This morning, I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It read 9:00. I was upset that I had overslept. I rushed to get my clothes on. Then, I remembered that we had a two-hour late start due to snow. Phew, I was relived that I had not overslept. I went back to my normal Thursday morning routine. I took a shower and then got dressed. After that, I ate a delicious, steaming hot ham, sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich with orange juice off to the side for breakfast.
Then, I grabbed my coat and backpack and walked across the track for school. The temperature felt like it was ten degrees below zero. When I walked through the doors, I felt much warmer. I put my hands over my ears to warm them up.
Because of the late start, we didn’t have reading or language arts. So, our first class was science.
In science class, we learned about chemical compounds. Chemical compounds are two or more elements combined to make a new substance. For example Na is sodium and Cl is chlorine. With both substances combined, it creates sodium chloride, better known as table salt.
Instead of social studies next, we had lunch. While I was walking to the lunchroom with my classmates, I could smell the exquisite Italian toasted cheese with tomato soup. I gobbled down my food in no time at all.
I hurried to my classroom for recess. There, my friends and I played a far out game of Apples to Apples. It seemed like we had just started when it was time to clean up.
After that, everyone in my class listened to Mrs. Dux read, The Endless Steppe. Today in that story, one of Esther’s classmates went to a theater to ask if she could borrow a costume for school. They allowed Esther’s friend to borrow the costume. However, when Esther went to ask, she was told no.
Then we went to visit Mr. Roby in the music room where we worked on our program, Top 40. We learned the actions for three songs, Top 40, I love Rock ‘n Roll, and Jailhouse Rock. Before long, it was time to go.
Miss Seibolt picked us up from music and led us across the parking lot for P.E. There, we had a half hour boot camp where we jogged, skipped, did sit ups, and pushups. When we were finished, sweat was dripping from my head.
Next we had social studies where we read about China’s Past. When we were finished, we were assigned a workbook page.
Our next class was math. We checked our assignment from the previous day. Then, we were assigned a few problems about prime factorization from our textbook.
My class was off to spelling with Mrs. Mac. There, we had L to J. L to J is an ungraded quiz that we take every Thursday. We get words from every subject that we have learned or will learn. This weeks words weren’t as hard as usual because I tied my all time high of 8 out of 10 for the third time.
It was time for mass band. I hurried to Mrs. Dux’s room to get my trumpet and head to the band room yet again. Band went by fast like always as we played songs from our music book.
I only had 5 minutes for study hall, but I used my time wisely. I got as much work done as I could. Then the bell rang and it was time to go home.
Even though I didn’t have much to write about because there was a shorter day with the late start, I still enjoyed having this assignment. I hope you enjoyed my roving reporter for today. Thanks for reading my story.
