I opened my eyes; I heard a persistent beeping sound coming from my alarm clock. It must be 6:00. I have the type of alarm clock that won’t shut off until I slide the “off button”. My brothers weren’t up yet and weren’t supposed to be until 6:20, so I quickly leaped out of bed and shut it off before they heard it and woke up. I quickly did some memory verses with my eyes half closed. Then mom walked down the hall signaling that it was time to get ready for another busy day, I don’t like busy days. Then, before I knew it, the bus pulled up. I jumped aboard, but without my folder. But thankfully, my mom saved me one massive heart attack.
When we got to school, we did the laps around the red line, then headed inside to do the normal routine. Today for lunch we were going to have some turkey tetrazzini, that’s what I ordered. Next thing I know, it’s time for reading, and kids are filing in.
When we were in reading, Mrs. Dux did a PowerPoint. It started off with a quick review of the vocabulary words for the story we’re working on, then went into poetic devices and then, using our knowledge of word parts, had to define the word. One of the words was hypodermic. After reading was language arts. Mrs. Dux read some more of our persevere stories. Then out of nowhere, she announced that it was time for science.
Mrs. Hudson went over our papers, and then brought out slim. Slim is a model of the human skeletal system. He had brown on the front part of his chest, Mrs. Hudson explained that was cartilage. She handed out an assignment that would only take two minutes. Then the clock struck 10:30, and we all raced out of the room for social studies.
We finished our test and clicked it in. Then she handed out a piece of paper that said, “Design a memorial and explain who you would donate it to, what you needed to build it with and whether the supplies would have to be shipped, or found in Fairbury.” I decided to do a stack of A B C blocks, and donate it to all the miscarried babies and children who have died. The bell rang signaling that it was time to enjoy a splendid meal.
The turkey tetrazzini was superb! We, surprisingly, had outside recess. But the light drizzle had let up, so it wasn’t too bad. It was actually nice outside. When the bell rang, a herd of elephants came clomping over to the line. Then we went inside to listen to Mrs. Dux read Hunger Games. Next we had music.
We practiced for our program in music. I like the actions to Jail House Rock the best. After music is P.E, we did shuttle run for the physical fitness testing. Shuttle run is where we stand on the red line, and on the other red line is two wooden blocks we have to run to the first line and grab a block then run back to your starting point, then repeat for the second block. Next in our busy schedule is math, my “favorite” subject.
We did a practice NESA math test. I felt really good on the score I got. The good part was, we didn’t get any homework. Thank-goodness! Then we all went to spelling.
We did lesson 59 in spelling. But halfway through the period, we got into a big discussion about the morphagraph im and in. So, I didn’t get a lot of time to work on the lesson, but we had a good talk. Then it was time for study hall.
I had mass band for study hall today. It wasn’t too crazy as it is sometimes. We worked on Shine and Regal March. After band was over, I worked on spelling. Then it was time to go home. When the bell rang, it was like letting a zoo loose as we all headed for the door. All in all, it was a great day.
