I can't believe another school year has gone and tomorrow is our Graduation Day! I'm just worried that I will forget my speech when I face the audience. Also, I'm nervous that some parents might not understand our presentation because it's in English, so I think we have to make a back-up plan to deal with it. I wish everything goes well tomorrow and not go into complete chaos. OMG!!! Only 20 hours left till Graduation ceremony starts!

Only 5 more days till school ends!

Only 5 more days till school ends! Yipee! Finally, the days have come! Good bye school, hello summer! Well, I guess there is going to be a lot happening between tomorrow and next Wednesday so it's not hello summer after all!

Today we did a rehearsal for our Exhibition ceremony and it turned out fantastic except that nobody was being quiet. They were all doing clapping games and talking to each other. I wish in our real performance, none of students talked or played clapping games.

Reflection

Today we presented our Exhibition to grades 3-4 and NLSC's grade 6. The good things about our presentation are:

• We finished in time (Exactly 24minutes and 47 seconds!)
• Everybody like our videos and art piece

Things we need to improve on:

• Need more chairs and tables
• Make sure all videos are working properly (One video couldn't play while plugged into the screen)
• Speak more loudly(Project voices)
• Move chairs and tables closer to screen at transition time

The problem is, we have SO many things we need to improve on! Well, I guess we have a few more days until the real presentation and graduation so we could improve our presentation setting before that day. On Friday, I wish our presentation runs smoothly and not go into chaos or it will be a disaster!

I can't wait for...

I just can't wait for summer holidays! I think it's going to take a year before the summer holidays come. During summer holidays, my sister and I are going U.S.A to participate J.Hokins camp. I will  learn all about Forensic science there, and I hope to learn  about finding evidence like DNA particles, using powder to find thumbprints, and much more. Squeeeeeeee! Just thinking about the holidays makes me energized and happy again. Now, I should be back to my real life, four days before Exhibition!!! Hang in there, Minnie.

Exhibition Practice Reflection

http://cliparts.co/cliparts/kcM/b7b/kcMb7brXi.jpg

Today, we did a whole run through of our Exhibition Presentation. One thing that went well was that they enjoyed our slide and activities and one thing that didn't go well was that our slide show went over 25 minutes. We took too long for our See and Think activity. I need to change some slides and shorten up the info. I wish after this week, the slides will be more organized and less than 25 minutes. I hope you enjoyed my blog!

Yay!

Yay! We have finally finished our art display! I am so happy! Execpt for the part I keep sleeping late at night, while editing presentation slides, writing graduation speech, and memorizing presentation. Anyway, today we put some hinges onto the companies display and the floor panels. Tomorrow, we are going to have little practice to be ready on our first presentation to BHA and NLCS at next Tuesday. I can't wait but feel little tired. But we are almost there.

Finally!

Finally, we've almost come to an end of PYP Exhibition. Our art display is finished and lesson plan, personal essay and presentation slide are nearly finished. I am so relieved that we are 97% done! We just need to add little details to our work to make it perfect (well, not exactly). I hope in the end, I feel proud and happy of what I have done. Even though Exhibition is important for me, the Graduation Ceromony also comes in mind... I hope the graduation will be fabulous too!

Today is Art day !

Today was also art day. Hyeon-ah and I have done more than 60% of our 3D/2D design for Art. We spent so much time on printing texts, drilling, cutting and glueing display materials. We worked on our Exhibition display boards for an hour in the morning and 3 hours after school. I think in 4 hours, we have accomplished a lot compared to yesterday. Our team's goal is to finish our display boards tomorrow when we have extra time to work on it. My goal is to finalize the art design and to finish editing the slides for the Exhibition presentation.

All day art day!

Today we concentrated on our art design. Even after school, we worked on it a lot. We sketched the layout of our 3d and 2d design and started printing. It took a long time to print everything that we needed. It took a few attempts until we could print in A3. In the end, I hope our design looks very clean and neat and stands out.

Last selling day- a success!

Today was the last selling day. In the morning, we hoped we could sell all of our products because yesterday we sent a reminder to all grades and most people would have recognised yesterday that they forgot to bring money! Well, it turned out to be a huge success. 

We will donate all 378,600 won to World Vision soon. When Hyeon-ah sent me an email about how much money we made, I couldn't believe my eyes! We had earned almost 4 times more than our goal! I am very proud of our helpers and Hyeon-ah, and thank all junior schoolers who participated in our action.

