Outdoor Ed

Today in Outdoor Ed we did a boot and shoe race. A boot and shoe race is when you take off your shoes and put them in a pile. Then you go to the starting line and run to the pile of shoes. Once you put on your shoes you run back to where you started. The first person back wins.

Track and field

yesterday we had track and field. some events you could go in were 60 meter race 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1500 meter races. long jump, high jump, triple jump. then if you get the best time or second best time, you get to go to divisionals in elkhorn.

Yesterday in social studies we started a project on countries that are poor. we have to find out some stuff about them like where is the country located and some interesting facts about it.

Translations

In math we are learning about translations. A translation is where you have plotted a triangle on a coordinate plane, and then after you plot that the translation may say (3,-2) and you would move the dots on the triangle to the right three, and down two.

Science

In science we learned about mountains yesterday. There are two different types of mountains an Old Mountain and a Young Mountain. How you can tell them apart is that an Young Mountain has rough jagged point at the top. While Old Mountains have a smooth top on itself.

Social Studies

Today In Social I worked on a sheet about Dubai Polities and History. Dubai is in the Middle East. Did you know Dubai has one of the best justice systems in the Middle East. If there was to be a natural disaster in Dubai, Dubai would be able to re-build its self faster than any other country in the Middle East. This is because Dubai is one of the most healthiest countries in the Middle East.

Translations

In math we are learning translations. On a coordinate plain if the translation is (-5, 8) then you move your dot five places to the left and eight places up.

Math

In math we are learning about translations. Translations are done on a coordinate plane. A coordinate plane is a vertical line and a horizontal line that are intersected at zero. The lines have negative and positive numbers. When you translate something it doesn't change it stays the same shape, size and figure. You just move it from left to right and up or down. Here are some examples:

This is how a translation is written as a question:

A(3,4) , B(1,1) , C(4,1)

Translation (-4,-2)

Here are four examples of translations in real life:

Washing windows, puck sliding on the ice, the belt on a treadmill, and a Frisbee gliding in the air.

Track and Field

Yesterday our school did Track and Field. One of the events I participated in was shot-put. this event is played by putting a metal/iron ball by your chin and pushing it forward into the air and trying to get the farthest measurement out of your competitors. Do NOT through it like a baseball because you can brake your wrist, and that is not good.

Mountains

Today in science we learned about mountains. You know if a mountain is old or young by the shape. young mountains are jagged at the top. old mountains are rounded at the top.

Did you know:
Some of the highest mountains are at the bottom of the sea.
Hawaii is at the top of a volcanic mountain in the Pacific Ocean.
More than half the mountain is below water.
The largest range of mountains is in the Atlantic Ocean.

Layers of the Earth

Today in science we learned about the different layers of the Earth. We had to put them in order and say if they were a solid, liquid, or gas. I learned that the core of the Earth is actually a solid and that the upper mantle just below the Earth's crust is liquid like taffy.

Mountains

Today in science we learned about mountains. There are 2 types of mountains.
1. Young mountains. They have jagged tops. They are newer and are still growing.
2. Old mountains. They have rounded tops due to erosion. They have been around for hundreds of years.

In Drama we are doing puppet plays. The story is about this two knights named Sir Lancelot and Sir Devanelot. One cold December day Sir Lancelot got sick from food poising. Off they went to see Dr. James. There is also a dragon in the story. The story takes place in a castle far far away in Green bay Ohio.

math

today in math we had to do a sheet on translations. We had to make 4 quadrants and then plot the  figure and then make the translation. You take the original figure to whatever the translations says. Like Translation (-2, 2), and move it to the left or right.

Science

In science we wrote notes on volcanos.Did you know there are 3 types of volcanos.Composite Volcano,Shield Vocano and an Ash and Cinder Cone.

Composite Volcano-The eruption can be so violent.Rock is melted into magma.Pressure builds until the volcano erupts.Ex:MT.ST Helens U.S.A.

Shield Volcano-Is the largest of the 3 types.It is shaped like a shield that is lying face up on the ground with gentle shapes.It is constantly erupting,sending out lava most of the time.But not violently.ex:Mouna Lou,Hawaii

Ash and Cinder Cone-Is the smallest type.It is gently sloping sides and a large bowl -shaped crater.Usually less than 300 m in height.Ex:Paricutin,Mexico

Math

Today in math we learned how to do translation. In the booklet there was question like this.


first draw each triangle on the grid.
then draw the translation image.
x(1,1),y(5,1),z(4,3)

translation (2,4)

tomorrow is a fun day. We are going to VCI and there will be high jump and triple jump there is a canteen

today in math we did a booklet about how to translate designs on a cordinate plane.
if the cordinates are (-1,4) you would have to move each point 1 unit left and 4 units up.

science

yesterday in science we were giving a map of the world. we had to post where earthquakes happened. we got the information from our text book. did you know that most earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the northern hemisphere?

A shield volcano is the largest of the three types of volcanoes. It's shaped like a shield that is lying face up on the ground with gentle slopes, it is constantly erupting.

