Monday, 3/17/08 Reported by: Selena

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and today is FREE DRESS DAY!  No uniforms . . . yeah!  Well, when we all arrived in class, we were very surprised to find that our classroom was a mess!  Our desks were out of order, there were little leprechaun footprints on top of the desks and we had to clean it all up!  Those little leprechauns; they are messy little people.  UGH!!!  After cleaning up, we turned in all of our work and started Religion.  Following Religion, we worked on our handwriting paper and searched for four-leaf clovers in the classroom.  That was so much fun!  Once the class found all of the four-leaf clovers, we had to get back to work.

Ms. Jensen gave us a Spelling test and once that was done, we corrected it in class and picked a new Word of the Week.  It was almost time for recess, but before we left, we read a story entitled, The Fun They Had about some two kids who lived in the future and found a book about kids in the past going to school.  They were amazed at how different schools of the past were in comparisons to their school in the future.  For example, one of the major differences was books.  Schools in the past use text books for work and they used a projection-type screen for their work; they did not have text books.  The story was kinds of interesting and fun to read. 

Finally, the bell rang and it was time for recess and I played volleyball with my friends.  When we returned to class, Ms. Jensen planned an activity for us called, Shamrock Shakedown.  This was a fun math game and everybody had to play. 

Before I knew it, it the bell rang for lunch!  Everybody rushed out to eat lunch to play basketball and volleyball.  We had so much fun.   the day was coming to an end.  Ms. Jensen gave us a worksheet on Ireland that we had to complete in class.  When that was completed, we worked on a crossword puzzle and finally we started on our science project which was making putty.  At 3:00 p.m., the bell rang and it was time to clean up and go home. 

Today was really fun and interesting day and we only have three more days of school.  Whoo-hoo!!!

Next time Selena put parenthesis around the title of the book. leave out the word "some" in the sentence some two kids. Who was they who did not have books?
