Welcome back from candy and fun all weekend! Now we have to get back to business! Most people this morning were pretty tired from trick or treating last night. Since Halloween was on a Sunday that was the only time we could go trick or treating. Well you could go on Saturday but no one would probably have any candy out. ANYWAYS... This morning in class we came in and unpacked all of our stuff. So we did some calendar math and then it was time to go to music. So we lined up in the back of the room and walked down to music. In music we did some reading on a composer named Hayden. Then we did questions on them. So then it was time to go back to our classroom. In class we started some new calendar math pages. Then we worked on our daily math. Then at 11 o’clock it was time to have break.
So at break most people had candy for snack. Then we went on to science. In science we looked at pictures of bugs and named the parts of the bugs. Then we read some things about more bugs. Whew! A lot of bugs! So then when we started to read it was actually time to go to lunch and recess. At recess today we played battlefield in the gym.
So when we came back from lunch we finished up the reading in science. And then we answered some questions for what we read. So by the time that was done it was 2:00. Then we moved onto social studies. In social studies we did the plays finally. Everyone did there little skit and then we watched other peoples skits too. Then we watched a video about dinosaurs 4.4 billion years ago. It was also sort of about earth. So we watched that until it was time to do jobs. So we did jobs and then it was time to pack stack and vac. Then we lined up and went home.

Day 41 - Halloween Party
Today is the Halloween party at school! A lot of people brought a lot of food. We had food like cupcakes, chips, candy, drinks, and cookies. Then we did calendar math. We did calendar math for about maybe twenty or thirty minutes. Then we went over it with Mr. Steele. We went over the daily shape and the daily math problem. Then we moved onto our daily math. In math we went over some review and then did a few extra things in math. We worked on math all the way up until it was time to have break time.
So we had our snacks and then did science. In science we did a small little experiment. We had a petri dish and then we put water in and little seeds. So we would watch the seeds over a couple days and they are supposed to grow. So when we finished science it was time to head out to lunch.
So we had some good food and a fun recess. When we got back to the class we moved right into social studies. In social studies we worked on our stuff for the small play we are doing. We worked on lines and some more props. Then we moved onto Houghton Mifflin. In Houghton Mifflin we read a story about two men that climbed Mount Everest and lived. Then when we finished the story it was time to go get our costumes on! Then swe had an awesome party! But then we had to go home. Have fun trick ot treating!

Day 40 - Secret Garden
This morning in class we came up the back stairs and walked into our class. In class we unpacked our stuff and then sat down. Everyone pulled out their calendar math and wrote down the word of the day and the two factors of the day. Then we finished up calendar math. After that we worked on our daily math. Today we are supposed to go to computer lab at about 10:00 but we ended up staying and finishing up math. So we did math all the way up until it was time to have break.
So in break we had delicious snacks and fun conversations. So then we moved onto science after break. In science we saw this video about nature and how they survive and many, many other things. It was actually funny sometimes because the actors in it had some humor so we had some fun with watching it. It showed things like flowers growing and bugs and how they make homes. It was really a good video. It was pretty long so we watched it all the way up to lunch time.
So we headed to lunch and then recess. Today at lunch we had chicken nuggets, pizza sticks, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken burgers. We were able to get an apple strudel as a sweet treat. So people got a good healthy balanced diet. Then when we came back from lunch we finished the last bit of the movie. We wrote some answers to questions from the movie. Then we did social studies. So in social studies we worked on designing the set and costumes for the small play. Then we made props. We did social studies for a long time. We did it all the way up until 3:00. Then we read Hamlet. So we read Hamlet until it was time to do jobs. Then we did pack stack and vac. Then it was time to go home.

