Kahlan and Juliana - we need to record your skit again, it was too hard to hear with the giggling. :)

1/19/2023 Mrs. McElhinney made a change in going into the class, so the process of getting a fun and cool seat is more fair. There are 2 lines and 4th grade went first into the classroom. Next week, the fifth graders get to go into the room first. We all sat down and read QUIETLY. Then Iris rang the gong. After that, Mrs. McElhinney and lots of kids talked about books and then we worked on our scripts for an hour and a half. At the end, Mrs. McElhinney gave us Jolly Ranchers and we worked some more. Then we played last man standing, and then we packed up. It was a good day.
12/22/22 Today we read in the morning like always and then got our Latin and Greek stem word. It was Cir, meaning round. Then, we got straight into our people. We are doing a project where we pick a person and learn about what they did. Last time we grouped into 2 or 4 people a group. So we started making the plot chart for our stories. At the end of the day, we read Gregor the Overlander. Then, right before we got on the bus, we used our cards. The cards are index cards that each of us wrote something that we have done. And as Mrs. M goes on reading what the card says, more and more people sit down until the last one is read and the only person standing is the person who wrote the card. The we got packed up and went on the bus. - Kahlan Munson & Iris Heffernan
