Day 05 - Molecules

Today in class, we had music at 9:05 am. At music time we went into the lunchroom and not to the normal music room. The reason why was because we had a few people performing from band. They were in about 6th grade to high school. There were two girls and two boys. One of the girls played the flute and the other, a clarinet. One boy played a trumpet and the other boy a larger trumpet which I forgot the name of. The classes that came to the mini concert were our class, Mrs. Miera’s, and Mrs. Niggemeyer’s. The band showed us a couple different songs and how their instruments worked. After that they were done and we had a couple more minutes left of music. So to use those couple minutes up we answered some questions for the 5th graders. They asked us questions like, “Was doing the fundraiser for Outdoor ED worth it?” we answered yes for sure! Outdoor ED is a time where we “Learn in the wilderness”. We got to stay in cabins and learn a lot about the environment and the eco-system. You can only go once and that is in 5th grade. Next we came back up to our class. We did our everyday math. We worked on our arrays, daily variable, daily pattern, and our daily depositor. Mr. Steele showed us how to move a decimal. When we finished that we looked over our homework. Then we worked on some more math review. After about an hour of that we had break. Again for science Mr. Steele kept the wall open and we did science with Mrs. Malloy’s class. We learned about the Periodic Elements. Then we finished some of our scientific word definitions. For science we got a project. The project is about the Periodic Elements. We get assigned an element and we have to draw it and write down the information. Once everyone has turned theirs in, we connect them and make one BIG…. periodic table. We start those tomorrow. Next we had lunch and recess. Then when we returned from lunch we had social studies. There was a cave that we would get pictures and write hypotheses. We had a half day today and our day ended with planners and everyone going home.
