Abstract	Objective: This study is part of the broader research conducted to investigate the experiences of pupils, teachers, parents and students regarding online and blended (online and face-to-face classroom) instruction in the Republic of Serbia during the pandemic, focusing on students' perceptions of the changed form of schooling. Method: The subject of this study was the descriptions of teaching-related events that left a strong impression on 5th grade students in elementary schools in the Republic of Serbia during the first semester of 2020. Thematic analysis was used to collect data in the form of narratives. Findings: The 5th grade students value events related to the transition from classroom to subject teaching (getting to know the teacher and new subjects) more positively than events related to the change in teaching model caused by the coronavirus pandemic outside (lack of direct contact, inconsistency of online and face-to-face instruction, abbreviated classes). They also highlight the benefits of this instructional model, such as face-to-face teaching (albeit not on a daily basis) and learning about new educational technologies. Conclusion: The findings can be regarded as a modest contribution to a better understanding of this problem, which remains relevant in light of the current pandemic conditions. (As Provided).
