Hi everyone! Welcome to school. Today is January 26, 2011. Everyone came in and unpacked, and headed down to music. We are doing a skit called Bullies Anonymous. Turns out, we only have two weeks to learn our parts and rehearse because the teachers wanted to have it then. So we read the rest of the script, and signed up for parts (We gave preferences on whether we wanted to be a bully, a teacher, or the chorus, and how good we were at singing solos, and our preference for the size of our parts. When we got back, Mr. Nash did math. We did the same thing, multiplying decimals. Our goal was to understand place value, and to come up with factor pairs. We transformed into groups of 4, and got to work. We focused on using multiplication to find the products that were listed in the book. For example, we had to find two numbers to that gave a product of 134.4. We also did “What number times 0.3 gives the product 9?” Then we stopped for break.
After break, we did science. You remember I said we designed experiments on Tuesday? Well we did them today. We took our rocks, and made our observations. Then the fun began. Everyone loaded their rocks into their jars. Mr. Steele had a timer, so he said go, and it got really noisy, really fast. One person from every group was shaking their jar. At the end of the minute, we made our observations. We did the same thing again, until the 3 mins. time. Then we went non-stop until 4 minutes (we traded off). Then we finished our experiment (Summary, Conclusion, and Improvements. It was lunch time, and most people went to Mrs. Miera’s Baby Shower. After lunch, we did Art Docent. We studied Paul Cezanne. He was born in France, and his father was a banker. All Paul wanted to do was do art, and he continued to do art throughout his life. He made Still Life art. We are doing a portrait of fruit. Here’s the homework for tonight.
