I really enjoyed my first week of school. I was surprised on how much l like it.
I really like doing the me bag because I got to know about other peoples lives. I also like doing the time capsule because I really enjoy writing and that is what I was excited to do in 5th grade.

I missed not going to the bus stop on the first day of school. It was strange just starting online. The day did feel shorter to me when we are online.
It has been a good start to my 5th grade school year. I can't wait to go back into school!

I enjoyed the first week of though it was much more different then last year where we walked into the building. Also It was weird knowing I had school but not going. I liked doing the me bag and last man standing a lot. I'm definitely looking forward to going back to school and seeing all my friends. I think I got more used to getting on zoom's then going into school but not by much. I think it's going to be a long but good school year and im looking forwards to it.

The first week of school was been amazing and I all ready learned thing!!!!!
One thing I learned is how all the specialist are going to work this year which is super wired but I’ll get used to it .The second the thing I learned is some tricks on zoom and learned how. To use all of the websites and I’ve gotten super good at doing stuff like Unmuting super fast.
My top three favorite things we did this year are last one standing,Me box or bag,And meet and greet.
My wish for the year are to go back full Time.
One reason I like school this year is I’m learning new thing it may not be ideal at least I’m going to be learning
One other reason is that we are even aloud to go to school half the time.
This year has been Amazing but wired and we have so much more to come!!!!!!

I had a good first day of school Even though we where not in person it still was great. I got to see all my friends from last year. On zoom it was weird but after awhile I got use to it. I liked doing the last man standing and the me bag. I was surprised that the classroom looked so different from the meet and greet but I bet it is going to be great. I hope we have a great year.

I enjoyed the first week of school even though it was very different. I thought it was fun to do the me-bags because I got to learn things about other people and they get to learn things about me. I also liked starting the letter to our future self because I really like to write. Mostly when it is a fun assignment. I also liked the time capsule because I love answering questions like that.

The day feels a little shorter online then it does in person. Even though this year is different and I won't see everyone in person, I still think it will be a good year.

My first reaction to the first reaction to the first week of school was feeling nervous.
Later in the week it changed because I didn't know what to expect with remote learning. I also really like my class and my teacher.
The activities I enjoyed were doing me bags because I liked seeing what people liked and to tell my classmates a little about me. I also enjoyed doing the letter to the future me and the time capsule because I want to see if what I like now is different from the future.
I like doing school from home but I miss seeing my friends in person. I would have liked a normal school year better because I can go to school and it would be nice not to wear a mask when I am near people again.
I was surprised that we do long zooms.
I can't wait for a great school year!

I was confused on the first day of school with all of the technology but now I understand I hope I get better as the school year go's on. My favorite part of the day is usually our first zoom after the asynchronous time. After the first day felt really good about myself knowing this is going to be a great school year. Always try to prepare for all of my zooms early and efficient. One of my favorite welcome activities was the time capsule. I look forward to the this year when we are not full remote.

I really enjoyed the first week of school! I was surprised by how much I liked it. I enjoyed hearing new things about my classmates and teachers. School was difficult in some areas like finding out where you're supposed to be and at what time, and getting on from zoom to zoom, but it's been pretty good so far! I do miss my friends and being able to just go in person for the whole year, but teachers are trying their best to make the school year as best as they can! I can't wait for a fantastic school year ahead!

This year, because of the pandemic, the start of school was completely different from last year. I was so excited to meet my new classmates and my new teacher face to face. Unfortunately this year, I only met everyone on zoom. The whole class had to be on the computer the whole day. It was hard to listen and concentrate for so long on zoom. I missed the interaction with other people a lot. Although working remote can be frustrating and challenging at times, it helps me concentrate better. In class, it is way louder than when I am home alone. Also, at home I have more supplies to complete my paperwork. I love being creative so I always like more supplies. There are anesthetist and dis-anesthetist _to work remote. So i am really happy to get back to school when this pandemic is over.

sorry i meant 'there are advantages and disadvantages to work remote.'

I thought the first day of school was pretty good! Not as good as a normal first day but I did like not having to wake up so early. I liked doing the me box because I liked learning about other kids in my class. On the first day I wasn't sure if I was going to like online school but overall I liked my first day of online learning and I can't wait for the rest of the school year.

My week one was great and I am exited for week two to start and to actually go in the classroom on Thursday and Friday and see the class and Mrs. Katnani. I can't wait to read about your weeks but first this is how I felt. When I started school I was so happy and exited to meet everyone on zoom but a little nervous to because I knew people were having problems with their chrome books so I was wondering if mine was going to glitch to. It did so the first day I was on an Ipad. "not planned". But when I got a new chrome book everything was fine. By Friday when I was getting on it felt like a normal school day not the 3rd day of school. With me I am so exited about it but it goes by super fast or it just feels like I've been doing it forever. Now in my mind it feels like last year home schooling just a bit Different and more zooms. Last year everyone was saying one zoom a week then all of a sudden 18 zooms a DAY!!! When Mrs. Katnani told us to do the me bag and showed us hers I technically knew what I was going to say and what I was going to put in mine straight away. I also loved the last man standing game because I got to see how much in common everyone has with each other and what they have, do, or like it really helped me know some stuff about everyone.That is how I felt on the first day of school and what was racing through my mind and I can't wait to see all of your writing and what was happening to you guys but the start of the second week is what I'm looking forward to.

This year has been different than any other year! Remote school is different because you can't see your classmates in person. On the first day of school this year I was scared and excited. I was eager to see how online school would go. I was glad to see familiar faces from my class last year, and some new ones too. So far it has been really fun getting to know my teacher and classmates better! I enjoyed making my Me Bag and doing Last Man Standing. I also like that me can ask Mrs. Katnani a question when we need to. That is something that hasn't changed. This year in 5th grade is going to be great!

I loved the first week of school! I was surprised about how fast it went by, I was worried it might not feel like real school but it does! My favorite thing we have done so far is the me bag, I love getting to know and understand my classmates better. I'm looking forward to a great year with this class eve n though it may be a little strange

When I first got on the zoom I was nervous and didn't know what to do. I had butterflies in my stomach and my hands started shaking. Then we started doing a greeting and I calmed down and said to myself everybody else is proplay nervous too. That's how my first day of school started.

I thought the first week of school was very fun! The first couple days I wanted to get to know my new teacher and she is very nice! I think that all of the other people in my class are very nice as well! I felt good the first week about going into fifth grade and I still feel good about it! I really like all the fun games we’ve done so far like the trivia was really fun to do! Some things I didn’t like were all the problems with wifi and stuff. What surprised me is that it went by way faster than I thought it would! Remote learning is way different than normal school because things sometimes go slower with internet problems but in normal school it goes a lot faster because you don't need to worry about the internet. Fifth grade seems like it is going to be a crazy, wacky, and fun year!
