I wonder... Just another Lemon Tree

Math - Compulsory
  • IXL M.1 and M.3 (F.Y.I. - IXL will always be fifth grade lessons unless I specifically write otherwise)
  • Study link 8.2 and 8.3
Many of you were having difficult today wit hthis topic. I will be checking that you have done the practice

Enjoy this again.

I wonder... Can anybody write a poem that is even 'close' to the truly magnificent draft written today by Sabine...? Talk about setting the bar high!!!

Finish your I/O poem. Due tomorrow. Make sure you have a complete PRINTED version of this poem. We will be doing a few adaptations to it in tomorrow's session

  9. Guys, is this a good Morning Announcements script?:

    Ni Hao, Bonjour, Hello to all.
    The morning announcements are here from those you call...
    Carter and George, From Mr. Buxton’s class, who are here today.
    With some things to share... Hurray!
    And now for the daily goals
    For the core values should be everywhere on posters clinging to poles
    Respect, responsibility, honesty, fairness, and compassion
    Are all things you should do, daily with passion,
    Since, February 7th is today
    we do have some things to say
    Laura Ingalls Wilder was born today,
    She wrote great books about the early USA
    And...on this day in history,
    A great game was invented...Monopoly!
    We’d also like to share some news,
    About an event, coming up soon.
    For in a few days time,
    The GATE Math Fair will have a chance to shine.
    Today from 4-6 there will be a soccer game at the high school
    The U12 Select Soccer team is SO cool!
    Student Council Reps meet at lunch in Miss Hoykaas’s class
    Don’t forget to bring your hall pass!
    Today the Math Olympiads compete
    Wish luck to those in green you meet.
    Here is a suggestion
    could you answer this trivia question?
    Who invented the sea plane?
    Hopefully this question causes no pain
    This sure will be a very good day
    Yeah, but I guess it’s time to say goodbye, OK
    Have a Tremendous, tacky, Tuesday!

  14. Maya -
    It rhymes and they CAN use a hallpass, so I'm guessing that's why he put that part in... Anyway, it doesn't really matter whether they wear one or not.

  19. Please comment on the poetry not my opinion!


    They Think, But I Know
    By Nakul Sharma

    They say I suck at singing
    But I know I’m quite good.
    They think I’m pretty stupid
    But that’s just really rude

    I don’t know if they envy
    Or looking for reactions
    Maybe thinking they’re cool
    By their annoying actions

    They say I am a nerd,
    But I’m not that bothered.
    Because nerds work very hard,
    And I need a lot more effort.

    I don’t know if they envy,
    Or looking for reactions.
    Maybe thinking they’re cool,
    By their annoying actions.

    They say I look disgusting,
    But I know I look fine.
    Is there something wrong with my glasses?
    It’s just sunglasses without black lines.

    I don’t know if they envy
    Or looking for reactions
    Maybe thinking they’re cool
    By their annoying actions

  20. This is just my starting of my other poem please comment


    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    Would our clothes be stuck to us,
    And how will we take the bus?

    If the world was 2D
    What would man be?
    Is walking all we can do?
    No trains and cars too?

    If the world was 2D....

  21. If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    Would our clothes be stuck to us,
    And how will we take the bus?

    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    Is walking all we can do?
    No trains and cars too?

    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    How would we swallow?
    Would our skull be hollow?

    This one is better

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks Zach! Does anyone else have a opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Zach is does not have to rhyme. Infact, no poems have to!

    ReplyDelete
  28. but on Mr. Buxton's blog he rhymed so I was just checking

    ReplyDelete
  29. Why not choose the one that you fits your message the best. If you can't choose between them, then neither is perfect as you feel something is missing; therefore, write another one!

    Easier for you to just set up a google doc. Anisha.

    Announcements are great Geroge. Well done
