Monday, January 28, 2008, was a busy day. I started out very confused! Today we were supposed to wear old-fashioned costumes, but when I was walking to school I saw some kids wearing their uniforms. I was scared because I was the only one so far that was wearing a costume! When I turned around I saw another kid wearing a prince outfit. Thank goodness! I was even more confused because nobody was on the playground, so I thought I was late. I went into the classroom, but I was the only one there except for Ms. Jensen. Where were the rest of the students? It turns out that the rest of the students were in the hallway waiting for Ms. Jensen to call them into the classroom.
After we unpacked our bags, we did D.O.L (Daily Oral Language). We corrected the sentences with our red correcting pens and fixed the capitalization and punctuation errors. Then we did our special intentions, prayers for people in need. Today I prayed for the hungry: “For they may have food that people give to them.”
Once we finished special intentions, Ms. Jensen showed us WikiSpaces, a website where you can type in a vocabulary word and a synonym, part of speech, and your own sentence that describes the word. I wanted to do that instead of reading comprehension because it was on the computer, but unfortunately I had to answer boring questions from a book. I think tomorrow I’ll be at the vocabulary station so I’m happy. Snack time was very slow, and then we did a math time test in division. At the beginning I was slow because I was nervous, but when I got to the middle I went fast because I was more confident, but at the end I got very shaky because I wanted to get one hundred percent. I got a ninety eight percent and only one wrong! During math notes, we reviewed dividing by fractions, and practiced on our white boards. Afterwards we did language arts and worked on combining sentences and complete and simple predicates. Finally it was lunchtime!
When I stepped outside it was very windy so I played soccer to warm me up. After lunch we did some more language arts, another rotation, and then we worked on Social Studies. In Social Studies we read about pueblos. When that was over, we packed our bags, did our jobs, and ran outside when the bell rang.
It was cool to see everybody’s costumes and it made the day excellent! If only it weren’t so windy!
