Today we made our lunch choice. Then I went to the library. I love the library! I checked out my books and left. It’s band time!
Today in band I put my instrument together and learned a new note. (For the saxophones the note was C). I don’t know all the notes we learned. (It’s a lot!) That’s all for band.
Music time, I love music! We sat down when I got there. I sat next to Emily, she’s my friend. Anyway, we watched a movie. I did not like it. It was about meter.
Math time–I sat next to Andrea in class. She’s nice, very nice! Today we looked at story problems. (Easy.) We did a worksheet. I helped Andrea. Reading time now!
We are doing a worksheet on persuading people to your topic. I moved to the front because I could not see. I finished it. Done! We started a syllable poster until it was time for recess.
Ring, ring ring. Recess. Today at recess I talked to Sara. She broke her arm like me, but I broke it last year, not this year. I also talked to Veronica. She’s my best friend. Lunch time.
To buy lunch was a horror story for me today. I did not like the pizza. (Yuck).
I got study hall time today. I finished my late homework. And I read some of my book, The Ghost’s Grave. (It’s a good book.)
Awards assembly. Some of my friends got awards: Fiona and Logan and Rachel.
I forgot what happened next, but at the end of the day I did my jobs, then we got our mand instruments and left the building.

Today I was late for school, but enough about me, let’s hear more about the rest of the class .The first thing we did after I got unpacked was band. I can’t tell you what happened in band because me, Juwan, Hannah and Kassandra were in study hall. We read and did unfinished work.
Then we went to the assembly and they talked about a school fund raiser and this one guy said that these toy pigs went really fast but when he turned it on it went really slow. We all laughed at that.
Then we went to music. We did something in our journals and books.
Then we did math. We wrote some stuff down and had a math test.
Then we had language arts. We did this one thing with folding this big paper into sections and wrote some 1syllable words and we talked about opinions. Then we had recess and lunch.
Then we switched for social studies. We had a test and read and had homework handed out.
Then we switched back for science. We wrote some notes down. Then we all got ready to leave and then we left for home. Well, th, th, th, th, th, th, that’s all folks.

After math we did Reading. We were working on our examples about Lupe and Julio.
Next is Language ARts. We learned about the PENS and MARK strategies and wrote our five sentences.
Finally the moment we’ve all been waiting for, next. Recess! Lots of people did the mileage club. Some people played kickball. Some people played basketball. Even some people played on the play set. Next we had lunch.

Tuesday morning we walked in, greeted Ms. Morris and put our things away, sat down, and put our gym shoes on for after band class.
Here we are in band class, everyone is so excited! We put together our instruments and played our first two lines in our band books. Then the saxophone, flute, oboe, and clarinet learned how to clean their instruments. Now we are going to pack up our instruments and head to gym class!
Finally, Gym class. Mr. B. told us to go to our squads. The squads are Fats, Meats, Dairy, Fruits, and last but not least Veggies. After that we played a game called “The Snake.” There was a header who picked the food up, then passed it back to the next person in line, then once it got to the second to last person threw it in the bag. When we were done playing that game we all did our warm up card game. Everyone had a blast doing that little activity. Then we went down to the track to run a mile for the Presidential Fitness Test. Did you know that four times around the track is one mile? (That counts for every track.) Rachel and Juwan were the first ones to finish. When everybody was don we all went back to the gym and had a talk with Mr. B. Then he told us we had a frowny face. Then Ms. Morris came to pick us up.
When we got back to the classroom we grabbed our snacks and sat down for math class. We learned about “some and some more.” Then we did the practice set on our white boards. We had no time to do our lesson practice.
Reading time today we are finishing “The Marble Champ”. It was a great story. I wonder if they have a bigger version of “The Marble Champ”
Language Arts time in class. We are learning about simple sentences. They are fun to learn about because when we write we each have certain topics to write about when we do those kinds of activities in Language Arts.
RECESS! Everybody loves recess because of the mileage club. It is a hit at recess. Now we go to lunch.
Now we are back in the classroom and reading A.R. Then after A.R. we are having writing journals. It is Writing Journal time and Rachel is sharing today, so I know that it is going to be good.
Time for Social Studies. Today we have a test. I hope everyone does a great job today.
Wow! This day is just flying by. NOw it is already time for Maps and Globes and Graphs. That is a fun book to work out of.
Time to go home already. That is the end of the second day of the fourth week. Have a great day tomorrow classmates!

Other – Harmonica Lessons 6:30 at City Hall with the performer from our assembly today. It costs 25 dollars, but with that money you get lessons, a good harmonica, and a book
We came in Monday morning and put away our stuff and sat down. We got out our planners, and turned in our Friday update sheets. We got everything ready for our math and our band transition. Then we took the time to talk for a minute about different stories that had happened to us during our weekend.
Next, we got our band books if we needed them and went down to band. We worked on putting half of our instruments together. (Some people even got to put their WHOLE instrument together). We sat in our chairs and waited for the band instructor to tell us what to do. It can be boring sometimes to wait, but it is important because the different sections all need a chance to learn. All of the sections also got to learn how to play the different notes on their instruments. After band, we went to library. When we walked in, we noticed Mrs. Smaltz wasn’t there. Ms. Loker was there instead as our sub. In library we learned about a book. The title was Grasshopper Summer. Ms. Loker said that you would like Grasshopper Summer if you like the series Little House on the Prairie. In math we did a couple of timed tests. We got back our tests from Friday. Most students were happy or very happy with how they did. Overall they thought it was a pretty easy test. In math we learned about equality and about how 37 + M = 50. We had to subtract 37 from 50 and then when we get our answer, that would be M. This is called missing addends. After math was Language Arts. We made subject and verb cards with words from our individual topics. We talked about what good writing is and isn’t. We took notes about complete sentences. After Language Arts we did a read aloud of the story The Marble Champ. Then we read in partners to read more of the story. After we were done with Language Arts we went to recess! We had fun. Some people played kickball. Some people did the mileage club. Some people played on the playground set. Some people had singing competitions. After recess was lunch, and then A.R. time. This week we are getting to read around the room, and three people are getting to read on the couch each day. Everyone must be enjoying their books, because when A.R. time was over some students had a hard time putting their books away. After A.R. reading time was read aloud. We began a new book, No Talking, by Andrew Clements. It is about a fifth grade boy named Dave who has decided to see if he can go a whole day without talking. We read one chapter, and then we had to stop, even though many kids groaned and wanted Ms. Morris to read more. When we were done with read aloud it was writing journal time. Today’s invitation was “write about fall”. Many students continued to work on stories, but some students really did write about fall, and had some interesting pieces to read. We did not have social studies or science today because instead we had a Tuba Bach assembly after our writing journal time, where we got to hear a famous bluegrass harmonica player. He told us about a class that you could take at City Hall tonight for $25. He also played songs on his harmonica using words from students, including Hannah’s Igga-flyga-fleega-flyga-ishka-nishka-niiga-niiga-igga-flyga-fleega-flyga-birdie! She got to go up on stage and say it into the microphone and he recorded it and used it in making his song! After our exciting assembly we came back to the classroom and worked together to write the Roving Reporter entry you are reading! We talked about Roving Reporter and how it would work, and Ms. Morris typed while we all helped come up with ideas. After this it was time to fill out our planners and do our end of the day jobs. We did not have planner sheets, so we used notebook paper. We got everything together and then lined up at the door. Today was a record temperature hot day for fall, but we survived! -by the whole class, including Ms. Morris
