Today in class we came in and unpacked. We did our word of the day and daily math. So we went to PE at 9:04am. In PE we did the timed run. The goal for sixth grade was 11 minutes. Most people got a little past the goal. The highest we could go was 25 minutes. So right when we came back up from PE we got a math test.
Then it was time for break. It was Jessica’s birthday today! She brought in cupcakes. We got to have the cupcakes while it was break. So we had our snacks and cupcakes and were satisfied. So after break we did science. We got an assessment for science and we also did microscopes. So while two groups did microscopes other groups worked on the assessment. We switched off doing that. We had a paper that we brought with us and we wrote what we saw in the microscopes. We tested the letter E and a colored mini photo. We also had to look at a feather but most people didn’t have time to finish all of that. So we finished what we could up until it was lunch time.
When we returned from lunch we did a social studies quiz. We got two questions on paper and then we did a lot of multiple choice questions with our ActiVotes. So we worked on that for almost an hour. So after we finished those questions we went outside to read Hamlet in our old Terabithia reading spot. Then we came back up and did a little bit of Houghton Mifflin and then did jobs. Then it was the end of the day.

Day 27 – Sea Monkeys
This morning we unpacked our stuff. Today we had P.E at 9:05.so we went to P.E. and today in P.E we played pop up. We played it because it was free day today. we played almost the whole time of P.E. so then we got back and went over home work. After we went over our daily math. And then it was time for break. We had just been un punished and so then we could see and talk with Mollys class. But during break Mr.Steele put up some sea monkeys over the over head. And then Mr.Steele put some light near the sea monkeys and they were attracted to the light. It was so weird because after he took out the water they moved very fast but then they died and they went back into salt crystals. But for the ones that were still alive Mr Steele put back some water so they could stay alive and they wouldn’t die . then we went to lunch resses.
Then we came back and did social studies. Then we read hamlet. And then we did one half on computers and the other have got to do simile art and do brige to terribithia. Sort of a catch up time. And then we traded jobs.

Day 26 - Jag-a-thon!
This morning, in class we came and unpacked our stuff. Today we had library at 9:15. So we went to library. In library we got back a paper we had been working on almost ever since the first day of school because we don’t have library often. So we finished those papers and then had 10 minutes for checkout. So when we got back from library we went over our homework. So after that we did daily math and then it was time for the jag-a-thon! So we went out did some stretching and then we ran for about 25 minutes. And after we got animal crackers and bottled water. Then we came back and we ate our normal snack and the animal crackers. After we ate we finished up a math problem from this morning.
Then it was lunch time. So at lunch we got to sit where ever we wanted to because we were good yesterday. So today the t-shirt design votes were counted and number 1 and number 2 were the ones to vote between now. When we came back from recess and lunch we did social studies. After we finished that we got our Shakespeare Hamlet books. The words were a little confusing but we will get used to it. So we read one scene and then moved onto our bridge to Terabithia essay and worked on our self evaluation to our essay. Then it was time to do jobs and then we went home! Have a good weekend!

Day 25 - Hamlet
This morning in class we came in and unpacked. We didn’t have any specialist today so we did calendar math and then went over homework. Mr. Steele said that we are taking the MSP in May. He said that we are starting 3 dimensional shapes in May and he said there is a lot of that text in there so we have to hit it hard with the math. It will get hard and very challenging but Mr. Steele thinks we can do it. So we are going to be combining shapes and our normal math when it gets closer to that time. So we went to computer lab at 9:55. So in computer lab we finished our Where I’m from poem and then worked on our Bridge to Terabithia essay. So Mr. Steele showed us how to write type our paper high school and middle school way. So after we came back from lab we had break.
Mr. Steele said he will let us get around and talk but without the wall open. He said if there is no food on the ground we can try normal break again. So we did that and after he went around and examined the floor carefully. Then we moved onto science. We did a lot of talk about what we are going to be doing in science soon. We will be dissecting a squid and using microscopes. So after that it was time for lunch and recess.
At lunch we were able to vote for the t-shirt designs. You can only vote once. So after we came back from recess we did social studies. So we talked about how certain people have certain skills and they would pass on their knowledge to the next generation. So then we watched a video from BBC. It was Hamlet. So we watched it and it was very interesting. Mr. Steele stopped it a lot of times to explain to us what was going on because the language was really old time. So it was harder to understand. We watched all three parts because there were three parts and they were good. So we watched those until the end of the day. At 3:20 we did our jobs and then planner. Then we did pack stack and vac. That was the end of our day.

