BHS

At Brandon High School this week there is a camp going on called the Gap camp... I went along with my friends Mckinzie and Mikela. The camp started at 8am and ended at 12:30. It was really fun. We met some of the freshman teachers and other faculty members. There are about 80 incoming freshman total and we are spilt into 5 groups. There are volunteers who are in charge of each group. They are incoming juniors and seniors.
~We have a "homeroom" each morning for 30 minutes where we work on study skills. My groups homeroom teacher is Ms. Sainz (pronounced "signs").
~Then we went to Ms. Kolzowski {Ms. K} for math. we made an optical illusion using a ruler and a daisy using a compass.
~The volunteers took us to the cafeteria where we had a snack and met the faculty members.
~Then we went back to our groups where we made a "human knot" by putting our arms over each other and holding the hand of the person two people away from us. Then we had to "unknot" and form a circle without letting go. My group made a figure 8, but not a circle. With all 80 of us we got in a circle and held hands. The teachers told us to keep 5 balloons in the air without letting go. It was a lot of fun.
