Day 154- MSP Practice in the Computer Lab

Hello everyone! Today is Monday, May 16, 2011. We came into the classroom, and started our morning routine. We needed to bring our net books to music, so at about 9:03, we got them out. At our normal time, we went to music. We looked at a Russian performer, and then went into a different room and played a game called “Time Machine”, which spits out composers, and you have to name their period that they lived in. Then we went back to class and worked on morning math. We reviewed the questions for MSP, and then we did some more MSP review. We focused on nets and 3D figures. We drew the nets of dice, individual Starburst candies, and if we found the surface area, volume, and the 3D shape of the dice and candies, then we got to do a box of Nerds. We got to eat them once we got done and got them checked by the teachers. Then we had break. During break time, we went to an assembly for 3rd through 6th grade for band. They had two groups that played two songs each. One group was the sixth grade band, and the other was the junior high band. When they were done at about 11:45, we went back to class and continued to work on the nets and 3D shapes of the dice, Starbursts, and Nerds until 12:05. Then we docked our net books and went out to recess.
When we came back, we went to the computer lab to look at a tutorial for the online test that we are going to take for the MSP on Thursday. Once we got the headphones working and we took it, we did the practice test. You got to use the striker which was used to mark answers that were wrong, the highlighter to highlight important part of the questions, and other tools that were important to taking the test. Then we came back and went over what we are going to do for our science lesson tomorrow, and then we passed out homework. We got to work on it for about five minutes, when we did PSV, wrote down homework, and left. Don’t forget to come to McDonald’s night where the teachers serve you! Here’s your homework:
