5-‐Reed News Hi. This is Sara Hagiwara from 5-‐Reed’s class in ASIJ. Today, I am going to talk about my class.

10/17/12, Wednesday

The Class of 5-‐Reed 5 Reed is a cheerful, nice class in 5th grade. Our teacher’s name is Ms. Reed. She is a very nice and funny (I meant hilarious) teacher who loves teaching. Honestly, she is the best teacher in the world!!! In this picture we are having Writers’ Workshop.

Writers’ Workshop is a subject where you write. The reason why most of the kids in my class like Writers’ Workshop is because you can share your stories to other people. For example, you can ask others to listen to your rough draft and ask them if you have specific details that you can fix. I

especially love this workshop because you can draw or practice your typing skills!

Q. What is ASIJ?

A. ASIJ is a school in Tokyo, Japan. It is a school founded in 1903 and is a very big and fun school. ASIJ is an international school, so people from all over the world go to this school.

Digital Life at 5-‐Reed Our class tries their best to use their technology correctly and follow the

rules of the Acceptable Use Agreements.

In 5th grade, most of the people start to have electronics, so they use their technology gently and importantly. Also, 5th grade starts to borrow MacBook Pros. These are the school’s, so we use them extra carefully.

The Acceptable Use Agreements

Q. What is the Acceptable Use Agreements?

A. The Acceptable Use Agreements are strict rules of what you can do on your MacBook, and what you can’t do on your MacBook.

We need to follow the Responsible rule, Safe rule, Honest rule, and the Respectful rule.

In math, we have units. Our class is on unit 3. That means we are learning about geometry. Unit 3 doesn’t have to be geometry though, but the 5th grade unit 3 is geometry.

Our Subjects Our class has lots of subjects. For example, we have math, science, P.E., social studies, Writing Workshop, Reading Workshop, and many more!

In P.E., we have the swimming unit. In this unit, there are three classes-‐ the shallow end class, the middle class, and the deep-‐end class. I am in the deep-‐end class. The reason why I like this class is because sometimes, when other people in the group are practicing, we touch the bottom of the 12-‐foot floor. Hannah, Momo, Rona and I do this.

In social studies, we are learning about Digital Citizenship. After we make the iMovies that we are making perfect and posting on YouTube, we are going to learn about Justice.

usually gets to perform at Winterfest, and performances that the teachers arrange.
