Day 58-The most…SPECIAL music lesson….

                Today is the 58^th day of school. We came in, and we did all of our morning work, and the, after we were all checked off, we got on the computers, and we wrote the investigation we have been working on, on the computer. So, once we typed up most/some of the experiments, we had break. Then, we came back to our seats, and we worked MORE on the science. Then, we went to music. I will just let the students tell you guys about music. Let me just say, we LOVE Mrs. Frank. Then, we came back, and we did some probability in math. Then, we went to lunch/recess.

                After recess, we came back in, and we DIDN’T do RTI, because it was Wednesday, so we got out early! YAY! So, we came back in, and we did some more math, and we tried to fit in social studies, but that BARELY happened. Then, we packed up and went home.

Day 57-Fire Drill Frenzy #2

                Today is the 57^th day of school. We all scurried in, ready to do our morning work, and we did! Then, we all got onto the computers once we were all checked off, and we worked more with the Social Studies project with the pictures and the circles and the history stuff! Then once we did some of that, we had break. After break, we came back, and we did some science. In science, we did some more of our investigation writing it out thingy majiger…OH! Right, it’s called writing an investigation! So, then, we went to P.E., in gym, we did some Basketball. It was fun…Then, when we came back, we did some math with more probability. It was fun.

                 Then, we went to lunch. Now, todays recess wasn’t like every other recess. 1 minute before recess ended, we had a fire drill. Now, Mr. Steele had told us before recess, WAYYY before recess. So, we went to the bottom field, and we waited, and we waited, and we waited, until Mrs. Stairs came down and told us we were REALLY bad when we came out! Wow! Now that is what I call a rude awakening! So, we all took a mental note, and we remembered to do better next time we had a fire drill. So, we came back in, and we did about 20 minutes of RTI. Then, we all came back to the class, and we finished those questions from earlier in the day, WAYYYYYY before lunch. It seems like such a long time ago considering we had that fire drill. So, we got crack-a-lacking on math, and then once we finished the math, we started on some Social Studies! In social studies, we wrote sentences on each artifact. After this, we did some Language Arts. In Language Arts, we talked and read about Climbing Mt. Everest. We also talked about diseases and ways to die when you are climbing Mt. Everest! It was very enjoyable!!!!! Then, we packed up and we went home.

Day 56-Probability, likely or not?!

                Today is the 56^th day of school. We came in, and we got started immediately on morning work. When we did morning work, we noticed that Mr. Steele had only put up the math, and the word of the day. But, since it meant less work for us, we didn’t say anything, and we did finally begin morning work. After our first morning period of the day, we then got the computers, and some of us finished the Climb or Die questions. Once most of us were towards the end, or we finished, Mr. Steele had us all get our computers, and we did the Characteristics of a Civilization publisher stuff. Then, we had break. After break, we came back to our seats, and we worked more on the science investigations writing. Then, we went to music. After science, we went down to the music room. In music, we played bingo. Then, when we got all settled back into our classroom, we began a new math unit called probability. In probability, Mr. Steele taught us how to understand probability. After math, we went to lunch.

Then, once our time off academics for less than an hour ended, we came back to the classroom and we did some RTI. Then, after RT, we all came back to the classroom, and we did some more math. In THIS math lesson, we continued working on some more Probability. After this, we started some Social Studies. In Social Studies, we looked at artifacts. Then, we packed up and went home.

Day 52-Bullying is NEVER ok.

                Today is the 52^nd day of school. We came in, only to find that our seats had been moved AGAIN! So, we sucked it up, and we sat down. Then, once we started our morning work, we had a big talk ABOUT the big talk that we had yesterday. After this, we got to get the laptops and we got to answer questions on the Climb or Die story. Then, we learned how to make graphs in Excel. Then, we had break. After break, we all gloomily came back to our seats, and we then worked more on Excel. After this handy little lesson, we got to go down to the Library. When library finally came to an end, we headed back up to the classroom, and we did some math. In math, we learned how to divide fractions by fractions. Then, we watched a news video about how bullying caused a girl to hang herself. She was only ten years old. This lesson taught us that no matter what age you are, bullying is never ok!

                Then, we all got teary eyed, so we went to lunch, and then, since it is Friday, we got to play Friday Games. In this game session, we got to play Elimination. It was very fun. Then, we came back up to the classroom, and we had RTI, and then, we worked more on dividing fractions by fractions. It was confusing, but we all got it. Then after math, we got to do some Social Studies.  In this history lesson, we learned about other characteristics of a civilization. When Social Studies came to an end, we all packed up, and went home.

                Today is the 51^st day of school. We came in, and we did some morning work. Then, we read to chapters in our Social Studies book about Religion and Government. Then, we did some Language Arts. In Language Arts, we read ANOTHER story called Climb or Die. Well, nice way to kind of kick off our morning. But, we didn’t get to read it because we have to go to P.E. Bummer, RIGHT?! Anyways…….we got to dribble basketballs in P.E. Then, when we came back up and we did some math. Then, when the bell rang, Mr. Steele told us that we couldn’t go to lunch. And when he said this, we ALL knew that he wasn’t kidding. So, at around 12:30, Mrs. Stairs came down, and we had a big talk about how the sixth graders had lost their privileges for lunch and recess. So, after the BIG talk, we finally got to go to lunch. After lunch came recess. Then, we came back in and we did RTI, and then, we did some math with story problems. Then, we did some science and we worked with graphs. After science, we did Language Arts, and then we went home. GOODBYE!
