Monday, 1/5/2009 Reported By: Sydni

Today was the first day of school of the New Year; it was great to see my teacher and classmates.  Our first lesson was religion, we did unit two review pages 110-111.  The chapter was about living the cardinal virtues; a virtue is the habit of doing well that helps you grow in love for God.  Next, we got our privacy folders and we did our spelling pretest. I didn’t do to well; I got to take the spelling test on Friday.  Once that was done we were assigned The Jensen’s journalists, of course it was I.  We also corrected our Choose Your Own Adventure stories.  My story is about a girl who goes to her friend’s party and gets trapped in the castle. 

Surprisingly, we did Social Studies early; we usually do Social Studies after lunch. We are on Chapter 5, New England Colonies. We learn about the growing season in New England, Town meetings in Massachusetts, Dissenter and Industry.  After reading the chapter we worked in our social studies workbook. We were also assigned to color a cover page for social studies.  Finally, we had snack, during snack my friends and i talked about our Christmas vacation. 

When snack was over we looked over our math test, Ms. Jensen wasn’t a happy camper.  I was disappointed about my grade too.  We were told to open our math book to page 319, Investigation 5. Investigation 5 was about focusing on graphing, I understood the assignment.  Afterwards, we went to lunch, my friends and I continue to talk about Christmas. 

When that was over, we continued math, we were handed a logic puzzle. In Science, we did a little experiment on elements. We observed different objects using a magnify glass like a paper clip, penny, graphite in a pencil, and aluminum foil. We also finished reading in our science book B8-B15 and we did lesson I review numbers 1-4.  The science experiment was very interesting and enjoyable. If we finished our assignment early we were allowed to work on homework. The day was ending, at 2:45 we wrote our homework in our agenda and got packed up; it is time to go home.
