Math
Today, we reviewed the homework from yesterday and two days ago. I got every problem right. Woohoo! We then practiced problems on the whiteboards. We practiced some problems like if 15 counters is 3/8 of the set, how much is the whole set? The answer is 40. We also practiced different problems. After that, we practiced volume yet again. We just worked on a couple pages in our math journal.

Today, we wrapped up our poker chip game. Only one more person had to go. He shared his job which was master of the minds. He was supposed to write down what two characters may have been thinking in that section. I thought he did an excellent job. After the game was done, we were allowed to start reading section 2. We only got to read one chapter. The rest is supposed to be homework for Monday. *sniff.*

Today, we started the 13 colonies test. We still had that “speed test” as a part of the test, and we beat the other classes, again! It was amazing. That wasn't it though. We also had some short answer questions to fill in. I got them pretty easily and finished my test. After everyone finished, we started to fill out more of our study packet. We filled out information on the founder, and the purpose of the creation of the Carolinas and much more. That was pretty easy. There was a huge fill in the blank section for why Carolina got divided into South Carolina and North Carolina. It was from some guy named John Oglethorpe who wanted certain countries away from the area.

Math
Today, we once again worked volume. We practiced it on a couple pages of our math journal. Just like before, it was base x height x width=volume. After completing those couple of pages, we continued working on the four 4's problems. I finally got 25 of them and I got to move on to the six 6's problems. I only had to do about 5 so I finished in no time. My partner and I just made random equations then saw if we could right it down. It was very easy.
Language Arts
Today, we continued working on The Board. I started on all three choices and I'm close to done. For the discussion questions, I only have around 5 or 4 left. For artful artist, I already drew the scene and I'm almost done writing my reflection. For the sheet with many topics, I just need to answer all the questions and I'm done. I almost have everything done and it's due by the end of tomorrow's school day. I can finish in time.
Social Studies
Today, we took yet another “speed test” on the 13 colonies and we got an impressive time of 1 min. and 53 sec. which beat the other two classes by a lot. We then filled out more of our study packet. We filled out the chart about city life. There were vocabulary words which were laborer and artisan. An artisan is someone who is good at making something by hand. A laborer is someone who does hard physical work. City Life and Farming Life have their differences but they both make you work.

Math
Today, we learned how to find volume. Basically, it is base x height x width =volume. If you have a triangular prism, you find the area of the base by multiplying the base times the height and dividing it by two. Then you multiply that by the width. There is the answer for a triangular prism. If you have a rectangular prism, you do the base times the height, then multiply that by the width. We completed some pages about that in our math journal. After that, we worked on the four 4's and the six 6's problems. I got a couple of the four 4's problems out of 100. It was actually VERY hard. I had to make equations that had exactly four 4's in it.
Language Arts
Today, we started “The Board.” I chose Artful Artist where you draw your favorite scene and explain why you chose it, the Discussion Questions where you answer questions about the section, and a worksheet talking about tone, foreshadowing, cliffhangers, plots, and more. I started off with the discussion questions and they were pretty easy.
Social Studies
Today, we took another “speed test” of the 13 colonies. We just had to write down the 13 colonies in the right place as fast as possible. We beat the other classes for the second day in a row. It was pretty fun. We then filled out some of our study packet on the colonies. We filled out a chart talking about what farming life would be like and what boys and girls would do in the farm. Boys usually did the hard and physical work while the girls worked on housework. We also learned what the free market economy was. The definition is: the people, not the government, decide what will be produced. We also learned that farmers grew plants, vegetables, and grains. Next, we're gonna fill out a chart about city life.

Today, we worked on the latitude and longitude lesson. Basically, the latitude is from east to west, and the longitude is from north to south. The class filled a sheet out in our journal about our location. Two students in the class handed us two small pieces of paper holding either a latitude or a longitude. My location was °110 W for latitude and °180 for longitude. My location was on water. We then put together all the kids' location (land or water) and made a fraction of who had water. Then we made that fraction into a percent and that's what we put in our estimate for how much water covers the land. We got 68% as our guess. The real answer was 71.11% which was pretty close. We were surprised at the outcome.
Language Arts
Today, I started and finished reading Section 1 of the book Hoot In the story about the boy. Roy finds three bags tied together and when he opens one, snakes surround his ankles. A boy blindfolds him and tells him to run. Soon, Roy takes off the blindfold. He notices that he is in the middle of the street and he dodges a car at the last second, falling onto the curb to see Beatris holding his bike. In the cop story, Officer Delinko sleeps during duty and when he wakes up, he notices that his windows are painted all black. Officer Delinko gets punished with desk duty for a month because of the $410 bill he received. This story is actually pretty good.
Social Studies
Today, we learned about the proprietor, the purpose and the colonists of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York and New Jersey. A proprietor is a person who owns and controls land. The proprietor of New York is James, the Duke of York. The proprietor of Pennsylvania is William Penn, and the proprietor of New Jersey is James Berkely. There was another founder of New Jersey. For purpose, we just had to list why the proprietor wanted to start the colony. For colonists, we just needed to write what the colonists were allowed to do. It was pretty easy.

