Our day began when we had band and orchestra. In orchestra we finished solos of pieces #44 and #45. The solos were very good and were done by Viet (viola), Katelyn (sorry if I misspelled that,) (violin) and Marcus (bass). After the solos orchestra practiced many other pieces such as Jingle Bells and Jolly Old St. Nicholas. Then lesson ended. In band they practiced various pieces (unknown) and got new sheet music. The music was Beethoven’s Ninth by Beethoven. ======

After band and orchestra we had the third round of the 30 time. 30 time is a special thirty minute period where different groups study and practice different subjects by doing certain activities. These subjects include social studies, math, geography, and problem solving. My group was doing problem solving skills by doing difficult logic and math games. I was doing Krazy Dad puzzles. They were very challenging. All the games were the Krazy Dad puzzles, Power football, logic story puzzles, and tile puzzles. ======

Then we had social studies. In social studies we’re learning about explorers. Right now were in our North American part. We did some research on various explorers but currently we our watching a movie about the Pilgrims. We watched a small portion every social study lesson. In today’s portion we saw the pilgrims cross the Atlantic. ======

After social studies we had math. In math we learned how to find the area of a Parallelogram. It’s basically the same as a rectangle. After that we opened letters that we got from football teams. (See past reports.) Then we had lunch yada, yada, yada, and then the afternoon was a mix of work time and recess. ======
