Not in Class - February 27, 2009

Today I was not in class because I had a baseball game.

Wednesday - February 25, 2009

Today we made a lot of progress. We dug down to the floor in most areas of the square. During break I went and got water for us. We also took starting and closing elevations. Today was ok but we did not find anything.

Tuesday - February 24, 2009

Today it was dry enough to go outside so we went outside. My team's square was still wet in the middle so Brant and I worked on the sides of the square while everyone else worked on D1. No one found anything today.

Monday - February 23, 2009

Today was a cleaning day and my group had nothing to clean so we went outside and took off the tarps. Then we went inside and watched Bravo team put a pot together. Today was a pretty boring day.

Friday - February 21, 2009

We actually went outside today but my team was not able to work because our square was too wet. Bravo team's square was dry, so they worked, but did not find anything. My team opened a new square D1 because we are almost done with C4. We also moved the shed and everything else to the other side away from D1.

National Treasure - February 18, 2009

We stayed inside again today and watched a movie. We watched National Treasure 2 and it was pretty good. It was my seventh time to see it. I don't think it is suppose to rain the rest of the week, so maybe we can go outside Friday.

Tuesday - February 17, 2009

Today we stayed inside and talked about the different ages in history like the Stone Age, Silver Age, and Bronze Age. We talked about the three three levels of Tel Ya'ar. Tel Ya'ar levels are the Romans, the Stone Age, and the Silver Age.

Friday - February 13, 2009

Today, my team's square was wet. We covered the square with a tarp but the tarp had a hole in it. The funny part was the skeletons were in water and it looked like they were swimming. Bravo team's square was fine so they worked on their square. GJ and I filled sand bags and it was really hard because of his shoulder.

Movie Day - February 11, 2009

Today we did not go outside because Tel Ya'ar was too wet. It rain really hard last night which forced us to stay inside. We looked at pictures and watched a movie.

Tuesday - February 10, 2009

Today was a short day and we did not find anything. We dug on the opposite side of the skeletons. We were trying to make our square flat. At the in of class we covered the squares C4 and C1 with tarps because it is suppose to rain to night.

Cleaning Day - February 9, 2009

Today was a cleaning day. Our team cleaned rocks and a little piece of a pot. We did not have a lot to clean but Bravo team did. They cleaned broken pieces of pots, wood, and rocks. Then at the end of class we cleaned up. We wiped the tables and chairs.

Friday - February 6, 2009

Today we uncovered more of the skeleton. This was Alex's last day to be our square leader. I am not sure who our square leader will be after Alex. Also, the other square is switching square leaders from Ashlee to Tim.

Block Day-February 4, 2009

Today, we had a block day and we uncovered more of the skeletons. I carried buckets mainly. We are making a lot of progress of uncovering the skeletons. We also found a big block piece of concrete.

Tuesday - February 3, 2009

Today we went outside and we barely got anything done. We uncovered more of our skeletons but we were interrupted because the kindergarten class came outside. We helped them uncover an artifact and they had show-n-tell. We did not have time to take closing elevations either.

Monday - Feburary 2, 2009

Today, we stayed inside an cleaned the artifacts. My team (alpha team) had no artifacts to clean, so we helped bravo team clean their artifacts. We also had a donut that Mr. Thames brought us. The last thing we did was look at artifacts that Mr. Thames brought back from his trip this summer.
