Yay! It’s Friday! This morning we came in and unpacked. We did our calendar math until it was 9:13. At 9:13 we went to library. In library we mostly had checkout time. Mrs. Joseph told us about the different kinds of fiction genres. She also told us that she might assign us a book report with a certain genre. So the paper we were using to find research databases was done. Except some people hadn’t finished so instead of getting checkout time and reading time, they had to finish that. So once it was time to go back up to our class, we lined up. Mr. Steele took us up to our class again. Then when we got there, we finished the calendar math. When we finished the math we moved onto our daily math. Then it was time for break!
Today we finally got to have break with the other class. From now on, to keep our floors, computers and room clean, we are having snack after break. Instead of having science right after break, we are doing math. We had to make another algorithm poster but for multiplying fractions. So we had to decorate it and make it neat and perfect. Everyone was working hard to get it done today. Then the bell rang for recess. Today at recess we got to play elimination. It was fun!
When we came back from lunch we did science. We did it now since we couldn’t do it earlier. We actually had to do a test on the unit. It was about all the things we learned lately. Then we did a writing thing. We are going to be writing about anything interesting that happens. We worked a little on our design a scene project too. Then it was time for jobs and to pack up and go home. Have a good weekend.

Day 54 - End of Hamlet
This morning in class we walked up the back stairs and then walked into our classroom. We unpacked our backpack from all of its contents. Then we started on our calendar math. We didn’t have any specialist today so we worked on daily math and our calendar math. We also went over homework over the time too. We needed to work on some math because we had a lot to learn. We were supposed to go to computer lab at ten o’clock. We didn’t go to computer lab at that time but at ten thirty. When we got to computer lab we are going to learn about Microsoft excel. We learned how to make graphs and how to find the average of things on the computer. It was really cool! We worked all the way up until it was our break time.
We didn’t get to have our break with the other class again. We came back for break too late so we didn’t have time to open the wall. But then we did science. We got our cucumbers out of the water and the celery leaves were red. For some people the celery stick gained weight and for others it lost weight. Then it was time for lunch so we went down to lunch.
We ate lunch and then had recess. When we came back from lunch and recess we did social studies. In social studies we did some work on a hypothesis for why people lived in certain parts of China. Then we read the last chapter of hamlet. Once we finished the book we got to make our own scene of hamlet. We could make it any time setting and any scene from the book. So we did that until it was time to pack up and do jobs. That was the end of our day.

Day 53 - Vision and hearing
This morning in class, we came in and unpacked. We did our calendar math this morning and then at 9:05 we went to music class. In music we had a substitute. I don’t know his name but he had a guitar. It was a handmade guitar. He told us a little about himself. He makes his own guitars or he makes them to sell. They were so cool! Then we played a game. It was called, “Spot the beat” We played that the whole music time. What you do to play is you make one person a detective and one person the bodyguard. There is also a person that is the beat starter. The detective and the bodyguard step out of the room. The beat starter starts the beat and then we follow along. While we start, the bodyguard makes sure the detective isn’t able to see who started the beat. Then we call the detective in and then he or she tries to see who started the beat. They get only three tries. So we played that all the way until it was time to go back to the class. When we got back we did daily math.
At break time the other class had to go to the hearing and vision tests. So we had another break without them. Then we had to cut our break short since we had to go to the vision and hearing tests too. When we came back we did science. In science we got celery sticks and then put them in red colored water (food coloring). We were testing to see if the color would go into the celery or if it would even suck anything up at all.
Then it was time for lunch. At lunch recess it was really rainy. When we came back we did social studies. We did social studies all the way until the day was done.

