We started off with Morning Business. When we do Morning Business, we write down our homework and check our boxes. We had 3x each, vocabulary poster, and literature circles job, for homework. In my box, I had my graded Science weekly. I got 100%.

During spelling, we graded our crossword puzzles. I got 100%. One of the words was countless. After that, we graded our Science Weekly. I got 100%. One of the questions was, this is the fuel that powers the machines of our world? The answer is petroleum.

In reading, we read a story called, The Fear Place. It’s about a boy and his brother who have a fight.  Then, one of them goes and climbs a mountain. The brother has to go find him. But, on the way there is a ledge that is his fear place. It takes a while, but he finally makes it by and finds his brother.

During vocabulary, we made posters.  We folded a paper into four sections. Then, we got a word and put it the first box. Next, we put a picture of the word in the second section. After that, we put the definition in the third box, and a sentence in the fourth.  My word was discomfort. Once we finished vocabulary, we worked on our ColeyCast.  My groups ColeyCast is about the lost colony of Roanoke.

Today was fun day. During fun day I brought in a game called Pit.  I played with Blake, Devin, and Shawn.  Pit is when you try to get nine cards of the same thing. While you are trying to get your cards, you have to pass other cards to the next person.  Next, Devin and I played chess. We got bored and gave up. Then I played Twister. I was on a roll. After that, I drew on the board. I made a guy named Bill. He was ugly.

After recess, I started doing my literature circles job. This week I am word finder.  I have to find words I don’t know and look them up. There are five words I have to find.  One of my words was conundrum. It means problem.

When we were reading Where The Red Fern Grows  Billy pulls the axe from Rubens stomach. Then he died. Billy told his parents what happened. He also told Rubens family. They did not take it well. Billy had nightmares about what happened. Billy felt so bad that he even brought flowers to Rubens grave.  Later, when he was at his Grandpa’s store he saw an add for a championship coon hunt. Then, Mr. Coley said, “you are dismissed.” And that was Thursday, November 19th.
