In the morning we ran four laps.  When we came back to the classroom, our song to unpack was “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor.

Then we did our reflections.  When I finished my reflection, I read my book.

Next we had language arts.  We did practice book, page 83, which was seeing if we knew what our vocabulary words meant.

After that, we got a new weekly assignments sheet, I got a peach one and some people got a green one.  Since we did not finish page 83 in our practice book, we had to write it in our weekly assignment sheet.  We also wrote our reading goal for the week.

For spelling, we talked about plurals, where you change a “y” to an “i” and add “es”.  An example of this would be; changing fly to flies.  Then we added page 91 to our assignment sheet.  We talked about were to put an apostrophe and why you put it there.  We also added page 92 to our assignment sheet.

On pages 164 and 165 in our Treasures Book, we read “The Healing Power of Plants”, “Earthkeeping”, and “The Biodiversity Man”.  We read with our seat partner and I read with Danell.

After that we did a brain break.  Our brain break was to stand in a circle with your group and put your pointer finger in the hand of the palm of the person next to you.  The teacher would start talking and randomly say, “gotcha”, when she said that, you had to grab the persons finger that was in your palm and pull your finger out of the other persons palm, before they got you!

Next, we talked about what a personal narrative is, what it means, what it about, and what words you would see.  Some words you would see are, “I, me, my, etc.”

We talked about some topics you could use for personal narratives.  Then we talked about what text features are.  Then we watched Mrs. Slezinger re-modeled power point presentation about personal narratives.

We wrote a brain storm about a topic that we could write five paragraphs about, then the song, “The Climb”, by Miley Cyrus came on, and we got ready for math.

For math, we did lesson 5-5, problem solving.  We did #1, 4, 5 & 6 in our hard-book.  Our clean up song for lunch, “Count on Me”, by Bruno Mars came on.

When we came back from lunch, we had to try to finish our quick-check.  If we did not finish that, it would be homework.

In social studies, we did work on the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch.  We then talked about finding our more about the Presidential candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

We then came back to our classroom for science.  We wrote the definition of “seriate” and “thermometer”.  We looked at the outcome of an experiment we did on Friday.  I tested how much water was left in the flat lid.

When “Count on Me”, by Bruno Mars came on again we packed up and went home.
