I woke up this Friday at 6:30 with my dad saying “Good Morning, do you want me to turn on the light?” That was how I started off the day.
After I got off the bus I walked into the school, and into my room, to drop off my book bag. Then I started trekking off toward the armory to do the usual walk around the red line in the gym.
After a few rounds, Mrs. Dux gave the signal that it was time to gather up our possessions and head into the building. When we got settled in, we did the lunch count and flag salute, which is the all too familiar routine. After the flag salute, I found out that it was not to be any regular old Friday. Mrs. Dux announced that she had other plans for the afternoon, and that we would have a guest teacher for half the day. That was followed by a lot of groans that I’m sure made her head hurt. But it was time for reading, so Mrs. Dux was saved one massive headache, for now, anyway.
Once we were in reading, we checked pages 96, 101, and 102. We had such a huge gap between those numbers because we had been working on main idea and summaries, and that was what those four pages had been about. Then Mrs. Dux handed us a test and made us take an oath not to have any help, or use any resources. Then in language arts, (we’ve started having the classes together) she told us that she challenged Mrs. Ruhnke’s class to a writing competition, and the writing topic was to describe your dream bedroom. I didn’t think that that was a great writing topic, but she said that it would make you all the better author if you can make that sound interesting. Then out of the blue, she said it’s time for science.
When we were in science, she passed out leveled readers, which was odd, as we only had those in reading, or so I thought. But Mrs. Hudson said that she was giving us an art background. But the real reason was to show us what bronze is made of, and it happened to be in the Michel Angelo book. Then it was time for social studies.
We all filed into homeroom, and then she started social studies. We didn’t do much, but I liked it. Mrs. Dux handed back the tests that we had taken earlier that week. Then she told us our work book pages. When I couldn’t stand it any longer because the smell of yummy food wafted in from the cafeteria, and it signaled that it was time for lunch.
When we entered the cafeteria, we thought we smelled fiestada, but that couldn’t be right, we were supposed to be having something else. But, we were right! It was fiestada, and it was really good. Then it was time for recess.
When the bell rang and we all sat at our desks, we noticed something. Mrs. Dux was leaving, and in her place was Mrs. Schultis, but it was fine. In art we worked on valentine bags for Valentine’s Day. Then it was library time.
In library, we worked on the pyramid of success. I thought that it was very interesting. I really like enthusiasm and hard-work. That means that if we want to be successful we need to work hard with a smile on your face. Then it was math class.
For math we did a test on the Macintosh computers and she gave us an assignment in the textbook and a packet to do.
When math was over, we trooped over to Mrs. Mac’s room to do spelling. Last week we split into different groups. One was skipping five lessons, and the other was staying where we were. I was in the group that went ahead. But this week, she decided that we were all going to do the same lessons. So that meant that the skippers were going to have to do something else, so we did two work sheets.
After spelling we had study hall. In study hall I finished my math, and then for Fun Friday. I ate my airhead, and then worked on my Valentine bag. All in all, today was a pretty good day.
