Day 138- Special Photography

Good morning everyone! Today is Thursday, April 21, 2011. We entered the classroom and went through our morning routine. We didn’t have any specialists so we did morning math until 9:40. By then everyone had gotten their net books out. We did an Activote test on surface area and volume. Then we were surprised with two things, a cylinder, and a color blindness test. The way you find the volume of a cylinder is you find the area of the 2D circle, and then multiply it by the height. The color blindness test was because on the MSP, of which we are taking on the computer, there are questions that are color-coded. Then we divided up into two new groups, and went our own second ways. Eight people went with the teacher, while the rest remained behind. We stayed that way until break, when we rejoined in the classroom. After break, we tried to finish our Avatar projects, and we worked on Mystery Class, trying to figure out our group’s location, as well as others. We worked until lunch, and decided to use our free- game pass. So we went outside and played Capture the Flag.
When we came back from lunch, we worked on math. This lesson was about finding the area of cylinders. During that time, we had the special photography for safety patrol, Global Reading Challenge, choir, honor choir, orchestra, honor orchestra, band, and honor band. After we finished the math lesson, we took a Social Studies test on the geography of ancient Greece. We graded the multiple choice questions as a group, and then went on and read some more of “The Giver”. Then we wrote down our summary, and did PSV, wrote down homework, and left. Here’s your homework:
