Day 38 - Paramecium

We are now back, on to our normal schedule! We had three days with early release at noon. Most people are sad to see it go but still, it’s nice to have a normal schedule again. So today in class we got out our calendar math and did that. Calendar math in the morning is a regular routine now. So when it was time to go to PE we lined up in the back of the classroom. So today in PE we did the high jump. Well at least the boys did. The girls get to do it next week. So while some boys did the high jump, other people did some other kinds of jumping games. One was to see how high you jump, and the other was to see how far you could jump. We also could do the animal grabbing game, where there are three animals and you race to see who can grab them first. So after a while most people sat down to watch some of the boys do the high jump. Then Mr. Steele came in and took us back to our classroom. When we got back to the classroom we went over the calendar math and homework too. Then it was time for break.

At break we had snack and caught up with all the news from our friends. So once we finished break we finished up our daily math. Once we finished that up, we moved onto science. In science we were put into three different stations again. We would do either microscopes, a scientific drawing, or dissect a lima bean. For the microscopes we would take some of the pond water and look at it under the microscope. We had to see what we could spot in the water. Some groups saw some pretty neat things. If you were doing the scientific drawing then you would have to copy a picture of a paramecium. We had to label it too. If you were doing the lima bean then you would take a lima bean and then suck on it for about five minutes. We would take the lima bean out of our mouth after five minutes and then take the shell off of it. Then we would split it open and do some investigating on what was inside it. So then by the time all that was done it was time to go outside.

So we went outside and had recess. After forty five minutes we went inside for our twenty minute lunch. The once lunch was over we came inside and we went straight to social studies. In social studies we did another end of the chapter Activote quiz. But we still got two questions on paper. By the time we finished the quiz it was about 2:30. After social studies we moved onto reading Hamlet. So we read it to about almost three o’clock. Then we worked on our climb or die story until the end of the day. Then we did jobs and pack stack and vac. That was the end of our day and then it was time to go home.
