Good morning class! Today is Tuesday, April 12, 2011. We came into class and went through our morning routine. As usual, we went to specialists at 9:05. We had P.E. today. We learned how to play a new game called Steal the Pins, which is pretty much a modified version of Capture the Flag. We were divided up into teams, and then we divided the gym up into two halves. The gym teacher established a “puppy- guarding line”, and then placed six of the foam weighted pins and a bucket. The pins could be placed back no further than the red line, and the bucket had to stay underneath the basketball hoops. Each team had to stand between the puppy- guarding line and the line that divided the gym in two. There were two jails on either side. The objective was to tag all of the members on the other team, or to steal all the pins. If you were tagged on the other team’s side, you went to jail. If you hit the bucket on their side, there was a jail break for your team. You could pick up as many pins as you wanted and try to get them back to your side. It was a lot of fun!
When we came back, we worked on our morning math, got our net books out, and did the Daily Problem. Then our teacher showed us some persuasive writing paragraphs, and depending on what it was, we had to rearrange it to flow and make more sense, or we had to take out details that didn’t belong, didn’t make sense, or that didn’t back up the main idea. We worked on it until break, all of us taking turns going up to the board and crossing out sentences. When we came back, we worked on our Avatar project. Our teacher went around to everyone who needed help with their avatars, while the rest of us continued to work on our stripes. Then we went to lunch. Our teacher let us play Mario Kart, but warned us that after today, it would be twenty dollars in funny money to stay in and play on the computers or play Mario Kart.
When we came back, we took a long math test on the “Covering and Surrounding” unit. It took us an astounding two hours! Then we went over it at 3:00. We passed it in, and then watched the video on Global Warming. Our teacher wants to finish the video so that we can go on to watch the video that states the opposite side on Global Warming. Then at 3:25, we did PSV, wrote down homework, and left. Enjoy your evening! Here’s your homework:
