Hi everyone! Today is Monday, April 11, 2011. This morning, we came into class and went through our morning routine, and at our normal time, we went down to P.E. We played a modified version of “Pin Knockdown”. Instead we used weighted foam pins, and we had several other changes as well. We were divided into five groups, and we divided the gym into four sections. One section was the beginner’s square, and the other was the King’s square, where we went when we had gone through all the other sections. One group went to the King’s square, another to the third, the second, and the beginner’s square. The remaining group went to the sidelines along the beginner’s and the second square where they waited for a group to get out so they could get in. One person from each group went to get a gator skin ball and a foam ball. They returned to their group while the remaining people went to get their own foam balls. The objective was to either knock all the pins down from one group, or hit all the players and get them all out. If one group was eliminated, all the groups behind it moved up (if the group in the King’s square were eliminated they would go to the sidelines, and the beginner’s square would move to the second square, the second to the third, the third to the King’s, and the sideline’s to the beginner’s square).
When we came back, we continued to get our net books out and do our calendar math. Then we went over our persuasive writing by ourselves, and then with a partner until break. When we came back, we worked on our Avatar projects. We worked on the eyes and the stripes until lunch. Then our teacher brought out Mario Kart on the Xbox. He gave us two options. We could go outside or we could stay in and take turns playing. Most people chose to stay in, but some people weren't interested and they went outside.
After lunch, we worked on a math packet. It went over the area and perimeter/circumference of circles, rectangles, and squares. Then, we looked at some questions about light. We brainstormed together, and then we went onto Social Studies. We read two chapters on Ancient Greece. It was all about travel and farming. We went to our notebooks and answered a couple of questions on the selection. Then we continued to watch the video on Global Warming. After ten minutes, we wrote down homework, did PSV, and left. Have a nice evening! Here’s your homework:
