Adolescent issues

When you were in lower school, what was soemthing that you were excited about for fifth grade? How do you feel about it now that you’ve done it?
What was something about fifth grade that you were a little nervous or worried about? How do you feel about it now?
What is something about which you are still a little nervous or worried? What might you do to feel a little less nervous or worried?
What is something that you haven’t done yet in middle school about which you are excited? What are you excited about it?”

I was excited for seat sacks instead of desks and to have advisors. I like middle school a lot better. I was scared the 6th graders were going to pick on me. Well they are actually kind of nice to us now. We see them more. I am scared for parent teacher conferences but I am also excited. I am excited to share in front of my parents. feel2

Math graph

Okay. So I chose my graph to look like this because it goes up and up each year. Some jumps are bigger than others. I had to change my graph many times. But I thoughtt this is what it should look like. Some people think there will be drops but there won’t be. The times when we lost people did not make a change int the population.

This is my graph

Atom

Screen Shot 2014-10-14 at 1.11.02 PMI think and atom is a small ball of energy that travels very fast. It is so fast that no one can see it. I was inaccurate because There can be more rings. I feel that you cannot really be wrong because there are so many different types of atoms.  Some have 1 ring all the way to 50 rings. Even more!

Chronological order. By Emma Hirsch

This post is about what we did in social studies on friday.

We got into groups and and we got a pile of index card. All the index cards were from different time periods. We had written the cards the week before. Anyway, we as a group had to put the cards in a chronological order from the big bang to know using just the cards we  had. Then we had to check ours and check others.

My group kind of got confused with the grass. We could not tell if the lands were covered in grass before humans arrived or after? We worked through it with help from each other. We finally got a perfect order. (Well we hope it was perfect)

I personally learned more about all the events because as we were going, My group was also talking about the events so I learned a lot more about each event.

This is one of the groups timeline.

Homework Planner

This is what I think about our old planner: I think that it gets crumpled in our folder and the tips bend. I think this is just paper! I think we should have something more powerful and creative. I think, that we could either

-Get our own BOOKS and designing it. 

-Maybe we could have a voice chip where our teachers speak into it and that is how we get homework. 

-Also we could have the teachers EMAIL us 

Those are some of my ideas. I would like to shear more in class.