Selling day!

http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/money-bag.jpg

Today was the first selling day. Hyeon-ah and I were very busy because we had to go back and forth around the school. At morning recess, we lent out half of our bookmarks and cards but after 10 minutes, they were all sold out. Also, almost all the posters, stickers and brochures were given out so we only have a few left. We hope to receive more donation tomorrow because today most of Junior schoolers didn't bring money.  If we sell more tomorrow, we are sure to achieve our goal or even far exceed our goal! Our original goal was to donate more than 100,000 KRW and we already have 93,100KRW in our donation box.  I just wonder how much we could earn tomorrow. However, the more important thing than the amount of money we earn is that we have an opportunity to let students know about meaning of Child Labor and our message "STOP CHILD LABOR".

One day before selling dates!

I can't believe tomorrow we are selling our products! We are hoping to sell most of the products we prepared, the lemonade, cards and bookmarks. We are especially looking forward to earning over 100,000won so we can save few children for a month. I guess we are all ready. We have have lots of voluteers and lots to sell. I can't wait!

Assembly Day!

http://images.clipartpanda.com/recess-clipart-clipart-school-1.png

Today was Action Assembly day. We did 2 whole run-through practices before the real assembly. We were 2nd to present our action plan to the Junior school. I was so nervous when I grabbed my mike from Blank Out that I almost threw the mike on the ground. But eventually I earned my confidence and spoke loudly in front of everybody. I think our team made our presentation entertaining and I hope lots of people have interests on our topic and willingly donate money to help suffering children.

The day before Assembly

Today was the day before the assembly. I guess we are pretty much happy with our speech for the assembly. I think our presentation will be interactive and be interesting because we are selling products. I hope this assembly will be entertaining and interactive for the other grades.

How can I make my Action Assembly and Exhibition Day more interactive?

http://www.socialmediamarketz.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/6

Ok. How can I make my Action Assembly and Exhibition Day more interactive? Well, for the Action Assembly, Hyeon-ah and I am going to play a game called 'True or False'. I call out loud some companies that use child labor and use no child labor. The audience will have a chance to answer by putting up their hands. Also, on Exhibition day, at the first and last bit, we will do a Kahoot quiz so people wonder more about our issue, and reflect on what they learn.

Funniest assembly ever!

http://www.midlifethecrisismusical.com/images/GS-logo-960x420.png

One of the most entertaining and interactive was the Game Show assembly last year. The concept of this assembly was a competition between teachers and students. Some girls chose students, including me, and made us play with our grade teachers. The best part was Lina and I were playing against Mrs.Park and Miss. Prosser. One person had to be blind-folded and hold a baket full of pellets and a spoon, which was Lina, and the other person had to hold a basket right on top of the blind-folded person's head (which was me). The blind-folded had to throw in as many pellets as they can in the basket above them. It was quite a mess in the end. The teachers won beacuse they poured more pellets than us and were much more tidy. Pellets were scattered all on the floor. It was really fun because I could see up close, since I was a basket holder. Pellets were flying everywere! Anyway, hope you enjoyed another day of my blog!

Compass points- Things to do

This is our 'Things to do' list for PYP Exhibition. Using the compass points thinking routine, I will explain which stuff I'm most excited and worried about, ones I need to know more about and which ones are making a good progress.
The only thing I want to know more of is how to present our Exhibition learning. Also for the things I am excited about are Art design and Action. Next is Stance. I feel like we are doing a good job; we keep  concentrating on our tasks and try not to fall behind in Art or classes. Our only worry is a preperation for Shadow show. For the show, we need some lights, a dark room to film and a big white screen. We emailed Mr.Zarate whether he has those resources  but he didn't answer so I feel a little concerned. Also, I wonder if I can make the 2D/3D Art design in time. All of the rest look pretty okay so far.

I hope all my worries disappear before presenting Exhibition!

Exhibition- not long to go!

OMG! I am SO excited! Why? Only few more weeks until Graduation and Exhibitioin presentation day! My team have done almost 70% of our work and already have TONS of ideas to present our issue, Child Labor. Hyeon-ah and I are very happy with our progress and never falling behind in Exhibition. We hope, by next next week, all research is finished and start writing our essays. Please wish us good luck!

Discussion about Student Led Conference

https://welcometokcae.edublogs.org/files/2015/07/SLC-pic-1ipjo9p.jpg

Today G5 discussed about Student Led Conference scheduled on tomorrow morning. Student Led Conference is a meeting that students themselves lead the conference. Tomorrow Student Led Conference is going to be a great opportunity to explain what we have done so far for Exhibition. After I finish my conference and listen to Helen's conference, Hyeon-ah and I are planning to go to local stores to find materials used to make products and make the selling items at my house. I can't wait!😃
