Today is the 4th day of Catholic School week. It is jeans for Jesus day. My school day started at 8am in the morning with a loud school bell ringing. Our class went into the classroom and on the board Ms. Jensen wrote down the homework assignments we had to turn in. Then we started our morning work. Morning work consists of D.O.L. (Daily Oral Language) and special intentions for the day. My special intention was for the homeless. We then corrected our D.O.L. and went to snack.
Following snack we went back upstairs to our classroom and had our 100 problem math time test. Did I mention this is one of my favorite things to do? Then we corrected our test and last night’s math homework. We then reviewed tonight’s math homework. Once math time was finished we started our stations and went to lunch.
Lunch started at 12:20. We ate and played soccer. We had a great time. It was now time for some friendly class competition. The whole class went back upstairs to the classroom and Ms. Jensen went into the closet and got our quarters that everyone collected for the Quarter mile class competition. In this competition each grade was to bring enough quarters to equal 5,280 quarters. Why 5,280? This number is important because 5,280 feet equals one mile. The quarters were lined up across the school yard so they could be measured. All the money was donated to a charity. Our class came in third place. Yeah, way to go 4th grade!
Afterwards, we went back upstairs to our classroom and finished stations and any missing work. Then we went to church to practice our special intentions for Friday’s mass tomorrow. Our class is hosting mass tomorrow. Following mass practice, we went back to the classroom and worked on Gallon man. No one in our class had ever heard of Gallon man. Gallon man is separated into gallons, quarts, pints and cups. We learned something new, fun huh? Then we started coloring our work.
Once we finished we packed our bags, cleaned up and wiped down our desks. Then we read a few pages in “Among the Hidden” and finally it was time to go home. Whew, guess we didn’t know how much work we do in one day.

Good article Asha! I was very happy no one had heard of Mr. Gallon Man - I think it will make a nice visual for us on how to remember our units of measurement, don't you?
