Sometimes, I wished the light from the sun would shut off, but I needed something to get me up for Monday. Right, Monday, a school day. As I crawled out of bed, I switched on the light and stood still till my eyes adjusted to the brightness. Growl, went my stomach. I needed to get going on the day. Changing my clothes and a quick straighten of my hair, I was ready to eat something, so I made pop-tart cereal. Pretty good if you ask me. Oh snap. The bus would be here in five. “Goodbye!” I yelled, and stepped out to find the cold air waiting to freeze my warm body. Finally the bus came and my body heated up again. Off to school, on a Monday.
Walking in the gym isn’t as fun as being outside. It is so crowded, and in my opinion, stuffy. The boys in one group and the girls scattered. I noticed the guys almost travel in a pack, and the teachers are Shepherds, and pushed us out of the way as if they were rock-stars pushing assistances. just joking, but they do make us move over. The music shut off halfway in a song, and it was time to head to class.
We did our typical start of the day, then headed to reading. In reading we talked about Erik Weihnmayer and how inspirational he was to kids. His blindness didn’t keep him from doing anything he set his mind to. Though he did fall eight feet down into his grandparents boat, but he made a good choice and used a cane. Next thing I knew it was time for language arts. We talked about our stories we wrote and our introductions. Mrs. Dux said I nailed mine, so yes I’m going to brag. Our assignment was to finish our rough draft. Time for spelling!
O-b-s-e-r-v-a-t-i-on was one of my words for spelling. We did a contest at first and then lesson 56. I got two easy words on our team, and we won by two too! Pretty funny how I did that right? Yeah ok, I also got lesson 56 finished. Science was next, time to go.
Science was pretty easy. We basically just read about high school students who go to NASA. Well look at the time. Lunch was here! “Time to dine!” says Mrs. Hudson.
Cheeseburger and tator-tots. I had hot but didn’t turn out eating all of it. At recess we stole the ball from the boys and the boys stole the ball from the girls. It was intense. Brrinnng went the second bell. When we got inside, Mrs. Hudson read Nowhere to Call Home. Library was just around the corner, literally. We typed of course, but this time it was different, we saw how many words we could type per minute, in other letters wpm. Music was singing for us to come in, though all we did was practiced our program. I checked the clock and look time for math.
Math wasn’t the greatest, but even though I didn’t get it done, I was looking forward for the day to come to an end. We learned about the LCM Least Common Multiple. I like the greatest common factor best, but I managed to make it through. To social studies, and away we go.
Social studies was a breeze. We checked page 33 and practiced vocabulary. There was no assignment but to study for our test on Wednesday. Study hall - finally!
Study hall was math and reading though I still had work to do, roving reporter. “Everyone line up!” Mrs. Hudson proclaimed. As we waited in the hall, everyone was chatting away ready to bust through the door like racehorses in the gate. Once all the teachers were at the doors, everyone bolted out. Back into the fresh air, I went up the stairs and loaded up on the bus. Home, was my next class.
