Hello all! Today is Tuesday, March 08, 2011. In the morning, entered the classroom and did our morning routine. At 9:05 we went down to P.E. We had more stations, and one of them was a fitness test (I don’t know the name, but it involved stretching and then sitting down and reaching as far as you could without hurting yourself). So we rotated through the stations, and at the end when everyone was done with the test, we just had fun until our teacher came and ruined all our fun. A lady from the district came by and interviewed a handful of people about the netbooks after we got them out. Then we worked on questions for an article called “Ghost Dinosaurs”, until break. When we came back, we worked on our Gimp Avatar project (The Avatars from the movie directed by James Cameron). Then we worked on our SSCBA at about 11:30 until lunch.
After recess and lunch we did math 1.4. We learned how to make a table from information in a graph. After we did math, we jumped straight into science. We did some more stuff on index fossils and layers. Then we took a break and read about the Silk Road in Social Studies. Then at 3:00, we went back to Science and we worked on some questions that went with the article “Fossil Primer” until 3:25. Then we did jobs, wrote down homework, did PSV, and left. Have a nice evening! Here’s the homework:

Day 111 - The Adventures of Oz
Morning everyone! Today is Monday, March 07, 2011. This morning, we came in and went through our morning routine, and at 9:05 we went to P.E. We weren’t in there for five minutes when we were called into the cafeteria to watch the all-school play, “The Adventures of Oz”. It was a really good play. At about 10:30, we headed back, got out the netbooks, and worked on the SS CBA. Then at 10:50, four people were selected to go move the music teacher’s piano. Then at 11:00, we had break. After break, we finished up questions on an article called “Search for Monsters”, which was about mythical creatures who have supposedly been seen by civilians. Once we finished that and we dropped it off in the drop-box, we worked on our CBA until lunch. Mr. Steele showed us how to put pictures into our essay using Microsoft Word.
When we came back, we did math. Instead of doing 1.2 like we were supposed to, we skipped that and went on to 1.3. It was about graphing. After we did that, we went back to the processing sheet for Social Studies. We worked on that until 2:50, and then we did book clubs until it was time to pack up. We did PSV, wrote down homework, and left. Have a nice evening! Here’s the homework:

Good morning America! To start of the day we did morning math and we changed math books to bits and pieces #4. The specialist today was library. In library we worked on our book report on our favorite author. Remember it is due the twenty fifth of March don’t turn it in late .Then it was time for mystery class we worked on mystery class for about five to ten minutes. I can’t wait till we find out what location we are tracking! After mystery class we used the new net books to work on our three philosophies CBA . Mr. Steele surprised us with another art lesson on the commuter. He took pictures of us and we put in backgrounds and got to mess around with it.
When we got back from lunch, we transformed and did “Chaos in the Canyon”. After that, we read the introduction for math, but was interrupted our teacher, so we did “Steps to Respect”, and went back to math after the lesson. It was about by-standers. After that, we did our math lesson. We went outside to do jumping jacks, then came in and proceeded to answer the questions. Then for about 20 minutes we did book clubs. Then we did PSV, wrote down homework, and left. Have an awesome weekend! Here’s the homework:

Day 109 - We Travel the Silk Road
Good morning Mr. Steele’s Class! Today is Thursday, March 03, 2011. We came in, unpacked, and started Word of the Day and Daily Math. We then went over that and got the netbooks out. When we got them out, we got onto a program called Gimp2. It was a program where you could do art. Tools we looked at included the paint brush, layers, and different kinds of brushes like calligraphy or big dots, and also colors. We worked on it until break. When we got back, we had our last day with our UWB buddies. Then at 11:50, we had some free time on the netbooks, and then we put them away and went out to lunch.
When we got back from lunch, we mimicked the Silk Road. We got into groups, and “traded goods” with the rest of the class. There were different obstacles that we had to pass. One of them was a mountain that we had to “climb” over, which was a desk covered in paper. There was a stretch of desert that you had to cross with your eyes closed. There was also a string that you had to crabwalk under. There was also a stretch of carpet that had pictures of lion and scorpions that you had to hop over. It was a lot of fun. Then we finished the math test we started yesterday. At around 3:10, we corrected the papers. We did jobs at 3:20. At 3:25, we wrote down homework, did PSV, and left. Have a good evening!

Day 108 - Watching Videos on our Net Books
Morning everyone! Today is Wednesday, March 02, 2011. This morning when we came in, we went through our usual routine, and at 9:05, we went down to music. When we got there, we got assigned seats for the play, “Bullies Anonymous”. Then we ran through the whole play, practicing the songs, and practicing with the microphones (they were off). We got done right on time, and at 9:45, we lined up and headed back up to the classroom to get our net books and watch a video on our net books! Two people went down to the computer lab and hi-jacked about thirteen headphones since we did not have enough. Everyone should try to bring their own pair of headphones in to use. We then hooked them up to the net books and watched a video on the Silk Road. Once we were done, we answered some questions and then took a survey on how much we liked watching the video on the net book, and what else we would like to do on them. Then we had break. After break, we worked on our SS CBA until lunch and learned how to use Microsoft Outlook to do email and calendar.
When we came back, we did the end of the unit math test on decimals. Then at 1:50 we did jobs and left. The only homework is Reading 30 minutes and Reading Record. Have a nice day!

The next station was jump roping. Then at about 9:45, we came back, got the net books out, logged them on, and started to work on our SS CBA. Then we had break. After break, we got about fifteen minutes of Type2Learn, and then started making a title page for our essay (SSCBA). We also organized our documents, and made new folders for each subject (Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts). Then we went out to lunch.
When we came back, we did an Activ Vote quiz, and then went into our regular math. Today’s lesson was 5.3. Tomorrow we have the end of the unit assessment, so review and practice tonight. Then, we got back together and did science until 3:20. We are looking at index fossils. Then we wrote down homework and PSV. Then we left. Study hard! Here’s the homework:
