In the Charger Trails activities I thought the Gulledge Ghouls advisory worked together as a team. The Marble challenge was the first activity we did and also the hardest. I think we had to warm up and remember how to work as a team. We were successful with the Hog call and Maze. We communicated to each other even though for both activities we could not talk. I found other ways to communicate by pointing, facial expressions, and other gestures. Every one at one point was a leader directing people where to go and what to do. At some points I thought there were to many leaders but as soon as people realized they backed down. We listened to others ideas and took advise from our teachers on how to improve the success of the activity. This was a fun experience on using team work and building bonds and friendships with our community.

Burial Practices
Estella Monica
- What did the Ancient Egyptians believe about the afterlife?
- Your KA would go into the afterlife not the entire body
- You lived your previous life while in the afterlife and once your previous life is over it continues new
- same social class as in your previous life
- What was included in the sacred process of preparing thebody?
- Removed organs and put them in canopic jars
- Hooked brain from the nostrils and pulled it out
- Left the heart in for it was the center of the KA
- They stitch the body back together once they had filled it with perfumes
- Prevented the body from decaying by using oils and salts
- Where were the bodies buried depending on the social class?
- Lowest social classes [poor] would be buried in the ground wrapped in old rags and fabric
- People who could afford a simple ceremony would bury them in plain wood boxes in a cave or desert
- People of the highest class, other than the King, would be buried in mastaba with a ceremony less grand than the king’s
- Kings would have an extremely large ceremony and be buried in large mastaba along with most of the constructors of their burial chamber
- This was so the constructors of the mastaba could not trade their information with grave diggers so they could steal the goods and treasures inside the kings or higher classes tomb

Character Favorites in Seedfolks
Leona is head strong and determined. When she wants something she will do anything to get it. I love how she has sweet funny and memories of her grandmother. In Leona’s chapter she wants that lot to be clean and fresh so people can start a community garden. She knows she has to be real. She makes phone calls waits on hold and listens to automatic messages to get her task done. She thinks on the positive side and will cheerfully walk right into any problem she faces and works right past it. She seems like the person that would be kind, determined, and focused on what she wants. She is a go-and-get-it kind of person.
Visiting Italy
I would like to visit Naples and Rome in Italy. My family has an Italian background and I would like to visit where they came from and have the same experience.
