After break, some of us went on the netbooks, and the rest of us took a reading test because they had trouble on the reading record thingy’s. Then, we got to go to P.E. In P.E., we worked on basketball. When physical education came to an end, we all went back up to the wonderful classroom, and we began science. In science, we worked on writing our own investigation. Then, we went to lunch.
                Then came the beloved recess, and after that, we had to come back and do some math with RTI. After RTI, we all came back to the classroom, and we did some social studies!

Day 52-Bullying is NEVER ok.



                Today is the 52nd 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.

Day 51-Climb or Die



                Today is the 51st 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!
