This morning Ms. Jensen picked us up from the school yard.  We started our morning with Religion.  After Religion, we took a dictation test which is when Ms. Jensen says a sentence, and we have to write it down exactly how she said it.  Later in the morning, Ms. Jensen made an announcement that the bank was going to be open today.  That was exciting because I needed to withdraw some money because I was very low on money. 

Next, it was time for Language Arts and we learned about combining sentences and compound subjects.  Finally, the bell rang for Snack time and my friends and I ate our snacks and talked about girl stuff.  When snack was over, we returned to class to do Math.  We learned about angles and we were also reminded that we have a test on Friday.  After Math, Ms. Jensen gave us a ton of math vocabulary that we did in class and we even had time to do our Math homework.  Shortly after, the bank opened and I went to the bank to make a withdrawal.

When the bell rang, it was time for lunch.  During lunch I ate and played with my friends.  Today, lunch time was fun.  After lunch, Ms. Jensen gave us a Social Studies quiz and we did some work in our workbooks.  When we finished Social Studies, we watched a video tape about Plain Indians and it was very interesting.  It was about how they lived and what they did for a living.  I learned that Plain Indians were very smart people. 

After the movie, we went to P.E. Following P.E.  we were dismissed to go home.

The school bell rung at 8am in the morning. We went into out classroom and Ms. Jensen had already put our homework that had to be turned in on the board.  We removed everything from our backpacks and put them on their hangars.  Then we recorded our results about our fungi experiment in our science workbook. No one in our class has grown any fungi except our teacher.  I find that mysterious.   Next we did our reading stations. Then we went to the library.  The librarian taught us about biographies.  We each had to write three facts that we learned about different famous people.  I wrote my facts about Jackie Robinson.

     Then we went to recess and jumped rope.  I wish I knew how to double dutch.  Then we returned back to our classroom to do our math lesson.  This math lesson we learned about multiples of a number.  Next was language arts where we learned about nouns and subjects.  Then we went to lunch and we played tag. It was hot outside but it was still fun to run around.

     We headed back upstairs for social studies.  We learned about southwest Indians and watched a movie about them. The main crop for these Indian was corn and they wove baskets with cedar bark. We then took a quiz.  Next we had a chance to work any assignments that were unfinished.

Then it was time to pack up and go home.

  This morning Ms. Jensen brought us to the class.  Our whole class read the morning announcement to see what to do this morning.  It said we have to check our science project, which is a piece of bread and a tomato to see if it has grown fungi after a week.  My old group which was Hippos had no fungi what so ever, the food was just soggy from the water I had put in it.  After that we did religion which was page 61.  When we all finished that we went near the corner of the class to pray the rosary.  Every day after praying the rosary we all pray to Mary asking her to keep us safe and blessed.  Today though, we talked about how to act better in church.  I think talking about that will have everyone thinking about how to act better.  For our weekly book we read the Marble Champ.

 

            When we finished that we talked about Book-it, it is a book project that we read a book and write down how many minutes we read for.  I think it will be fun because at the end of October if we add up how many minutes we read for and it comes up to 1,000 minutes in all we get a free kid box, of Papa Johns pizza!  Once that was threw, everyone did reading stations.  Our group, the Giraffes did comprehension questions and a vocab. weekly reading worksheet.  Now it was snack!  Afterwards we talked about our new criterion assignment.  It was about who we would like to have president and it had to be someone we new.  Finally it was math, during math we had to do page 18 in our workbook.  Our math notes today were about mixed numbers.  They are easy! When we finished that, we worked on our math homework for 20 minutes.  Finally lunch, I was very happy for lunch to come so I could work on Book-it.  Then after lunch we corrected social studies.

 

            After correcting we watched a video about the early Indians.  I say the movie is full of great facts.  Then Tuesday packets, when everyone was passing out papers our group was talking and I think that’s why we didn’t get to pass papers out.  Oops! While everyone was passing papers we were writing down our assignments for tonight.  What I like the best about the end of the day is that we can finally work on the Halloween puppet show that me and Anthony are partners on.  It’s very fun!!

YAHOOO!!!! I’TS PAY DAY! J Wow, it’s already October. I got to school and saw people had things to sell to the class. Everybody is selling old toys and books and trying to get a lot of class cash for the auction of the video store.

             When the bell rang Ms. Jensen came out and took us into the classroom. When we got in the classroom, morning announcements were up on the board and there was also a funny Garfield comic strip. Next, people were doing the rebus puzzle. I think I got it right! We were supposed to do handwriting but I was to busy filling out papers for today’s deposit.

             Soon after that we went to the library. I didn’t get any books today because I already have too much to read! When we got back from the library we immediately started taking our ITBS test. After we did about 3 tests in the book it was time for SNACK!! Then it was time for ITBS tests again. We did so many tests that by the time we finished it was time for lunch! Then, of course, when we got back in the classroom we had to do our ITBS test. L! I’m just glad that we had free time after that. YES! It’s time to pack our bags and go home!!!

ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN 5th GRADE!!!!!!!! :-) :-)

Hello today my name is Kim and I am the Jensen’s Journalist for today. Ms.Jensen came down the stairs to pick us up from outside. We walked up the stairs to room five. When we walked in the classroom, there were worksheets on everyone’s desk. When everybody was settled in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Morning Prayer came on the intercom. Once that was over everyone, sat down and started the worksheet.

 When everyone finished we were suppose to exam an experiment that we started the day before. After that, we corrected the worksheet we just did. Then we corrected our review in our religion book. Right after we did the Chapter 2 Test in religion. Ms. Jensen bought us our ITBS test books to our desk. Then the bell rang for us to have snack. Once snack was over it was time for math.

 Ms. Jensen passed back our math test we took the day before. We then did ITBS test again until ten minutes before lunch. With that left over time, she gave us free time! Then the bell rang for lunch, we played jump rope. When we got back in Ms. Jensen said, “We are going to start a book report that is due October 24^th.” Then when she was done telling us about it, we started to do the Tuesday Packets. When we finished with that, we did more ITBS testing for the rest of the day. Then the bell rang for us to go home!

Well, the end of September is almost here.  Ms. Jensen, as usual, greeted us in the play yard and brought us into class.  We started our day by unpacking our backpacks and starting to write a quote down from the board and then turn in our words of the week. Then we started religion class.  The lesson learned today was about how to love and respect your neighbor.  

 

After religion we started music. We were given a worksheet about Musical Spelling and Can You Name Them to complete. Next, we sang a song and then all too soon music class was over.  Then we started our I.T.B.S testing.  After the first test was done we had snack time {yeah!}

  

After recess we corrected our math assignments and started a timed test.  After that we had a math test.  I think I did well on my test but was happy it was over and that we could now read for a while. Lunchtime and play time came next. When we returned to class we had more I.T.B.S. tests with the class. After that I did a puzzle packet which was very fun and easy.

 

Science class soon came and we are going to observe fungus for the next seven days and write what happens.  I continued to work on the puzzle packet and started to read for a little while before we had to do one more I.T.B.S. test.  After that last test for the day I read my library book.  Soon I had to start writing down the homework for tonight which was real easy!  My homework is to have a goodnight sleep and have a healthy breakfast tomorrow. After that I put my binder in my backpack and went outside to leave. What a different type of school day we had today.  My favorite part was writing down my homework!  It feels good to be a part of St.Timothy School.
