Day 04 - States of Matter

During class today, we went to PE at 9:05. At PE we did the bike unit. Everyone was a little… big for the bikes. People’s knees would almost hit the handlebars! Activities we did during our PE time were, The Zigzag, Snail Race, and The Car Scan. The Zigzag is a squiggle line made out of chalk. With our bikes we follow the line. The snail race is a race where two or three people “race” to the end. But the goal is to not be the first to end. It’s to be the last. You need to be as slow as you can. The car scan is where we have one of the teacher/volunteers to tell us a signal and we do it. I think… After we returned from PE we found out what our new jobs were. Next we did our daily math. Then we worked on some “factor trees”. Our numbers we used were 72, 120, and 600. After some math it was 11:00 and we opened the wall for break. While our break was in session everyone was chatting and catching up on what has happened in class. Science came next. For science we kept the wall open and Mr. Steele taught both 6th grade classes. By the time science was done it was lunch time. At recess various people played various games and did different things. Some of those things are hanging out with friends, play sports, and tag. After recess our class came up and Mr. Steele said if you are not in your seat by 1:10 you are considered late and then Dominic (the fine master) will charge you a fine. Then we did art. We took a blank piece of paper and folded it portrait style. Then Mr. Steele showed us how to make our name all awesomeness and funky. During the time while we worked on our art he put on some… odd music. It was pretty cool and fun. Some sounded like a scary movie and some sounded like Indian flutes and another was from a video game called Zelda. Once we finished art we moved onto our class reading. Our book is Bridge to Terabithia. In our book a new character was introduced. Her name was Leslie Burke. While Mr. Nash or Mr. Steele read, if we hear a simile we shout simile and write it down on our simile paper. After we finished reading a couple chapters we wrote summaries about what we read. Then we discussed it after too. Then we worked on our “Where I’m from” poem. Mr. Steele showed us some examples of poems his past students made. Some were about grandmas and some about sushi! Now Mr. Steele let us have free time. Well sort of. It’s a catch up time. We can work on our, Where I’m from poem, name art, and once we are done we can read our Houghton Mifflin book. The story we would read would be Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. So I’m done typing until next time!