Today, we learned how to use the rectangle method. If you are trying to find the area of a triangle or a parallelogram, you can see if you can cut off a part of the shape and move it somewhere else to make a rectangle. If you make a rectangle, you can find the area much more easily. This method gets tricky at times but usually it is easy with the parallelogram. I have trouble with some of the triangles. I can't quite figure out where to split the shape.
Language Arts
Today, we started working on “The Board.” We chose three activities and we had 20 minutes to complete each. I chose Word Study, Artful Artist, and Story Outline. So far, I only did the Story Outline. In the Story Outline, you had to list the settings, the main idea, the characters, and three supporting events. Then, on the back, you had to describe a setting, write down a moral learned by a character, write down the conflicts, and list some reflections. Then you got to draw your favorite scene. I liked doing the story outline.
Social Studies
Today, we started working on the thirteen colonies. First, we had to fill in a map that showed the colonies. An important thing we had to do was change the borders because they were different before they became states. It was easy. Next, we had to present the different types of colonies. My group had to do the South Colonies. They were called the south colonies because they were at the bottom of the others. The climate was pretty good. Most days were sunny. The soil was rich and good for farming. A natural resource they used were the waterways. They used those for transportation. Also, the teacher said she was entering my poster into the Earth Day poster contest. I'm excited.

Math
Today, we worked on finding the area of figures. It is basically Base (length) times Height (width). If a shape is 6 feet high and 7 feet wide, the area is 42 square feet. That's because 7x6=42. If you have a shape that has more sides than a rectangle, you can divide the shape into rectangles and find the are of those. Then, you add up the area of each. To practice the lesson, we had to complete three pages on area finding. It was easy to complete them and we got to work on the math boxes. We also reviewed on the whiteboards changing fractions into decimals and percents. That was easy as well.
Language Arts
Today, we started working on our Pen Pal letter. I got through the first paragraph about myself. In it, I included my name, my hobby, my favorite sport, some sentences about my family, and the elementary school I attended. My hobby is surfing the web, my favorite sport is basketball, I have two sisters, and I attended Caley. It was easy to make that one. I started on the second paragraph. I got some done. It needs to mention the different classes we take and the Unified Arts we have. Basically, it's all about the middle school. I'm excited to meet my pen pal. He or she is coming in a couple of weeks.

Today, we took our Unit 9 quiz. Our quiz was different. There were nine questions. Some were multiple choice questions and others were matching questions. When you finished answering them, you got a different sheet, the teacher reviewed the answers, and you marked if you were right or wrong on the sheet. It was easy. I got a 9 out of 9 or a 100%. It was pretty easy. After that, we played the point guessing game again. I won both rounds and my opponent was nowhere close with his guesses. I kept picking hard ordered pairs like 0, 0 and 10, 10. The simplest pairs are actually the hardest to guess for some reason.
Language Arts
Today, we visited the library to work on our worksheets again. There were questions about a deadly snake named the Cottonmouth Water Moccasin Snake. Did you know it's the only poisonous water snake in North America? We also had a section where we had to find the definition of certain words. The next section was about certain clubs that help animals and the environment. I chose the Environmental Kids Club. There was a question asking me to list words or phrases that I thought were important. I chose Planet Protector because it means that you protect the planet from harm. I also chose “Acid rain affects everyone, but we can all make a difference.” That's as far as I got so far.
Science
Today, we took our quiz on resources and pollutions. There was a section on vocabulary words where we had to match each definition to its word. Next, there were multiple choice questions. Then there were short answer questions. After that, the test was done. It was easy. When you finished the test, you had to take a Time For Kids Magazine and read a section called Lights Out. It was about something called Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a certain hour of a day where all non-necessity lights are turned off to help save energy. The only lights they keep on are streetlights, runway lights and lights like that. Earth Hour seems like a cool idea to me. I think Earth Hour should happen more often.

