Picture Day

Today was picture day! It has been a confusing day. We were nervous we were not going to look our best because we had P.E. outside before our pictures were taken. In math today, we learned about divisibility, which is pretty cool. In Social Studies, we learned a little bit about the importance of the bald eagle in America, and other interesting symbols. In our classroom, we are sad that one of our geckos is sick. We hope he feels better soon! We are looking forward to having people in other countries read our blog, like Ms. Ashley's class in Germany.

Come back soon!

An Exciting Second Day

It is fun going to school! Today, we presented our "Me Bags" to the rest of the class. Inside them, we had items that represent us in our own way. Outside at recess, we learned that the fort is being torn down because it is unstable and dangerous. We got our class jobs today, some of us enjoyed it. We are learning to try different jobs, and sometimes have to do jobs we don't like. At the beginning of school, we did a D.O.L. to work on grammar and punctuation of paragraphs. Today, we switched classes and got to meet our math teacher, Mrs. Taylor, and tried a mad minute in her class. Some of us passed! We had to do hard work in P.E. today- lots of push ups and sit ups. Also, we made All About Me posters with pictures that we are going to hang in class. We also came up with lists of things we can and can't do. Today was an exciting day for us. We can't wait to enjoy our weekend off. Come see us Monday when we have new things to talk about that you will enjoy!

First Day of School

So far, today has not been a bad day. We got to meet the class hedgehogs named Mea and Sonic. They are pointy. They are easily scared, and nocturnal. We also learned about the geckos, one might be sick. We learned about Noodles, the class hamster. In gym class we ran a mile, it was hard work and tiring. We've used the Turning Point clickers to get to know each other. Tonight we have to create "Me Bags" so the class can get to know us. We got to meet Ms. Manoni too! We learned all of the important procedures for our school. We get to start Social Studies Monday! At recess, we were not allowed on the fort, which was hard to do, and talked to our friends from last year. Some of us have cousins in other classes. In a few hours we have an assembly with the whole 5th grade. You should mind your teacher!

5th grade is so fun! Come back and see the rest of our posts throughout the year!
