Day 70-The day before we got 2 weeks off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                Today is the 70th day of school. We entered, and we did morning work. We then did not get onto the computers, but we had ANOTHER early session of math. It might be a new routine…anyways, in math, we got to play a game called roller derby. It was fun and exciting. If math can be exciting…so, we finished THIS math lesson, and we had break. Then, since I can’t explain what everybody did at break, we came back to our seats, and we did even more math. Well, that’s ok, because we get 2 weeks Of NO math. Then, we went to Library. In library, we had to do our book talks with the sub. Then, once we came back from the big book room, we did Social Studies. In this subject, we worked in our worksheet thing. Then, we went to lunch.
                After lunch, we played the game, and then we came back and we did RTI. Then, we came back to our classroom, and we did some science with our bacteria homes. Aww, this was our last day of observing them! So…maybe that’s a yay……I don’t know…anyways, we then got to watch a video for the rest of the day about bacteria and how gross it is!!!! So, with that said, have a wonderful break/Christmas!

Day 69- The Juanita Sing-Along/choir fieldtrip



                Today is the 69th day of school. We came in, and we started morning work, except, there was none! So, we all read, and then, we did math with Ms. McCreary. After our early session of math, we observed our bacteria homes. Some of us had some really disgusting colonies! After we made our observations in science, we headed down to P.E, and got to play games of basketball. Afterward, we came back to class and worked on some more math. In math we talked about our genetics and how it can be predicted by probability. We each made a chart, and asked people if they had an attached earlobe, dimples, straight hair, or a widow’s peak. It was a bit uncomfortable when people asked, “What does your ear look like?” Anyway, at 12:25 the bell rang and we all went down to lunch.
                After we all got our energy down to a minimum, the bell rang and we all came back in for RTI. After RTI, we worked on some more math. We have had a lot of math today haven’t we? Every kid’s dream; thank you Mr. Steele!! At 2:40 we all headed down to the cafeteria, to watch…THE JUANITA SING-ALONG!!!! The songs included: The Twelve Days of Christmas (which we proudly took part in), and the choir sang, too!

Day 68-Math with Ms. McCreary



                Today is the 68th day of school. We came in, and we did morning work. It was like every other morning work thing, so there’s not much that you don’t already know. Then, once we were all logged onto the computers, we did Type to Learn.  Then, we went onto the Foss website, and we looked at bacteria and germs! And then, we had break. After break, we came back and did the same thing. Once 11:20 rolled around on the clock, we went to music to practice our beautiful voices for the sing a long tomorrow. It was fun. FIVE GOLDEN RING’S!!! Then, we came back to the classroom, and we did math with Ms. McCreary. Then, we went to lunch.
                Today was Wednesday, so we played a basketball game in the gym with Mr. Steele. Then, we came back to the classroom, and we continued and finished the math. It was Wednesday, so we went home at 2:00.

Day 66-Bacteria in Mr. Steele’s classroom



                Today is the 66th day of school. We came in, and we started on morning work. It was the usual math, science, social studies, and reading. Then, we got onto the computers, and some of us finished the questions, and others did type to learn, and cool math. Then, once the time came, we had break. We came BACK from break, and we did MORE science questions. Then, we went to music. In music, we got to work with instruments. Then, we came back up here to the classroom once music ended, and we did math. Then, we went to lunch.
                Lunch and recess came and went, and before we knew it, all of us were back in the classroom ready to get some RTI going. Then, we finished the math that we started before music. Once this ended, we got to do science. In science, we went around the classroom and we got to find bacteria. It was cool. Once we finished science, we all did Social Studies. In this subject, we read about the empires again. Then, we packed up, and went home!

Day 65-Did you know what lives on YOUR body?




                Today is the 65th day of school. We came in from the cold December morning, ready to learn. So, we did morning work, and then we logged onto the computers, and we typed up the science questions. Then, we had break. After break ended, we all came back to our seats and we did some social studies. In social studies, we read about a new empire. This empire was named Assyria. Then, after social studies came to an end, we went down to the good ole’ library. In library, we had a substitute, so we got to work on our book talks that Ms. Joseph had planned out for us. When 11:50 rolled around, we came back up to the classroom, and we did some math. In math, we worked more once again on probability. In this lesson of probability, we got to take a test! That’s a wonderful way to end our week here at school. Then, once we finished the test, we went to lunch.

                 Since it was game day, we got to play elimination. It was very fun. But once we heard the bell ring, we had to go back up to the classroom. Then, we had RTI. After RTI, we all came back here, and we corrected our test. Then, we got to watch a really weird and gross video about what bugs live on us, and what bugs EAT us! Let’s just say the girls were…very grossed out. Then, we packed up and went home, because it was another beautiful Friday.

Day 63 - Trees come in math and science!



                Today is the 63rd day of school. We came in, and we did morning work. Then, we hopped onto the computers and we continued writing our letters. After this, most of us printed our letters because we were finished, and we turned them in. It was relieving to have one less thing on our chest! Then, we got to play Lure of the Labyrinth, and then we had break. When break came to an end, we went back to  our seats, and we got to read from the green Diversity of Life science textbook, and we read about trees and other plants and what they do. Then, we went to music. In music, we got to read over the Martin Luther King play. Since that took up the whole music class, we came back to the classroom when music ended, and we did some math. In math, we learned how to make probability trees. Then, we got to go and eat.

                After our break from school, we came back from recess, and we worked more on the math. Then, since it is an early release day, we packed up and we went home.

Day 60 - Gee Whiz Everybody Wins!



                Today is the 60th day of school. We came in, and we began something I like to call morning work. It was very interesting, because today, teacher didn’t give us the shape. We just had to figure out what shape it was. But, since he said diameter, we ALL knew that it was a circle. Then, we got onto the computers, and we typed up our data for the science experiments, and we put graphs on it. It was like any other science day…so it was REALLY boring. Then, after we did some science, we had break. Once we heard the bell ring indicating that break was over, we headed back to our seats, and we finished the science thing, and then, we did something new. We learned how to find the area of a circle. Then, we went to Library. In Library, we checked in our books, and we worked more on the project things. Then, we went back up to the classroom. Once back in the classroom, we did some more finding-area-of-a-circle, and then we went to lunch.

                Since today was Friday, December 02, 2011, we got to have a game. So, we played a new game called Fortress something…I can’t really remember the name, so let’s just call it fortress. Since we earned 5 minutes, we got to leave lunch early, and go and play the game in the gym. It was pretty EPIC! Then, we came back, and we did RTI. After RTI, we came back and we did some reading. After this, we got to do some movie time! We watched some social studies thing about writing. When the movie ended, we did a math game named Gee Whiz Everybody Wins! Mr. Steele got very excited about that….anyways, after we played the game, we packed up and we went home. Yay! It has finally been a full week.
