Today, we ordered pizza and then we started to watch the rest of the PowerPoints when we got interupted by the man that is taking Mrs. Parker's job. We went outside and showed him the digsite. Because of this, we never got to see my PowerPoint in class so, I am unable to make corrections.

PowerPoint Presentation

Today, we first cleaned out our square buckets and organized them. Then Mr. Thames showed our PowerPoint to the class. He showed everyones except Joanna and I. He is going to show ours on Friday.

Cleaning Day

Today, we went outside and cleaned up Tel Ya'ar because today is open house. I picked up the weeds around Tel Ya'ar. The other jobs were to finish square D1, to straighten the baulk in C4, to make stairs, and to clean out the shed. Today, we are going to close Tel Ya'ar for the season.

Lab Day

Today, we cleaned a lot of artifacts. On Friday, I was not there so today I found out that we finished our square. We also turned in our PowerPoint projects.

Block Day

Today, we went outside and it was really hot. We moved a lot of dirt. We are almost done with our square. We also had fruit break and Mr. Thames brought us pop sickles. I will not be in class on Friday because I will be in Waco for State.

Tuesday - May 12, 2009

Today, I became the square supervisor and Nick became the square supervisor for Bravo team. We hit the floor in our square and he also found the hand of a juvenile skeleton. It is in the baulk so we are just leaving it there. Bravo team found a pot that had a scroll in it.

PowerPoint Day

Today was our last day in class to work on our PowerPoint. I am almost done with them. I just have to find an example of the blue fabric. The PowerPoint are due next Monday so I have a week to find it.

Friday - May 8, 2009

Today, we only had three people in class because the rest were taking AP test. Brant, Analisa, and I were the three people and we worked on square D1. We did not find anything but we moved a lot of dirt. Square D1 only has about 18 cm to go before we hit the floor. Mr. Thames also bought us orange slushies.

Block Day

Today, we did so more recovery work. I worked with Bravo team today because Nick was sick. I carried a bunch of buckets and it was really hot. At break, we had pop sickles so thank you Mr. Thames. We also got interrupted by the seniors because they were having a water gun fight.

Tuesday - May 5, 2009

Today, we went outside and did recovery work. Our team worked on fixing our baulk and the other team worked on fixing the C4 baulk. Tel Ya'ar has a lot of damage to it so we still have a lot of work fixing it up.

Today, we went outside to the dig site and did some survey work. We just walked around looking for any artifacts that we saw that had be exposed by the rain. Then after that we went inside and work on our PowerPoint.
