Adolescent Issues Post 1

Zachary on October 30, 2014October 31, 2014

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?
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 exited to have more freedom in between classes. Before we had to walk in strait lines. I am kind of disappointed because it was less fun then I thought it would be. The first week it was amazing and then I just got used to it. But the second week it was old. Now it’s just I was worried that Fifth Grade would be to much for me. At that time a Fifth Grader had told me that 5th grade is aggravatingly hard. So that got me worried. Later the person said they were just trying to scare me. I feel like Fifth Grade is actually easier than I thought it would be. Our teachers give us the same amount of homework that we got in 4th grade. We just have more time to do it. I am still a little worried about my attendance record. I don’t always want to be late or exactly on time. I am exited to do “The Special Day”. I think it’s called learning day. Last year on that day the Fifth Graders/6th went surfing. So I’m exited to see what they are going to do this year .

Humanity’s 2

On Friday we had to put cards that said event from the big bang to now in chronological order (time order). My group was short on cards so it was hard to keep track of. I learned what chronological means (time order). I also learned that we (us humans) are not that big at all in the scale of the universe. I figured out that coal was made by plants over million of years. I think I skipped that part in my learning log. One of the cards in my groups deck was “the moon formed” we were having a disagreement over where the moon goes. Does it go before the seasons or after? The after I figured out the answer was before the seasons were made.

Sceince project

Last year in science we did a whole section on atoms so I know from brain pop. Also When I was in Third Grade I remember reading “THE SECRET BEING THE BIG BANG”. In generally I like to think of atoms in a cartooned way. So I thought of the atom when we were picturing them like this.

The new planners

Zachary on October 1, 2014October 30, 2014

I think we should have I pads for the planners that way we can just be emailed our home work. Also since you’ll email the home work it is less likely that we don’t write our homework down. Us kids should have a test to see if were responsible. Its a privilege to have a planner that’s a I pad so if we are bad we can just take it away.
