Day 45 - Assyrians and Babylonians

Good morning! Welcome back to class! So we climbed up the back stairs and then walked into our classroom. We got our chairs and unpacked and were ready to learn. So we did calendar math and word of the day as always. We did our daily problem, counting tape, daily shape, and daily depositor. So while we did that Mr. Steele came around and checked to see who had homework and who didn’t. About 70% had homework and 30% didn’t. We are hoping that we will soon get 100% homework. That day will come soon though. So we did calendar math and some daily math until it was time to go to computer lab. At 10:00 we lined up and headed down to computer lab. In computer lab Mr. Steele showed us some new things on Microsoft office PowerPoint. It was really cool because we learned stuff that most people never knew about. So we worked on stuff in the computer lab until it was time to go back to the class for break.

At break we had snacks and did talking for our 10 minutes. Once those ten minutes passed we went back to math. What we did in math today was our algorithm posters. We started them for the first time to today. We had to finish them today. So we had to work quickly. We only had an hour to finish the whole poster. We were going to make them within our group and then vote on them at the end. Who’s ever got the most votes would get $400 for the whole group. We got to figure out how to split it. So then it was time to go to recess. Most groups had not finished so they stayed in and worked on it. Then after a while we had to go to lunch.

At lunch they were serving a chicken sandwich, hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken nuggets and pizza sticks. Then once we came back from lunch we did social studies. We had to do a lot of reading about four or five pages. Then we answered questions about it too in our social studies binder. After about an hour if social studies we went and finished up the dinosaur video from the other day. It was a really, really good and interesting video. Then we moved onto Hamlet. We read a chapter in it and it was a good chapter too.