Day 24 - Picture day
Good morning! This morning was a chilly morning. So today we came in and unpacked. Everyone was dressed up all nice because it was picture day! So at 9:04 we went to PE. Mrs. Malloy’s class came too. We went outside in the cold and practiced the jag-a-thon. So we could run or walk the path to get used to it. So then we came back and did calendar math. So after we were done with that we did some work on math. We learned some new stuff and then worked all the way up to break.
At break we had snack and then chatted. We did science right after break. Mr. Steele found a lot more food on the ground so now we don’t have break with Mrs. Malloy’s class, we have it alone. So in science we got our experiment vials back and we made observations. Some groups had really neat looking observations. Some looked like snails, and some looked like gel! They were pretty cool looking. So we did observations for about 15 minutes and then got a science book. We read in that science book and then answered some questions that go with it. So we worked on that all the way to lunch time. We went out for recess then lunch.
When we came back from lunch, we went straight into our class pictures and single pictures. When we finished the pictures we came back up to the classroom and worked on our Bridge to Terabithia essays. We worked on those until the end of the day. Then we did our jobs and pack stack and vac. That was the end of our short Wednesday.

Day 23 - Half Substitute
This morning in class we came in and unpacked. We went to PE at 9:04am. In PE we played doctors in the battle field. While everyone was playing the game Mrs. Kolwes called back three people at a time to stretch and do the sit and reach test. That’s all that really happened in PE today. So when we got back to the classroom we did our calendar math and then did some daily math. We didn’t have math homework last night so we didn’t have to go over anything today. But we did learn a lot of new things today during math. We learned about fractions and decimals again because that is a big deal right now. So by the time we finished learning that it was break time.
At break we ate snack and talked. Then after break we got into our science groups. In science we used our packages of dirt and leaves and pebbles to make our little mini pond. Then we got a big bucket and in it were five little bags of finely ground materials. We don’t know what they were but we had to decide whether they were living or non-living. So we did that all the way into lunch time. Mr. Steele told us that we are going to have a substitute after lunch. Her name is Mrs. Thai.
Then we went to lunch and recess. This morning it was very cold but at recess it was pretty hot out. So when we got back from lunch we did a social studies quiz. The quiz was going over what we had learned in the last chapter. Tomorrow we will start a new chapter in social studies. Then for the rest of the day we either got to work on social studies test, name art, Terabithia Essay, simile art, and social studies comic. Then it was time for jobs. So we did jobs and then did pack stack and vac. That was the end of our day!

Day 22 - Movie Time
This morning in class we came in and unpacked. We have a new student today! Her name is Alyssa. So after she got introduced to the class we went down to music. In music we practiced the Battle Hymn of the Republic. We are doing a lot of practice because we are singing that at some point for the school I believe. So then we went through our big notebook about the composers and worked on the one about Handel. He composed some music that is very popular now in some churches or even movies. We had about ten or fifteen minutes before it was time to go up to the classroom. So with that time we played some of the instruments that were out. Mrs. Frank split us up into two groups again and we played a couple songs each. Then when we got back up to the classroom we went over our new calendar math (now that it is October). Then we went over our homework from the weekend. After we finished that it was break.
At break we all ate our yummy snacks and talked a lot. Then after break Mr. Steele gave us back our essays and he had graded them but not so we could see. He didn’t tell us because we were going to grade our own writing with a rubric. So we got the rubric and looked over it and graded the way we think. By the time we were done with that it was time to go to lunch.
So after we came back from lunch we got to watch Bridge to Terabithia the movie. We got a Venn diagram to use while watching a movie. So after the movie we are going to write a four paragraph essay about what was different from the book and the movie, but we are going to do that another time. After the movie was done we went over the things we found were different and the same. Then Mr. Steele told us about simile art. We choose some similes we found and we illustrate them. We will do that after we finish the essay. So we are going to brainstorm until its job time. So at 3:20 we did jobs. Then it was 3:25 so we did pack stack and vac and went home.
