Good morning! Today is Monday, June 6, 2011. We came into the classroom and started our morning routine. We went to P.E at 9:04. In P.E., we got to do scooters, climb ropes, play Ring Toss, throw foam balls into buckets, and do the Rope Swing. In scooters you were just riding around for about five minutes, and in Ring Toss you were throwing rings around cones. You were throwing the balls into buckets at Ball Toss, and climbing two hanging ropes. The last station was Rope Swing, on which you just got on the rope and swung back and forth ten times. We went back to class, finished our morning work, and then got our net books out. Once they were out, we went to recess. After we came back, we worked on our Moving Up/Graduation PowerPoint. You could only have one slide, and you had to include certain things; #1 is your name, #2 is what your goal is for junior high, for example, to get straight A’s, #3 is your goal for the future, for example, to finish college, and last #4 is a fond memory from Juanita Elementary. Then you could include a school picture from this year (2010-2011). You can also bring pictures from home, and can add clip art. We worked on the PowerPoint, and once we were finished we worked on CIV. Then we went out to recess.
When we came back, we did the glaze for our artifacts (for those who don’t know, glaze is tiny grains of silica or glass in paint, and when it is put in a kiln, it melts, forming a glassy surface). You could choose from black, white, brown, green, blue, red, yellow, and purple. Once we had painted our artifacts, we put a coat of green liquid glass that forms a clear glossy shell around the artifact when baked. It took most of the afternoon, and was a lot of fun! We came back around 3:00 to 3:10. When we were all seated, we read an article about virtual images. Then we did PSV, did our jobs, and left. Your homework is Read 30 minutes and Reading Record. Enjoy your evening!
