October 28, 2010 by Shane

Gobble, Gobble! My turkey alarm clock blared into my ear. It was morning, my least favorite part of the day. As usual, I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and hopped on the bus. When I arrived, I went up to the track as cold, crisp air made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
After fifteen minutes of walking, I went to my room. We did the lunch count and flag salute, and then moved to reading. In reading we caught up on our AR reading and talked about our vocabulary pictures.
Next was reasoning and writing. We graded lesson 37s independent practice. Then in spelling, we did an L to J vocabulary test. Next we went to science. There we did an experiment over distance learning. We tried to protect an egg with a paper bag, straws, string, and tape.


When we got done, the scent from the feistadas was making our bellies grumble like the great earthquake that shook San Francisco. After we gobbled down our food, it was time for PE and music.
In PE we played Ants and Grasshoppers tag. Then in music, we played Ode to Joy.
Then instead of math, we learned about the magazine sale and the cool prizes we could win if we sold enough magazines.
Then in band, we reviewed what we learned.


And in study hall, I worked for 15 minutes and then went home.


The bell rang and a bunch of excited kids came running out. It had been a good day in sixth grade.
