Diary

Today at St. Mark’s in the morning in the black box theater in decherd we watched the second graders do a Dress-up rehearsal. It was fun. There were multiple shows and some drumming. I liked watching it. I wore my new shoes mommy got me not so long ago. I tied and double knoted it. I like this day. I had science. We made thank you cards to Mr. Gopal which is Dillans grandfather. I also had library. We read two thanksgiving story’s. They were Thanksgiving at the Tappletons and Turkey Trouble. It was fun. After that, since we were so good listeners, we got a scratch and sniff bookmark apple pie. After library, in PE, we did not have PE. Instead, Doc and the other coaches walked us down to McDonalds. I played a few games and got a vanilla flavored ice cream. Hurray! I had a hard working day today. Are you going to have a good day?👍

Today at St. Marks I did not have language arts homework. I don’t know why. I had spanish. In spanish I did a review of what we learned so far so that we can do it on grandparents day. We want everything to be perfect and correct. It was fun in spanish. I also had drama and Mr. K and Mrs. Massy took away the wall. So, now the music classroom and the drama classroom are connected. So, we did a little bit of drama and a little bit of music. It was fun in music and drama. In PE we did some jump roping. some people already did twenty-five, so they can practice five on one foot and five on the other. And then maybe they can start doing some fancy tricks like a cross-over or a double or fancy feet tricks. But you got to learn the basics first. we also ran one lap around the football track with no timing. It was fun in PE. I had a fun and hard day!!! I hope you do to. Are you going to have a fun and hard day?👍

Today at St. Marks I had science. Dillans mother and grandfather came to explain about bridges. Dillans mother did not do much but turn the page. Dillans grandfather explained everything all about bridges. I also had art. In art I glued some more paper sculptures onto my big sheet of yellow and on my smaller blue sheet. It looked really nice afterward. In PE I did a few jump roping and played Capture the Flag. The way you play Capture the Flag is there are two flags in both circles in front of the soccer goals. One team is trying to get the flag on the other side of their side without being tagged and back. Whichever team has the flag they are trying to get on the lion at the end of the game, that team wins. My team won. We were the blue team. Our teammate Rodney got the flag. I had a fun, fabulous, thankful, wonderful, terrific, marvelous, and hard working day today.

Today at St. Marks I had three classes plus PE is four and they are spanish, art, and drama. In spanish I learned some spanish and we played kahoot. I was on team unicorn. I won two rounds with my team and then we were the champions. In art I used a blue quarter from a whole sheet of paper. As my base I finished cutting everything else. So I made some sculptures on my quarter. Then, I glued the blue quarter sheet of paper onto a whole yellow sheet of paper. Maybe next art class I can glue some more thing onto the side on the yellow sheet of paper. It was fun in art. In drama I played with puppets. Ms. Massy was the narrator and told a story. And the puppets acted out the story using our hands to move the puppets. It was fun in those classes and today. I like and had a hard fun day today. I hope you have day like this too.👍

Today at St. Marks I had science. I drew a picture of what my bridge will look like when I will try it next time. After that we asked Mr. Dillon if it was good. He said yes so Sioux and me played a app on the ipad called Build a Bridge. I made it to level seven. It is really hard. I also had music. We did not play the drums. Instead, we played a game that has a song going with it. It is called Grand Old Duke of York. For short you can call it GODOY. The game is when you sing Grand Old Duke of York, your partner will walk to each other and clap both hands. Then, when you sing He had 10,000 men, you walk backwards back to your spot and clap your hands. Then, when you sing He marched them up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again, you and your partner will walk up walk sideways behind your partner and walk backwards back to your spot. And every time you sing up you jump up and every time you sing down you squat down and when you sing halfway up you go halfway up. I also had typing clup and I was amazing that I got a prize. I was so good at typing that Ms. Whitaker was like Wow I have never seen a kid who can type so fast in this class. And guess what? I got 54,000 trophies on the screen and on the ipad. I got mostly five silver stars (which means I am so good) in ten or eleven rows. Isn’t that fast and cool?

