Today is October 17, 2016. This is what we did in the period of time 8:20 AM- 2:35 PM.
In the beginning, we all lined up for class after morning recess. Our sub was a little late so we had to wait for a while until she came. When she came we walked to where we usually do our morning circle. She made us do it very quickly and only one person got to share in our group. We quickly got our things and went into class.
As soon as we all got settled down, We got our chromebooks and our substitute teacher, Mrs. Crooms gave us directions on what to do. She had told us to do XtraMath, Front Row Fluency, and GoFormative. We did all these activities until 9:50 AM.
At 9:50 Am, we got our library books out because we were going to the library. We usually go to the library at 1:30 PM, but today we went early. We all lined up outside, and then we walked to the library quietly with our hands peacefully behind our backs. When we got there we neatly put our books in the cart. Mrs. Johnson which is the librarian was helping at that time at the cart. We took a random browsing stick, and went to find books. When most of us were ready to check out they let us check out. All you have to do is type in your ID number, and then they scan it for you. When we were all checked out we left the library quietly and got back into our classroom.
Afterwards, we got back in the class and read for about 30 minutes. Some of us read outside, and some of us read inside. It was very calm inside, but I wasn’t sure outside because I read inside. We all read until recess started.
At 10:30, recess started. There was a lot of things to play. For example you could play four square, punch ball, tether ball, spider, basketball, soccer, football, go on the swings or playground ground equipment, and you could make up your own game. Recess ends at 10:45 AM for fourth and fifth graders. When recess ended we lined up and walked back to class.
After that, Mrs. Crooms announced “We will now be doing the USA studies weekly week 1”. She asked the paper passers to pass out USA studies weekly week 1. We first read the first part of the newspaper. Some of us read out loud. Then we read the United States of America’s seven natural regions, and diversity. After that reading we had to do the crossword puzzle which wasn’t that tricky to me.
Then, we were told to go onto newsela. We had to read the article that was called Planting the seed for college in fifth-grade classrooms. We had to all follow the directions. One of them was to highlight words that you don’t know and look up the word on dictionary.com. When you have the definition you have to write it in the margins.
At 12:24 PM, lunch started. We got ready two minutes earlier. We took our lunches from the bin and lined up to go to the pavilion where we eat our food. I had fried rice for lunch and had juice for a drink. After a time being they let us go play. Lunch recess is the same thing as regular recess but I think that lunch recess is longer.
After lunch, we had core plus. This was our first time doing this in fifth grade. Our class got Mrs. Kish. We learned about the three types of matter which is solid, liquid, and gas. We watch a video about it, and took notes in our science notebook. Most of this information to me is very interesting.
Once Core Plus was done, we walked peace fully back to our class and did our wonderopolis blog. We read the article, and then watched the video. We had to make a circle map for notes. After we did that we had to answer the questions on try it out.
Finally, It was the end of school. Before the end of school we put our chromebooks, and technology folders away and packed up. We were dismissed by Mrs. Crooms, so everyone left.
I had a very fantastic day. I love all the activities we did today, and learned a lot of things today. I wish that we could do this again.
