BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Went my alarm clock. I realized it was the last school day of the week, so I jumped out of bed, got ready for school, and left for a great day.
When I got to school, I headed straight into the armory to walk laps until it was eight twenty. Then we walked into the warm, sizzling school and headed for our classrooms. The first thing we did when we got into the classroom was take lunch count. Lunch was soft shell taco. I ordered hot lunch. After that, we said the Pledge of Allegiance and skipped off to class.
Reading was the first class of the day, and Mrs. Dux gave us an assignment of reading our story and filling out a main idea and details paper on the story, The Emperor's Silent Army: Terracotta Warriors of Ancient China. We worked on that for about five minutes, then it was time for Reasoning and Writing.
In Reasoning and Writing, we read stories about Nothing Ever Happens in Our Neighborhoods. That took up the whole class, so after that it was time for social studies. Social studies went by fast even though we only did two things which were, checking our Chinese New Year booklet and, studying our vocabulary for the test on Monday. Some of the words we studied were loess, terrace, levee, and double cropping. It was time for spelling already, so we went back to our classroom and waited for class to begin.
Spelling was easy because we had L to J. One of the words we had was archeology. Almost everyone got that right in my class, but a few people missed it. BRRINNNG went the bell which meant that it was time for lunch.
When my class got into the lunchroom, it was very loud, maybe because we were going outside for recess since we were trapped inside for awhile, but nobody really knew. After lunch was recess, and people flew out of the school like there was a fire because they were so anxious to be outside. I played horse on the basketball/tennis court with Natalie. While we were playing, screams came from the dodge-ball game. They were having their “championship” game which was like any other game that they played, but I guess it made a difference to them. Just as I made a shot, the bell rang, so I grabbed the ball and headed inside to read for 15 minutes.
I was reading, On the Banks of Plum Creek when the bell rang and it was time for math. In math all we did was check our math assignment on clickers and then Mrs. Simmerman came for Guidance Class.
In Guidance Class we read a story, and then Mrs. Simmerman gave us a worksheet to do. Then she left, and it was time for music.
In music we sang songs for our program. My favorite one was the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. Mr. Robe told us that he was going to have a boy dress up in a yellow polka dotted bikini. We laughed and then Mrs. Seibolt came and got us for P.E.
For P.E we did stations. Some of the stations were jumping rope, pushups, and situps. We got to do all of them before we had to go, but we were all looking forward to science, which was our next class.
In science we had Dr. Dave. Dr. Dave had two experiments for us to do. One was where you take vinegar and put it in a two liter bottle and take a balloon with baking soda in it and stick it over the bottle and pour the baking soda in it. The balloon then fills up with air from the baking soda, vinegar mixing together. The other experiment that we did was where you take a bottle of soap and food coloring mixed together and yeast and something else. And you pour it all in the bottle with the soap and swirl it around a little bit and it will start to erupt. After we did that it was time to go to band and study hall.
In band Mr. Luebbe told us to play a few pages, but then we played a song called Regal March. It was hard at first, but after you got the hang of it, it was pretty easy. After band we went back to our classrooms and had study hall. I did a little bit of my reading and then I got a treat for fun Friday. BBBRRRIIIIIIINNNNNG! Went the bell, which meant it was time to go home.
As I walked into the hallway, people were crowded in every nook and cranny there was. But after the long day came to an end, everyone was ready for the three day weekend to begin.
