Day 19 - Pottery

This morning in class we came in and unpacked. Today we had PE at 9:04. At PE we did the end of the bike unit test. It was about a four page test. In the test it went over what we had learned during the bike unit. We corrected it together in PE and finished at about 9:50. So when we got back to the classroom Mr. Steele told us that we are going to do some group teaching. Mr. Nash took a part of the class and Mr. Steele took the other half. In those groups we did corrected our homework and then did some extra work on math. He said that we will do this a lot more often when Mr. Nash comes back. OH! I forgot to mention that tomorrow is Mr. Nash’s last day. :( So we are really sad about him leaving. But he will return in January. When he is back we will do a lot more double teaching and sometimes it will be just Mr. Nash teaching.

By the time we were done with that it was break time. At break time we had snack and some people used the restroom and just talked a lot. Then after we finished break we did science. The whole time during science we worked on our big graph paper thing. By the time it was lunch most people were at least at the experiment part. So everyone went to lunch and ate a yummy lunch and then had recess.

After everyone came back from lunch and recess we did social studies. In social studies we learned how some of the people are now transforming into home builders. They are using clay/mud and drying it in the sun so they are rock hard. They would take those bricks and make homes. Then they started making pottery. That was a big deal because they were used for storage and for trading. Then we worked on a paper about what we were learning. So after we finished that we moved onto a story we read about a hero. His name was Nelson Mandela. He was born into a royal family in South Africa. His family had raised him to be a chief but he went his own way and became a lawyer. He was put into prison for life for protesting about more rights and freedom for black people. Then we talked about it for a while. After that we moved on to Bridge to Terabithia. Then Mr. Steele told us that we are going to read Hamlet. Then we would go see the actual play on December 2nd. Mr. Steele said that it was a great book. So we continued onto Bridge to Terabithia. Then when we were done reading it was time for jobs. So we did jobs and then did pack stack and vac. That was the end of our day.
