We started the day by doing our Palm Game Friday that Mr.Vincent beamed us on Friday. Our game was called SameGame. We had to match the same square that was the same color. You need to tap on it twice to get your highest score you can get. Next we did math. As usual, Brian and I went to Mrs. Lorsbach's room for math. We worked on division. If we get all of our work done correctly, then we get to play Math Blaster on the computer. We were both late for music class again. In music, we finished watching a movie called Beethoven Lives Upstairs. It was a movie about a boy whose dad dies and his mother marries Beethoven. It started out badly but it had a happy ending. Afterwards, it was time for WART. We went into our reading groups. We took turns reading Santa Paws and the New Puppy out loud. In this part, Mr.Callahan got a stomachache and ended up in the hospital. It was starting to become a really lousy Christmas for the Callahans. Next, we played Tic Tac Toe, and we used Wordmasters 1 in Quizzler on our handhelds. If we got the answer right, we put on a tally mark. If we get it wrong, we don't put on a tally mark. Whoever gets three in a row wins a ticket. The ticket can be used to let you sit on the couch. Finally! It was time for lunch! We had pizza sticks with corn, pears, Oreo cookies, and milk. We had to save our milk cartons to make our Gingerbread Houses on Wednesday. After recess, we had a Proofread It worksheet to do. We had to find four spelling errors, three punctuation errors, and one capitalization error. Next, Mrs.Magstadt, Willowdale's counselor, had us draw something that was organized and unorganized. Then we had to show what we drew. She was trying to teach us the difference between being organized and unorganized. Now it was time for Mr. Vincent to read aloud to us. He is reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to the class but Brian, Drew and I had to meet with Mrs. Olson. I wonder what happened to Harry today! Finally, the day was over, and we all went out the door! Only four more days until Christmas vacation! |
