Today was mostly math and kids getting in trouble. Also, I had to go to band and back to class and then back to band again. It wasn't really a good day for the whole class even though there was no rainy day schedule, which was one bright thing today.
After PLC, Mr. Grothem told us to work while he got some kids in trouble. A lot of people got a strike from that. Then, the kids who were working on their video worked on it while we were correcting our PB pages. Then we took our vocabulary test and the video kids didn't get to take it, but we still got a good grade. After that, we had recess. Then, after recess was over, we came in and people started talking so Mr. Grothem told us to bring up the people who were talking, but nobody did, so he gave EVERYONE in the class a strike towards Seaworld and such. He then told us to write a persuasive statement that would convince him that we either should or shouldn't get a strike. Then, we finally got into math.
For math, we learned how to make stem and leaf plots in 19-4. A stem and leaf plot is like a graph with a tens place and a ones place except all the ones places are placed right next to each other depending on what tens place it is. For example, if you have 12,14,15,23,24, and 25, then in the plot you would have 1/ 2,4,5 and 2/ 3,4,5,with one on top.Then, for 18-4, we learned how to make a graph. One special graph we learned about today was a scattergram. A scattergram is when you have a graph with points that don't connect or do anything and are just scattered. You could make one when you are using height and age, for instance. All the points would be different and scattered unless one of them was the exact same as another one. We also took our practice test for topic 18, and as a class I think we got an 84%. I got a hundred. It was only seven questions, though, so it was harder to get an A because if you missed one already you would have a B.
Then I went to band, but before I did I noticed that the people who already went to band forgot their homework so I had to go back to the classroom, open the door, get the homework, give Mr. Grothem his keys back, and finally go to band so I could give them their homework and so I could practice. Then I went home with my super heavy backpack and the school day was over.
