February 17, 2010 by Mary


Hot and humid could describe this fifty degrees February morning. I woke up to my dad’s yelling voice, “Mary time to get up!” I got out of bed with an ugggggghhhh. Jumping in to the shower shaking off the sleep, and getting ready to fight the morning routine. Thirty minutes till I leave and I was still trying to give my dog her medicine. After that we all piled in the cherry red van and head off to school.
I decided to walk across the tennis courts to the armory instead of walking through the school. I really wish we were outside to walk, but I guess inside is alright too, I mean we get to enjoy music while we walk. Finally we headed off to homeroom and started reading class.
When we got settled down, Mrs.Dux read stories about our dream bedrooms. She read mine yesterday so I’m pretty happy that I didn’t have to get criticized, but I got to criticize. Some of the stories were amazing, some of them needed some work, but still they were all good. After reading we started language arts.
We had a writing assessment about our favorite place to visit; I did mine on the Rolla-Rena. We had thirty minutes to complete our rough draft. I thankfully finished mine (that’s a relief). After a quiet language arts class, we all chattered to see what Dr. Dave had for us in science.
During science we played with electricity. Well, actually we played with a nine-volt battery, two red wires, and three Christmas tree lights. Our groups had to figure out how to make a two-way switch (I wasn’t very successful) but one group figured it out. Once we all said good bye to Dr.Dave we, bombarded social studies.

During social studies we finished a video about Hinduism. Then we finished a packet on Hinduism , which we kept so we could study the information. Once we got done with it, we could all smell cheese and ran to lunch with our stomachs growling.
For lunch we had Macho Nachos with beans, carrot cake, and many kinds of fruits. After lunch we went to recess, and I played chicken on a hill, which is a trust game where you have to trust your partner to do the right movements. We all were hot and sweaty when we got inside to listen to Mrs.Dux read. After that we went to a musical music class.
During music we practiced our dancing for our program. After that we went to P.E with Mr.Edson. During P.E we played an arousing game of dodge ball. Then we went to our class for math.

In math we worked on changing decimals to fractions and fractions into decimals. Once we finally figured that out, we got two worksheets to do (they were actually pretty easy). Then we walked to spelling.
During spelling we did L-J, which was hard. We had words like dialog, domestication, and caption. I got six out of ten correct. I personally think that is awesome. Then after L-J we went to study hall.
During study hall I did my math. We did a math pop quiz that if we got 3-5 or up, we got a pull of the m&m machine. After study hall was done, it was time to go home at last.
