Museum Day for Tuttle

William F.
Mostly today I was the cutter. I cut things out for just about everyone. It is more tiring than it looks. I got to use the spray glue a few times. It was really sticky. I also helped arrange some of the photos and information on the big red pieces of cardboard. I had a great time.

The best thing I have done today was I spray glued. I didn't get as sticky as I thought I would get, but I did spray glue my fingers together. After I got done with that I started cutting holes, into posters and hanging them up with fishing line, it was fun to do that.
I didn't work on the medicine exhibit, but I worked on the elements poster. I did fluorine, which is in fluoride and toothpaste. So, so far I have a great time and I can't wait to do it again.

When I started setting up exhibits at the Carnegie Museum the first thing I did was vacuum an area so an exhibit could be set up there. Then, I cut papers with a cutting board, so they could be placed onto an exhibit. Next, I went upstairs and put fishing line through holes in posters that were part of a medical exhibit then hung them up. I also moved stuff around and decorated a table (only with a table cloth). I had a fun time at the Carnegie, and I was glad that I got to miss a half day of school I hope to come back soon!

This has been a day of odd jobs. I fixed typos on papers and glued the project together. I worked with Connor on the Native American Project and it took a whole wall. I've still got spray glue on my fingers as I type this.

Today was fun! I had a HUGE project to work on. I did the exhibit on Native American Medicine. It filled up a whole wall and took us (me and Free) half of the day! When we spray glued I got it all over me!

I didn't think this would turn out as well as it is. I thought it'd be pretty hectic, a bunch of kids running around with spray glue. Nothing of the sort. We were as organized as middle school kids could be with little supervision, and I think we did pretty well. Sticky is one word I would use to describe this. Right now my fingers are sticking to the keyboard because I touched too much of the glue. It was fun though. We had to work in groups that were just thrown together, ones we didn't think would work. But it turned out really good. We got along great and it was fun. Seemed shorter than it was.

This is the first time I have ever written a blog. We are making posters and being very messy with spray glue. This is a lot better then sitting in a desk learning Science, or Social Studies. My project I worked on in 7th grade was Pioneer Medicines, and Cures. In my group were Elizabeth and Chloe. Though we didn't get a lot accomplished each day being best friends, we finally finished and it's awesome! It is raining outside today. It's a good day to be inside working on your project and being with your friends. You should come and see all the hard work we have done. It has taken a lot of time to do all of the projects all dealing with medicine. Come check out this museum! It's great. I will see you on opening day, March 1st!

My experience being at the Carnegie Museum was Amazing. Setting up was really fun! The people working at the Carnegie are really nice, and they would make your experience so much better!
I got to use spray glue for the first time and it was very interesting. I didn't think that putting a museum together would be so much fun!! I'm positive that if you were to come to the Carnegie you would enjoy it! And you would learn a lot! Trust me it's worth it!!!

My name is Jake Z. I had a great time at the Carnegie and it was definitely one of those "fun museum experiences." I got to spray glue for the first time and it was pretty sweet. I also got to see the project that I had done last year for the exhibit all finished and ready. I even got to carry some bedpans around and put them in a display case!! Hopefully they had been washed a couple times. Ehh. One of the coolest things was learning how to make cards that flipped all around and made different things. They were just about amazing. I encourage anyone and everyone to come visit the museum when it is all ready because the exhibits are cool and the people are great. Be sure to look for the Roosevelt Hospital for Colored People exhibit created by yours truly and a couple other kiddos. Peace out yo!!!

At the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County there are tons of interesting exhibits. There are tons of things for you to do, it is very interactive and a great time for everybody.

I looked at the Civil War surgical kit, it was interesting to see what kind of instruments they used to cut off legs.

I like the Before TV room, which has chess sets set up.
Today I am here spray gluing exhibit boards and moving museum pieces into place.

At Carnegie Museum there are lots of great exhibits such as real diseases and diseases doctors use to use leeches for. They use to use leech to cure headaches and stomachaches and now a days if you lose a limb they put leeches on it and suck the blood and release a chemical that prevents blood clotting.

Today I put together some posters with spray glue and hung up a lot of posters.
I got this neat paper thing that looks like you can only open it like one time but you can open it like four times and it gives you different information about the museum. If you want this neat thing you can come to the Carnegie and get one.

My name is Chase J. The Carnegie Museum has been a great experience for me today. We came here to set up exhibits that we started last year, and we are also setting up others' work. This museum is pretty amazing. It has many things from Montgomery County, and many are from Crawfordsville. The effort put up by the other students has made it much easier for my group, but all together, we are making the Carnegie the best that it can be. The Carnegie will be a fun and exciting place when it is finished, so come check it out! Please

Yesterday at the Carnegie

My name is Lyndsy J. (Middle School Student) It has been such a fun experience being able to work at the Carnegie Museum with my classmates.
Today I have laid out display boards including "Common Plants Used to make Medicine," and also "Madison Township's relation to Quinine." I have sprayed my jeans with spray glue and broke the top of the glue, via my extremely sticky fingers.
Working at the Carnegie Museum today has been awesome. I really encourage everyone to come to the Carnegie. It's definitely a fun experience.

This is the first time I have ever done a blog entry. Missing school to come set up our projects from last year was very exciting to me! When we first got here we took a tour of the place and we saw a lot of neat things. From Doctors to Medical chairs, you can see everything here at the Carnegie Museum. My project was about pioneer medicine and cures. I had two partners, Spencer and Chloe. We loved doing our project and we learned a lot of interesting facts along the way. This project isn't the easiest, but I can say it was one of the most fun things I have done. In class we did happen to talk a lot being good friends, but in the end we got it done! Come see our projects in the museum!!
