Today I played Tetherball for recess. In the middle of the game Colin hit me in the forehead with the ball. He did it by accident though. I always try to get out first when we go to recess so I can play on a Tetherpole. Nolan and Colin play with me. Sometimes there won’t be a Tetherpole open. That’s when we have to play something else. I can get the ball going really fast. So can Nolan and Colin. It’s always a blast playing Tetherball.

            Today I got to go on freetime in computer lab. I played Mario Tractor Game. It was a very fun game. My favorite part was when Mario’s tractor fell in a hole and almost fell. Suddenly the back of Mario’s trailer caught the side of the hole. So there, Mario was stuck and couldn’t get out until I restarted the game. On another part of the game there was a steep hill, so I sped up on Mario’s tractor and made a huge jump! Imagine seeing a farmer do that on a tractor. That would be interesting. Mario’s tractor game is very, very fun!

    I got to have Friday activity today! We watched a movie! The movie was about two people and a baby who get stranded in the Mountains. They got their pickup truck stuck in the snow. It’s based on a true story too! I think they should’ve left the chains on their tires. Nolan and Colin didn’t get to have Friday activity, but they were allowed to watch the movie.When the rescue team was rescuing the people they needed a loader to get up the Mountain. It was a good movie! I love Friday activity!

    D’Angelo’s birthday was today! Well, at least his birthday party was today. It was at the Manistee pool! There are two pools at that place! In the smaller pool Aric taught us how to do an underwater tea party. You have to sit at the bottom of the pool, and pretend you’re drinking tea. I thought it was really fun to do! Aric can do front flips and put a floaty thing under his feet when he jumped off the diving board! We had pizza and really good cake to eat! I gave D’Angelo a big Al’s gift crtificate for twenty dollars. I think I jumped off the diving board at least five times! It was a great party!

Today I went to a benefit dinner. It was for a kid who goes to our school and was injured in a car accident. His Dad says he is doing better, but he is still in the hospital. They served spaghetti and other food to help for donations. I had spagetti and a piece of bread. They also had dessert. I had a brownie. There was a silent auction there too! Me and my Dad didn’t bid on anything. It was a pretty good dinner!

    Today I got to decorate our Christmas tree. My favorite ornament is the old pickup truck ornament. I hung it towards the top of the tree. It’s funny because there’s a bow right on top of it. There is also some John Deere tractor ornaments. I have a Hotwheels ornament that’s like a little track and two cars. Some of the ornaments belonged to my great grandma. I have one that’s a picture of me that I made in third grade. My Mom has little bows and fake candy canes she hangs on the tree .I enjoy decorating for Christmas because it feels like Christmas is here!

    The whole class had gym today! We all played floor hockey. I thought it was really fun. I cracked up when the two teams were in a big group and finally we got the puck to the other side. I’m surprised nobody got hit in the face. Trent got hit in the hip. It’s a pretty crazy game. I was on the yellow team and then I was on the red team. I played defense and offence. It was a great game!

Today my dad and I put a light     in the chicken coop. The light is there to keep them warm. I told my dad not to burn the coop down. We have four chickens in there. My dad said not to worry I’ve don it before. We will turn the light off the light in the morning. Then we will turn it back on at night. I hope they will stay warm in the winter. My dad will have to get a new trouble light. hopefully the coop will not burn down.

Today I mist F.A.. I had to go to Miss. Eicanbergers class room to read. My friend Nolan was there to. I mist F.A. because I did not have my a.r. points. Nolan mist F.A. because he did not turn in a paper. Missing F.A. is pretty boring. I was reading Freddie The Fearless first grader. Nolan was reading Indianan Jones. I finished one of the two books. It was a boring hour and 45 minuets.

Today in Social Studies we did a portrayal of w hat it was like in the colonies for women. There was a husband and a wife, James was the husband, and Chloe was the wife. It was all so funny. James said to Chloe how’s you’re husband? The teacher had to remind him you are the husband. I’d have to say that was one of my funnier days I hope I have more days like that.

Today at recess, I played with my best friend Sylvia. We were  pretty much just sliding down the slide. Although we were thinking of creative were thinking of creative ways to do it. Mostly it seemed for me that I ended up at some point going down back words. It seemed like we were thinking of fun ways to do it though. My favorite way to go down would have to be when we were kind of curled up. Who would have thought you could have that much fun going down a slide!

Today we got to go to the salvation army! Some of the people who went were Sylvia, DeeAnn, Ashley, Kyle, Aric, Katie, Chloe, Carson, Gauge, James, Trent ,and D’angelo. I might have forgotten someone,and if I did I deeply apologise. It was a lot of fun! i got to stack boxes, and fill them. My record for stacking them was five at a time, my record for filling them was three at a time. It feels really good to help!


December 10
    Today I got to go to Claires in the Traverse city mall, and get my ears pierced. I was really scared at first, because mom said it’s really painful. Turns out though it doesn’t hurt at all ( until your’e ears start reacting to having metal in them. I really like my earings! So if you ever feel the need to get your’e ears pierced I recommend Claires.

    Today my family, and I went to my grandfathers house to stack wood, the wood was suppose to be for his birthday present, but the man who was suppose to bring it never did. So we had to go and get it, come back, and stack it all on his porch. There were three truck loads in all. we brought down the back hatch of the truck, then we formed a chain of people from the truck to his porch. I got in the back of the track, and handed the wood down to the next person. It was rather merry work considering it was hauling wood but it was actually kind of fun!

December 12
    Today at school I got to be a peace maker. So I got to eat my lunch with the younger students. I also got to recess with them,and the other peacemakers. They were Ben Katie, Kelsey,  and Chloe. Some of them can be really cute because they ask you for help, and they seem to kind of look up to you. It’s fun to be a peacemaker!

December 12
    Today I filled in for someone in class as a peacemaker. I got to go for the shift with Sylvia, DeeAnn, and Sarah. It was pretty fun after all I was out with some of my friends , on a rather nice day, watching younger students. Luckily there were no serious incidents so it was slightly peaceful. I emphasize slightly. All in all not to bad a day I rather like watching younger students.

    Today, Amanda, DeeAnn, Sara, Maggie and,I played animals.Then we got tired right after we chose our animals.So then we played tag. I didn’t think it was fair because everyone was on the jungle gym.  It was fun, until DeeAnn said the jungle gym was safe. So everyone stayed on the jungle gym and Amanda was it for almost the whole time. Amanda, Sara, and Maggie were it mostly during that recess. I was on safety when the whistle blew. I ran as fast as I could so I wouldn’t get tagged. That was the end of last recess.

    Today at recess Amanda and I played on the slide. We like to invent ways to go down the slide.  I can’t pick wich way is my favorite  to go down. We ussually go down the big swirly slide. Then the big slide got invaded by the third graders. So now we go down the small swirly slide. It works just as well.  I have now  chose my favorite way to go down the slide. Some one will hold your feet and then they let you go and your off! That was how we spent are last recess. Who new sliding could be so much fun!
