This morning in class we came into class and unpacked our things. Now that we are back from the weekend we had to go to specialists. We had PE today and we played regulation hockey. We played about 5 games and had a lot of fun playing it. When it was 9:45, we lined up and headed back to class. At about 10:00, we went down to the computer lab. Mr. Steele had been designing a math test for us. So we went down to test it. At 11:30, we had a five minute break to stretch our legs, and eat our snacks. After that, instead of doing science, because of time, we worked on color poems until lunch. When we came back from lunch, we had a social studies test on Qin Shihuangdi and the Qin dynasty. When we got done with that, we had to work on, #1 Amelia Earhart, #2 Color poems, and #3 Posters of Qin Shihuangdi (Wanted or Reward). At the end of the day we did book clubs. We packed, stacked, and vacuumed, and wrote down homework. That was our Monday.

Day 83 - Teracotta Wariors
This morning in class, we came in and unpacked all of our things onto our desk. We worked on today’s calendar math until we had to head down to music. Today in music we worked on the song for our graduation day. We had a lot to work on today. Once we had finished singing a little of the song we looked over the bully play. We listened to some of the songs we will be singing in that play. We also looked over the lines for certain bullies and teachers. So we will continue working on what parts everyone will do. Then it was time to go back to our class. When we got back Mr. Nash taught us the daily math. So we got to be with our appointment wheels. Then it was time to go to break.
After break was over we all finished up some of the math and then we did some science. We looked at some things about how certain rocks are in certain places. Then we got into our “Chaos in the Canyon” group. We talked about what we have and what we still need to get. Then the bell rang for lunch recess.
When we got back from lunch we went to social studies. We watched a video on Qin Shihuangdi. We had to take 5 notes on things that were interesting. We weren’t able to finish the video today because today is 2:00 dismissal. Then it was time to pack stack and vac. That was our day!

Day 82 - Catch up
We are back from the weekend now! This morning was cold and rainy but still nice in a way. Today we came in and did our calendar math. At 9:04 it was time to line up and go to PE. Today in PE we played regulation hockey. We had two teams and the main idea of the game was to make a goal. We had to stay in our certain lanes. It was fun because we had a lot of movement and action. Once it was time to go back to our class we lined up on our assigned number and walked up. So once again we started some of our daily math. Then at 10:50 the principal, vice principal, and the counselor from Finn Hill Junior high came to give us a presentation. They told us all about different things in the NEW school. They also answered questions and concerns. We learned a lot about the school almost everyone will go to and now some people are not as scared as they were at first. So a lot of people are excited to go to middle school next year. Since they came almost at our break time, we didn’t have break and the presentation ran all the way to our lunch time.
We all went to lunch and then came back at 1:05. Today we had a catch-up day. Mr. Steele printed out all the assignments everyone was missing and we just worked on whatever we needed to get turned in. We worked onto it until it was time to go home today.

Day 81 - Team work
Today was a very rainy and wet Friday. We walked into class, our feet and hair very wet. Everyone grabbed their chairs from the stacked chair pile and went to their desk. We all started our daily math and then at 9:04 we went to the computer lab. In computer lab we did some more work on our “Chaos in the Canyon” project. We got into groups and then we all got into a row of computers and got our shop on!!! Most people went online and looked at the websites like, REI, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target, and Cabela’s. Everyone worked very well together and cooperated together too. So everyone shopped around and found some good supplies for their team. At 9:50 we lined up and headed back to our classroom for math. We finished up the calendar math and then we got a math test to do. It was the summative for the “How likely is it?” We worked on the test up until break time.
At 11:00 we opened the wall and saw all of our friends. We had a birthday today and they had brought cupcakes for everyone. We ate the cupcakes once break was over. So once the wall was closed and we were sitting, two people passed out the cupcakes. They were really, really yummy!!! We continued to work on our math test, or at least the people who weren’t already done. Once everyone finished the test we went over it and corrected it. Mr. Steele wanted us to know why we had Monday off, so we watched a video on Martin Luther King. We didn’t have enough time to watch the whole thing before lunch so we stopped at certain point.
For recess today, we played our game for Friday. We didn’t play anything different because everyone liked the game from last time. So everyone had a good time playing the game and had really good team work. After the bell rang for lunch we all went to eat. Once lunch was over we went back to our classroom. When we got back we talked about how the game went and things we could do to change it or make it more fun. Then we finished the video. When the video was over we talked about a lot of things that relate to that. Then we got a writing assignment that related to the video almost. The prompt was:
If you could change one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be? Write a multiple paragraph letter to your teacher explain what you would change and why.
Everyone got started on the essay right away because we want to get as much done as possible. We worked on the essay until it was time to do jobs. So this was the end of our Friday.

Day 80 - Chaos in the Canyon
This morning in class we came in and unpacked our things. We did calendar math and then we did our daily math. Today we got lottery tickets to scratch. If u got a matching number you won money. You would win however much you matched. When it was about 9:20 we went down to an assembly for Martin Luther King Junior. The third graders sang a few songs about him, and then we watched some of his “I have a dream” speech. When the assembly was over, we came back to the classroom and worked on math. We got into groups of people that had the same lottery ticket as ourselves. We made a big tree with all of our outcomes. Then we had break.
After break we had college buddies. College buddies are men and women that come from the University of Bothell. Everyone was paired up with a buddy and today we got to know them. We also showed them our color poems that we have been working on. They gave us advice on some things to do in the poem. Then at 11:40 they left. We then moved on to our Chaos in the Canyon project. We got into our groups for that and started planning our supplies for our “trip” Then it was time to go to lunch.
After we came back from lunch we did social studies. We read a section from our book and then did the paper for it. After that we did our act it out mini play. So each group took turns going and getting interviewed by reporters. After that we did book clubs. At book clubs we read as much of our book as we could and then we did our jobs. After that we read out of our science book about Powell. Then we did pack stack and vac and went home.
