can on the ball for these last two weeks. For our final presentation we are going to do a power point and we are going to prepare for it so we don't make a fool out of ourselves, like most people do. We have been trying to save all of our rubber band packages but we don't have the first couple because we didn't think to save them till after. Hopefully our presentation is better than everyone else because most people didn't do anything all year.

Week 9 20% Project

This week I am going to bring the ball to Noah's house on Sunday and then he is going to buy more rubber bands to put on it. Also I am going to try to buy 3 bags of rubber bands to put on the ball. Noah and I are going to try harder than we ever have, to make this ball meet our goal. We haven't given up yet! Hopefully by the time we have to do our presentation for Mr. Lee's class our ball will be doubled in size. This project turns out to be much harder than I thought, I actually like to do projects, I think there very fun. This call probably has over a thousand rubber bands on it, it may have a million. Me and Noah haven't taken many pictures of our ball but we still made a lot of progress compared to the first day that we started on it. We are going to begin our progress like that again.    

Week 8 20% Project

Its April and our ball is not where it should be, it should be much bigger. I haven't brought the ball to school in like two weeks be the day keeps getting change to do our 20% Project. I already put two bags of rubber bands on the rubber band ball. Noah and I have not accomplished what we wanted to by April, but it is our fault. We were not putting rubbers bands on the ball  for about two months which is completely our fault. We will still try though, we just need to believe in ourselves. Noah and I should have taken a picture oh the ball every week but we didn't because we never knew when our 20% Project was. We have put a lot of money and time into this ball even though it is not that big. Our ball is very heavy but not to heavy to carry.

Week 6 20% Project

This week Noah brought the ball but now I forgot the rubber bands so I will just take it home and put my two bags of rubber bands on it. I am going to have the ball for the week and I will weigh the ball and measure it. Also i will be taking a picture of it to add to our presentation at the end of this year. I talk to Noah and we are officially going to kick Anthony Sandoval out of our group because we don't want him trying to take all the credit for the hard work that we out into this ball all year. The year is getting closer each week and I am getting more afraid that we are going to let people down. Noah and I are working our hardest to try and complete our mission, we are just being as positive as possible. Next week I will give Noah the ball and he will buy some rubber bands to put on the ball.

Week 5 20% Project

This week Noah forgot the ball so I don't get to put the rubber bands that I bought on it. That's okay though because I am going to go and buy another bag of rubber bands this weekend because we are suppose to be starting to buy two bags, one to put on in class and one to put on at home. This way our ball will start to grow a lot faster. Putting on two bags should make it grow about 2 inches every other week. If Noah and I keep this up it should be pretty big by the end of the year, which is very soon. Our ball has not been growing as fast as we wanted it to so we are hoping that our new plan will work. Noah and I have got a lot of catching up to do for those couple of weeks when we did nothing. We still don't know what happen to Anthony, we wont contact me or Noah and we never see him at school. In my personal opinion I believe we should kick Anthony out of our group because he never helps and me and Noah are spending all of our money on this 20% project and Anthony thinks he can just sit back and take credit.

Week 4 20% Project

So this week I was absent so Noah and I did not get anything done pretty much. Then the following day Noah was absent so I couldn't get the ball. The ball is actually coming along very well now, even though we haven't talked to Anthony in a while. Noah and I are trying to buy two bags of rubber bands each week now so that our ball will grow faster. Our ball is starting to look pretty again because we are buying colorful rubber bands. I usually but just tan color rubber bands because there are these really think ones that keep the ball tight and don't fall off. Anthony also told Noah that he has a bag of rubber bands for us but he hasn't quite given them to use yet because he never talks to us. So our project is coming along pretty good and I hope your are still interested in it!

Week 3 20% Project

Hello everyone, today Noah has the ball but he did not bring it in. We decided that we would bring in the ball every two weeks. After we put one bag of rubber bands on the ball Noah bought another bag and put it on at home. Also Noah gave the ball a bath because it was getting dirty because we bounce it on the ball to much. This week we got colorful rubber bands for our ball so that its not that dirty and because it looks pretty. Noah and I haven't talk to Anthony all week, he hasn't responded to any of our texts or emails. Our ball is starting to grow again though which is a good thing. We are still hoping we can accomplish our project because we want to show everyone up. I hope you guys are still interested in our project because we are trying to to keep it together but its hard without Anthony helping us. We can do it though, we just have to believe, thank you for supporting us!

Week 2 20% Project

This week I went to Noah Tayara's house and we put rubber bands on the ball. Also i brought Anthony Sandoval the rubber band ball and he put some rubber bands on it at his house. That was good, we are starting to make some progress again. I think that our project is not going to be as big as we wanted it to but we are still going to try our hardest to complete this mission. Also next week Noah is going to bring two bags of rubber bands for the ball. Our rubber band ball is starting to grow again which is a good thing. This rubber band ball might become a success by the end of the year. Noah and I are both trying really hard on this project, Anthony on the other hand is not helping that much, he will just bring a bag of rubber bands ever once in a while.

Week 1 20% Project

Hello everyone, this is my first blog of the new year. Noah and I have decided that we are going to keep Anthony Sandoval in our group. He bought a bag of rubber bands so I am going to bring him the ball on Monday and he will take it home and bring it back on Wednesday. Tonight Noah and I are going to go to the store and get rubber bands together then put them on our ball because our progress has been about zero for the past three weeks. This is a new year and a new semester, which means we are going to try harder than last semester. We are still trying to win the world record book, even though our progress has slowed down doesn't mean we can't bring it back up screaming. I hope you are still interested in our project because we are trying really hard to accomplish this world record.

Week 8 20% Project

Week 8 of the rubber band ball challenge and we still haven't gotten anymore rubber bands for the ball. We didn't even bring the ball to school this week. Our ball has officially stopped growing, this is when we slow down. Were half way through the year so we are getting lazy and slowing down. Noah and I have decided to take Anthony out of our group, I talk to him on Tuesday and he was like ok with it but now he has to find a new group. I am going to buy the next bag of rubber bands because Noah couldn't get them this week. Even though we are not doing to well at the moment we are still planning to beat the world record of the biggest rubber band ball. We wont give up even though we only have 5 more months left of school, we know we can do it. I hope you don't give up on us though, keep reading more interesting facts to come!
