My day at St. Timothy School started out like this: When I got to school Friday, the rain was poring. I tried not to get my banner wet. Since it was raining, we had to go inside the school. The bell rang for school to start at 8:00am. When the bell rang, all the students ran to their classroom. Class begin with putting our banners on the chair in the library. We made the banners at home. Before Ms. Jensen started hanging up the banners in the hallway, she said, “Take out your D.O.L and work on it”. We started on D.O.L (Daily Oral Language). Everyone took out their D.O.L booklet from their desk. We did the work in our booklets. Next we did D.O.L corrections. After that, a classmate had already done a Jensen’s Journalist and put it online at Ms. Jensen’s Website. After reading it, I learned what happened the day she wrote it. It was beautiful. Good job classmate!
After we read the Jensen’s Journalist, we had Spelling. We had to correct pages in our spelling book we did for homework. What we learned in spelling was how to put the apostrophes in the right place of the contraction words. Then it came, the spelling test of the week. When that was over, we had math. We took out our math homework, and corrected it. During math, we reviewed our lessons we had for the week. When that was over we had our math test.
After math we had stations. For stations we did reading comprehension, vocabulary, picture dictionary, and proverb drawing. Finally, the people who completed all stations went to the computer to do free rice. Free rice is a vocabulary online game; they ask you what words mean. If you get the word right, you give a grain of rice to the poor. We did that for a few minutes.
Then the bell rang for snack time. Since it was free dress, it was also a bake sale. I got a brownie. The brownie had chocolate and nuts, YUM! Ms Jensen also had free dress even though she gets it every day. Lucky her! Since it was raining we had snack inside.
After snack we had the same thing, stations. A few minutes afterwards, it was time to go. We packed up and got ready to go. But, before we left, Ms. Jensen read a few pages of Among the Hidden. Since it was a half day, we left at 12:00p.m. Wow! Another great day at St. Timothy School!

Very good Brooke! You cover a lot and have great examples from the day. You're right - I am lucky to have free dress everyday. :-)
"Among the Hidden" was a guilty pleasure of mine; I read it entirely in Barnes & Noble.
I'm not sure what you mean about banners -- does each student carry flags at your school?
I enjoyed reading about your day, Brooke. You explained things so clearly that I could picture many of the things that you were doing. I play Free Rice at home quite often and will be introducing it to my students next week. My daughter is reading the Among the Hidden series of books--she's on number 4 now.
