What have you been proud of?

9/15/2016

Congratulations on being done your first full week of school! It has been so busy trying to nail down all our routines, rules, and figure out how to work it out with a mix of old and new friends but you have all been amazing! It is such a pleasure to teach such a kind, hardworking group of students.
For your blog post this week, I’d like each of us to write a paragraph (or more if you’d like). I would like you to use descriptive language (think your FIVE senses) to describe an event, lesson, or experience that you’ve had in class so far that has made you feel proud to be a part of 6-2! I can start.

The sun was streaming in through the streaked windows, and there was a hum of energy in the classroom. Students could be seen in the class, not in just their desks but throughout the room, working in groups of 1, 2, 3, and more, talking quietly and focussing. I felt proud as I walked around the room seeing what each group was working on. There was two different groups of students working on building robots; they were focussed and kind, talking and building each other up, working towards a common goal. Each other student was also hard at work, either alone or in a group but working on something meaningful, pushing themselves to be better today than they were the day before. The class looked, felt and sounded like learning, and I was so proud to be their teacher.

The quiet chatter of students hard at work was the only sound in the classroom lit with sunlight. Everyone was stacking sugar cubes to figure out that 10x10x10 model. Everyone was helping to finish that 10x10x10 model, but it seemed like everyone was having a brain fart! "WE GOT IT" yelled a group of people. when we confirmed that we got it, we all cheered, and that is one of the many reasons that I am proud I'm in 6-2!!

It was Wednesday morning today every body was at there desks with there writing books writing about a picture Mr.Stelman had put up on the board. the picture showed a banana with a chain saw standing next to a banana split. You could see every buddy was hard at work you could hear the whispering coming from different tables.Then suddenly there was a beeping noise after a couple of minutes, this indicated are time was up. Mr.Stelman told us to count up all of our words, this is one reason i am proud to be in 6-2!

My first week at school was one of the best. We got to do inspirational math, language, and building robots. I was so proud the progress I made this week. But there were things that I need to do better next time. Being proud is always what we should do. Even if we make mistakes. Mistakes give you more brain growth apart the people who didn’t make a single mistake. Our teacher also loves mistakes. I love this year and I hope it would be a year that I really want to expect. I was super proud when I was doing math. My teacher was checking my work and he gave me a check mark. I had a big smile on my face. When we were writing about Why she/he is the best, mine writing had lot’s of details. When I finished my work, I showed it to my teacher and he said that he can’t wait to read it. The next day we had science robots at the 6th period. They were typically Lego mine storm robots. Suddenly I did prodigy instead. If you don’t know, the prodigy is a math / video game. The math questions were way easy for me which was boring. However I had lot’s of fun playing that game and it made me happy. I am proud of me this week at school.

Today at 9/15/2016 10:29 starting this blog I will talk about... Today! Today at school with all the students... But Amy we have gotten a paper written numbers a a cube 3x3x3 4x4x4 5x5x5 up to 10x10x10
we worked in our group/group S we figured 3x3x3 with the one side there was 6 sides then the 10X10X10 with 8x8=64 in the middle and times that by 8=552, then the 2 sides do the simmular way to do it but with the 2 sided color with one block, Then we eventually made it to 15x15x25 and the 1 side is 13x13=169 sooooo 169x13= 3887 and thats the answer for the 1 side. It was fun because... it had a beautiful sunset with trees going EVERYWHERE with kids working with there own work and me... Haveing the best time in my life with the easiest questions and then It, Was, DONE!

It was just another day at school. The sun was coming through the dirty windows, and students were hard at work. Only, it wasn't just another day at school. It was just another day in 6-2. Students were doing things that students don't normally do. You could hear the metallic clicking of robot part being snapped and screwed together. Students whispered ideas to each other, filling the classroom with an energizing hum. Different podcasts and music reverberated around in each students head. The faint noise of clicking keys and the soft scratching of pencils moving across a page added to the noise of innovative education buzzing around the room. That is why I'm proud to be in 6-2.

It was Friday morning. A beautiful morning to say the sun was shining and the sky was blue. All of the kids were hard at work, working on their DRA's. The room was quite all you could here were the sounds of Mr.Steltman and the students reading at the back. Everything was so quite until their was a knock. What kind of knock you say well it was not a student tapping on the desk it was some knocking to ask to borrow a calculator, but after that it was quite. That just shows how much our work means to us and that is why I am proud to be in 6-2

This week has been a great success for me, and there are many things that I am proud of. When Mr. Steltman asked to write a blog post about what we were proud I knew there were things that I am really proud of. I think that everybody can be proud of anything that they think is a success. When I finished my first blog post I was proud of myself, I think that made me feel good because I let all of the other students know what my goals are.

The first thing that I am proud of is me being able to follow along with many of the tasks, I knew that last year some things were hard for me to understand, but so far in this year I have been able to accomplish assignments the way I want them to look, and sound to the whole class. When you understand something it makes you feel good because once you get the answers correct then you could have different and harder goals.

Another thing that I am really proud of is how I have been able to work independently, last year I remember talking when the teacher was talking and talking when your supposed to be focused on your work. I hope that this year I could keep on working like how I'm supposed to. Working independently is very important to me because there are times when you're working and you just hear your other classmates talking, I don't want to be the person that talks when other students are working hard.

Well there was one math class I really enjoy and was proud of. It was the class when every table group got twenty seven sugar cubes and put the in a three by three cube like thing that looked like a rubic cube. When we had that we had to imagine what sides would have one two or three sides painted if you dunked the cube like thing in a bucket of paint for dunking the cube in paint .The reason I liked that lesson was because my group decided to work with other groups and collaborate with a lot of people and get every thing done right and together. That lesson made me feel proud!

