Daily Reporter By: Olivia Park When I came to school this morning, I sat down and waited in the hall for Ms. Moline to call us in. When she called everybody in, she handed each of us a white envelope. I could tell that everyone was wondering what was in theirs. As soon as I had unpacked, I sat down and opened the envelope. Inside, there were four trading cards. I was very excited. We had been working on putting the cards together for a while and this was the first time that we had gotten them. Ms. Moline explained that at the end of each day, we would get a chance to trade cards with one another in order to collect all of them. After she had explained, the announcements came on and we recited the pledge of allegiance. Everyone in the class knew that after the announcements were over it was time for Band and Orchestra. As soon as I walked into the room, I was nervous. The reason I was nervous was because that today was the day that we were scheduled to perform our solos. Ms. Theilin explained to us that she would call us up to the “stage” and we would play. When I was called up I was very nervous. I quickly played Frère Jacques, bowed, and went off of the “stage”. My friends all told me that I had done a great job. When orchestra was over, we came back to the class and lined up for Library. When we came to the door, Mrs. Sayward said that we should each get a clicker, a pencil and a sheet of paper. After everyone had sat down, she explained to us that she was going to put some questions up on the screen and that we should answer them with the clicker or on the paper. Some of the questions were easy to answer but some of them made me really think. Ms. Moline came to pick us up and take us back to the classroom. She said for us to settle down and take out “We the People”. After everyone had done that. She told us to read chapters eight and nine. While we were reading, Ms. Moline walked around the room and handed out sheets of papers to everybody. Once everyone had finished reading, She told us how to fill out the paper by using the charts and graphs in our books. She got us working on those until it was time for lunch and recess. When everyone came in from recess, we got our math supplies and went to Ms. Water’s classroom. As we were coming in, Ms. Water told us to give her our math journals and books. After everyone had settled down, she passed out the tests and explained that we could use calculators. When I first got the test I was nervous but after I answered the first question, I knew that I could do it. Even thought there were a few questions where I had to look at a while before I knew the answer, I went through the test fairly quickly. Before I knew it, math was over, As the class came in from 2nd recess, we got out our planners, wrote down what we did today and packed up for the computer lab. We walked down to the computer lab and logged on. When I was finally on the website, I took out my nutrition chart and added more data. By the end of the day, I realized I had gotten a lot more accomplished than I had thought.
