February 25, 2011 by Justin



My mom woke me up and told me to do my least favorite thing after it snows. As you may have guessed, it was scooping the snow off of the driveway. There are good and bad things about snowstorms, the good thing was that we had a late start. The bad thing is scooping snow. I guess scooping snow has a good reward, M&M pancakes for breakfast! After I threw down my breakfast, I got ready to go to school.
Once I got to school, I sat around and talked with my classmates until it was time for lunch count and the flag salute. After that, Mrs. Dux told us the schedule for the day. All of my classmates got off to a good start for the day because we were only going to have a few classes for the day because school didn’t start until 10:30.
Mrs. Mac and Mrs. Hudson had their classes come into our classroom to watch a movie called “Blind Sight.” The movie had several blind kids that were going to climb a mountain near Mt. Everest. It also showed what the life of a blind person would be like with all of their daily challenges that most people would not face.
It was time for lunch only a half hour after school started. I wasn’t even hungry when we ate. Well I have to admit, that was a first. Even though it was delicious, I didn’t eat much of my chili, cinnamon roll, or muffin. It was time to go to our classrooms for indoor recess where I played Patrick in several astonishing games of Connect 4. Recess was flying by like always, so it was already time to clean up and listen to Mrs. Dux read “Hunger Games.”
After 15 minutes of reading, it was time for art. Today we were told to draw a picture of our shoe. We all did that for 30 minutes. We have art every Friday, so we will have more time to finish our shoes.
Mrs. Dux told us to line up and go down the halls to library. Today we had Mrs. Pierce as a guest teacher. There we typed drill 14 where we learned new keys, p and v. When everybody was done typing, we went back to our classroom for math. All we did was check our assignment from the previous day, which was the chapter review. Then we got our computers and went to Moodle for our chapter test. Then we had time to play educational math games.

Once math was over, everyone came back into our classroom to finish the movie. This time, the kids got to the top of the mountain. The next morning they climbed back down the mountain. That took about 30 minutes to finish. Then everyone walked back to their classrooms.
During study hall, we were allowed to play games since I was the only person that had an assignment (lucky me). Since I couldn’t get my assignment done at school, I played Rack-O with Kadin, and Mary. Mary won and I got second.

Roving Reporter was fun like always. I love to be Roving Reporter but I’m glad that I don’t have to do it every day because it takes a lot of time. I can’t wait until I get to do Roving Reporter again. It is one of my favorite assignments.
