When we came back from lunch and settled down, Mrs. Raude our teacher gave us a math test and then we did science which was B-O-R-I-N-G!!. At the end of the day we all received cookies.
Tuesday: - To start of the day we completed our writing activity and did our Running Out of Time contracts. Today at lunch they served popcorn and chicken. When we got back to class we did some math activity and moved on to do science for the rest of the day. Wow!! We did so much science that we were exhausted.
Wednesday: - At the beginning we blasted off with a writing activity. Mid morning we read chapter 11 & 12 of Running Out of Time. After retuning the books back to our teacher we completed our Running Out of Time contracts. Yes! After that we had a free time in class and then when to lunch and they served us Mauricio after that we did a Mini benchmark test. When everyone completed that we moved on to do our regular math.

Monday: Today we finally did our horrifying spelling and
horrendous vocabulary tests. But I have to admit, it does help
you get smarter. I got a 100% on my vocabulary test which was
my first for vocabulary. Next we took our peaceful math test
that we took in ease.
Tuesday: Today something strange happened. Yesterday our
homework was note cards but we did not review them! Usually
every Tuesday we review our note cards, but today we did not.
Mrs. Raude assigned us page 39 for Math homework. It all had
to do with multiplication, division, and related facts. After
that, Mrs. Raude split us into different groups. Then we took
a test about the Calusas and many other native Floridian tribes.
Wednesday: Today we reviewed multiplying and dividing one
digit numbers which we knew since 2nd grade. We all finished
in a quarter of a quarter second. Pretty quick! Not too
shabby! By the time we were done we had at least 100 hours to
go to finish math. Also we were so happy because Mrs. Raude
cancelled our Critical Thinking question. AWESOME!
Thursday: Mrs. Raude assigned us mind bender. This week it was
extremely uneasy because we had to unlock this code and it
would tell us a secret message. In art class we made three
dimensional figures that looked like pyramids. Alannah made
one that was decorated like a butterfly. It was polka dotted
and had a lot of pizazz.
Friday: Today we learned so many things that we were smarter
than Albert Einstein X 1,000,000. We learned math, science,
writing and even social studies. In math we learned to
multiply and divide AGAIN. In writing, we published our
wonderful essays about which job we would like to do when we
grow up. I chose a veterinarian. In social studies, we took a
test about different Floridian Indian tribes. After that, we
ate lunch and then the class took our spelling and vocabulary
tests. This was a fantastic week!

Monday-
Mrs. Raude's class starts reading " The Cay ". The first two chapters were amazing and loaded with details. You could picture Curacao in your mind. We didn't want to stop reading. In science , we start learning about using process skills. There were so many that I just wanted to scream! Aaahhhhhh!
Tuesday-
We study points of view. We had a blast! We also researched Curacao to learn more about it. We read one more chapter of " The Cay " and it was awesome just like the first two. We got popcorn chicken for lunch. It was yummy! We've never gotten that before!
Wednesday-
In the morning when the bell rang, Mrs. Raude told us to go inside the classroom but we just sat down on the floor as if we didn't hear her at all. We learn what the judges want when they score our FCAT writing essays. Wow, those judges sure want a lot. I wonder how they even remember all the things that they're suppose to be looking for. Manuel , Ishaan , and Aditya act like soldiers playing with their finger guns! Nelson is the referee!
Thursday-
We do our first expository essays. We all want to do good and get the highest score as possible! We work on our wacky scientist using process skills project. Some of our scientists look like weirdos, like their supposed to. They all have wacky names!
Friday-
We checked out the science lab for the first time! It's really cool! Some of us got our first stickers on the Chance Board. The Chance Board is where you get stickers if you get 100% on any tests. If you do, you get the choice of picking a Brainbuck which gets you a free pass to the treasure or a Chance Card which has a selection of different prizes to win!
