BOOST T-Shirt Project:

As we prepare for our upcoming trip to Washing D.C., we have an awesome opportunity to create something really cool!  Take a look at the image above, do you see my name?  What about P.S.36 Project BOOST?  I thought to myself, "Wouldn't that look great on a T-Shirt?"  So guess what, we're going to make it happen!

Get ready to let your creative juices flow!  Here is what I need you to do:

• Open Microsoft Word and type a list of as many word as you can that reflect the theme "PEACE." Once you have checked the spelling of each word highlight the text and click copy. (Ctrl+A) select all (Ctrl +C) copy Submit your changes.
• Then, click on the link to access this webs  http://www.tagxedo.com/app.html
• Next, Click on Load then right-click in the text box and click paste or press (Ctrl+V) paste.
• Then, choose a Theme, Font, Orientation, and Layout.
• After, you may want to choose a choose a shape.  Believe it or not, you can upload a picture of yourself and create a Word Cloud in your own image. You can also write a word and have it be the image or your Word Cloud.
• Next, click Save and using the Image tab click 16mpJPEG.  Save this image on your flashdrive. 
• Congratulations, You Did It!

As we discussed earlier, I also want you to create a Peace Poem to go on the back of your T-Shirt. The poem should be meaningful and from your heart. Type you first name and last initial along with the date at the bottom of your poem.  


I think you all will have a great time working on your Word Clouds.  I'm excited to see what you come up with. 


In addition, don't forget to email me your PowerPoint presentations.  I really need to see what you are doing and how you are progressing within this application.  Don't worry if your presentations are not completed , I will review them and make corrections if necessary.  


If you have any questions, please email me as soon as possible.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Brown

Hello Project BOOST members! I hope all of you had an exciting and restful Spring Break! Now that you have been rejuvenated, it's time to get focused and back to work.  Please be reminded that your Nobel Peace Prize assignement is due April 16th.  You have had ample time to complete this assignment.

Also, those students whose parents are not going with us to Washington D.C. on May 4th, they have up until Tuesday, April 17th to pay their $100 if they have changed their mind and want to go with us. Permission slips will be given out this week and they need to be returned to my mailbox by this Thursday. Please be on time with returning the slips. See you tomorrow! Ms. Haigler

Good evening BOOST Members! I hope you had a restful weekend.  This is a reminder for you and your parents.  Wednesday, April 4th will be the final day for parents who wish to go with us to Washington D.C. to pay for the trip.  We will be going to D.C. on Friday, May 4th and the cost is $100. One adult family member per child is permitted.

Make sure you read carefully the upcoming assignments and their due dates.  Also, I have had discussions with some members regarding their behavior and how one should behave, especially as a member of BOOST.  Be mindful of following classroom and school rules regarding not only behavior but the submission of quality work to your teachers.
