Today is Tuesday, February 10, 2009. It is a very cold morning but the rain stopped and the sun is out which makes me happy. The 5th grade’s day started with working on our daily schedules. We turned in our homework and we did a logic puzzle. Next was religion class. We read an example of a parable which is called “The Giving Tree”. When we finished reading the parable we were assigned different parables and we made up skits to go along with the parables we were assigned to. I enjoyed this activity very much but was happy when it was finally time to go to the library. This is my favorite class because I love to read different books. We all checked out our books and went back to our classroom. This week’s book choice for me was “When I Laughing, When I Weeping”.
When we returned to our classroom we read some chapters together of “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe”. After that we went out to recess and ate our snacks and took a break from school work. Once recess was over we reviewed our math test that was taken recently. Following the review we did a math activity which taught us some more about parallelograms. I saw everyone taking good notes on this. Soon it was time to get ready for lunch.
When we went to lunch everyone discussed the taxes that our teacher charged us and how unhappy we were about giving her our money. What I was upset about is that she taxed us on paper, pencils, and even walking up the stairs! Everyone thought it was unfair and silly so whenever she gives a tax everyone yells we want a teacher not a tax creature! Suddenly it was time for our social studies class. We had a quiz on the lesson about the Boston Tea Party (a story about people being upset about taxes on their tea). After the quiz we reviewed and studied the next lesson. The last things for the day were receiving our Tuesday packets, writing down homework, packing up and getting ready to go home. It was another great day of learning and fun at St. Timothy’s!
