Nicole-daily+report-december+8

__ December 8, 2010 Reporter: Nicole __ Today was an awesome day! Today was especially rainy, probably because of the Pineapple Express (a tropical rainfall from Hawaii) coming up in the weekend and warmer in the afternoon. There were a few events that don’t happen exactly every day. Those events were Band/Orchestra, and the play (which was great!). I’ll tell you about those later, but let me tell you what happened in the morning. Joe, Bella, and Christopher did the Daily Doings (of course!!). The number fact was: 8 is the 3rd number that stays the same when written upside down. The class did a little thinking and found out the first 2 numbers were 0 and 1. Now, let’s move on to the rest of the day.

At 9:05, we had Band/Orchestra. In Band, we put our instruments together and practiced a little. Then, we played Better than rest, Good King Wenceslas, Dreydl Dreydl, Reaching down, Shoo fly, Eight-note express, Rhythm riddle, Bile them cabbage, Surprise symphony, London bridge(parts a and b), Climbing higher, and Stodola Pumpa. We also had a contest on Good King Wenceslas, if the boys won the girls would have to put stars around “King”, if the girls won, the boys would have to cross out “King” and replace it with “Queen”. Who won you ask? Well……… THE GIRLS WON!!!!!! WHOO!!!!!.....well, I’ve shown my happiness……moving on. Special thanks to Lexa and Marissa for telling me what they did in orchestra. According to them, they, got the sheet music for Jolly old St. Nick, played dreydl, and jingle bells. Also, Ms. Theilen hurt her back, so she wasn’t there.

At about 10:05, we had day 4 of round 2 of 30 time. You might have heard about 30 time by another fellow reporter of mine. Just to clarify, 30 time is a time we try to have every day of something to do with your group. The individual groups were finishing up, but the group projects probably needs tomorrow for the catch-up day.

At 10:55, we started Social Studies. Ms. Moline introduced a movie we would watch part by part. It was called “Desperate Crossing”. The part we watched was about puritans (wanted to make religion better) and separatists (wanted to separate from religion and have more religions). At the end, we discussed the movie and took some notes.

We ate lunch, and had recess. Then, we had work time until 1:20, the musical. The musical was… (Drum roll)….Oink! Oink was pretty much like the three little pigs, but was a bit different and more exciting. From our class, there were 5 people in the play. They were, Joe, Sarah, Molly, Christopher, and Lily. I want to congratulate them for a spectacular performance (Encore! Encore!!)!!! We were supposed to have Music at 2:00, but we were still watching the play, so we skipped music (I know, sad).

In my opinion, the play was the most fun because it was very funny and really cool!!! Well that’s the end of my report… see you next time!!
