Today we came in at 8:00 a.m. and we had a substitute teacher because Ms. Jensen had a meeting today.  All the rest of the class came in on time except two people.  Then we started our first assignment: the Logic Link Puzzle.  That's a quiz where we use chips to solve the questions.  When we were done we put our chips away.  Next, we started Music. We did warmups by humming sounds.  After we hummed, we sang a couple of songs.  After that, we did our spelling pre-test which was twenty words we had to spell for practice.  Next we corrected the words, if we got 100% we wouldn't have to take the real test on Friday.
 
 Our next assignment was Language. We learned how to make singular possesive nouns. For homework we did page 27 in our Language workbook.  We got a heads start on it and if we didn't finish it, it would be homework.  Finally, we had our snack breack and ate our snacks and played.  When we returned, we reviewed Religion as we were not able to work on it this morning.  We quickly moved to Math.  Also, before we talked about our Math lesson, we did a warm up which had to be completed in one minute.  After that we did problem solving.  Then we began our real Math lesson which was about probability and chance.
 
 We did seven examples before we proceeded with the lesson practice.  The lesson practice was twelve questions.  Our substituted teacher let us start on our homework early, after we finished our lesson practice.  
Finally, we went to lunch, ate our lunches, and played for 40 minutes. As soon as we returned from lunch we began reading Social Studies pages 188-193. The pages we read were mostly about the middle colonies. When we finished reading we did an indipendent page in our workbook; page 33.  Our subject was Science.  We read pages B16 to B21.  We read about molecules, compounds, atoms and the periodic table.  When we finished reading, we worked on four questions about what we had read.  Next, our teacher let us play games and complete most of our homework.  We did this for the last thirty minutes of class.  Then we wrote down our assignments and left school for the day.
