Electricity by Remi

In our class we are studying electricity this week.

My favorite is static   electricity. It's the funnest one to use.

We are doing lots of experiments with electricity.

It's lots of fun.

Spelling Bee -Da'Naya

Today we had the spelling be and it was fun. It was only spellers from 4th and 5th grade. The contestants were Ada, Anaiya, Danaya, Jack, Siena, Trinity, Thomas, Eloise, Alana, Luke, Asia, Anna, Lena, Clayton, Roan, Holland, Julia, Ismail.

These are all the 18 contestants. The winner was Thomas and  the runner-up was Anna. It was sad at sometimes. Although everybody got money for participating. 

Spelling Bee -Ietta

Today was the school spelling bee and nobody lost in the first round.  Our school had a 5th grade boy winner and  a 4th grade girl runner-up.  This was not like any other year, because the runner-up was a 4th grader that got to the last round.  The audience was really quiet during the entire thing.  The contestants were really nervous because a whole bunch of parents were there.  I think this year was better than any other.

Writing - Hayyah

In grammar/writing we are doing an Informational story about a new product that we invented or improved. It seems kind of easy to me because I'm always thinking of things to build or improve on. I found this kind of fun but challenging at the same time. I am not really sure what I will be doing yet. I'm going really have to think about what I'm going to do, but I'm sure it will be awesome.

Spelling Bee -Anaiya

Today we had the spelling bee. Before the spelling bee we had rules we had to follow before we start. Like, no talking and acting crazy while they are spelling. If you spell something wrong and go back and say it right you will still get it wrong. If you can't spell the word you can write it out in the air or write out on your hand. If you need a sentence you could ask for one and the judges will give you one. You could ask for origin, part of speech, and repeat the word. The audience has to be quiet and not move around to distract the contestants. You will also be facing the judges so you won't get nervous facing the audience. 

Spelling Bee -Cassius T.

On January 23rd, 2014 we had the 2014 spelling bee!  The spelling bee is always so exciting.  It's also very dramatic and shocking.  Luckily this year's bee had  less tears.  It's really hard to hold in your emotions on stage and you want to FLIP OUT if you get a word wrong.  Then when someone whom you want to win gets out you also flip out.  So you usually do not get bored during the spelling bee.  I mostly like going to the spelling bee. (:

I finally beat Pokemon X - Remi

I finally beat Pokemon X. It was a long adventure through Kalos.

I found Mew Two  in  the cave at the Pokemon  town.


It took a long  time to beat the 8th  gym  but  I won.

I also beat all the bad guys and AZ too.

I can't wait for the next game to come out next year.

P. E - Hayyah

In P.E we are doing basketball and getting ready for the fitness test in March. So far we are doing basketball drills and practicing dribbling. We are also are practicing for the fitness test by stretching past our feet and doing the pastry run. The pastry run is when you have to run from one side of the gym to another before you hear the sound of a bell. Each time it gets faster and faster. If you don't make it from one side to another you missed that lap, and once you get tired you can stop running. Every age has to run a certain amount of laps to pass. We are also doing push-ups and sit-ups. I am ready and confident that I will pass, although I'll probably be really tired after the pastry run.  

Basketball-Danaya

Today our class went to P.E.. We had to do basketball.It was fun. The only part I hated was when we had to do sit ups. But other wise every thing else was very fun. The things we had to do was practice passing the ball. 

 

Otherwise I also do basketball at the Boys and Girls club. It is very awesome because you have to make 1oo shots sometimes when you first get there. Another thing is you get to do your own practice when the boys have to practice.

The Tooth Fairy Lady -Ietta

    On Thursday the 9th, The Tooth Fairy Lady came!  She was dressed in scrubs with Minnie         Mouse on it and sparkly pink and purple wings.  I call her Kim the Magical Tooth Fairy!  She works at a dental van that comes to our school a few times a year.

               We`watched a video that was about kids who went to the dentist and the dentist told them a story about germs taking over the tooth kingdom, four tooth knights battling the germs kingdom, and the tooth kingdom won.

The Tooth Fairy kept reminding us to brush our teeth twice a day, go to the dentist twice a year, and it is most important to brush your teeth at night.  That was basically all we did with Kim the Magical Tooth Fairy.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day ---Cassius T

On January 15th we celebrate MLK Jr. day.  Or the day Martin Luther King Jr. was born.  We celebrate Martin Luther King  Jr. day because of the improvement of peace and happiness he put in America.  He also led part of the civil rights movement by giving speeches and leading long marches and protests.  He wanted to improve the lives of African Americans and their rights.  He did this all with peace and NO violence.  Also on the exact day we have the day off from school.  Thank You Martin Luther King Jr.

Writing Test -Anaiya A.

March fifth is when we are having the fifth grade writing test. In the beginning of fifth grade, after math we would just come back to our homeroom to do writing. Now we have  mixed groups in different writing classes so it can help us for the writing test. In fourth grade we did a practice writing test, so we can get ready for the real one in fifth grade. In Mrs. Stokes' class we have been doing opinion writing. The topic was whether you should wear uniforms or not wear it. My opinion is to wear uniforms.

BREAK IS OVER -CASSIUS T.

Sadly after a relaxing 2 weeks of no school we are back.  I was REALLY mad when I came to school on Monday.  It's the same schedule as it used to be. Ex. Wake up when the first ray of sunlight comes through the front door. Then you go through all of this not comfortable stress when rushing to get ready for school.  The only exciting news on Monday was there was NO school on Tuesday.  Otherwise i guess I'll have to put on my big kid pants on and DEAL with it.

Getting Ready For 6th Grade - Hayyah

This school year is almost over and 5th is transiting to 6th grade. I am really looking forward to the rest of the year but, I can't wait to go to middle school! Our teachers are getting us preparing by making us better writers, and doing more math. I'll probably  start of middle school shy but then get used to it. I really hope my friends are in some of my classes. I belive I'm going to Clarke Middle with my brother but he is already in eight grade and is about to graduate so I'll be all by myself. Before I start thinking bout 6th grade I better enjoy 5th.
