BHS...day 4

Today was the last day of the Gap camp. My group met Mrs. Allen, the guidance counseler. She talked to us about what we needed to do in order to graduate. Then we went into Ms. Sainz classroom for science. We learned about the rock cycle and did a fun "experiment" about rocks. We got 2-3 crayons {with the paper off} and shaved them with a pair of scissors. The shavings went into a little tin foil cup. Then we packed the shavings together to make a "sedimentary rock." Ms. Sainz heated the "rock" so that it formed "metamorphic rock." Then we kept heating it so it made "igneous rock." We let our crayon rocks cool off then took them out of the foil cup. On the top it was just one color, but when you flipped it over it was almost tie-dyed. My "rock" was green on top and green, light green and red on the bottom. It was REALLY COOL!! After that we went to the cafeteria to meet the rest of the kids. As a whole group we played a game called "Don't be a Dot." All the kids were given a sticky note. Only 5 out of 80 sticky notes had a dot. We had to try and be the biggest group that had no *dot kids* in it. You were not allowed to show anyone your sticky note and you could ask if the person was a *dot kid* but they could lie and say no. Mckinzie wasn't listening to the rules and showed EVERYONE that she was a dot. No group wanted her in the group because they would loose if she was. She was left to be in a group by herself... But the group that won wasn't any of the groups Mckinzie wanted to be in anyway... The group that won only had 2 kids in it. After that game some parents came to school to listen to the teachers talk about Gap and AVID. We ate pizza, and chips, with soda and water to drink. Then everyone went home until the 14th {open house} or the 18th {1st day of school!!}
