Jasmine's Craziest 2 days of her life

         These two days have been really crazy because we had a lot of ups and downs trying to make this kite perfect. The most difficult part was trying to make the kite stay in the position its meant to be in. Let me tell you guys the whole story, so we started by getting all the materials.

         To build our kite we used colorful sharpie markers, a bedding sheet, a thin blue rope, wooden sticks, duck tape,a stapler, scissors, and paint to top it all off. It took us both of the two days to gather all the materials and yet we still aren't done. We have so much work to do in less then a week! The second step we took to build our kite was we took the bedding sheets and made the shape of our kite. We took sharpie and traced the outline of the shape we were going to use and cut it out obviously with the scissors. 

          The third step we took was adding the sticks to hold the kite while in motion. This is where the problem came in. So we used the duck tape to hold the sticks to the bedding sheet, but it came apart so quickly and we needed a solution fast! So our math teacher (the genius) helped us make the kite. She stapled the ends and put the wooden sticks through the middle and did that for all four sides and we got our kite there! If it wasn't for her we would be so behind.

          We only have one step left to do...guess what it is!!! Its the most creative and its not the easiest. Fine since you guys don't have a clue about what I'm talking about its the design of the kite. Duh. so since we are doing California we have the idea of using neon colors and we are going to faded one color in to another one. I hope we finish because if we don't we wont win any awards and that's the whole point of this project... for me I don't know about my other classmates. But forget about the negatives because my groups knows we are going to win all of these awards. Keyword knows. I got to go and work on my kite I'll blog you guys soon. Peace.