Today at St. Marks I had computer. I played games in Code.org. But mostly Loops with Laurel. It is fun. You can only use ten pieces or fewer. So, if there is a long trail of gems, you can use the repeat piece and whatever number that it says, whatever you put in there, it will do that whatever number you put in there many times. It is fun playing that game. I learned that long ago people were called pilgrims, and when they saw these new strange people they called them Indians but they were actually Native Americans. The Native Americans were very nice they taught them how to fish and gather food and a lot more things. Then, they had a long feast. The feast lasted for three days. Isn’t that long. Then the Native Americans showed what they knew how to do. Then, the pilgrims started dancing. The pilgrims used the Mauflower to get there. Today was a good day!

Today at school I had Spanish. I learned some spanish and played Kahoot. I also had drama. I played a couple games. The first one was a game where everybody sits i a circle and Mrs. Massy will choose one person to be the guesser and one person to be the leader. The leader is going to do what ever they want to do staying criss-cross-applsauce. Everybody else will follow along. Then, the guesser will come out and take three guesses to find out who the leader is. We call this game Detective. The second game is a game where there is a Narrator and five or six acters. The Narrator will tell a story and the acters will act it out. Try to make a story easy to act out. And it has to be school appropiate. So it can’t have potty words or fighting or anything like that. It was very fun today. I hope I have another fun day tomorrow. Because I know you are.

Today I do not have school because it is parent teacher conferences. Mommy and daddy did not go to my school because they already went. Now it is time for a new kid to come. I have to do a better job at reading because I am going tomfast and I get the quiz wrong. So, I have to do a better job at reading which I am trying. Other than that Mrs. Beacom said I did a good job so far at St. Marks. It is fun staying home by yourself and with one family member, but sometimes you might get a little bit bored. But that is okay. On spring break which is in March, we might go to Ahma’s house. But we might not. We can have fun anywhere. Except in jail. That is only for bad guys. You don’t want to be like them. Right? Yeye and Nainai are both teachers they teach a school. But we won’t get to go to their house this weekend. Because they are at China.

Today I do not have school because it is parent teacher confrences Thursday and Friday. I got to go with mommy and daddy to the parent teacher conferences. Ingot to wait on the sofa next to Mrs. Malicks desk and read a book. Mommy and daddy are going to talk with Mrs. Beacom. At 10:45 we are going to go to Brett’s lunch. We can bring lunch or we can buy lunch. But we know we are going to eat lunch. I have a four day stay home day. On Tuesday Brett stayed home and guess what? He snuck up to the candy box and took at least 5 pieces of candy. Daddy did not even see him. But daddy knew Brett did that because his mouth was blue. And Brett lied for every candy. But since he lied we stood in the attic for two hours. Yesterday Brett lied again so he stood in the attic for 3 hours. And for the three hours he did not even eat dinner or anything except breakfast. He came out at bedtime. 8:00. I hope you are not like him.

Today at St. Marks I had Spanish. In Spanish I learned a new song I am going to sing on Grandparents day. I also had music. I sang a song. It goes like this: 5 little turkeys reading. We spent all night in a tree. When the cook comes around we don’t want to be found so that’s why were here you see. That is the end. I hope you liked it. In PE, I played Speedball. My team was Blake, Alex or Alexander, Jared, Milton, and Austin. I played against Weston’s team. Which were Weston, Willie, Akash, Charles, and Hugh. The score was 0-0. The other team might have scored one or two, but those were out of bounce so it doesn’t count. I also recited my poem. There is hand motions that go with it. It goes like this: Hiawatha by Henry Wodsworth Longfellow. By the shores of Gitche Gumee, by the shing big sea water, stood the wigwam of Nakomis, Daughter of the moon, Nakomis. At the door on Summer evenings, sat the little Hiawatha, heard the whispering of the pine trees, heard the lappings of the water. Sounds of music, words of wonder. Mine-wawa said the pine trees. Mudway-ashka said the water. I hope you like what happened today. I wonder what you are going to write. What?👍
