A Normal Day Reported by Marissa

Nov. 5th 2008
Today we had a normal day. We did Language, and we tried to watch a video of Barack Obama's acceptance speech, but the internet was not working. For lunch we had fried chicken or pork roast. Lunch was good, and we had watermelon. Mr. Exner is showing us how alcohol is made. It is a chemical change. You change sugar to alcohol which is called bioconversion. Today we had music and practiced our recorders. Again, a normal day.

Lauren's Oregon Trail diary

May 2, 1835
We've been traveling over a month, we started off at Independence, MO on March 25, 1835. We started on the Oregon trail as soon as winter broke. We have to make it to Oregon City before next winter. We're camping tonight at the base of Chimney Rock. To me it looks like a finger pointing up to heaven. Mama says, "Thank the heavens that we got this far." She really worried last week when the lightening storm came. We all got in the wagon and prayed. Eventually the rain stopped and all we lost was a little time, but we were able to keep on moving.

Happy Halloween

Today we had our Halloween Party. We really appreciate all the parents that helped out! We decorated our own cupcakes-so much fun and very yummy!

4H Demonstrations by Kailey

In Mrs. Evans' class, we are working on our 4H demonstrations. I am doing Yuck to Wow. Yuck to Wow is horse grooming. Some people are doing 4 square, baseball, horses, stained glass, and more. We have to perform in 2 weeks. We've been really busy for a few weeks. We have to take our posters home on Friday, so that we can practice in front of parents, stuffed animals, or anybody or anything. Then we will bring them back and do our demonstrations.
Also at the November meeting our new officers will run our 4-H meeting. The new officers are Kailey-President, Marissa-Vice President, Kendall-Secretary, and River-Reporter. There was an officer meeting on the 20th and 29th of October. They'll be nervous, but they will do really well.

Today we had indoor recess because of the bad weather (it was pouring down rain). there were two two square games going on int the room. There was also a group of kids playing with legos. Everybody was having fun until a few kids started yelling and that was the end of recess. After that, we took our math test. Finally we went to PE. We had our fitness test.

At the beginning of the day, we took the ITBS test and got finished with it!! After we were done with the tests, we went outside for recess. After recess, we worked on our 4H posters. Then we went to the cafeteria for lunch. After lunch we went outside for more recess. Then we went to Mr. Exner's class to finish our math test and play some math games. At the end of the day our class had PE in the classroom. We played ping pong. Some students were creative and made their own paddles out of books. Some other kids and I went to the AR party. At the party we had popcorn, drinks, and played football.

Today before the ITBS we did morning work. Then we took the science and social studies tests. We started watching a video, The House of Dies Drear, and then we went outside for a break. In Mr. Exner's class we played a math game. At the end of the day we have specials. Today's special was computer lab. Mrs. Evans talked to us about internet safety then we searched for pictures to go with our 4H demonstrations. Then we went home!
