Diary

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish and music and drama. In music and drama we practiced the hymns that we were going to sing on Friday. One of them was called Love Divine and that one was a pretty hard one but we still did it. After that we watched Sing. We watched a planetarium show. It was all about Dinosaurs. In PE we ran in the Spencer gym because it was raining so hard today and played Capture the ball. The way you play is each team has a ball and you have to try to go to the other team and take their ball. But when you are in the circle you cannot be tagged. When you have the ball you can either run to the middle with the ball without being tagged and that is 1 point or you can throw the ball to your team and someone has to catch it and that is 2 points. If your teammate doesn’t catch it then you are out. You are also out if you are tagged. You are allowed to rescue people from jail by running to that person without being tagged and walking back together to the middle. You can only rescue one person at a time.

Today at St. Mark’s I had science and art. In science I made a parachute. WE went upstairs and dropped our parachutes from way up high. Then we went outside and did an experiment. So we did something where you get a tablet and when it is your groups turn you put the tablet inside the water put the cap on and hear that snap, turn it over, and stand back. There were four groups with four people. One group had 5 milometers of water. On group had 10 milometers of water. One group had 15 milometers of water and one group had 20 milometers of water. Tristans went so high and he got first place. Alex got second place. His went so high. Jack got third. His was higher than everybody elses except Alex’s and Tristan’s. In art we put our sculptures up. I did make dinosaurs and a nest but we couldn’t find them so Mrs. Davis said she will look for them.

Today is Sunday. My baseball practice is cancled. Mommy said it’s probably cancled because many of my teammates have a football game and some of my teammates have to go to church. Once on a Sunday we had Sunday practice and it was so cold and not many of my teammates were there. Yesterday I had a baseball game and we won 10 to 1. I tried to hit a double or a triple or a home run but I didn’t. Once in the game I caught a ground ball and then I looked at second base and first base and runners were already on those bases so I just threw it to pitcher. When I was on defense I was third base defense man two times. Today I have a summer birthday party. We will be playing a game called Broomball I will need my hand, elbow, and knee pads for the game also I will need my helmet. Mommy will talk to Sioux and Willies mom for a playdate. Mommy said that maybe they can come over, have a little swim in the pool, and maybe even watch the Hobbit together. I meant they can come over at they same time so it will be three friends spending time together.

Today is the weekend. I am staying home. Daddy said that on Monday through Thursday we can do just our regular home homework and schoolwork which is math, writing, reading, and piano. On the weekend he said that we can just do the weekend work which is drawing, piano, reading, and writing. On Friday we can just do reading and writing. I think he probably chose that since reading and writing is weekend work and home homework and Friday is right before the weekend but it’s still a school day. I have a baseball game today at 11:00. I hope we win. So far only Sioux, Akash, and Willie can only hit home runs. But that is just so far. Maybe one day I will hit a home run. Our whole team is Adam, Sioux, Willie, Akash, Nathan, Blake, Lee, Dillan, Abel, William, and me. The last game we had we won 11 to 5. What! Yep, it’s true. At first the other team was winning but then we caught up by all of those home runs.

Today at St. Mark’s I had science and music and drama. In science we made a parachute. There were a lot of steps to the parachute. I did not get to finish because there were so many steps. My partner was Austin. Mr. Dillon switched partners. For math we did a math mystery my partners were Austin and Sioux. At the end Austin left. The math mystery was called Earth Day The Case of the Litterbug. In music and drama we did a rehearsal with just a little bit of the costumes again. It was the same just like last time except the bags were moved in the Science Lecture Hall because there was something going on in Mrs. Massey drama room. In PE we ran 1 lap, went in through the lions gate, and played Pinball for the freeday Friday game. We played Pinball two times. Both times both teams had 1 pin left at the end. On the second round, both teams had 1 pin left during the begining. I don’t think we got to finish the second round.

Today at St. Mark’s I had computer. So in social studies we watched a Cliburn in the Classroom show so Mrs. Brooms class didn’t get to do computer so we got to do whatever we wanted on the ipad. I did Prodigy. You’re only allowed to do Prodigy if Mrs. Whitaker says so. In the first language arts we went to Mrs. Brooms classroom and Hills dad told us what it is to be a pilot because I think he was and still is a pilot. For recess since it was raining, we did indoor recess. I did Chesskid on the ipad and did magne tiles with Benjamin. In PE we did not run. Instead we went to the new gym, jump roped, and played sharks and minos. In sharks and minos I did not die. We did not get to finish the game because there was not enough time so me and some other friends stayed. I think the round ends when there are three or less people left in the game. But when we ended it there were around 12 kids left. I do not remember.

Today at St. Mark’s I had art and music and drama. In art since I finished glazing all my fish and my dinosaur nests and all that stuff, I got to draw a dinosaur. My picture looked more like a cat but I tried my best to make a triceratops. In music and drama we practiced our rehearsal but instead we used costumes. not all of the costumes. Just the tails and the hats with no horns or stuff like that on it. Each song had a different hat except I think Dinosaur Rock. In PE we ran a mile and I beat my previous time. Last time my time was 11 something. This time my time was 9:23. I improved much better. I got two minutes every time I finished a lap. One lap in the mile it was three minutes for a lap. I am still working on contractions. I did another one of those things where you cut out the flaps and the rectangle and the rest to that kind of thing.

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish, art, and music and drama. In art we did something similar to painting we were glazing. We glazed our clay fish. In music and drama we practiced our rehearsal again and Mr. K told us that the rehearsal that we did today was the best so far. Then some boys from 1A and some boys from 1B got to sit on or near the chairs in the lobby. I was one of them. Mrs. G told us that on April 23rd we are going to be Ice Cream Embasitors. that means that we are going to introduce ourselves and maybe some of our friends to the new lower school boys and their family. I am probably going to do that to Brett. In PE Coach Phillips wasn’t here because he ran into a car crash. He is still okay. Coach Sullivan wasn’t here because he couldn’t help out. It was just Doc. We ran one lap went through the lion gate, did some jump roping in the gym, and played poison ball.

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish, library, and music and drama. In library I didn’t check out any books because I got a bookmark. I got a plain white bookmark and I chose a thing to put in the whole of the bookmark. Mrs. Montgomery helped me put it through and tie it. In music and drama I practiced my rehearsal in the Science Lecture Hall. There were a few changes. One change was that there were three risers and we stood on them in height. Another change was we did the speech at the end. When we did the speech, If the kids sitting in the audience can’t hear you talking then those kids will put their hand to their ear as if they were trying to hear better. If you heard well then you would give a thumbs up. We couldn’t talk. I hope you will have a wonderful great day. I hope you read a book at library one day.

Today at St. Mark’s I had art and music and drama. In art we made more dinosaur bones. Mrs. Davis taught us how to make a Raptor claw. So, first, you get a piece of clay roll it in your hands until it is long and skinny. Then, get some wiggle water onto your fingers and just smoothly rub it down the long and skinny piece. Then, you bend it just a little bit until it almost looks like a straw. Then, you’re done. In music and drama we practiced rehearsing in the Science Lecture Hall. Not dress rehearsal. We just practiced the songs and the speech. When we sang we stood on the risers and the people who were going to say the speech were going to be down in front of everybody else on the risers. When the speech was going everybody would sit on the risers. In PE Doc was back. We ran two laps for time. My time was 4: 14 or 4:15. Then we practiced jump roping in the new gym.
