Mrs. Hight, Our Backup Substitute

Mrs. Hight, Our Backup Substitute

Mrs. Hight will be our substitute teacher if Mrs. Sims has her baby earlier than she is expects! We have seen her many times befor she has subbed because Mrs. Sims has had baby appointments she has subbed two or three times! We all enjoy her subbing for us. We all believe that she enjoys subbing for us!

She is a awesome sub because she always follows Mrs. Sims rules on the paper she writes! She is so nice, she always is! She is very good at understanding the instructions gifted by Mrs. Sims.  If Mrs.Sims has her baby early we are looking forward to having her!!!

Blue River Watershed

Blue River Watershed

On November 2nd, 2015 people from Blue River Watershed came in and taught fifth grade about the blue river. When one of the people came in she had a mini plastic display of a town except with 2 houses, the building that takes out all of the gross stuff out of the water,and the last building was the building that cleans and purifies the water so we can drink water, take a bath or shower, and wash dishes with clean water. As she was teaching she taught us what rain does to the ground if you use too much fertilizer or if you don't clean up their dog’s poop. She used kool-aid and hot chocolate to represent the feces, urine and dirt. On November 4th she came back and we got to use chemicals and test tubes. So far we have had a lot of fun when she comes in and we hope we keep having fun as she comes in until November 6th then it will be the last day. :(

Middle school tour!

Today fith grade went to the middle school so we could get a tour of where everything was and how going to middle school isn't that bad. One of the 6th graders gave us a speech about class periods,  how our lockers work, and locker numbers and combinations. Plus they talked about how gym works and how you don't get homework unless you don't get your assignments done in class. they also said "if you choose not to do your work in class it becomes homework." They talked about how if you are new during the middle of the year they have certain people that give them a tour and they also said that if your a 6th grader for the first 2 weeks it's ok if you are tarty. so we learned about going to middle school and how fun it might be so we won't get scared about going next year.

Grandparents Night

On grandparents night I went with my stepsister me and my grandparents . So when you go to the book fair it's pretty big I got something and my stepsister did too. So when you went to Mrs.Sims class you had to ask them some really hard questions not really but you ask something like ,when was I born , what was my first pet and stuff like that. I had fun I got a book and spent time with my grandparents.

Science night

Science night was held on February 17,2015. During science night we had the high school robotics team came over to help and give a demonstration on a machine they were working on. We ran many different stations such as magnets, balance, guestimation, and ooblek. The animal room was very fun because we had the Kansas city zoo come in and share some pets along with Mrs.Sims who brought in our class pets to see as well. Some 5th graders stayed after to help like i did. We were in charge of setting up stations. When science night started everyone was told to go into the gym for a thank you to the inventors cub inventors. After the thank you to them science night began. every 15 minutes an inventor group would give their presentation to people in the library. Every person in inventors club made an invention to present that night. there were three people who would give there separate presentations then there would be a short intermission for the next three people to share. We had twelve amazing inventions that night by Calvin, Makinna, Audrey, Kylan, Ava, Jarrett, Brendon, Keegan, Jace, Connor, Madison, Aden, and me. my twin sister and I (Audrey is twin) we made an invention together and presented it together. Science night was a success for Mrs.Sims who made that amazing night all possible.

CHOIR CONCERT

Christmas Concert

The fifth grade concert was a pretty big event. The audience was huge comparing to where I was standing. Almost everybody in my class was there. Every fifth grader was reguired to wear green or red to be festive. There were like 8 songs performed. First honor quior sang the Star Spangled Banner. Next they sang songs that they practiced. Then the fifth graders got on the stage and Mrs. Burd and Mrs.Terry's class sang first. After them, it was Mrs. Sims and Liddle's class turn. Finally we ended the concert by singing one song together which was called Belive from The Polar Express. :]-Aneysha.

Zoo mobile

                                          zoo mobile!

the Kansas City zoo came to our school and they brought a turtle,turkey,a king snake,and a millipede .And it was so cool and everybody was so excited to see what was in the cage that kept on scquaking. And we had no clue what they brought because he kept on talking about polar bears and penguins and all kinds of other animals.It was interesting for all of us to learn about all of the animals.And it was a interesting opportunity to go to.

BIST PARENT NIGHT

Working At B.I.S.T Night

This is what B.I.S.T night was like for me. I really liked working there. When my little sister and I walked into the school, we sat down on a bench and waited to be assigned jobs. I was assigned on greeting the parents. Two other "employees " worked with me. One handed a B.I.S.T packet, another an agenda, and I spoke to whoever came. After our "shift" was done, all of the employees ate pizza outside of the library. The children that came to B.I.S.T night were in the library having fun while the parents stayed in the cafeteria listening about what the safe spot is, stuff like that. After the pizza, we could go to the library. Inside, there was a movie playing, kids playing with action figures, and coloring at the tables. I watched the movie. I didn't get to finish because my mom was here to pick us up. That is what I did at B.I.S.T parent night. : )

A Reminder

__________

If you have been in war or gruesome battles I recommend not reading this.

I’m writing to tell you about Veterans Day. You should read this it could tell you a lot.

This is about Veterans Day. A veteran  is a person who served in the military or still does. On veterans day we thank the people who served our country to save ours and other lives.

What we did in Mrs. Terry and one of the students dads came in to teach us a lesson about veterans day. He showed us pictures his jobs and the military dogs he had.

Well if you want to know more look it up or ask a parent or friend.

The drunk goggles

I am writing this because i wanted to share about when we all put on 'drunk goggles.'You should read this because it was funny because we could not walk a straight line.The lesson was to try to walk a straight line in the 'drunk goggles.'The activity was to have fun while trying to walk straight,it was hard. I thought it was really fun because some of us fell and walked complitly off the line, and some did good.If you tried this with a bunch of friends you would have a good and fun time doing it.I would try to do a wavey line and try to get i it right.

drinking is a bad thing if you drink alot, if you drink one every once in a while that would be better to do. If you drink under age it is bad because your body is growing at the time.You should only drink if you're 21 or older.Drinking and driving is bad because you can kill or injure you or someone else, it can turn into a disaster.
