The day started when my teacher, Ms. Jensen, picked up the fifth grade class from the schoolyard and took us to the classroom to start the school day. It is Friday and boy am I happy that I get to sleep in tomorrow. The first thing the class did was study in Religion class about Saints who are recognized as champions. We then went on to study the new vocabulary words. Next, our teacher handed out a “Time for Kids” magazine that has articles about how water is decreasing very fast, how a boy made a difference, and who won the “Picture of the day” for Earth Day ( It was a picture of baby Hawksbill turtles going to the ocean for the first time). We again wrote out our own questions about the articles and wrote them on the white board and corrected the questions. We moved on to Spelling and checked our workbook pages.
Next, cam our spelling test. The students who got 100% on their spelling pretest were exempt. Reading stations were next (Library, computers, writer’s workshop, and reading comprehension). We were surprised with a Time for Kids pop quiz to test us about how much we learned about what is going on in the world and the questions happened to be the questions we posted up on the board.
Our reading test was next and the story was about a guy that makes foolish choices to impress a girl but at the end he becomes her French tutor. All of a sudden it was Recess! It was a good recess chasing, talking, and eating with my friends. There was a bake sale going on and we bought donuts and milk. Too soon the bell rang telling us it was time to go back to class. When everybody got inside it was time to finish reading station assignments and when everybody finished they could read for a little while.
Afterwards, came math class and we had a timed test, did some mental math, took notes on the lesson, and had a pop quiz. Lunch time arrived and I had a lot more fun with my friends and ate a delicious lunch.
Once lunch was over we all went inside and had the last quiz of the day. It was in Social Studies class and we had a test on locating and spelling the States and Capitols of the northeastern States correctly. We then had a surprise when my friend Brooke stopped by to visit the class. Brook had been on vacation with her mom and had been lucky to go on a nice cruise. Our teacher was also happy and surprised to see Brooke. On Monday she will be back and class and we will all welcome her back again. After the visit we had to add unknown information to our State worksheets for another 45 minutes. Soon we were writing down our weekend assignments in our Assignment Book. We packed up our things and were ready to start the weekend. What a wonderful day in Ms. Jensen’s 5th Grade Classroom
