Day 13 - Bach

Welcome back! It’s the start of a new week! Today in class we had music at 9:04. In music we practiced the songs we are doing and those are Grand old flag, Star spangled banner, and battle hymn of the republic. Then after we practiced those a couple times we moved onto a Bach video. In the video a lot of things happened. So in the beginning it showed a boy and his mom was washing his hair. His dad was getting dressed into his fancy clothes and put his powdered wig on. Then the boy asked, “Father, do you remember what today is?” And his dad didn’t answer but his mother did. She said “Of course we didn’t forget. It’s your birthday!” So she handed him a present. He opened the present and wasn’t quite happy with what he got. It was a wig and dressy suit clothing with buckle shoes. His father took him to the duke to get a small job. The duke said he can be the assistant for the great organist, Bach. Over the time the boy was serving him they grew kinder to each other. After that Mrs. Frank said that we will finish it next music class on Wednesday. After that we came up to the classroom and did math. We did our daily math and then went over our homework from the weekend. This week is an even week so everyone with a red reading record would turn theirs in today. Then we worked on math until break. At break everyone talked and had snack. Then Mr. Steele gave us an appointment circle. An appointment circle is a circle that is basically a clock and it has 12 spaces and in each space it has to have someone’s name. Then when we need partners, Mr. Steele rolls a die and whatever number it lands on we have to go with that person and be partners. After break it was time for science. In science we worked on how to write a material list. We also had to correct some material lists that were messed up. After that it was lunch! So we went to lunch and recess. Then we came back and did social studies. We learned about how the Homo sapiens grew more human like and what characteristics they have grown to have. Then we read a few more paragraphs about that. Then after that we got to go outside and read Bridge to Terabithia. When we went outside it was very windy and cold. What happened today in our book was Jess and Leslie were playing a lot in Terabithia. Then one day at school they heard crying from the girl’s room so they went in and it was Janice Avery! Then we worked on our Hatchet story. We took a quiz on it and finished a definition paper. Then we wrote down some stuff about how to be a good writer. Then we wrote down our homework and did our jobs. Then it was 3:25 and we did pack stack and vac. Then it was time to go home. Have a good night!