Today, we practiced plotting points on a grid. They gave us a column of “original ordered pairs” to plot the “original sailboat. Then on the next column, we had to make a change to the “original ordered pairs” and then plot those points. We had three columns for changes and each had a different change. We then had a total of four ships on the grid. We then had to find each type of movement from the original to one of the changed ones. We got for a slide for original to change 1, a flip for original to change 2, and a half turn for original to change 3. It was pretty easy.
Language Arts
Today, we filled out a paper on the story events in section 1 or chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the book Hoot. Our first event was that Dana shoved Roy into the window and Roy saw the mysterious running boy. Our next one was Officer Delinko visited a scene and investigated it. The next one was that Roy saw the running boy again and started chasing him. The next one was that Officer Delinko finds alligators in the port-o-potty at the crime scene. The next and last one was that Roy was yelled at by Beatris for bumping into her. It was easy but the whole class wanted one more space to use. Five didn't seem like enough.

Today, we watched the entire class present their Environmental Awareness Poster except for one student. We also had to keep a list of kids who we thought deserved to be entered into the Earth Day poster contest. There were a few that just had to go into the contest. When i presented, I was so nervous but it ended up okay. I think they liked it. All of the students' posters had cool facts and great designs to it. One person even used recycled paper! There were a lot of choices to put on my list and I wish I could have made it longer. There were just so many fascinating posters. After all the presenters were done, class was nearly over. I'm curious to see who will enter the contest and if any of us wins.

Today, we practiced plotting points on a grid. If you have the ordered pair of (6,2), you would move over on the x-axis 6 spaces, then you would go up the y-axis 2 spaces. When you find the spot, make a dot or “point.” We completed a couple pages in our math journal about this. One of them had a list of ordered pairs, and we had to plot them to find out the shape. It was actually a sailboat. We had to make three more with changes in the original ordered pairs. One was wider, one was taller, and one increased by both. It was pretty fun.
Language Arts
Today, we read chapter 1 of Hoot in class. It is about a boy named Roy who is being shoved by a boy named Dana. While his face was smushed on the window, he saw a boy running to an unknown place. Roy got highly curious about what he was doing. At school, he tried to find him but couldn't. Later in the day, we finished the rest of the section. I thought that from the looks of chapter 1, it was a pretty good book. Already, there is tense mystery, which I love. I'm always wanting a fast paced book.
Science
Today, we got to do a lab. The way we did it was that we had a cup of water. We dumped soil into that water and stirred it in. Then, in a cup with nothing in it, we put on a funnel, and then we chose two of any cleaners. You then poured the water through the funnel. After that, take out the funnel, and look at the water. Then you do the same on a separate cup of water and this time, you keep one of your cleaners the same and the other different. My group did charcoal and cotton bolls, then charcoal and a coffee filter. Turns out, cotton balls and charcoal made the water look very clean compared to our other one which was kind of foggy. I liked the lab and I wonder what the reaction will be for the kids that are running.

Today, I had a short math class because I needed to make up my last day of PSSA testing. When I came, we played a game where one player marked a point on a grid in red and and then the other player guesses the mark's location. The first player then marks the guess on the same grid and tells the opponent how off he/she was. The other player then marks their guess on grid 2 and writes down how far off it was. Then, the process is repeated, but the players switch jobs. In my game, I was way off with my guesses, and on the other hand, my partner actually guessed my point. I think we're playing this game again some time because today, we only had like 5 minutes to try it out.
Language Arts
Today, we had a lot of students share their Show & Tell Project. Basically, what you do is you roll a die, and whatever number you get, that's how many questions the class can ask you. After rolling, you read two truths and a lie about your object. Then you pick on people to ask questions. Then a person puts their hand in and tries to feel what the object is. The person describes it then lets students ask questions. After the questions, the person guesses what the object is, then pulls it out. If they don't get it, you get extra credit, but if they do get it, you don't get extra credit. Mine was money and people got mine pretty easy. I didn't mind though.
Science
Today, we filled out more of our new lesson packet. We filled out fill in the blank sections of conserving and a resource called soil. We also filled out a big chart about different types of conservation. The teacher assigned each group a different type of conservation. We got Terracing. It is pretty simple.
1)Soil is grown into a staircase kind of look that goes up a hill.
2)Plants are grown on the soil.
The Result: Soil is protected from water taking it downhill.
When we finished the chart, we had to stop. Next time, all we have to do is the bunch of inquiry questions.
