Good morning, I am the Jensen’s Journalist for Friday, April 3, 2009. My name is Kimberley. Today Ms. Jensen came downstairs to pick the whole class from the playground. When the whole class got in the class, everyone unpacked their bags. After that, everyone did

 a logic links that was easy for me. Then the morning announcements came on the intercom. After everybody, finished their morning work everyone either read

 or did the egg we started with our grandparents. Then Ms. Jensen gave everyone a spelling test. I got an A on Monday so I did not have to take it today. After that, we did the reading and vocabulary test, which I think I got an A in. Finally the bell rang for snack time.  

       At snack, I played soccer with my friends. When we got back in, we finished the reading and vocabulary test. After that, we just packed up and wrote our homework down for the weekend because we had Church. At Church, everyone had a good day and was singing the songs. We were at Church because of Palm Sunday that was coming up.  

       After Church, everyone in the whole school ran over to the tabl

e where they were selling pizza for one dollar. I got one pizza and water for two dollars. The half day was the best Friday ever!

Today we came in from the playground with our teacher 8:00.  As we all knew it was
April Fool's Day.  Everyone immediately started on their logic link puzzle which is an
activity where you get five, six, seven or eight clues to solve a puzzle.  
 Next on our list of things to do today was finishing up our maps; which was where we
would pick a state, right the capital, rivers, mountains, etc.  The class' next subject was
Religion.  In Religion we would learn about the teachers in the Catholic Church which
was on page 163 in our Religion Work Book.  We all learned how Peter was the leaderof the 12 Apostles and that one of the Apostles betrayed Jesus.  Right after that we all
did a Religion Pop Quiz on the 12 Apostles and the Seven Sacraments.  Then we tookout our Rosaries and our Rosary prayers.  Then all of the students headed on their way
to the Church to pray the Rosary.  When you pray the Rosary you pray 50 Hail Marys,
5 Our Fathers, one Apostle's Creed, one Hail Holy Queen and six Glory Bees.  Then
everyone came back to class.   Now we went to the next subject which was Language Arts, we learned our lesson on
page 170 in our Language Book.  Our lesson was about "subject, verb, agreement."We learned all about it; and watched a quick video on it.  Then we had to complete
a page in our Language Workbook to see if we understood our lesson; there were ten
questions.  Then there was snack, everyone went outside to eat and play.  When wecame in, our class and the teacher talked about the states.  Then we all started correcting
our math homework.  Our teacher, Ms. Jensen, taught us about "symetric property of
equality."  Everyone learned so much from this.  Then everyone got started on their math
homework because they all got the lesson very easily.  Afterwards, it was finally lunch time
and everyone came running down the stairs to have lunch.   
When we came in to our surprise, it was computer class for one hour.  The whole class
had so much fun and learned so much from what our computer teachers taught us about
making movies.  Our class then sang a song aboiut the states and their capitals right after
computer class.  The person singing it was a cartoon chaacter named Wakko Warner.  
 
Next everyone finished up their states that they worked on earlier during the day.  Then we
packed up and left the school.

This morning we started the day with Today’s Quote and Logic Link #53.  I think that today’s logic link was pretty easy!  After about 20 minutes of working on morning we had music.  Today Mr. Howell brought in two different types of instruments.  He brought the xylophone and drums.  A few f my classmates got to play on the xylophone and made different types of notes.  When music was over, we had to finish the rest of our morning work and collect our things to pray the rosary at Church.
           
            When we got to Church, our prayers started with the Apostles’ Creed.  Upon returning to class, we started our spelling pretests, but in the middle the bell rang for snack.  After snack, we ended our pretest and corrected it.  I got two wrong!  Finally Math came.  We did a math pretest for homework and we did the real thing today.  Since I finished early, I got to read my book.   
            Our class has been working on partner inventions, so a little time before lunch we were able to work on them.  My partner and I have invented Mutant Makeup. It is mascara, eyeliner, and lip balm combined in one specimen. At 12:20 lunch began.  It lasts forty minutes. When we got back to the classroom, Social Studies began. We have been learning about the fifty states in the U.S.  During Social Studies, we have been coloring pictures of each state.  Afterwards was Science.  In our books, we read pages B91-95 and on B95 we did questions 1-3.  Now came time to write down our homework and pack up for the ending of a wonderful St. Timothy’s  School day!

RRRRRiiiinggg! Goes the school bell. All the kids on the playground stop playing and get in their classroom lines. All the teachers come out talking, laughing, or just smiling. The 5^th grade teacher, Ms. Jensen was absent, so the 3^rd grade teacher Mrs.D, took my class with her class to her classroom.

The 5^th grade sat at a bean shaped table and read for 2 minutes. When Mrs. D. said “Put your backpacks near your classroom door”.  Reese found a deck of cards.  Most of the class played card games and some read.  Around 3: 42 my best friends, Asha, and Selena begin talking, I joined in the conversation.  

It was about one of the best substitutes we’ve ever had, Ms. Amanda. Selena had asked who she was.  Asha and I told Selena all about Ms. Amanda. Selena looked up and said “who is she?” While we were talking Ms. Amanda stood at the doorway listing to our conversation! Me and Asha turned around and said at the same time “Its Ms. Amanda”! We sounded like twins. Ms. Amanda told the class to follow her to the classroom.  

When we got inside our classroom we unpacked, got out our reading book, and read the story Girls think of everything.  The story is about inventions we use today that were invented by women. After that we got out our scan tron, privacy folders, paper, and test booklet. Then we took the reading test. Later we took the spelling test. When we finished both test the class worked on a sheet that looked like the cover of the book.

On the sheet you had to make up a name for a book you would write, then color it and on the bottom write what it was about. RRRiiiinnnggg! Snack time!  After snack was math we corrected our math homework, and worked in our workbook. 20 minutes later we went to preview the book fair. We had to take our lunch bags because when we would come out of the book fair it would be lunch. There was a lot of things in there books, toys, and other stuff.

After we were done looking at the book fair it was time to have lunch. When we finished lunch we took our social studies test on the 13 western states and their capitals. After the test we had free time. Later we had Stations of the Cross which is when the school goes to the church to stand. When the altar servers get to a picture someone would go to the microphone and, read about what happens in the picture. When station of the cross was done the class went to the classroom, packed up, and went home.  

Another great day at St. Timothy School.