Yesterday in math we got our tests back. We had to correct the whole thing. one of the questions were what are 3 thing that you can measure length with, i put ruler meeter stick and a trundle wheel.

volcanos

composite volcano- the eruption can be violent. pressure builds and then the volcano erupts.
ex: mount st helens

ash and cinder cone- is the smallest type of volcano. it is less then 33 meters tall. it has a big bowl shaped crater.
ex: paricutin


shield volcano- is the largest of the three volcanos. it is shaped like a sheild lying face up on the ground.

Short Stories

In Short Stories we are learning how to write a short story. You have steps to follow though.
1.You have to do a Topic T-Chart, you pick ten topics that you hate and like.
2.A what-why-how chart, where you have have 4points and write a how about them.
3.And Idea and detail chart, where you pick one of the 4points and do 4details about them.
4.Then after your done all those you have to do a Draw-Label-Caption.
Then your ready to write your short story, remember it has to be a story that a mother would read her kid before bed.

Writing a Short Story

In ELA we are learning how to write a short story. To write a short story you first have to pick a topic. To help you pick one make a T-chart of what you like and what you hate. Then you make a what-why-how table. You say something about your topic and put that as the what, then you decide how many pages you want in you story (Ex. 4) and say four comments describing why you said that about your topic. Then you explain thy whys more. (Ex. how did the watch disappear? what did she use for legs?)

science

yesterday in science we are plotting down earthquakes on a map. Did you know that there are lots of earthquakes every day that we do not know about. we do not know about them because no one has died.

Science

In Science we have just started a new chapter, Volcanoes and Earthquakes. In this chapter a few classes back I learned that every day there is one or more earthquake happening. I think the reason we do not realize it is because no one dies.

Math Test

Today we had a math test on measurement. Some things that were covered were circumference, angles, and triangles.

To find the circumference of a circle, multiply the diameter ( the distance across the middle of the circle) by pi (3.14).

To find the area of a circle, multiply pi by the radius ( the distance from the middle of the circle to the edge) squared.

In Enrichment this session I am taking Golf. We go to the Virden course every day five

Yesterday in Science we learned about volcanoes and earthquakes. Did you know that must volcanoes and earthquakes mostly happen in 30 degrees latitude!

Writing a 5 paragraph essay

In ela we were learning how to write a five paragraph essay. To write one you have to make a t chart with things you like to do and things you have to do.Then you have to pick a topic from your t chart and make a web with 5 things about the topic.Then you have to write an outline. A outline is when you write 5 paragraphs. In those paragraphs you have to have a topic sentence and 2 other supporting sentences.Then you write your paragraph And just copy your outline but add more details.

how to write a 5 paragraph eassy.

In ela we are learning how to write a five paragraph essay. the first step is to make a t chart with the things you like and hate. Then you pick one thing from one of the hate or the like side. then you do a web and put ideas that that mean. Say an example is cats i would make a web and say something about cats. so an example of that would be they like the sun.

math

In the math review we learned to find the missing angle. You add up the 2 angles you know and subtract from 180 to find the missing angle.

Writing a Short Story

Today in ELA we learned the first few steps to writing a short story. The first step we learned was to think of ideas using a t-chart. Next we picked one idea and made a What Why How Chart. To do this you think of something about your topic then write four reasons why. The last step was the how. This is explaining the reasons in the why.

Gym

In gym today we had our fitness run. In our fitness run what we do is we run as many laps as we can in a certain amount of time. Usually we run in the gym but today we ran outside in the back of the school grounds. We ran for twelve minutes and we tried to do as many laps as we could around the school ground.

Triangles

Today in math we did a sheet on angles of the interior of a triangle. Some things that we learned were:

• The sum of the angles must add up to 180 degrees .


• An equilateral triangle must have 60 degrees for all the angles. Because the sides are equal, the angles must be equal.

Track and Field

track and field is almost here. in track and field you have to pick events, such as: 60 meter sprint, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, and 1500 meter. you can also do stuff that is not running, you can do stuff like long jump, high jump, and triple jump.

Gym

In gym we are practicing for our track and field which is on May 25. Some of the events are running long jump, high jump, triple jump, discus, shot put, and then the races 60, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1500 meter races. If you are in long jump all you need to do is run as fast as you can and jump as far as you can at the line to jump, when you jump you jump with to feet. In the 60 meter race all you do is run as fast as you can for 60 meters because it is a very fast race.

In Math today we learned the degree of a triangle. All three degrees hath to equal 180 degrees. If its an equilateral triangle all three side equal 60 degrees. If its an Isosceles triangle two sides are the same. If its an scalene triangle none of the sides are the same.

Grammar

Today in grammar we learned how to write a five paragraph in little time.You have to pick a topic . Then make a web and say one word things about your topic. Your one word is then what you talk about in your paragraph. Tomorrow we are going to write our paragraph.

today in E.L.A class we learned how to make a 5 paragraph essay very easy. first thing you do is make a web then you make 5 paragraph starters.

Map of Southeastern Asia

Today in Social Studies we made a map of Southeastern Asia. I learned the Indonesia is made up of many islands and that part of Malaysia is on mainland Asia and part is on an island.

making a 5 paragraph essay the easy way

to make an easy 5 paragraph essay you have to make a we have to make a web with your main topic in the middle and then come up with 5 different things about that topic. the next thing you have to do is wright down 1 of the words on the web and do a few sentences on that thing and then you have 1 paragraph, do that with every word in the web

Math

Today In math we corrected math. equilateral, scalene and isosceles triangle.An equalateral triangle has three sides of even length.A scalene triangle has three side of equal length An isoceles triangle has two sides the same length.

Triangles

In math we learned about equalatural, scalene and isoceles triangles. An equalateral triangle has three sides even lengthed, a scalene triangle has no sides equal lengthed and an isoceles triangle has two sides the same length.

el.a.

in the book we are reading, Underground to canada, in the underhground railway, freight means runnaway slaves, dry goods means the woman runnaway slaves, and the hardware means the men runaway slaves.

bolivia in a shoe box

in s.s. we have to get a soebox and put 5 things that are important to the culture of bolivia and give a decent explenation why it is important and why.

Undergorund To Canada

Toady in novel we finished our book called Underground To Canada. The book was about slavery. There was a girl named Julilly and she had a mom named Mammy Sally. Julilly and her mom (Mammy Sally) got separated and Julilly went to a different plantation and Mammy Sally went to another plantation. They were trying to make it to Canada when Lester and Adam ( friends of Julillys and her moms) got caught by the slave catchers.They then escaped but once Adam and Lester made it Canada Adam died.

Math

In Math class we did a sheet of paper called Classifying Triangles. Each triangle has sides. There are different kinds of sides and names for them:

Scalene-has no equal sides

Isosceles- has two sides that are equal

Equilateral-all sides are are equal

ALEC

classifying triangles

Today in math we learned about triangles. You classify triangles by the lengths of their sides.

Equilateral triangle = has three sides of the same length.
Scalene triangle = has no sides of the same length.
Isosceles triangle = has two sides of the same length.

You classify triangles by the measures of their angles.

Acute triangle = has three acute angles ( less then 90 degrees).
Right triangle = has one right angle (90 degrees).
Obtuse triangle = has one abuse angle ( more than 90 degrees).

Triangles

Today in math, we learned about triangles. You can describe triangles by the angles or the length of the sides. The different types of triangles are:

Right- has one right angle
Obtuse- has one obtuse angle
Acute- all the angles are acute
Scalene- the sides are all different lengths
Isosceles- two of the sides are the same length
Equilateral- all the sides are the same length

Math

In math today we learned about eguilateral, isoselous, and scalene triangles. An equilateral triangle is a traingle that has 3 equal sides. An isoselous triangle is a triangle with 2 equal sides and an opposite side. An scalene triangle has 3 different sides, none of them are the same.

Examples:

1. If a triangle has sides that are all 9cm. It is a equilateral triangle because all the sides are the same.

2. If you have a triangle with a side that is 3cm, 5cm and 7cm. It is an scalene triangle because none of the sides are the same.

3. If you have a triangle with sides that are 4cm, 4cm, and 2cm. It is a isoselous triangle because 2 of the sides are the same and one of them is different.

math

today in math we arenaming triangles.

Quadrilateral: all the same size.
Scalene: all different sides.
Isosceles: 2 sides are the same.

math

In math we learned how to name triangles. Some of the name is
Scales triangle =Has no sides of equal length.
Isosceles= has two sides of equal length.

underground to canada

we finished the underground to canada boook i really liked it i liked that julilly and liza got meet with mamma saly and lester again

Social Skills

Today in Social Skills we are going on a trip we do not know where we are going but we are surely going on a trip

Today in math we stated to classify angles. For example an scalene angle is a triangle that has no sides the equal length, an isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and an equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length.

Science

Today in Science we learned about soil.It depends were you live but if you live were sand is your soil is usually always dry because the sand particles are large and the water goes right through the sand.. If you live where clay is your soil then if you get to much rain your soil will have water on top of it because the clay was small particles that make the water stay in the clay soil and not come out.If you live where your soil it just right then you are lucky because the paticles are just the right size.

Math

In math yesterday we were working on how to measure angles without using a protractor.These are some of the angles.

Alternate Angles-are always equal.

Corresponding Angles-are always equal too. One is the inside and one is outside of the transversal line.

Co-interior Angles-equal 180 degrees.Both both outside the parallel lines inside the transversal.

Co-exterior Angles-equal 180 degrees.Both outside the parallel lines inside the transversal.

Math

Today in math we did a sheet on how to find the measurements of angles without measuring them with a protractor. To do this we know that alternate angles are equal, corresponding angles are equal, and that co-interior and co-exterior angles are supplementary. Supplementary means that if you put two or more angles together they equal 180 degrees.
