I think it is actually supposed to be Hell's Angels so they turned it to angles and wrote types of them on their leather jackets with angled triangles. I don't know if that made sense. My soapstone project actually has cool dots on the side of it and I think the spots make my soapstone project unique. I like geometry because i like using a compass to draw art because last year in Mr.Weltzin's class we created 3-D art using geometric shapes and a compass as well. Bye!

I think the smoothness is very interesting because its rock its not suppose to be smooth. The jock is funny because the name of the biker gang is hells angels not angels

I am really excited for my soapstone next week, because I am going to doo waxing!! I did through the sand paper number 3 so I can start from sand paper number 4 next week! I agree with itzme.eg, because of the picture. It is actually hell's angel, but they switched the 'L' place from angel and made all of those name into 3 different angle's name. I like geometry if we draw triangles following the criteria. I like it because I like drawing triangle matching with compass!

Something interesting about my soapstone is that at the beak, somehow, there was an indented line that looked like the outline of a beak. I thought this was cool because it came naturally as though this stone was just made for a swan. I'm not sure about this joke, but I think they made it into angles instead of Angels (I'm not sure about any of this), and it looks kind of funny. I really like Geometry (although it's not my best subject) because it's really interesting to think that even regular shapes like circles and triangles can be math. Also, I think it's really fun to use a protractor and to draw 3D shapes. This way, I can do art (which I love) and math (which I also love) at the same time. Okay, bye!

My soapstone is looking (and felling) amazing. I love the way it turned out! I can't wait to paint it with wax next week! I have to say all the finished projects look amazing! I do wonder what all the kids who have finished are going to do during our soapstone time though. The joke is funny because each name of an angle matches the angles on the triangle. For example the acute guy has acute corners in the triangle and that's why it's funny. I do like geometry, but I kind

My soapstone is coming along well. Still have to do a lot more rounding though! The joke is funny because it was originally supposed to be "Hells angels" But it was changed to be "Hells angles" I think geometry is okay, although it's not my favourite subject for math because sometimes it can be hard to figure out answers.

My soapstone carving is almost done! I'm hoping to finish it soon. The picture is funny because it's a play on words. It says 'hell's angles' instead of 'hell's angels'. I like geometry, it's one of my favourite kinds of math.

the thing that is the best of my stone is the legs or the head. the joke is funny because the names on the back say right acute and obtuse. I like geometry because I like angles.

The best part of my soapstone is that I am all done and it looks fantastic.The joke is funny because hell doesn't have angels it should have demons. I do not like geometry because it is confusing.

Hi! My soapstone is almost done just have t buff it then I'm done! A-wahoooooo! The joke is funny because there is a real life biker gang called Hell's Angels and in this case its Hell's Angles! Thats so funny! I kind of like geometry because, well, math is not my favourite subject so geometry is probably my 2nd favourite. Well, see you all tomorrow! Bye for now!

I am so happy with my soapstone because I got a lot done today. I'm at the stage where it had all the wax and all I need to do is buff it and then my seal is all done. I think the name is suppose to be Hell's Angels but its Angles because the shapes on their jacket is the name of each person which makes it funny plus were doing the unit on geometry. See you all tomorrow ≧◡≦

1.) something interesting about my soapstone is its head, it has a ears and a forehead (of course) but they look pretty cool. 2.)I think the joke is funny because all the guys have angles on there back and they look all tough and stuff like that so they are hell's angles! 3.) I kinda like geometry. It has its pro's and con's. A pro is that you can sometimes physically do it, like you don't have to do multiplication,

The joke is funny because they changed it from angels to angles. Something interesting about my stone is the way the tail forms. Its kind of on a slant and it looks really awesome. To be honest its not my favorite, I just do not understand some of it. It confuses my brain.

Hi, it was so interesting that when you polish your stone all the scratches go. That's so cool! I think the joke is funny because it's suppose to be Hell's angles but instead it is Hell's angles. Yes, I do like Geometry because I like learning about shapes and angles but sometimes I get confused on the formulas. Well, bye and see you guys tomorrow! :)

I have finished polishing my soapstone and am ready to put it in the oven and put wax on it. The joke is funny beacause each man that is in it is similar to the angle that is on their back. I like simple geometry because it is easy and fun. See you all today.

I love working on my stone and deciding the changes I wont. It makes the stone more personal. The joke is funny because theirs a motorcycle club that's called hell's angel and they changed it to hell's angles because we are doing geometry. Yes I have liked geometry so far.

Even though I was behind on some sessions I still think I caught up and hopefully next session I'll be working on the metal hair ( or what ever they are called) and sand paper. The joke is funny because instead of the Hell's Angels it is Hell's Angles and there is a triangle that matches their named on the back of their leather jackets. I know the Hell's Angels because one of them used to live in the complex. Geometry so far has been very straight forward and soon it will get a little weird because there might be some weird shapes. See you all later! :D

Something I think is interesting about my soapstone is that I think it's the only sea turtle and other people did land turtles. I am not sure why the joke is funny but I think maybe it's because it's hells angels but it's also angles and they have angles on there jackets.. I'm not sure.
