Today is Monday April 28, 2008. We had an interesting day and we accomplished many things!

In period one, we had ELA. All of the class took a survey on their learning experiences at school, and how the teachers can make it even better. The survey had sixteen questions, with the choices: “agree,” “disagree,” and “no opinion.” Also, there was a small comment box. We tried to avoid answering with “no opinion,” because we wanted thoughtful answers.

We had science in the second period. At that point, we worked on our Virtual Science Fair (VSF). VSF was a project on the computer where we picked a topic and researched it. Then, we converted it into a web page which was submitted to the VSF web site. Working on our Virtual Science Fair projects is lots of fun, and we learn a lot of new things about computers!

After we went outside for recess, we had math in period three. We did Daily Math #9 Thursday, and then we corrected it. Some of those question ...

During period 5, we reviewed how to find the area of irregular shapes and recorded it in our grid books. For period 8, the class did a final review on finding the area of irregular shapes. We also made our own irregular shapes for the class to solve. Irregular shapes were definitely the highlight of math today!!
