Today is Thursday February 14, 2008. Happy Valentines Day to all! I was excited to go to school for our party. Everyone has been sick, so that part is not so great. I hope everyone gets better over the long weekend.
We entered Mrs. Dux’s classroom with excitement. We started the day
as we do on every other day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Afterwards we took lunch count. Today we had Chicken
Quesadillas.
In science class today we started by taking an L to J quiz. After
that we checked a short worksheet on Abe Lincoln. We then checked
our heat sources worksheet and we opened our textbook to pages E58
and E59. Mrs. Hudson then gave us an assignment on heat. We learned
about radiation, conduction, and convection.
Reading class was pretty much the same as every other day. We read
lesson 58 and finished our workbook page. We are still working on
better reading skills. Class seemed slower than molasses today.
Mrs. Dux didn’t make us take our test today. This made me as happy
as a clown. We worked on spelling words instead. With so many
people sick this week, I think she felt sorry for us. Thank you,
Mrs. Dux!
Lunch and recess were up next for the day. We had indoor recess
today due to the cold weather. I spent recess working on my
science. Inside recess is not as much fun as going out into the
fresh air and running as quick as rabbits.
In math class we checked the front of our worksheet and then worked
on the back. We then took an L to J quiz. After our quiz we started
to learn more vocabulary words. We were going to play a game, but
time went by faster than a running spider.
Music class was next. We finished watching the movie Newsie.
Afterword’s we headed over to PE. Boat races are what we did today.
We put scooters on mats and sat on them and someone else pushed us.
It was really hard because the person pushing got tired.
In social studies we learned more about working with Microsoft
Publisher. For example, we learned how to enter pictures. Then we
made Valentine Cards for our family and we learned how to make
pictures.
Study hall was the last class today. We had our Valentine’s Day
party and everyone finished passing out their Valentines. When the
bell rang, we were all excited because we get a long weekend.
Friday is Winter break and Monday is an in-service day so we get to
stay home. I grabbed my books and backpack and was ready to go home
for a long weekend.
