Shanice’s Day

Today we did a video challenge. My challenge was to do anything you want. I did it gangster-style with Cecily. I taught about non-point source and point source pollution. It was kinda hard but I had fun doing it. First we couldn’t figure out what to do, then we just took it back to how we live.

Next we did the game challenge. Everyone was sharing their ideas. I thought that was a good game. Our game was called Pollution Relay. You have to have two teams, non-point source pollution and point source pollution and you have NPS and PS cards at the end of the relay. Whatever team you’re on you have to get the card that matches the kind of pollution you were assigned to. The first one to get all their card back or fastest wins.

Next we did the song challenge. We really weren’t working together. We could have done better on that, on teamwork. We came up with something at the last minute. But we pulled through and we finished it. The name of it was Water Solution. We recorded it with Dontae and Hanifa. At first we didn’t do so good, but then Trevon helped us. His idea was to slow the song down and it sounded better.

Overall my day was fun, exciting. Lunch was good. I love camp.
