February 23, 2011 by Patrick


As the bell rang, it sent dozens of noisy children stampeding through the halls of the school. The sound level was set at maximum. The teachers shushed the loud students and the day had begun.
To get started, our class did the lunch count. The food we were going to eat today was goulash. After the lunch count was taken we recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Off to the first class of the day we went, which is reading.
During our reading time we took a look at our unit tests. Then after discussing our tests we clicked them in. As reading time started to come to an end, the homework came. The homework for reading was to do a graphic organizer on Unit 3. But next was Reasoning and Writing.
Right away we knew it was business. We barely got started and we had a new writing prompt. It was “Persevere to reach your dreams” and we had to web it out by tomorrow. Then we started in on the Reasoning and Writing book. As an assignment, Part E was due tomorrow. Before we knew it, we were out the door and on the way to science.
Once we were in science, we finished up a test we had started yesterday. The instructions were to finish up, give the teacher the test and she will tell you your next assignment. As it turns out, we had to copy our vocabulary words for the next chapter and write their definitions down. But the bell rang, and with no time at all I had four assignments. The next subject was social studies.
In social studies we watched a movie about Buddhism. After that we answered as many questions as we could that were off of the pre test. But before long our stomachs started to growl, and it was time to go to lunch.
The students filed into the lunchroom and lunch began. The talking turned loud again and pretty soon it was time for recess. During recess the whizzes of dodge balls filled the air. But the bell rang way too soon, and it was time to go inside.
Because we didn’t have music, we had technology class. We learned how to save pictures in the My Pictures folder. But in a blink of an eye, we were going to P.E. Today in P.E. we learned how to play Newton ball. It was a fantastic new game to play. Next in line was math class.

When we got in math we went over our assignment which was 1-34 on pages 204-205. That took up the whole hour. Our teacher was going to give us an assignment, but thank goodness, she decided against it. We could still do the assignment if we had time. The last subject was drawing nearer and nearer, and it was spelling.
Spelling started off with a test, but half way through our test, we heard the screeching of the fire alarm. We went outside and numbered off. No one missed a number; it was perfectly done. When we went back inside, we finished off the test. The last forty minutes of school were left, and it was time for study hall. Study hall was really productive for me. I got my reading, science, social studies and a little of my language arts done. But the bell rang, and it was time to pack up and get ready to leave.
Finally the bell sang for the last time that day, and it was that same stampede again. But I walked home feeling great due to the way today had turned out to be.
