Good morning Mr. Steele’s class! Today is January 25, 2011. We started our morning off by going to PE at 9:05 in the morning. In PE, today is our last day of hockey. The people who were in the game on Monday got to finish the last 1 minute of their game. After PE, we finished calendar math and went over daily shape, daily conversion, and daily shape. Then at about 10:10, we did math. We started Investigation 2.1, multiplying decimals. We got with our 4:00 appointments and got to work. The trick to multiplying decimals is to think of the problem as a regular multiplication problem. Once you solve the problem, go back and count the # of numbers after the decimal (s) in the problem. Then, go to the end of your answer and count to the right (towards the ones place) however many numbers you counted after the decimal in the problem numbers. We took a break at 11:00- 11:00, and then got back to math.
At about 11:25, we started science. In science, we looked at sand. Where did it come from? How did it get there? Turns out, the oldest rock in the Grand Canyon is found under the Muav Limestone, which rock is 1,700,000,000 years old! A question was if sand comes from broken up rocks, how can we test this idea? So we got to design an experiment. 12:10 came, so we went out to recess and lunch. After lunch, we did Ketchup and Mustard. We had to do (in priority order) 1) Science Summative, 2) Amelia Earhart Packet, 3) Writing Prompt, 4) Color Poem, 5) Emperor Poster. At 1:45 in the afternoon, we took a trip down to the computer lab to type up our goals and finish our shopping lists, and do our power points for conferences. When we came back, we continued to work on things we needed to catch up so we didn’t have (as much) homework. At 3:20 we did jobs and wrote down the homework. At 3:25, we did PSV. And that was the end of our day. See you tomorrow!
