I woke up and ate breakfast and then I got ready for school. Me, Mommy, Tia, and Mrs. Patti walked to school together. I had a good day at school and then me and Mrs. Patti walked home. Then, the main part of the day was I made my own key chain out of jade rock! Before we made jewelry, everyone who went figured out what their guardian animal was. We had to give our birth day, month, and year we were born. I figured out that my guardian animal was a turtle 🐢. Mommy’s was the national bird of Guatemala, the quetzal, Tia’s was a bee, even though she’s allergic to bees! Mrs. Patti’s was a jaguar! We learned a little history of the jade rock and it’s only found in certain places in the world and it pops up when national disasters occur. Then we walked in the room where we were going to make our own jewelry and there were so many machines and it was so loud so I had to wear headphones. I got to choose my color jade. There was the original green, black, lilac, and sky blue. I chose sky blue. I had to choose one specific rock I wanted to make and I chose the one with almost all the colors in it. The professional cut the rock into almost the shape I wanted it to be with the water table saw and then I did the rest. I held my rock and then I pushed it against the sand paper wheel that was spinning very fast while water was spraying. I pushed the rock on all sides until it looked like the shape I wanted it to be. Then the guy did the finishing touches to the first step. Then the second step was the and paper step where you had to make the rock smooth. It was like the same thing except you had to hold onto it more because it moved more. Once that was done the guy complemented me and said “Good job!” Then the final step was to polish it or make it shiny. That one was the hardest because the wheel was spinning faster and I couldn’t hold onto the rock and it kept falling to the ground. Once it was done the guy put a hole in it for my keychain and then he put a L into it for my name. Once it was done it looked so cool! After everyone finished we walked to dinner where I had a hamburger, I know you’re all shocked! They messed up my order because they put cheese on the burger and fries but then they fixed it about ten minutes later. Then everyone walked home, took a shower, and went to bed.
The End.