Day 52 - Tons of bugs
Good morning! Today we walked into our classroom we unpacked our backpacks and pulled out our binders. We sat at our desks and started on calendar math. At 9:04 we went down to PE. We did bowling again. Mr. Kolhwes was there again. Mrs. Kolhwes is at Islandwood with the fifth graders. So she will be gone until they get back. Again, we did groups and we bowled for the whole PE time. It was a fun time! So when we got back it was 9:45. Today at 10:00 we had the bug exhibit. So we did calendar math and some daily math until it was time to go to the exhibit. The exhibit was in the art and science room. When we got there we sat criss-cross and he had a power point up. There were many bugs everywhere in cages. There were also labeled boxes of dead insects. We sat down and he introduced himself. He told us a ton of things about bugs. Then he took out the bugs and held them in his hands to show us what they looked like. The bugs he showed us were a scorpion, tarantula, skunk beetles, millipede, and a centipede. We had to go back up to our class at 11:00.
When we got back we had break. We couldn’t have break with Mrs. Malloy’s class because at break time they had to go to the bug exhibit. So we had break alone for the second time this week. Then we did daily math. We didn’t have time this morning so we did it now. We worked on math all the way up until lunch time.
At lunch we got to sit wherever we wanted because the fifth graders were gone. When we came back from lunch we did social studies. In social studies we finished up gluing and making our group posters. We worked on that all the way up until 2:00. At two o’clock we read one chapter from Hamlet. We only have one chapter left and we will finish it tomorrow. Then we did a Charlotte Doyle quiz. People who haven’t finished the question paper worked on that first. We worked on that until it was time for jobs. We did jobs then P.S.V and lined up to go home.

Day 51 - Plants
This morning in class we came in and unpacked our stuff. We started to work on our calendar math but then at 9:04 we lined up for PE. We walked down to PE and we had a substitute. It was Mr. Kolhwes. Today in PE we did bowling. We set up pins and then got into groups. We bowled a lot and had a lot of fun. The bowling balls were rubber and greasy. It was a little gross but, still fun. Then it was 9:45 so we had to line up and go back to our classroom. When we got back to the class we did our daily math. In math today we learned some new things on multiplying fractions.
Then it was 10:59 and the wall opener ran to the wall and put the lever in. Then… it turned 11:00!!! Everyone ran to see their friends and have snack. We had a lot of fun snacking and talking. Then it was 11:10 so we had to close the wall. So we sat back down at our desks and were ready to learn again. So we would have normally done science right now but instead we did language arts. So we got our Houghton Mifflin and read the Charlotte Doyle story. We also got four written questions to work on while we read it. Then it was time to go to lunch and recess.
When we got back from lunch we did social studies right away. We worked on what we did last time. We continued cutting out the paper and cardboard. We finished social studies at 2:00. Then we read hamlet until about 2:30. Then we did science. We watched this video on how plants eat and live and a lot of other things. So we watched the science video. Then we worked on our Charlotte Doyle story until it was time to do jobs. Then we packed up and went home.

Day 50 - DANCE IS TONIGHT
Today is the fiftieth day of school! This morning we came in and unpacked everything we needed for school. We worked on calendar math until we had to head down to the library. In library we got the paper from last time. The research database paper that was about Babylon is what we worked on the whole time while we were there. We also had about 10 minutes for checkout out time. Some people got some really good books and others didn’t get anything. Then we came up back to class once library was over. So we came up and finished up our calendar math for the day. We went over calendar math and then moved onto the daily math. In our daily math we got to have our appointment wheel. It was our number 10. We worked on daily math until it was time for break.
Because of some roughhousing we couldn’t open up the wall today. We had to make sure and maintain our behavior or we would lose our privilege for opening the wall. So we had break alone and ate our snack alone. Then we did science. In science we looked at the seeds we had from a long time ago. The seeds had sprouted and grown a lot. When we first put them in, they were just little seeds. Now they are big roots. We did some observations and then looked at a few through the microscopes. Then it was time to go to lunch and recess.
Once recess and lunch were over we came in and did social studies right away. In social studies we worked on some questions about China. It was about the land and the area they were in. We had to cut out and make a little model of the land. We worked on social studies up until three o’clock. Then we got a climb or die quiz. As soon as we finished that small quiz we had to get another paper to go with a story called, “The true confessions of Charlotte Doyle” Some people started the reading but others still continued to work on the climb or die questions. Then at 3:20 it was time for us to do our jobs. So everyone did jobs and then we had to pack up. We packed up and got in line ready to go home.

Day 49 - District Writing Assessment
Welcome back! This morning in class we came in and went straight in to calendar math. We didn’t have dance today because we had to go to an assembly. The assembly was for Veterans Day. In the assembly we did a lot of singing and some people did some speeches for us. Then we came back up to the classroom. We went straight into our writing assessment. We worked on that all throughout the whole day. When it was time for us to do jobs, we did jobs and then pack stack and vac. Today is a Wednesday so we went home at 2:00.
