Reflections On First Quarter

I think that the planner 10 is a better choice than planner 5 because; 1. I made it. That means that it is awesome. 2. Planner #5 has too much ink it would take too much money to print every week.  3. I think that planner 10 is better because it has a lot of subjects. Planner 5 on the other hand has only a few places for different subjects. 4. Planner 5 has extra photos that aren’t necessary ie. a picture of spongebob? What’s the point of that?

I think that both the planners are missing spelling words. So that could be the inside front cover. The covers should be design your own because not everyone likes the same things for instance, Ben C. likes video game characters and I like sports. We don’t both like the same things.

A Sister!?!

I screamed! My mom just told me the worst news that I thought I would have a little sister! I ran to my room and shut the door. I could hear my mom talking to my dad and saying, “I think he’s going to be excited to have a little sister. He just hasn’t realized how good it’s going to be yet.”

I could hear my dad’s footsteps coming toward my room and I knew he was going to try to cheer me up. Little did I know that nothing would go well until my dad asked me the one thing that would definitely cheer me up, and that was… “Hey Harvey, you wanna play some baseball?” If you know me you should know that if someone asks me to play baseball I will always say yes.

 

So we were playing baseball and I was thinking about going to a Mets game with my little sister in the future. My imagination went something like this: We were at Citi Field and we were sitting by the dugout and one of the Mets players was looking at me. He tried to throw me the ball and it was a little bit to the side of me and my dad caught it and gave it to my little sister who at the time didn’t even care about baseball. I was thinking that I would be so upset that he wouldn’t give the ball to me and I told my dad that he would pay for the stupid mistake. I was five years old at the time and very selfish. I didn’t want my sister to take the “thunder” away from me. In other words I wanted to be the center of attention and I didn’t want to share my parents. I was dreading that moment if it happened to me and I was hoping that that would never happen to me. I didn’t want to bring the idea up to my dad but I didn’t really know the exact reason.

Imagine the Future

feel2

When you were in lower school, what was something that you were excited about for fifth grade? How do you feel about it now that you’ve done it?

I was excited to have a lot more independence. I feel very accomplished now that I’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?

I was nervous about having tons of homework and now I don’t feel really worried because I am not overloaded on homework. I feel really relieved because I’m not overloaded on homework.

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 am excited for the time that we get to do the activities that students get to choose like last year, I know that a group went surfing. I’m just excited about going to fun places.

Population of the World Graph

I Chose to make my graph this shape because I think that Anna was trying to trick us because I think that was the time that the  black death was going around and that killed around 125 million people so that’s why I did what I did.

I was surprised that the population was so low but I didn’t have to alter my graph for it because I didn’t have a graph (that’s because I wasn’t at school the day before not I didn’t do the work). So that information helped me change what I thought originally to my graph now.

 

Atoms

Screen Shot 2014-10-09 at 9.04.08 AM I made my atom  look like this because I didn’t think an atom was just a square or a circle I thought it was all different shapes and sizes. I also thought that atoms are different colors because we’re made up of atoms and different people are different colors. If atoms were all the same color we would only have one color in the world. A challenge I went through was I didn’t know what shape to use so that’s when I decided that I thought that an atom was all different shapes and sizes. Some easy things were that I could change the shapes and sizes and I had freedom of what I could choose as shapes.

Math Graphs

I noticed that the graph with no lines connecting the dots doesn’t fit in any category. I know that for 2 reasons, one, I know who made it and they said it went with C but that’s false because the first dot is not at 10 meters. The one that’s in purple marker in B doesn’t fit anywhere and all of the ones in C that don’t start at 10 meters don’t go anywhere.

I think that all of the graphs should have lines connecting the dots because the time doesn’t stop in between seconds time is still going so the dots having lines connecting makes sense. So now you can see what’s happening in between.
