Nicole-Daily+Report-February+23

__February 23,2011 Reporter: Nicole__

SNOWING! FROSTY! FOGGY! That was the weather today, folks. Hey!! It’s me, the best, the awesome, the great beyond words, NICOLE!!!! Now, now please lower the applause, (and yes, there was an applause, geez.). Today was kind of a normal day. This particular Wednesday we had not Mrs. Moline, nor Mrs. Brown to teach us. We had.... (Dramatic silence) Mrs. Johnston!!!!Anyway, here’s the Did you know fact today: A diamond mined in Brazil is harder than a diamond mined in Africa. So, let’s start the day of February 23rd.

From 9:05-9:50 was band and orchestra. Here’s what band did. We played Blue’s adventure (part a), Bugler’s dream (nice job trumpets!!), Beethoven’s ninth, Jasmine flower, Top gun anthem, and Let’s go band. Top gun anthem and Let’s go band were new sheet music.

As all the musicians got settled after band and orchestra, Mrs. Johnston told us we were having SILENT (shh) work time until 10:40. So, everyone got to work or read silently. What I noticed was that most people were doing art…weird huh…weird…

At about 10:45, we started to do math. We worked on 3.3, dividing decimals. Mrs. Johnston talked about the lesson then told us to work on parts A-D, 3.3. As most people were finishing, she put a paper on the projector screen, a handout. It was called Olympic Calculations. There were 5 girls each with their 4 scores in the Olympics. It was sort of a quiz. We were to find their averages and state who got first place, second place, and third place.

After that heavenly time we call lunch and recess was over, we finished up math and started social studies. We read “We the people” page 20 and answered questions 1-5 on a separate paper. We also did colonies. We did sailing round number 2. The republic of shank is still in the lead and the messengers of god are in last. This ended at about 2:00.

Music was at 2:00. Usually, we play on the xylophones. We did today again. Reminder: we have alto, soprano, contra bass, and the small silver xylophones I forgot the name of. Mrs. Graham reviewed lean on me introduction and taught us part 1 of lean on me. Music ends at 2:30

Now, here’s a thought about the day. I think band was the funniest because after the first time we played let’s go band we were supposed to say, let’s go band! Except no one did except Hannah (from Hagen). She half said it then stopped because no one else did. NOOOOOOO…..oh, sorry…it’s just that it’s time for me to leave…boo-hoo…until next time! Tune in next time for nicole1news every time I do a report! Farewell!!
