Nicole-Daily+Report-october+8th

__October 8, 2010__ __Reporter: Nicole__ Today was pretty much a day like any other. The weather was cold from morning to noon and in the afternoon it got warmer. Today, we had our 2nd classroom meeting! (Hooray!) Before I talk about that, let me tell you about the things our class did before our exciting class meeting. Joe, Bella, and Christopher did the Daily Doings as always. In my opinion, I thought the number fact was the most interesting. It was: According to Indian mythology, Earth is supported on the backs of __8__ white elephants. Also, Daphne did the lunch count. After that, we had about 45 minutes of study time. Most people were working on an assignment instead of reading. (That means most people had things to do.)A pleasant thing was during most of the study time, it was quiet, which means most people were on task. Next, we had our morning meeting (finally!). In the beginning, we shared our shout-outs, which is if you see someone do something helpful to someone, you point it out during that time. Only two people had shout-outs, Mrs. Moline and Lexa. Mrs. Moline gave a shout-out to the class for not misbehaving, and Lexa said one to Lydia for helping me get my chair into the meeting. Now here is the fun part, we shared our cute and friendly self-created Muppets! Mrs. Moline randomly drew some names to share Muppets and picked Lexa, Jacob, Molly, and Crystal. They shared their Muppets and their Muppets biographies. At the end, we talked about grading in the __CHALLENGE PROGRAM__, which was different than regular school grades. Overall, it was a pretty awesome meeting. (Of course!) After the meeting, we went to the computer lab for our 1st spelling test (huh, in the computer lab?!?!). It was new to me, but I don’t know if anyone else has done it before either. We took our test on our Troublesome Number Words. After that we had lunch and recess. When we came back from lunch and recess, we did a worksheet where you find out the miles and kilometers between your football team’s city and your opponent’s team’s city with a scale miler, which is a piece of paper that shows you how much a mile and kilometer is on your worksheet. What I liked about it was it was interesting to find out how far the teams had to travel. At 2:30, we had P.E. with Mrs. Jackson. In P.E., we did our normal starter stuff (Run 3 laps, exercise). After that, we did a game called flag tag where you make a flag stick out from your pocket and you try to grab other people’s flags. If someone takes your flag, you are NOT out. We passed a soft football with a partner and after that, we played Capture the __footballs__ with 6 footballs on each side. There were 2 teams Green jerseys and shirts. I was on shirts and at the end my team won. At the end of the day, (3:00) we had recess until 3:20. After recess was over, we packed up and left at 3:30. The best part of the day in my opinion is sharing Muppets because it was cool to see how creative everyone was with their Muppets they created. Thanks for reading this!
