Today in school we had tests and other educational things. We had a 3 english test and a social studies test. For Math we played some games and we checked our homework ( I got one wrong!) For English we had tests for our book The Giver.

For P.E. we had a catching test and I got ten out of ten!

For Social studies we had a test on The Caribbean.

And we did not have science yet

ok bye - Margaret

1. In Math Class, we are learning about maps and about their scales. We are also learning about proportions. This is important to learn because when you have to travel then you would know how many miles it really is. We are also about to take a Chapter Test. We also did Mad Minutes(which is like a test with a certain about of math equations in an amount of time) ,and Mental Math games, today we also did a Jonas Bonus, (which is where we have some information and we have to figure out the ages of the Jonas Brothers which is a new band.) That is what we are doing in Math Class.
2. In Science Class, we are had a test on speed, velocity, gravity, friction, and inertia. We also learned about the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Law of Motion. For next week I think we will be reporting lessons. That means that we go into groups and then pick a lesson to study and teach the class. We are also going to do experiments. That is what we are doing in Science Class. 
3. In English Class, we are reading a book called “The Giver”. It is a book about a perfect community, if they were bad they were kicked out of the community. They had no choice of their spouse, they had to apply for children, they were assigned jobs, they also had a lot of rules to follow. At every age they get something new like at age 9 they got a bike, at age 12 they have no more birthdays and they get jobs, those are only some examples. We are on reading 8-10 tonight. We have vocabulary quizzess and  book quizzes on “The Giver”. That is what we are doing in English Class.
4. In Social Studies, we are learning abot Central America. We were reviewing our tests today and we picked groups for our vodcast. A vodcast is just like a newscasts. In Central America we are learning of the places like Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador and others.
5. In Physical Education (P.E.), we are playing flag football. We are playing flag football because our P.E. teacher doesn’t want us to get hurt from takling.
6. In Computer Class, we are just finishing up unfinished blogs and looking at our comments and other peoples blogs and writing post. We also are learning how to use a SONY Digital Camera - DSC-S30. so we can use it later on for our picture blogging.
