August 16, 2017

Today was our second day of fifth grade! August 16, 2017. Every morning we listen to a song while we unpack.We do that so that we only take a certain amount of time and we dont take too long to unpack. this morning we listened to " How Far I'll Go" from Disney's Moanna.

My class and I love that song! some people were even singing along to the lyrics. Before we came to class Ms. Booth put " I am " poems on our desks. An " I am" poem is a worksheet that tells you to fill in your name, your parents name, your wish, your dreams, and other questions about ourselves. So when we all finished putting our books and backpacks away we got to writing that. After, we put our worksheets in our folder and worked on our " First Day Of Fifth Grade"writing assignment that we started yesturday. we all did about a paragragh or even finished them. we did alot of writing today so, next we wrote a 3 page essay about the most interesting thing we did this summer. Alot of the stories were very interesting. It was supposed to be a narritive. Mine was about a cruise. Scince it is only the second day of fifth grade we have some testing to finish so we took a math test. It was pretty short, I think it was only 32 probloms. Then we had a new project to start called " The Goal Hand ". first, you trace your hand in pencil, then you draw a symbol that stands for one thing you accomplished already that you are proud of inside the hand trace. Then you draw a symbol that stands for something you are working towads outside the hand. You had to have at least 3 symbols each. You also had to color it in. Then we did the final draft of our " First Day Of Fifth Grade". After that, we voted on for playleaders, playleader leaders, gardening committee, student council, classroom jobs and Kool To Be Kind.

After that the day was over! We were done! Today was a good day, I can't wait for tomorrow!
