Cell Phones at School

Tomorrow we will do an activity that asks your child to bring their cell phone to school. It will involve texting so make sure your plan allows for free texting. At all other times the phones must be powered off and in the backpacks.

Watch the blog for the results of our cell phone project.

AIMS !!!!!

AIMS was so awesome because we had to write a story. After that we did reading and math on the same day for the rest of the week. Our teacher said the math was easier than our math books and that was true. I really liked the reading part. It was fun because I love to read ! It was also easy. I liked it because it is different because my class does not do alot of reading. My favorite was about the talent show. It was fun to read. Then when it was the last day I was so excited about that but we still had to do our best and that's what we did . I think the last test was the best.

When we were in last year's class we got to chew gum but this year we did not get to chew gum . Last year's teacher said if you chew gum you think more. Mr. Miller did not agree. This year we got peppermints to chew at breaktime. We also got new pencils (Mr. Lansa said they had all the answers inside them).

We thought the test was going to be hard but it wasn't. We worked hard all year so we were prepared.

What We Are Doing at School!!

We learn lots of new math.We do lots of writing since we are fifth graders. We do lots and lots of writing right now because we have the AIMS test coming up.We all need extra practise.Our school is getting ready for all the tests!!!

Please go and comment and tell me if you are doing AIMS testing.

A persuasive essay lists reasons that would convince the reader to do what your persuasive writing is about. The reasons in the persuasive essay should be convincing reasons so the reader gets your point.so that's what a persuasive essay is.

Reaching Our Goal

So we have almost reached our goal of 2,500 blog hits. The last I checked we were only 52 hits away which means we almost certainly will reach our goal and you will not have any more homework this year.
However, I can not let you off so easy. Today while you are in the computer lab, I want you to answer these questions in the comment section. As always, please use proper sentences, spelling, and punctuation.

1. Do you think this is a fair trade-off? Is 2,500 hits on the blog worth not having homework?Why?

2. Why do you think I offered the class this deal? Why are hits on the blog worthwhile?

3. What do you enjoy about blogging? Has it made a difference in how you felt about fifth grade?

Think hard about your answers. Remember 2,500 people are waiting to hear your answers.
