Day 70

Good morning, Grizzlies!
Today is Tuesday, January 26, 2016.
         Once again, we are practicing our presentation.  We are mainly focusing on transitions. A transition is when you are about to change to the next slide and you are introducing the next slide and the person presenting it. We are really focusing on this because it signals the person controlling the slides and the person after you. It makes the whole presentation run faster and smoother. I think if everyone practices it, they will remember it. For example, my signal to start to present is when Connor introduces me. My transition is to introduce Lindsey. She will know when to present her slide when I say “And now Lindsey concluding our presentation.” It signals her to start presenting her slide and tells Julien when to change to the next slide. The whole “transition” system works out and ties the whole presentation together.
         Speaking upon another topic, we will be in the shop tomorrow. We have someone coming to do something along the lines without motor. We are super pumped and ready for tomorrow. When we put new things on our car, usually they are there to improve speed or distance. I think it is great along the lines that we add new things. It’s always good to try.
          Also this week, we have a half day on Friday. We had one last week, due to the snow. Due to the classes being cut to twenty minutes, we won’t have time to present or to update the blog. Therefore, the blog will not be updated Friday. We will pick up back on track Monday as planned and hopefully everything will run smoothly. Instead of presenting and blogging, we will be updating our pictures for our “Meet the Team”. For anyone who reads the blog and you are from the Green Grizzlies team, remember WEAR YOUR POLO AND KHAKIS! Please do not forget to wear your polo and khakis! It’s very important that you remember because we want to look nice for our pictures. I will post reminders for the rest of the week. I believe someone will post it on Edmodo on Thursday. I think that everyone will remember.
        I am making more blog updates as well. As you know, almost every recent slide has a quote on it. Close to holidays, I put kid-friendly jokes on the post. I only do it if the holiday is not about a person. For example, I did not put any jokes for Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Day because that would be highly offensive to not only myself, but other people. The jokes are supposed to be cheesy and intended for a younger audience because we young adults on the Green Grizzlies team.
          Back on to the subject, Valentine’s Day is the next holiday and I might start on this post with a valentines joke. It depends on if I have enough jokes to last until the 12th because the 14th is on Sunday. Someone pitched an idea about how I should write during the race. It would be great. I could write it on a word document and update it when I got an internet signal. I think it is a great idea! You could have an update of the race and have it to read over and over again. It will be great and I will look forward to doing it! I cannot wait to write another blog.
