Reported by Desarae

Hello, my name is Desarae and I will be your roving reporter for today. I arrived to school at 8.26. I played tetherball with my friends. The bell rang and it was time to go to our classroom. Mr. Coley said, “Good Morning” to everybody when we walked in the door. He told us to get out our homework and put it aside for review. Then he told the class to start the DMA.  DMA stands for Daily Morning Activity. I never knew that. I don’t do DMA because I am in the Read 180 program with Mrs. Johnson.  I proceeded to Mrs. Johnson’s classroom to start the program.

Mrs. Johnson said we were going to start rotations early today. She assigned rotations centers to the class. I was assigned to the computer program. The computer program contains Word Zone, Spelling Zone and Success Zone. Next, I went to the independent reading rotation. I was reading a booked called Why My Soul was Taken. It is about a Negro man who soul got taken by an evil witch. I am not done reading the book. Hopefully I would complete the book in two weeks. After that, I went to small group rotation and Mrs. Johnson told us to turn to page 166 in our Read 180 Notebooks. In big bolded letters, it said “Pet Tiger Attack”. It is a story about a man who had a pet tiger in his apartment. The tiger bit off a part of his leg and arm. After reading the story, we started the cause and effect assignment. A cause and effect is when we identify cause and effect in a sentence. For an example, “the gray cat saw the shaggy dog sitting in a dark corner”. The cause is shaggy and the effect is dark. After I was done, Mrs. Johnson shook the coconut for us to sit at our desks. Mrs. Johnson gave us our homework for tonight and then she dismissed us to return to class.

I arrived to my class and they were starting the Social Studies Test. I sat down and started to take the test with assistance from Mr. Coley. After the test, Mr. Coley said to get out our Math stuff. Then Mr. Coley dismisses us to go to recess. I played tetherball again with my friend Sarah. The bell rang and I lined up in front of the classroom. Mr. Coley said to go to your assigned math classroom. I am assigned to Mr. Coley’s Math class.  He asked us to pull put our math homework for review. He gave a ticket to each student who completed his or her homework. The ticket is used for a drawing on Friday to get candy. Next, Mr. Coley taught us Improper to Mixed Fractions. One of them was to convert improper fraction 1 2/5th to fraction. The answer was 7/5. After that, we reviewed the math facts flash cards. Mr. Coley assigned our homework and gave us three licorices for doing a great job.  He dismissed us to go to lunch.

For lunch, we had burgers with chips. It was okay but I’d rather have a burrito with cookies. The ball rang for lunch recess. I played tetherball again with my friends. We also discussed the book W.T.F.G (Where The Read Fern Grows). Afterwards, the bell rang and we went back to class.

Mr. Coley said to grab your library books so that we can go to the library. We returned our library books as well as checked out new ones. I checked out Goosebumps, The Haunted House.

Once we finished our library time, we went back to class to start Science. We pulled our books and notes for review. We discussed evaporation.  Evaporation is a process when liquid turns into gas. I am doing project tonight at home. I am going to fill a glass of water up to the rim. Leave it out overnight to see if it evaporates.

Finally after science, Mr. Coley released us to go home.
