5th Graders Join the Blog

After a brainstorming session yesterday, MYOB fifth graders are joining the fourth graders on the blog. Read more about the fifth graders' experiences at summer camp.

In Mind Our Own Business Summer Camp we learn how to own our own business.  We sell our product so that people who want to go to college (UALR) can get a scholarship. At the River Market on July 12, 2011, that’s when we are selling our product. We also accept generous donations.

The 5^th graders are making picture frames. They are made out of rolled up magazines. The 8 by 8 ½ are $8.00. Last Friday we went to Pinnacle Mountain .The Friday before that we went to see CARS 2. It was funny. We have a morning class and an afternoon class. Our morning teacher is Ms. Shrider and our afternoon class teacher is Ms. Jackie. In the morning we learn about math and literacy.

It is important for students to have summer learning because students would not forget the things we learned in school. Important things I learned this summer was how to make picture frames and our responsibilities for owning a business. Also, I learned about a famous artist named Johannes Vermeer and his paintings. In our camp we have two different classes. We have a morning class and an afternoon class. In our morning class we learn about math, reading and writing. Also, we are reading an interesting book called Chasing Vermeer. Yesterday 4^th and 5^th grade drew a self portrait picture. In the afternoon class we are doing picture frames. They are made of re-cycled magazine paper. We are almost done with all of our hand-made product. Our product name is PPF (Picture Perfect Frames). We go to field trips every Friday. Our first field trip we went to was Bowen School of Law. We had a lot of fun there. I’m the President of our business committee team and my job is to make sure everything goes out smooth and that everybody is doing their job correctly. The money we make will go to the UALR Children International Scholar Ship Fund.                                                                            The END……..

MATH  COMPETIONS

We have fun doing Math Competitions. They are fun. Our cass get’s divided into two parts team 1 and team two. I am in team two. The goal of the game is to know your multiplication and sometimes your division. Mr. Cooper is the our morning teacher. He is the one who asks the multiplication facts. Ms. Bri takes  score but when a team is not even she let’s the odd person take score. When a team wins that team usually get’s candy. I like it when Mr. Cooper gives me starburst. I hope I have the winning team next time!!! I really like it when we have a friendly MATH COMPETITIONS. I REALLY LOVE MATH. I like summer school.

The math competition are like two teams Team A and Team B, and then we do math problems like 10 x5, 3x6 and 5x6. Recently it’s a tie. Team A won 4 and Team B won 4. Now I’m on Team B. The problems are getting harder and harder.
