Party
For morning business everyone got their chairs and found their desks. Everyone was really excited about the party coming up this afternoon. There was a writing topic on the board so everyone wrote about it for homework.
Then, in band… everyone warmed up to get ready for the concert, for the entire school and for extra practice for that night. Then, everyone got ready, got their instruments and music and went out to perform. After we were done, we went back into the band room and everyone had done a really good job for the concert and had a lot of fun doing it! It was just the fifth and forth grade doing it – so it was a challenge, but not that much because we already knew all the songs!
After that it was already time for math. Everyone had a big surprise when we walked into the room, tests, retakes, and more tests – - a lot of fun. NOT! It was pretty boring and nobody liked it much.
It was time for reading…since the next day we were going to read to assigned buddies that were second graders, we had to get some practice in. So the teacher pulled out sticks from a cup to assign partners in our class to read. Once everyone had one partner (some people had two) we read out loud from our book. Some people got done really early so we read the other persons book for their buddy – it was a lot of fun.
The day was sure flying by, it was already language arts. Then, we had a challenge like the day before, we got our open court books out and tried to sum up just about each and every page in just 20 words – we had to get in all the main details… no one understood this. But, we got it done. The teacher tried to get us to do one page by yourself but no one understood this. So, she had to assign one person that did get it and one person that didn’t so we could help each other out. Some people still did not get it… so the teacher had to write up on the board an extra 20 word practice to help understand the directions.
Finally it was time for recess and lunch – everyone couldn’t wait! Everyone went outside to play in the snow-covered white stuff. Then it was lunch – everyone had a plan, barely bring anything for lunch or don’t eat that much off the tray with food that was ordered just so at the party we could shove ourselves full of junk food. Everyone I asked had the same idea – I’m pretty sure there wasn’t that much to go home after the sweets and treats.
Finally we walked up the never ending stairs and we were to the party. At the party everyone went to different stations that my mom Amy made for different crafts. Everyone went in different directions trying to get into all the different crafts that they thought were the best. Mrs. Morris’s hot glue guns were really annoying – they kept getting really hot and if you tried to get the glue to come out, you’d get burned! It really stunk. I think everyone got almost all the crafts done. Plus there were no social studies and no science – it was a blast – party minus school equals perfect. The teacher didn’t know it, but everyone went over to make part of piece of jewelry for her – the next day she opened a bag full of jewelry from the class and she loved it. Then finally when everyone did almost all the crafts the teacher helpers went over to try and open the food and try to set it up. There was a lot of food – so much I can’t believe we ate as much as we did. Everyone in the class brought Miss Morris a gift or helped make the bracelets and necklaces.
The teacher surprised us with writing awards. No one knew about it except her. Only two people met their goals out of the class for writing in our novels and a lot of people are still writing in theirs that they already got back.
The teacher passed out presents to the class, you got to choose a book and she gave us all a card with a class picture in it – especially for us, with a homemade snow flake. The day was finally over! But everyone had to come back for the band concert that night. Most of us were in it anyway. It started at 7:00 PM so we had to go back to the school; it was the best part of school that day. Exciting and stressful because so many people were nervous about being up on stage – BUT WE ALL DID GREAT!
THE END!
