School

The first week of school is over! I liked it. I had three teachers named Ms. D, Ms. N, and Ms H.  They are all really nice. On the first day I made two friends;  Chealsey and Zoe. Chealsey is in my class, and Zoe is in my switch class. Every day at 1:00, we switch classes. Our switch class is with Ms. N and Ms. H. Ms. N teaches us Mondays and Tuesdays, Ms. H teaches us Thursdays and Fridays, and on Wednesday they take turns. Ms. D is my main teacher. I like her. We have something in our class called a link chain (a paper chain) and every time we get a compliment she adds a link to it. Whenever we get to a certain level we get a treat. When we get to the bottom of the chain we get pizza! Every Friday we have a party, whoever gets an A in conduct gets to participate in it. Chealsey is really funny. She also lives really close to me. I have other friends named Dana, Katie, Ashley, Nia and Daydree. In switch class we are learning about poetry, and we are reading a book called Love That Dog. On Friday we had to write our on poem about what we depend on. Here is mine: 
 So much depends upon a soft pink cake,
scattered in blue flowers, 
sitting on the window edge
of my quiet house.
We had to describe it in detail so that people could use imagery and imagine it. I think I did a good job. In Ms. D's class we have to see how many multiplication tables we can do out of 100, in five minutes. I am okay at that. But it is hard. When we are done we check it then finish it. Sometimes I rush through it and get some of them wrong. I do the easy ones first then the hard ones. That way I have already done a lot. Every day in switch class we come into the room, put our backpacks around our chairs, get our writing journals out, look to the smart board to read the prompt, and see what we have to write about, then write it. Sometimes Ms. N and Ms. H give us examples by telling us about something that happened to them to help get us started. School goes by really fast. So far my favorite resource is Music. We haven't gone to the library yet. We usually have a resource at 10:55, then we have a 15 minute recess, and right after that we have lunch, then we switch classes. And the whole school day is six hours. But to me it feels like two. The only thing I think goes by really slow is switch class. I am always taking glances at the clock, waiting for school to be over. My favorite thing to do in switch class is read, and I also like to write. The book I am reading is really good. It is called; From The Mixed Up Files of Ms. Basil E. Frankwiler. I read the first page, and the second I was done reading it I already liked the book. Weird, right? I really like it when Ms. D teaches us Science. It's fun. And interesting. Also cool. Sometimes we do projects, and we need a partner to do it, and me and Chealsey are always partners. School is fun!
