The day was rainy.  I had to go upstairs to my classroom.  Ms. Jensen had to watch over the fourth and up grades because it was raining outside.  One of the teachers came in the classroom and asked for all the kids that were fifth and up to come to his classroom.  I asked Ms. Jensen if I could go on the computer.  She said “ yes”.   All this happened before school started.  Then the bell rang, and everyone went to their classroom.

Next, the class had to do D.O.L. (daily oral language). In D.O.L. we corrected a paragraph full of mistakes,  we used a pencil then we used a red correcting pen.  Afterwards was religion.  We got ready for our religion test tomorrow.  We did a chapter review and made  corrections.  After that,  there was  stations.  In stations we did reading comprehension, picture dictionary, computers, and language arts. Picture dictionary is a dictionary with pictures.  I finished everything except the coloring for picture dictionary.  Then we had snack.  Snack had to be inside because it was raining.  We went to the 7^th grade classroom for snack. Once that was done, Math.  In math we learned about ratios.  Ratios means a way of describing a relationship between two numbers.  We used clay to figure it out.  We made little circles out of the clay.

Since there is a women luncheon tomorrow and we were going to visit.  We had to make colorful tissue paper flowers.  The colors I used were light purple, light blue and dark purple.  The flowers were beautiful. Afterwards we had lunch.  Since the ground was wet, we had lunch inside. Once we finished lunch, we had P.E.  We changed into our P.E. clothes, and went outside to play “Capture the Flag” and “Kick ball”, it was really fun. When we finished, we went to our classroom to do Tuesday packets.  Tuesday packets are little bags full of our homework, test, and classwork.  Since it was a short week, instead of the Tuesday packets being taken home on Tuesday, they were taken home on Wednesday.  After Tuesday packets, we watched some of our California Missions movie. The movie talked about the church and chapel, who built it, where the bodies are laid in the cemetery,  and what  priest did, what monks and Indians did too.  Also, what earthquakes and nature has destroyed. Finally, it was time to go home. We packed up and Ms. Jensen read a few pages of “Among the Hidden”.  Another great day at St. Timothy School!!!!!!!!!
