Jeremy

=OH MY GOSH= Who are these crazy blonds? I would hate to have them as teachers. That's what I said when I entered the classroom. "Jeremy were your teachers," Mrs.FuiniHetten and Yurconic said. =NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!= I said to myself. that was back then, But now look at all the things they taught me this year, in very interesting ways. = = =MATH OF THE WORLD=

In math we were thought sweet new math chants that help us remember important terms. We also learned about integers, properties, fractions, measurements, and other fun stuff. (kinda) With Mrs.Yurconic almost everything is fun. Now we are doing real life math concepts. What you do is you take an activity and see how math fits in to it. It's really neat once you think about it.

=MAPS, PHARAOHS, CHINA, OH MY=

Once again with Yurconic. In social studies we did a handful of stuff. We first learned what makes up a civilization. This is a web that i made that shows you what a civilization is composed of. Then we learned about the Mesopotamians. Then we learned about the Chinese and had a big Chinese new year project party thingy. Then we learned about the Mayans by watching the second voyage of the Mimi videos. Just before now we learned about the Egyptians and made coffins, mummies, canopic jars. we then buried our "pharaohs" in the "tomb" (AKA show case) and had a big celebration feast. then we had an awesome Greek week. All we did is research a topic that we chose and did a report on it. once every ones report was done we shared them all. It took 4 days to do that. this is my report and game. During that we also made Greek people in groups and had to write mini reports on them. i did a talk show. Then we went to Rome. man was it bloody there. they canceled the Olympics because it wasn't bloody enough. all it was for them is war war and more war. it's crazy. If you would ask me i would have to say the Greeks are my style. i like them most because there not too bloody and gross and not clean freaks. =OCEAN, OCEAN, OCEAN, BIRD BIOME=

In science we had lots of fun with Mrs. Fuini-hetten. We did so many experiments that you can't even count them all. Later on in the year we made oceanography projects and put them on the web for people to view, this is the one i made. http://www.stsd.org/sms/staff/lfuinihetten/ocean/currents.html. One of the other fun things we learned about was forces and motion. You know gravity and newtons laws thingies. Since i learned about gravity and it's brother people stuff, i realized that we exist because of gravity. With newtons laws i realized like how all the things i do cause motion, inertia and shifting momentum. Way back in the beginning of the year we learned about birds of prey. That was really cool. We went to Back Oven Knob and bird watched. Now sometimes i can look up and say to my family "Hey that's a turkey voucher" After that we learned about our own personal biomes in our groups. My groups was rain forest. I think it came out really well. The one time we went to the Adventure Aquarium. It was so fun, there were penguins, jellyfish, and some very strange fish. Once it got really warm, we had the outdoor program. for that we went outside and look at fish, ecosystems, some of our heritage, leaves, and plants. After this year i will always see the world as one big piece of a science book. This means that there is so much to learn but you never have enough time.

=ME TALKED AND READED GOOD YEAR THIS=

This year in reading/English we did tons of thousands of things. We had 20 vocab tests and 1 huge mega vocab test. We also had monthly book reports. Each month we were assigned a specific genre. It may have been annoying but it gave you a taste of every type of book which is neat. We also learned about prepositions. For that we all had to make poems i don't think my was any good but here it is anyway We also had a lot of PSSA practice. We had to make narrative and persuasive pieces. I think it really improved how i write. We also had to get reading counts points every quarter. This is my list of books. We had lots of lit circle but i cant show u that sry. But for the lit circles we read a book and we used different reading strategies to make the book make sense. we used things like think-alouds, inferring, predicting, looking back and lots of other things. Over the year we had to do lots of speaking in the class. But this was good for us. it helped me develop my oral skills. Because of them i learned to be less nervous in front of the class or anyone for that matter.

=TECH USES, LASERS, CABLES, TV AND MORE=

We used so much technology this year. Mrs.Fuini-Hetten taught us how to make a web page. She also gave us the info on how to add hyperlinks and pictures. We also used the web to talk to each other on sites like this. [|www.think.com] We also used another program to help us with the PSSA's. [|www.studyisland.com] This is how i did in sixth grade on it. I also made slide shows with some spare time = = =WELL NOW THAT= You've read about all the strange and helpful things my teachers taught me, don't you wish you would have these crazy humiliating demons instead of any other teacher?
