Hello everyone! Today is Tuesday, April 26, 2011. When we entered this morning, we went through our morning routine. Then at 9:05, we went to P.E. Today we went outside to practice throwing our Frisbees. We set up pins and hula-hoops on the rock wall to practice with. We were eventually forced to stop because the Frisbees were getting cracked from flying into the wall. So we went on to setting up cones and throwing Frisbees to each other. Then we cleaned up and went inside. When we got back inside, we did a math lesson. It was about dimensions and what happens if you double one of the dimensions or all of them. We did that until break. When we returned, we did the same thing. At about 11:30, we worked on our persuasive writing. We finished up working on those persuasive ads, drop boxed them, and worked on the storm chasers questions and answers under the MSP folder in Read Only. Then we went out to recess.
When we came back, we did science. It was all about shadows. We saw that the closer a Popsicle stick with a black circle was to the light, the bigger and the fuzzier/blurrier the shadow was on the screen. The closer it was to the screen, the smaller it was (closer it was to being its actual size), and the more defined it was (darker). Then we studied Oligarchy and Tyranny in Social Studies. Oligarchy was when the wealthiest people ran the city-state. Tyranny was when people fought to be the ruler. Leaders arose, and the people supported them. The people with the most support crushed the resisting people, or the others went to join a stronger force. Then we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of exiling and executing the opposite side. We also talked about giving gifts to win their trust. During the study of Tyranny, someone took some of the class mates away to take pictures of them for the year book. They were the Most Likely. Then we played Heads Up 7UP and Toss the Story. Then we did PSV, wrote down homework, and left. See you tomorrow! Here’s your homework:
