October 10, 2010 Lexa Today, Tuesday October 5, 2010 a sunny, slightly overcast day, we were busy in class. First, right when we got in the classroom we did a math starter. It was double sided and the front was an enormous word search, seventy math words (have fun searching you’ll be there awhile)! The other side was a word scramble and you had to unscramble the letters so they make states. Secondly, we marched like the Von Trap children down the hall to the computer lab (minus the whistle). We spent the majority of the time working on ATRT (all the right type). If you did not print out the spelling list you had to do that first. Fortunately I was able to work the whole time on typing. I need the practice! Then we had music and had the first recital. Congratulations to Joe, Bella, Vincent and Christopher! You did a GREAT job playing the piano and singing!! It was obvious that all of you put in a great deal of effort to be prepared. After the recital, we tested out the choice day options because we had extra time. Most people went to foosball (including me because I was feeling like controlling little people). After lunch and recess we had our first Art/Tech buddie meeting. We did an activity where both classes were grouped together based on what month we were born in. We also did another enjoyable activity and it was where Ms.Moline read a question out loud about art and artists and we had to rate ourselves on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best or most awesome or most knowledge. I realized in the end after the questions were finished that I know hardly anything about art. I am confident with Ms. Moline as my teacher that I will know more about art at the end of the year than I know now. At the end of the day Ms. Moline handed out our September progress reports. I’ve never had a progress report before and this is a first for me. The progress reports strike me as a useful tool so I can see what I need to work on to improve my grades. Overall, I had a great day and I hope everyone else did to!
