Bathroom Signs: Reflection

Helper: Arun S.

I think this project went very well. Everything was done on time. Because we started posting some signs early, I got to see how long they would last. By the next day, all but two of the signs posted in the one bathroom we finished were gone. I found one of them in the trash. This was expected; I've noticed that signs in the bathroom don't normally last very long. Nevertheless, I'm glad the sign reminding people to wash their hands was still up.
The posters were in black and white, and perhaps they would have been more effective if they were in color. If I were to do this project again, I would probably use Ms. Flynn's color printer.
Arun was very helpful in this project. He helped me come up with ideas for the signs and posting them on the walls was a two-person job, so I wouldn't have been able to complete it without his help.

Bathroom Signs: Milestones 1 & 2

Arun agreed to help me with my project. Tomorrow we will begin making the signs.

Thursday, June 16

Today we finished posting the signs in each bathroom. Everything was completed on time. We even finished making the signs on Tuesday and started posting them.

Sweeping: Reflection

Helpers:

Arun S.

Andrew J.


This project turned out to be more time-consuming than expected because of the wider section of the walkway.

Besides taking a long time, the project went smoothly and we got it done.





The walkway looked a lot cleaner after we finished sweeping. The project was a success and there were no major problems.

Sweeping: Milestone 3

Thursday, June 16





Sweeping turned out to be more difficult than expected. There was one area of the walkway that was much wider, and took the full two lunch periods to finish. Jon was absent for both of the days so it was just Arun helping on Wednesday and Thursday and Andrew helping on Thursday during clubs.

Sweeping: Milestone 2

Tuesday, June 14

Today I worked on getting brooms for Wednesday. I asked Ms. Hiranaka about it and she gave me the custodian's email so I could ask him to bring 3 brooms to Ms. Fitz's room. I haven't heard back from him though. If he doesn't reply by tomorrow, I will go to the office again and ask.

Sweeping: Milestone 1

Arun, Jon P., and Andrew J. said they would be willing to help me with my project.
I'm on track to continue with my project. Tomorrow (Tuesday, June 14) I will find out where I can get brooms.

Jon P.'s Project Milestone Dates and Reflection

June 8: Begin making signs
June 13: Begin hanging up signs

June 14: Finish hanging up signs






I would consider this project to be a success. It was a simple project that had a big impact. I think it will make seniors feel important and get them excited about graduation.

It went very smoothly and we made good use of the class time so we were able to get them all posted on time.
