1 more student who needs to return a band shirt
Hello fellow cougars, Emily reporting today on the happenings in room 36, also known as Ms. Morris’s fifth grade class. Today is Tuesday, February 19 and it is our first day back from the long President’s Day weekend.
The first things we did today was morning business. Things like picking our lunch and getting ready for band. Ms. Morris also welcomed us back and she told us to make sure we turn in our late work and our late slips. Most of the class then lined up for band. Everyone was acting like wild animals and running around. Ms. Morris told us we should all quiet down, and talked about the importance of staying quiet. We made it down to band in what seemed like record time, vroom.
The class poured into the band room like a bug ball of crazy people. We all attacked the “band cave” at once. It looked like a bunch of fish stuck in a net. We all finally retrieved our instruments, turned in our practice cards, and sat in our assigned seats. Ms. M. taught us about new notes and new emphasizing notes. We played a small series of Christmas music, and some old music that we played numerous times. I have to say that we are sounding pretty darn good. We have come a long way since the beginning of the year, and all thanks to Ms. Mitchell. At the end of band we put our instruments away and lined up for gym.
In gym we learned how to double-dutch with a jump rope. The girls had to chase the boys to make them jump into the ropes. The boys were “butt bouncing” and the girls were doing twirl cross spin jump, and jump-in then twirl. At the end of gym Mr. B told us to line up. We were returning to Ms. Morris’s class for math. Ms. Morris led our quiet and exausted class upstairs to room 36.
Next, it was math, not my favorite subject. We learned about splitting up fractions and subtracting them. Math time was very quiet because we were all concentrating on learning the new fraction techniques. After math was time for ELA. We read a story called “The Tale of the Yupik Eskimos”. It did not interest me much because it was non-fiction and the story was fat and long. Finally, it was time for recess, and we scrambled down the steps just to find out it was inside recess. People stil had a wild recess by acting crazy. We filed into lunch where most people chosebetween spaghetti or corn dogs. After lunch we quietly went to AR.
AR was nice and quiet today as we all read our own books and some of us took AR tests. Social Studies was next with Miss Bellgowan. We learned about early Russia and we had to fill out our hand-outs for our unit assignment test on Early Russia. I also learned that the “c” in czar is silent. We had to take our work home if we did not finish it at school. We then went back to Ms. Morris’s class for science.
In science we learned about heat changes. Then, before we realized it was the end of the day. We all got some great news that was unexpected. Our fifth grade class is going to have a talent show. Just as we were celebrating the news Ms. Morris told us to et ready to go home.
The dial-a-ride kids have to line up early, which includes me. This has to be the end of today’s roving reporter. Until next time, this has been Emily reporting.
In the morning, Miss Morris talked about our character quality and then we quickly lined up at the door for band. In band, Miss Mitchell said to us that we might have scripts of music instead of our band book (yeaaa!).
After band the class went to the library. Not too many people checked books out today, but instead got a comfy cushion and sat down on the big library mat and read our good books instead. When we came back to the classroom, we ate snack and did our math quickly.
Miss Morris explained that in reading we were going to learn astronomy. Miss Morris then passed out green and blue sheets of paper for us to write down questions we had about astronomy and the things we knew about astronomy. As we were doing the assignment, Rachel wanted to know if we could live on Mars, so then I wanted to know if there were such things as aliens and this started a huge conversation.
Finally, we simmered down and Miss Morris told us that we were going to have a spelling pre-test, only one of the words was very, very hard and complicated most of us. The word was prerequisite, and I thought to myself, I know I have heard that word before. I am going to ask my mom and dad about this word when I get home.Miss Morris collected our pretest and everyone lined up at the door for recess (double yeaaa!).
After inside recess and lunch, Miss Morris said we could choose between reading our A.R. book or writing in our novel. A.R. was over in a flash. Miss Morris read us a book called No Talking! Then she said it was time for social studies. Miss Bellgowan passed back our social studies tests. We then read the first chapter in the section from Reformation. Then finally, we went into Miss Morris’s room for science. We watched a movie about atoms and they split mercury bubbles in half. (Woo hoo). After the movie, we packed up our stuff and left school for the day. When I got home, I asked my mom and dad what prerequisite meant, and they said I would hate it when I became a college student. Prerequisite means that you would have to take a class before you take a class that you need to take. This makes no sense to me now.

In the morning everyone went to band. We had tons of fun. Then we went to music and Mrs. T passed back our tests. We did good! Finally we flew up the flight of stairs to our class, and gulped down our snack. Then we ran to get our gum and MEAP tests and we quickly bubbled our tests and Ms. Morris picked them up. Everyone did their math and we ran wildly and screamed through the halls down to recess. Most of the girls broke the boys’ ear drums like shattered glass. Then we calmly went to lunch.
We all went upstairs and read quietly and got our social studies books. Then we fumbled out the door to social studies. We all sat down and Miss B passed back our tests and she said that some of us did not do a good job. Finally she said we would retake the test on Monday.
Then we lined up in an orderly fashion and headed back to class. Then we all seemed to get jumbled up into a ball and roll down the hall to get our backpacks. Then Ms. Morris dismissed the band and dial-a-ride students and we all went home.
