I download so much stuff to my Netbook - Remi

I download so much stuff to my netbook, and I mean a LOT of things.

I have downloaded Sonic, Mario, and so many more things.

They are fun. There is a Sonic game and Mario. It is like the first Sonic game but cooler.

One of the Mario games is Super Mario 3. It's fun.

I play them in my free time but not when I'm learning.

5th Grade Breakfast- ADA

      On the 19th of December the whole 5th grade is going to have a 5th grade breakfast. Basically each 5th grader brings in a breakfast dish and then we all go into Mrs. England's class room and feast. It will be fun trying all the delicious foods that people bring in. I am also excited to eat all of that yummy food. I don't know about you but I can not wait until the 5th grade breakfast comes around!

Wednesday the 18th -Ietta

    I am sooo looking forward towards next Wednesday.  What we are going to do is first, (ugh)  we have to take a math benchmark in the morning.  Then, we get to get in our pajamas and go to the school wide Sing-along.  Which is sooo much fun (look at my older post about the Sing-along).  After that we just relax and hang out in our pajamas.  That is why I am sooo looking forward to it.

Benchmark Testing -Da'Naya

Today we took the benchmark test, and it was fun! We got to do it on netbooks. We took the science one (not my favorite).The easy part of it was finishing. When I got finished in my head I had a brain party. When I was finished my teacher sent me to bloggers and here I am. (P.S. I love bloggers.)

Basketball Field Trip - Anaiya

On December 19, 2013,  2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th are going to see a basketball game at UGA. We are going in the morning of that day. Fifth grade teachers gave 5th grade students green slips to bring home to show our parents. It said that we have to wear green shirts to the game. (It also said what we can bring our 5th grade party. I like fruit, so my mom circled for me to bring fruit). Last year when 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th went to the game they provided us with lunch. They sometimes have concession stands  for people that brought money to get something. When we first get there, they passed out pom-poms. I am looking forward to go again!

Should Benchmarks Be On The Netbook - Hayyah

This semester we took our benchmark testing  on our netbooks. We had several comments on how our benchmark testing should not be on netbooks. Netbooks could sometimes be confusing and stressful because of crashes, pop ups, freezes, etc. Some advantages of taking the test on our netbooks are not using so much paper and it's easier to correct. It's good to have a piece of paper and write all your answers just in case you netbook kicks you out.  Good luck to everyone, do your best, and take your time!

Benchmark Testing :,-p -Cassius T.

     We have benchmark testing sadly.  And the worst part about it is it's on the netbooks.  Most people like doing stuff on the netbooks but this time once you turn in your test,even the TEACHER can't look at it and help you or look over it. The good thing about it that there are less questions and it's easier to check your work.  Another good thing is that the questions are still easy so most people are going to do good and have a good grade.

Background for the Musical - Remi

 Some  of  my friends and I helped paint  the background for the musical.

I spent all day Friday painting the background.It took at least 7  hours to do it. I painted the outside,  Grace did the tree,  and Fred did the snow and snowflakes.

My friends Grace and Fredrick helped me out a lot.

I couldn't do it without them. I told them thanks.

 

School Musical- Hayyah

On December 10, 2013 , we will be having a

school musical called Happy the High Tech

Snowman. It's about a snowman that comes

out of the blue to learn about technology,

but there are crazy scientists trying to

capture the so called "flaky" snowman. I got

the role as the wonderful mom. I am so

excited to be in the musical. I still have

butterflies in my tummy because I'm so

nervous, even at rehearsals! Good

luck to everyone and break a leg!

School Sing-along -Ietta

Our music teacher is really busy in December, because she has the school musical and the sing-along to do (the musical is pretty long).

 Every year we do a school sing-along.  We sing songs like "Silver Bells" ,  "Jingle Bells" ,  "Feliz Navidad" ,  "We Wish you a Merry Christmas"  ,  "Little Dreidel" ,  and even more Christmas songs.  It's on December 18, 2013 in the afternoon.  I am really looking forward to it, because the whole school all gathers in the gym and we SING!  SING!  SING!

Polar Express Day - Anaiya

On the 18 of December, Chase Street School is having a Polar Express Day. On that day some teachers let us wear  pajamas all day. Sometimes we get to drink hot chocolate and watch movies in our classroom. It's up to our teachers to get hot chocolate for our class. Last year my class had a glass mug to put our hot chocolate and we got take it home. I gave my mug to my mom for a gift. Ms. Ragsdale usually has a sing- along for us kids. Last year Roger and Isaiah played the drums.

The Spelling bee- ADA

    On Thursday Mrs. England's class had their class spelling bee. Da'Naya, Eloise, and won. I It was exciting finding out who made it to the school spelling bee. I participated in the spelling bee and it was really nerve wracking because you had to spell a bunch of words in front of a bunch of people. But we only had to spell very few words that were hard and a lot were easy. And I'm excited to see who wins  the school spelling bee!
