Catching You Up...

Well this week has been a busy week. In fact, so busy that we haven't had much time to post daily blogs. SO I'm going to catch you up on what's been going on:

Monday

• We tested our skills and our knowledge of the ARCGIS mapping program.
• We selected EVERY house in the university district and assigned it to a neighborhood.
• We worked together to group all of the parcels (houses, buildings, land-uses) by the year they were built.

This was a very productive day, and we realized that we know more about ARCGIS than we thought we knew.

Tuesday

• At the beginning of the day we worked with Mr. Santo on planning our project and our community meeting. We each had an individual assignment. We researched the history, made up a park survey to help us with the comparison C.W. Davis Park & other parks around the city, and called Davis Community Center to set a date and time for the meeting.
  
• After lunch, we worked with Mr. Andrew on planning the community meeting, a few of us created flyers and we discussed ways to get the community excited about it.
  

Wednesday

• We started off the day planning the meeting, and tweaking our park survey.
• After that, we walked down to Davis Park and we graded it using the survey. The park could acquire points for having working fountains, mowed grass, trash cans, etc. It could lose points for the lack of those and other things as well.
  
• After lunch, we discussed what we found to be (or not to be) in Davis Park. We also thought of more things to add or specify in the survey.
