As students walked in from outside to the halls, they hung up their coats and backpacks. The halls were filled with talking as the children walked to their classrooms. Everyone checked in and most said, "Hello," to Mr. Vincent. I personally thought that Mr. Vincent was in a good mood. Right before we were about to start math, Mrs. Kelly came into our classroom to tell us that the model rocket launch would be postponed until Thursday. Many of us were disappointed by that bad news. I know I was. After that little interruption, we started math. In math, we first checked Math Boxes. It was graded for completion. Many of us were glad of that. Then we were assigned Math Boxes 10.4 and page 358. Mr. Vincent gave us a lot of time to work. Next it was time to go to gym. In gym we played a game where you have to get 12 balls on you side. The balls sat on these little disks with big holes in them. That game took a long time to win. Right after gym we had visitors that wanted to learn about Palm hanhelds. While they were here, we worked on our Interactive Stories. After most of the people left, we finished Cricket in Time Square. Mr. Vincent gave us a selection test for that book. We read and worked until lunch. Hot lunch wasn't that hot, really. It was sack lunch with a peanut butter sandwhich. Right after recess the people that were in this one Lego class showed our class the robots they made. Charlie's robot could run upside-down. Then we studied spelling. We used SpellIT to study on their handhelds. Some children did Jumble. Others just did Practice mode. Then it was time to go home. Students said their goodbyes to Mr. Vincent and left. Back
