Tuesday, 4/7/09 Reported By: Nina

In the morning at 7:55 a.m. we walked in from the playground it was the start of a new day. The first thing we did was to listen to the morning announcements, which included the “Pledge of Allegiance.” After the morning announcements we did our daily Logic Link puzzle. The Logic Link puzzle is a puzzle in which you get clues to figure out were the chips go.

After completing our Logic Link, we took our rosaries and library books and left the classroom. We went to the St. Timothy Library it is located in the Chapter room. I checked out a book about optical illusions. Our second stop was church where we prayed the “Sorrowful Mysteries.” After returning to our classroom we read “Catching the Fire.” The story is about a blacksmith who went to Washington D.C. and displayed his art at the National Mall. Then Ms. Jensen told us to work on our “Invention Project.” Our invention is called the “Arrow Mark” which is a bookmark that slides out to be an arrow pointing at the word last read in book. It was then time to go to snack break.

After snack break we did our daily math. We then corrected our homework. After correcting our homework we did Mental Math. It is a warm up exercise where we do math in our head and time ourselves. This is a good problem solving exercise. We then did Math Notes. The lesson was about transversals. After Ms. Jensen taught us about transversals she let us do five minutes of our homework. Then it was time for lunch.

After lunch, Ms. Jensen told us to collect box tops from our Grade we are representing. Sadly, our 8th grade had no box tops. Then Ms. Jensen told us to work on our State sheets. I worked on several states. We then did our Tuesday packets. We then packed up and waited to go home. At three o’clock we went outside to be picked up by our parents. Another exciting day at St. Timothy’s school.
