This morning in class we came in and unpacked. We had music class today. In music we practiced all of our Christmas songs. Then Mrs. Frank told us that we are going to do a small musical. We normally don’t do one in 6th grade but this one is about bullying. So we will start it in about May. Then when we got back to the classroom we worked on math. We went over our math assessment that we did. Then we did some more daily math all the way until break time.
Once break was here we had snack. We are still having break alone. Then break was over and we went back to our seats. We worked on the same math paper until it was time to go to lunch.
When we got back from lunch we did science. In science we looked at the bacteria we have had growing. Then we moved onto our science notes again. We worked on the science notes until it was time to go and do jobs. We did jobs and then it was time to pack up and go home.

Day 68 - How Likely Is It?
This morning we came in and unpacked our things. We got to work right away on calendar math. Then at 9:04 we went down to PE. In PE we played a game and I don’t of different colored hula hoop in front of each team. Then there were 3 hoops in the middle of the gym with 6 beanbags in each. In each group there were about 4 or 5 people. So once the PE teacher says go, we run to get the bean bag and put it in our hoop. Then we would tag the next person and they would go get a bean bag and you had to try to get as many bags as you could. Then we mixed up the rules and added many different tricks. Then it was 9:50 so we went back to the classroom. When we got back we worked on math. We are moving onto a new bits and pieces. It is called “How likely is it?” So we worked on one problem all the way until break.
We had break. Then we did the same math problem all the way until lunch time.
When we got back from lunch we did science. In science we kept writing down some notes for our test that we may do tomorrow or on Thursday. Then we moved onto social studies. In social studies we did work on Daoism. We had to be peaceful and quiet. We could do anything and sit with our partners. We went through and read the section on Daoism and then filled out the questions for them. Then Mr. Steele pulled names of people and if you were called, you would answer whatever question he asked you. Then we did Houghton Mifflin. We read a really long story about Amelia Earhart. Then it was time to do jobs. After jobs we did pack stack and vac and then we went home.

Day67 - Substitute
Today we came unpacked and lined up to go to P.E at 9:05. At 9:50 we came back did our test and we got right to work most of us finished before break but we still had to be quite for the ones that were still working and that was ok because it was quite reading time and everyone liked it or I think they did. And we worked until 11:00 break time. But today during the break we couldn’t open the wall today because it was too rough during break time. After break time we saw a science video on bacteria and we saw it until lunch time at 12:10. Then when we came back we did social studies and we watch two videos on china. The video would tell us how there life was like. Then we did writing on the three of the topic we worked on over the week end and choose one of them and put it into a paragraph. Then we packed up and went home!!!

Day 66 - Confucianism
This morning was a cloudy but nice, in a way morning. So we came into class and we had no daily shape or conversion. We had another one of the math tests. They are technically almost like the MSP but not as crucial. So Mr. Steele went over some things and then we had library at 9:14 so we had to go. When we got to library we did another scavenger hunt on the “World book online” Then when we finished we got about 15 minutes of checkout. Then we went back up to the classroom. When we got back to the classroom we did the test again. We did it all the way up until break time.
When we started break some boys got into rough housing so we have to stop break for a while. So for a while, I don’t know when, but we will not have break. We worked on the math test for about 45 minutes more. Then we did science. In science we worked on our graphing again. We only had about 10-20 minutes to work on that. So when it was time to go to lunch, we did.
When lunch was over we came back in to our classroom. We started on social studies. We got into 4 different groups and formed our desks into circles. Then one desk was set in the middle. The “elders” would sit in the middle on top of their desk. They would tell us certain things to do. They weren’t bossy though. Then we studied up on questions. Then Mr. Steele assigned everyone in the group to a question. Then he would ask all the questions. So as he asked questions, we answered them. If you answered them right, then you get $20. Then we did some reading out of Houghton Mifflin. Then it was time to do planner and then do jobs. Then we went home for the weekend. Have a nice weekend.

Day 65 - Math Assessment #1
This morning was a drizzly morning! We came in today and unpacked our backpack and everything else. Today was the day we did the first math assessment. Today we had no specialists. We also had no daily problem or daily shape. We would have gone to the computer lab but the math assessment was really long so we didn’t have time for computer class. The math assessment took up all the time until it was break time. We corrected the test before break and we got to correct it ourselves, but Mr. Steele still helped us.
So we had snack and took a break from the test. Then we continued to work on the assessment. We worked for about 20 more minutes and then started on science. In science we talked about how each colony of bacteria has about 1 million cells in them. Then in our science notebook it had a page that we were going have to make 1 million dots. In two minutes most people made about 250-300 dots. When we combined them all together we had about 8,000 dots. We figured out that it would take about 4 hours to get to one million dots without stopping. Then it was time to go to lunch.
When we got back from lunch we did social studies. In social studies we did some reading and some work on a page in our binders. Then we did some Houghton Mifflin. In our reading book we read more poems. Then we did some haiku poems. We did one on the topic of Christmas and holidays, and then one was a mystery. Everyone had to try to guess the topic of your haiku. Then we did some MSP reading review. Then it was time for pack stack and vac. That was the end of our day.

Day 64 - End of the Shang Dynasty
This morning in class, we came in and unpacked our stuff. We started our daily calendar math and got situated for today. Then at 9:04 we went down to music class. When we got to music class our reading books on composers were on our spots. We read more on a new composer today and then watched a video on a song from that composer. Our composer today was Schubert. So we did the reading and then did the question sheet. After that we sang about 10 Christmas songs from the little green song books. Then it was time for us to go back to our classroom. When we got back we did daily math. We worked on that up until it was time to go to break.
When break was over we continued working on the math for about another half an hour. Then we moved onto science. Today we finished watching the video from yesterday. The video finished right at lunch time so we went out to lunch next.
When we got back from lunch, we did social studies. We had to do a test for the end of the unit. Since today was Wednesday we didn’t do anything except the test. Then at 2:00 we went home.

Day 63 - The Unknown World
This morning in class we came in and unpacked our binders and reading books. Then we started calendar math. At 9:04 it was time to go down to PE. In PE we played a game called pin knock down. How you play pin knock down is you set up all the bowling pins around the gym. Then one person goes to each pin. Then everyone who didn’t get to a pin lined up. There were bean bags everywhere and people grabbed them. Then the game started. Everyone had to protect their own pin while trying to knock down others pins. When the game first began, it was really slow. But then at some point it got really fast and then the boys all formed an alliance and were knocking girl’s pins down really easily. Everyone had so much fun! But then the fun was over and it was time to go back to our classroom. When we got back Mr. Steele told us we will be doing a lot of review on math. We had a lot to do because of certain tests that are coming up. The test will be finding out what we have learned from the Bits and pieces 1 and 2. It is not the MSP though. After we went over some things it was time for break.
At break we had snack and then did a lot of talking with our friends. Then we moved onto science. In science we took another look at our bacteria. Some people bacteria grew more compared to yesterday. Then we wrote down our observations. Then we watched a video about different organisms and things that are places we would never guess. Then it was time to go to lunch.
When we got back from lunch we did social studies. We got to talk to our neighbors while we did some social studies art. Then we did some Houghton Mifflin reading. We read some poems about friendship. Some were happy and some were sad. Others were just sort of both. Then we filled out and worked on a paper about the poems. We worked on that until it was time for jobs. We did jobs and then pack stack and vac. Then we went home for the day.
