Good morning!!! This morning was a chilly cold morning! We came in and unpacked our stuff. We started on our calendar math. We did the daily shape, counting tape, daily problem, and daily conversions. So when it was 9:04 we headed down to PE for dance class. We had a lot of fun doing the same dances from yesterday. It’s really a fun week, when we get to do the dance week. So after we practiced all of our dances it was time to go back up to our classroom and get to work. So once we came back, we went over our calendar math. Then it was time to move on to our daily math. We did a new kind of transformation with our desks. We had four groups of eight or seven. So we worked on this group assignment for a while and then we had break.
So we had break and talked a lot. Once break was done we moved onto science. In science we had to answer some questions and see how much we know about cockroaches. We also answered a few questions about some other bugs too. We had to try to guess what kind of bug they were and answer things about what they do. Then when we finished those questions we had to leave for lunch.
When we came back from lunch we went right into social
studies. In social studies we got all new stuff. We are now going to learn about china. Then we got new paper work to go into our social studies binder. We answered a few questions about our environment. Then we moved onto a writing assessment. We got a prompt and we started to write. Then it was time to do pack stack and vac. We also had to do jobs of course. Then we went home for the day.

Day 47 - Dance week
Welcome back from the weekend!!! This morning in class we came in and got our seats. We unpacked our backpack and then sat down and did calendar math. We did calendar math until it was 9:04. We went down to PE and the other class was already there. We had dance week, this week. We all came in found a spot on the floor. The music DJ guy told us some songs we will be doing. We did the cupid shuffle, the something slide… I forgot the name. We also did the wickey wow, wow, and the jitterbug bug jog. It is a great work out and a ton of fun! We also have dance week tomorrow too. So when it was over we went back up to the classroom, hot and sweaty. So we came up and went over our calendar math. Then we did daily math. After maybe 45 minutes of math we had break.
At break we had snack and then hung out with friends and talked. So right when break was done we got to do science. In science we got the cockroaches out and then we tried to choose which one we had before. Then we got to do the experiments that we made for the roaches. We worked on our experiments until it was time to go to recess and lunch.
When we came back from lunch we went right into socials studies. In social studies we had to go back and do everything we had not done in our social studies binder. We did that up until about 2:30. Then for half an hour we read Hamlet. We moved on to Houghton Mifflin. We finished up a story about the two men that climbed Mount Everest. We only had a little to read so we started to read another story next. It was called, the confessions of Charlotte Doyle. Then it was time to pack up and do jobs. So we did that and then went home for the day.

Day 46 - Bullying Video
This morning in our warm classroom, on this cool day we came in and did our calendar math right away. So we had to work on calendar math until about 9:15. At 9:15 we headed down to library. In library we had to do a lot of things. We went into the computer lab and did some quiz/trivia about some social studies stuff we had been studying. So we went to our assigned computer and then we worked on those little trivia questions. After we did some things on that site, we had some checkout time. So everyone either got a good book or just sat down and read some books in different places. So after we had checkout time it was time to go back to our classroom. Then when we got back we did our daily math. Since we had library later we don’t have as much time for math. So we also got a math test. We worked on the math test until it was time to have break.
At break we had snack and talked a lot. Then we finished up the math test. We moved onto science after everyone finished the math test. In science we didn’t get to play with the cockroaches but we worked on making an experiment to do with them. Then after we finished we had to head down to lunch.
When we got back from lunch we did social studies. In social studies we did an end of the chapter test. When we finished it we watched a video on bullying. I think it really helped for a lot of people. Then when we finished the video we had a quiet work period until the end of the day. Then it was time to pack, stack and vac. So we did that until it was time to go home for the weekend.

Day 45 - Assyrians and Babylonians
Good morning! Welcome back to class! So we climbed up the back stairs and then walked into our classroom. We got our chairs and unpacked and were ready to learn. So we did calendar math and word of the day as always. We did our daily problem, counting tape, daily shape, and daily depositor. So while we did that Mr. Steele came around and checked to see who had homework and who didn’t. About 70% had homework and 30% didn’t. We are hoping that we will soon get 100% homework. That day will come soon though. So we did calendar math and some daily math until it was time to go to computer lab. At 10:00 we lined up and headed down to computer lab. In computer lab Mr. Steele showed us some new things on Microsoft office PowerPoint. It was really cool because we learned stuff that most people never knew about. So we worked on stuff in the computer lab until it was time to go back to the class for break.
At break we had snacks and did talking for our 10 minutes. Once those ten minutes passed we went back to math. What we did in math today was our algorithm posters. We started them for the first time to today. We had to finish them today. So we had to work quickly. We only had an hour to finish the whole poster. We were going to make them within our group and then vote on them at the end. Who’s ever got the most votes would get $400 for the whole group. We got to figure out how to split it. So then it was time to go to recess. Most groups had not finished so they stayed in and worked on it. Then after a while we had to go to lunch.
At lunch they were serving a chicken sandwich, hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken nuggets and pizza sticks. Then once we came back from lunch we did social studies. We had to do a lot of reading about four or five pages. Then we answered questions about it too in our social studies binder. After about an hour if social studies we went and finished up the dinosaur video from the other day. It was a really, really good and interesting video. Then we moved onto Hamlet. We read a chapter in it and it was a good chapter too.

Day 43 - Fractions
This morning in class we came in and unpacked our stuff. Then it was 9:04 so we headed down to PE. In PE it was the girls turn to do the high jump, AKA scissor kick. So about only 5 girls did the jumping thing. It was really fun for people to watch and do it. We are having a championship tomorrow for all the last finalists. So we did the high kick until it was time to go back to our classroom. When we got back up to our class we pulled out our calendar math again and finished that up. Then we went over last night’s homework. Then we did an Activote test for math. It was only five questions but some of them were longer so it took a while. Then when we finished the test it was time for break.
So the wall opener opened the wall and then everyone ran to their friends. Once it was 11:10 we all were in our seats ready to move on with the day. We did science after break. In science we did some reading and more looking at bugs in pictures. We answered some questions about what we were talking about. Then we learned how to handle the cockroaches. We talked about that until it was time to go to lunch.
At lunch we had some good yummy food. Then we had recess. No one is allowed on the lower field because it is always wet. But maybe if it dries up then we will be able to use it again. So once we came back from lunch we did social studies. In social studies the last group did their small play. Then we did some reading. Followed by a paper that went with our reading. Then we moved onto reading Hamlet because we haven’t read it for a while. After we read some of Hamlet we finished up the rest of the video from yesterday. It was very, very interesting and cool and even funny sometimes. Then it was time to do jobs. So we did jobs and then pack, stack, and vac. Then we went home.

Day 42 - Mechanical Dioramas
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.
