Day 09 - Barack Obama Speech

This morning was just like yesterdays morning. We went to PE at 9:04 again. During PE we got to ride the bikes on the upper field. We did the rock dodge, the snail race, the figure eight, and the car scan again. Then when we returned from PE we did our daily math and the word of the day. Then Mr. Steele said that we are going to watch a speech that Barack Obama was giving. It was a live speech. He talked about our education. He said that no one can write our destiny but ourselves. He said that when he was about a teenager he was a bit of a goof off. His grades were slipping and he wasn’t preparing himself for life. When you are a teenager they have a lot of questions about who they are and what they are going to do in life. He said that a good motto is “I achieve my goal and help others achieve theirs.” (By Tamara in Georgia) He said a lot of good quotes like, “If you work harder in school you get farther in life.” and “Luck doesn’t just come to you, you have to work for it.” Then talked about what you can do when you graduate college. You are able to do things like work for Microsoft, be a doctor, or a scientist, or even work for Google! Then we moved onto math. Mr. Nash taught us for a little while. We were using Pizza to find a percent and a fraction. Then we had break! After break we went over Monday night’s homework. Then we moved onto science. We worked on the changed variables, measured variables, and kept the same variables again like yesterday. We got a paper and we would have to guess what variable was wrong in the experiment. We worked on that with our partners. Then when time ran out we worked on it alone until it was done. Then Mr. Steele told us to work on our Pre-Assessment for writing. After about 30 min of working on that it was lunch time. Then after lunch we came back and instead of doing social studies we finished our pre- assessment. Mr. Steele told us that if you are done with the assessment we can work on our name art or our element. Then we moved onto our class reading. We read Bridge to Terabithia and wrote a small paragraph about what we think would happen next. Then we read one chapter and filled out another question. What we had to fill out was, “I wonder…” We talked about it for a while and then Mr. Steele told us that we get to watch the movie, Bridge to Terabithia when we finish the book. After that we moved onto our Houghton Mifflin. We are going to read Hatchet. Then we moved onto working on our Periodic Elements. Then it was 3:20 so we did our jobs and then at 3:25 we did pack stack and vac. Then we lined up and went home.