Day 39 - Mini Pond Safari
School is now in session! Today in class we came in and worked on our calendar math. So we did that and got settled for the day. Then we headed down to Music. In music we did e spider and the fly music sounds. We had five different groups and then each group got a box of instruments and a paper with a line from the book. We would make sounds with whatever happened in the line. So we did that for our whole music time. Then at the end of music we did an earthquake drill. We would go to the middle of the music room and kneel and cover our heads. Then after the “earthquake” we would go out to the field and line up like in the fire drill. So after that we went back up to our classroom. When we got back we did daily math. In math we went over our homework and then did a few extra math problems. So once we finished math it was time to have break.
So we had break. Then we moved onto science. What we did all the way up until lunch was look at little critters under the microscope. Mr. Steele got something so everyone could see the little microscopic animals. So we headed down to lunch and recess.
Then when we came back from class we did social studies right away. In social studies we are doing a really fun activity. We are almost doing a small play but we have 7 groups and we do different kinds of things. We did social studies up until 1:50.Then we did jobs and pack stack and vac. Then we went home at 2:00.

Day 38 - Paramecium
We are now back, on to our normal schedule! We had three days with early release at noon. Most people are sad to see it go but still, it’s nice to have a normal schedule again. So today in class we got out our calendar math and did that. Calendar math in the morning is a regular routine now. So when it was time to go to PE we lined up in the back of the classroom. So today in PE we did the high jump. Well at least the boys did. The girls get to do it next week. So while some boys did the high jump, other people did some other kinds of jumping games. One was to see how high you jump, and the other was to see how far you could jump. We also could do the animal grabbing game, where there are three animals and you race to see who can grab them first. So after a while most people sat down to watch some of the boys do the high jump. Then Mr. Steele came in and took us back to our classroom. When we got back to the classroom we went over the calendar math and homework too. Then it was time for break.
At break we had snack and caught up with all the news from our friends. So once we finished break we finished up our daily math. Once we finished that up, we moved onto science. In science we were put into three different stations again. We would do either microscopes, a scientific drawing, or dissect a lima bean. For the microscopes we would take some of the pond water and look at it under the microscope. We had to see what we could spot in the water. Some groups saw some pretty neat things. If you were doing the scientific drawing then you would have to copy a picture of a paramecium. We had to label it too. If you were doing the lima bean then you would take a lima bean and then suck on it for about five minutes. We would take the lima bean out of our mouth after five minutes and then take the shell off of it. Then we would split it open and do some investigating on what was inside it. So then by the time all that was done it was time to go outside.
So we went outside and had recess. After forty five minutes we went inside for our twenty minute lunch. The once lunch was over we came inside and we went straight to social studies. In social studies we did another end of the chapter Activote quiz. But we still got two questions on paper. By the time we finished the quiz it was about 2:30. After social studies we moved onto reading Hamlet. So we read it to about almost three o’clock. Then we worked on our climb or die story until the end of the day. Then we did jobs and pack stack and vac. That was the end of our day and then it was time to go home.

Day 37 - Final Half Day
Welcome back from the weekend! We get to start off Monday with a half day! So this morning in class we came in and did our calendar math. Mr. Steele put up our daily shape and our daily division problem. So then it was time to go down to PE. In PE we did some stretches because we were going to do some jumping. We jumped over hurdles and cones. We did that the whole PE time. Then when we came back from PE we went over our calendar math. Then we did some of our daily math. So after about an hour of daily math it was time for break. At break we had our yummy snacks and talked up a storm. When our break was done we did some catch-up time. We could work on either our Climb or Die essay, or social studies comic, or simile art. So we worked on those until it was time to leave for the day. So then at 11:50 we did our jobs and then packed up.

Day 36 - Half Day 02
Good morning! We have another half day today! We also have another half day on Monday too but then that it the last half day. I believe we have more conferences later in the year but not for a long while again. So this morning in class we came in and unpacked our backpacks. We did calendar math until it was time to go to library. At 9:13 we went down to library. In library we did the same thing as last time. We went into the computer lab and then did the research databases again. Then we got out the paper we used last time. On that paper we wrote down two things about the website we went on. Then we got about 10 minutes for checkout. So some people checked out books and some just read for those 10 minutes. Then we went back up to the classroom. So when we got back up to the classroom we had this really, really long talk about safety because someone in our class was approached so we had this talk and I think it helped a lot for some people. So then it was time for break. So after we had break we did math. In math we got our new Bits and Pieces book. It is the second one. So we played a game with fractions and decimals. Then it was time to pack up and go home.
