The day began when Ms. Jensen greeted the class in the play yard. I was running late by 5 minutes and met my class in the classroom. When I entered the classroom the students were turning in their homework and preparing for religion class.  We did worksheets that told us about cleaning up the earth.  Yesterday was Earth Day and we are still doing work that teaches us about recycling and making our earth cleaner.  Readings stations was next and there was a word scramble that Ms. Jensen had on the white board.  We all tried to guess the word.  On Monday we will know how many students guessed the word right.  Next, Ms. Jensen talked to us about what happens when there is an accident and the costs of the accident.  I am lucky because I was not picked to choose a card.  Because if you choose the accident card you have to pay over $100.  All of a sudden it was snack time and we all went out to recess. 

After recess we took a walk around the school with Ms. Jensen.  We then returned to class and had math class.  We did two runaway math sheets and I was happy that I was one of the winners.  There were 5 winners!  Then we started Social Studies and talked about Heritage Day.  Our test was next and a lot of us were glad that it was an open book test.  Lunch time came next and we all went out to eat.  

After lunch we had P.E. and ran around the school yard.  All of us ran one mile!  It felt good to be able to do that.  This will help us with the Kids for Cancer Walk.  After the run we played a quick baseball game.  After P.E. we went inside and we got back to our social studies test.  Once the test was done we were able to do free reading.

Clean up time was next and we had time to balance our check books and look at our finances.  Once that was done we started writing in our agendas and Ms. Jensen started excusing us for dismissal one by one.  It was a fun and exciting day.  I really enjoyed the runaway math today.  What a great day of learning more about the earth!
