Daily Reporter Hello again! I guess I’ll start with what happened TODAY. Again, we will start in the next few paragraphs. Today was and still is snowing. I was surprise to see that there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky. Well I //thought// so. I learned and made a connection about a quote from the daily doings board. “A//lways set highest goals as possible, don’t settle for less”//. My connection is that that is what I do and what Ms. Moline says. We are late for orchestra/band //again//. How many times do we really need to be late? Oh! I almost forgot! You’re here. Yes, I do suppose that you are asking WHAT happened, not who, //what happened// when I went to orchestra. I do play violin. We were doing solo music for instruments. Oh yeah. People who go to band, just for your information, orchestra is NOT stupid. It was surprising that Mrs. Makalom (is that how you spell it)-orchestra assistant was not here-didn’t show up today. Mrs. Theolin said that since it was a snow day, she could have a day off. Next, we did science. We got into our moon groups we arranged about a week ago and worked on our project. We all had different parts of work. Some examples would be like transportation, air supply and waste management. Hadi and I worked as a group. Our work was to create communication, moon to moon. We needed the electricity group in order to make the plan work out. We got ideas, failed, looked in the internet and still failed. Boy, was that science project challenging! I didn’t know THAT was in the way. I guess I should have expected that because I’m in CHALLENGE school. See, I’m being CHALLENGED. But I and Hadi are inexperience. Still, Hadi has good ideas. After that, came math. We had to finish some problems, which turned out really boring and we had math homework. After the problems, the class was usually loud. What surprised me the most, is that time went really quickly! Huh, that was weird! Later came lunch and recess. That was the //normal// schedule, of course. I used them up for a program called Quior. It’s a program that people join us, //if// they want to sacrifice their recess time. This used to be with a boy, but the boy left and now we are all girls. We sing, warm ups and songs, have performances and solos. Our coming up performance is our 2nd performance and this time, it’s about Christmas, so we do Christmas songs this time. We also discuss changes happening in songs and add some more parts on people that want to do solos. Now it’s time for the best part- the specialist. We had a guest who was Hadi’s mom who was teaching us how to do a self-portrait the //right// way. She explained about some portraits about why it looks like what it is. She gave a demo of her own portrait and we followed. She had a master degree in fine arts and by the look, she is really good at it. She was so generous that she let me take home 2 of her drawings and I got her signature! All I can say is wow. Everything else passed on smoothly. It seemed quite fast. It was practically the best day of my life! I’m waiting for another adventure like this!