It was a Friday afternoon the sun shine was pouring into the class room as we started our IT periods. Me and my group were especially lucky because we got to build 1 of the robots in my class . We wanted to go and make the biggest robot which is a Sensor Clawbot. In order to make a Sensor Clawbot we had to make a Clawbot then put sensors on that. Building the robot meant touching gears and wires. Everything felt different like the gears were ruff and the wheels were squishy also the axle was a little rod of metal that was smooth. Building the robot felt as fun as eating a Kit Kat blizzard for the first time. Me and my group made sure to listen to every ones thoughts about how to make the robot . Sadly it was the end of the day and my group and I looked at the robot proudly even if it was smaller than expected. This was a great way to end the week at school.

It was a very warm day but a quiet one the only thing you could hear were the little conversations in a few groups trying to figure out the 10X10X10 cube question it was very hard and almost all the kids got it wrong the first time they thought they were done.
If you could smell studying you would be drawn to the class a mile a way. We solved the 10X10X10 problem using sugar cubes, base ten blocks, and counting cubes. everyone looked a bit puzzled at first but almost in an instant everyone knew what to do.
and the next day our teacher helped the kids who got a bit confused.
and that's why I'm proud to be in class 6-2!

It was a sunny and warm day outside, but inside was humid cause we had an air conditioner.

We were all working hard on doing a type of math called hailstone sequences. Hailstone sequences are when you start with a number and if it is odd you multiply by 3 and add 1 if it is even you divide it by 2 until you get to one

So we were all were working hard and solving some, and even some that took so long, and everybody try hard and that is why I am proud to be in 6-2

It was a warm morning in class 6-2 of River Oaks. Everybody was working hard on a math problem called the hailstone sequence. With the quiet chatter of voices sharing ideas. Our teacher had made this activity fun, engaging and entertaining as students wrote down the fun pattern most of the student got down to number one, or the sequence kept going on and on and on. But as fun as the activity was the bell for recess rang as the student went to get there lunches chattering about the pattern.
Over all I love grade 6 because of the fun and engaging math, the cool coding and awesome robots and projects this is going to be a great year.

it was the first day of school, and all the students were running over to their new classmates. as luck has it, i was put into class 6-2, teacher? mr.steltman. as we walked into our classroom, i saw many amazing things, such as the robots, coding books, VR glasses, and so much more! we sat down, as our teacher explained the basics of the classroom, and showed us a funny minion video about classroom expectations, (and i think he has a slideshow for the whole year!!!!!) i met some old classmates from grade five, and some new ones! overall, class 6-2 is a positive area, with loads of positive people! and that is why i am proud of being a member of 6-2!

Today it is Wednesday I walk in to the classroom and I see my classmates sitting at there desks. waiting for Mr. steltman to began he start I Hear him say we will be doing power writing. He continued write as much as you can in four minutes about a picture. He showed us the picture on the projector it was a banana holding a chain saw next to a banana split. Then the minutes stared I felt the pencil in my hand . I won't write about my story because it is a little dark so I guess that is it.

At September 14th, it was my first day in new class. I met Mr. Steltman in the morning, he was such a kind and nice teacher. Then I came into the classroom, all students were friendly. In Math course, when I completed the sugar building project with my group, I was very excited. I was so proud of being a member of 6-2. I wish to have a great school year!

It was an nice afternoon in 6-2 and everyone was with there table group and at work. Everyone was trying to make the tallest tower with cups. You might think that was easy but, it's not you could not use your hand to touch the cups or any other body part. You also had sting and a elastic band. It was pretty hard. It was fun too. The tallest tower was 6 cups and when we got the tallest tower, we were really excited and that is one reason why I am proud to be in 6-2!

It was a day. We were at math. We had a problem. A very hard one. every student was in their seat. We got the problem. Everyone was talking their groups.We were talking quietly among our groups. studying could been seen, like a book or something, the class would of been filled with it. I thought and thought. I knew there was something. Then Evan drew it to me! I solved the problem! I am proud to be in 6-2.

It is the second week of school and I have enjoyed it with Mr.Steltman. I was a beautiful week because of the weather. We made our website and that was really fun for me. I liked meeting friends from last year and getting to talk to them.

It was a friday afternoon I was doing coding friday then I asked mr.steltman if I could use vr virtual reality he said yes, I was excited I was the first one to use it. I place the brown google cardboard box on my eyes. It felt weird because I could see no one was in the classroom but they were just not in vr . I also saw in vr mr. McKernan’s water bottle that reminds me of last year. Then I heard mr steltman talk about the classroom and ms. Joudrie hair. Then I smellted a pictacular smell not in vr but in real life it also made me feel like I should jump then I herd chat about the robot I also bumped into desks and people . While in vr I saw a robot that was not built then well I was in vr the robot that I saw was not built was being built in real life. I am so proud to be in 6-2 with all the technology we can use this year

As you could hear the faintest sound ever. Something like...a pop song as you would walk by someone. Each person you walk by, again the faintest sound you have EVER heard!!! But hardly, you can tell what song they are listening to. The whole class hard at work, while listening to yours, and others music, (the ones playing it too loud). Everybody on a chrome book, on their first assignment of the day. 180 days of reading that is. Everybody asking, and checking if there answer is correct to another's. On the table close to the door, a built, coded robots stands. Across the room on the table, a halfway built robot stands. All this technology... isn't it overwhelming, you may ask. No, anyone in our class would say, it is just the way class 6-2 rolls.
