The first of many things that we did today was put our backpacks down at room 33’s classroom, went to play for couple of minutes, and when the bell rang, we went to line up in room 33’s lineup area. She told us “Please form a circle everyone and make groups of four.” When we got in our groups, Mrs. Citizen said, “Make up a classroom cheer and them when I say times up all of you will show the class your cheer.” When we were done showing the class our cheers, we lined back up and Mrs. Citizen walked us to class.
When we got back to class we did math. In math today, we got back into our groups that we had formed a few days ago. We finished up a math poster about place value, and Mrs. Citizen gave us a little paper to explain and show another way to solve a problem that she gave to us. When everyone was done Mrs. Citizen called us up by group to come up and present our thinking.
After math we gave ourself a self assessment. A self assessment is a way of rating yourself based on your understanding of things that we have been doing the past few days. We showed Mrs. Citizen our rating by putting our fingers up in the air. One is the worst and four is the best.
After we rated ourself, we worked on a website called, Go Formative. We signed in/up and it took a while. We put in our class code when the screen brought up a page that said: please enter class code. The internet was not working well so, we took a break while the teacher fixed it.
Then we started silent reading as the teacher was trying to re-connect the internet. We had to get out our Accelerated Readers folder. We read for about 15 minutes. The book I’m reading is called Cake Pop Crush.
After reading we went to see if the computer lab computers would act differently. They did not so we lined back up and walked to the pavilion because it was almost time for recess. In the pavilion we just waited quietly until the bell rang for recess.
At recess we are allowed to go to the pavilion to go buy breakfast. Today they had trail mix, yogurt, milk and a mini pizza. We can also go on the equipment and play games and go on the swings. The last thing we are allowed to do is play sports.
After recess we continued on Go Formative. Mrs. Citizen got the internet to work, but still some people had to shut down their computers and reload. When everyone was on the website, we took a little four questioned math test.
When we finished our test we read. We only read for about 10 to 15 minutes. Some people did not read because they were still working on the test.
After we finished our math test, we continued our voki that we had started a few days ago. Voki is a website that you can make slide shows with and do much more. The only thing that is different from a regular slide show is, you can have animations that you create talk.
Then we did writing. She passed back some sentences that we wrote yesterday, and chose a line to copy and add on for 10 minutes. We got to sit anywhere we wanted for this assignment.
After we did writing, we lined up to go to lunch. We got to sit on the benches. When we were done with our lunches, we went to put our lunch box back in our blue bin. After we put our lunches in the bin, we got to go play outside.
After we got back inside from playing, we put our heads down to calm ourselves down. We had our heads down for about 10 minutes. People got up a to get a little sip of water.
When we were done calming down, we got an expo marker out and went to a desk space. We got to write at the desk, what we like in the classroom, what we want to see happen, and things that need to change. Then we went around to see what other people wrote. When we got back in our seats, we shared what other people wrote.
After that was done, we had P.E.. During P.E., we do warm ups, and run two laps. We also went to a different teacher to learn a new skill about soccer.
When we were done with P.E., we copied down homework, and put our chromebooks away. We got our lunch boxes out of the bin. We finally left Highland Oaks Elementary.
