Today was a great day. Today was the “End of Summer Bash” celebration.
First we had the morning assembly. We did our shout out and Jefferson song.
After morning assembly we went into the classroom. We took everything we needed out of our backpacks. We got our chrome books from the tech people. We were not going to go on them now but we were later.
Next we got our Accelerated Reader folder and book. We read until it was time to go to ELD. ELD is a period of time that we go to other 5th grade classes to learn. We cleaned up and went to recess.
Upon returning to class we opened our chrome books. We logged into Spellingcity.com. It is a website that we use for spelling practice. We took our spelling test for last week’s words. We also had to complete our sentence practice lesson on the website.
Once that was done, we did research on our Native American tribes. We are researching 4 tribes of our choice. We gather the information using a series of websites, encyclopedias, and books.
Afterwards we had to close out everything on our chrome books. We went over our current event journal. Every week we get an article from a newspaper and use the “w” questions to make a paragraph. The second paragraph has our thoughts, questions, and/or feelings about the article.
When that was over, we went to lunch. For lunch we had nachos. Like I said today was the end of summer bash!!! There was music for dancing and hula hoops, too! The best part was the water balloons!
At 2:00 we helped Ms. Forrest with picking up popped water balloons. Mrs. Citizen said, “Hurry we only have 5 minutes.”
Finally we went back to class. We got our backpacks and packed up our stuff. We got dismissed. Today was a wonderful day.
