The day began with everyone reading the news in Fling It on our handhelds.  We had to delete the one that was on there before we got the new one.  There were some pretty interesting news stories on there.
 
Math came next for everyone in class except another student and me.  The other student had to take a test in the conference room while I worked on math with Mrs. Lorsbach.  After that student was finished with the test, he came into Mrs. Lorsbach's room and found me playing Math Blaster.
 
Next, it was time for gym.  Aaron and Taylor H. rolled the dice and got a four which meant that we all had to do four laps outside in the freezing cold!  After we finished that, we all went back inside and played hockey.  The game ended in a one to one tie.
 
Then it was time for WART.  I had to go to Mrs. Lorsbach's room again.  There I read an Escape book called High in the Sky and answered questions about what I read.  Meanwhile, there were two high school girls from Millard West watching what went on in our classroom.  One of the girls was Mr. Vincent's little sister!  After I got back from Mrs. Lorsbach's room, it was time for Rita the storyteller.  She told us a story about the tasty sky in Africa.  It was supposed to teach us to not waste food.  Then we had to make up our own story.  We called it "The Child That Fell In the Well and Eventually Got Out."
 
Finally, it was time for lunch!  The "A" lunch was something new called lasagna rollup and the "B" lunch was spiral pasta.  I tried the lasagna rollup.  It looked a little like a casserole but it was really pretty good.
 
After a cold recess, we warmed up and took a spelling test. The two girls from Millard West gave us candy.  I would like for that to happen more often!  I hope everyone did a good job!
 
Social studies came next.  We wrote some more in our study guides and had a pop quiz.  There were ten questions.  Mr. Vincent wanted to see how much we knew so far.  I know I have to study some more!
 
Finally, it was time for read aloud.  We are still reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.  I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever finish this book! 
 
At last, it was time to go home!  I hope everybody had a good day!
