In the morning, the class went over the homework we had homework over the weekend. The only thing we had to do is let our parents sign three papers for Pathfinder Ranch, an educational camp, and an IPod Flashcards note. Mr. Coley also talked about our new magazine looking Science Weekly. Mr. Coley said” A pencil and highlighter might not work on this new issue.” So Mr. Coley tried the pencil and it worked by pressing hard on the paper. The highlighter also worked by just highlighting and blowing. We also looked at the classroom jobs. We had the jobs for a long time now, so we had to change them.

After refreshing our classroom jobs, we went on to states and capitals. We had to take out our states and capitals flashcards and added six more states from week four, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. We drew the states, wrote the capital, and wrote the abbreviation.

Following states and capitals was writing. We continued our response to literature writing about Where the Red Fern Grows, half the class was on their final draft. The other half was on their rough draft conclusion paragraph. Whoever didn’t finish had to do it for homework.

Next was The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. We started chapter ten, The Spell Begins to Break. It was about the Wicked Witch on her sledge coming toward the children. It was also about Father Christmas finally coming to Narnia. We started our story map with our someone wanted but so. The main characters were the Beavers and the helpful children.

Then, we started our colony creation. The groups that finished their posters kept continuing on their story map. Our colony was called Colwaii. Our colony has a plantation that pays workers. We tried to be fair and have no slaves.

At recess, it was windy and cold. It was hard to play football in the weather. A few of my friends were playing wall ball. Most of my friends played football with me.

During math time, we did some review. We also corrected homework that was delayed on Friday. After those ten to fifteen minutes we had a quiz that took over the rest of the day. The people who finished got their homework. After math the other students that didn’t finished got their homework.

At lunchtime, the 5th graders ate chicken crispito. While playing at recess the football players that had hats, their hats flew off. It was a close game, 21-14 to be exact.

After lunch, the class got our paychecks out. We got a fresh post-it, wrote the date and due date, and the CRS agent came around to get our total money and what we want to keep. In the last few minutes of the day Mr. Coley announced the quiet seat. It was Drew.

After school, I had band. It was mostly review and the band members got a flyer that said “Fundraiser night at Wienershnitzel 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.” We got a song called Power Rock. I looked for some songs and found the Flintstone theme and Sax to the Max.
