Second Grade Day 3

Good stuff.  I got a lollipop for turning in all my assignment papers you filled out.

We didn't read any books.  I read Dog in Charge and I Can Read with My Eyes Shut and When I was Young in the Mountains. And I read some in my summer reading book and something else, I forgot what it was called.  And I read My Lucky Day and My Chicken Stew.  I love those books.

I got my second spirit stick for the keychain.

What bad happened today?
I didn't get to go to recess because too many people talked.  Today she graded some of our papers and me and Bailey were the only ones that followed directions but we didn't put a number sentence.  I circled the locker number that the answer was and I don't know what Bailey did.

I wrote a story about friends and I read a book on the computer.  It was called the Twin Club and it was about cousins and a lady was at the grocery store and she said, "Oh so cute, twins, and they laughed and one of them tried not to roll his eyes.  When they had to go back after the summer they were sad but then they became the greatest email twin club because they would email each other every day.

Tell me a joke:

Bettiecarol.

Knock knock.

Second Grade Day 2

Today was good.  I got a smiley face.

I got the blue dot special.  That means when she grades it, I get five extra points.

When Dainna was the teacher, she was really funny.  She was having her arms crossed with a smile on her face.  The teacher was telling her to tell Ms. Hillard what was the difference between long vowel and short vowel and she was like "Ummm," and that was funny.

I went to Art.  I made a puppy dog.  He had a triangle face and he is sitting on the floor and he has a squished pumpkin body and he has hanging down over ears.

Lunch was good.  I didn't like that cheese; it was too spicy.

We went to recess and I played puppy with Kaylee and people were attacking me and I didn't like it.  I was trying to go with Kaylee and we were going to get ice cream and people were trying to pull us apart.  Mia's favorite boy on One Direction is Niles and I promised to get her the real Niles if she set us free.

I didn't like when that boy said stupid to the teachers and wouldn't do what they told him to do.

Here's a joke:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Car
Car Who?
BettieCarol!

First Day of Second Grade

Today was Claire's first day of second grade and this is what she had to say about it:

What did you do today?
Today I did a self-portrait.  I went to P.E. I had a 3-minute test to see who wrote their numbers the fastest.  I got to 55. I wrote what addition means to me. I did math.
There was a lot of time activities for like example, I had a timed test on the Promethean board.  I ate my lunch and it was good.
One boy was bad and didn't listen.  We got two new students.  They are both boys, I think.  I know one of them is.
One girl got in trouble because she was talking to much to another boy.  One girl had to move because another boy was being bad.
What was funny today?
The book Dog in Charge.  The cats wouldn't listen to him in the beginning when he was left in charge.  All the cats ran away and then at the end the dog couldn't get them to follow his directions and he got the cat treats and he was barking and he was sniffing and his eyes were watering getting really big and he ate the whole bag of cat treats.  He was mad the family wouldn't put him in charge again.  At the end the cats got in trouble and made a big mess.  The dog got a stomachache and he took a nap and he woke up and his dream came true and he got back in charge again.
What was your favorite part of the day?
When Mrs. Hillard read us the book.
What's new with your friends?
All my friends in there I know.  Except the two new students that I barely don't even know.
What did you not like about today?
That boy that got in trouble.
What are you excited about for tomorrow?
That she'll be surprised that I brought my papers home and I can get a surprise if I bring them back.  If I ask for it, she won't give it to me.  So I won't ask for it so she'll give it to me.
Tell me a joke.
What's my teacher's favorite thing to do with a dog book?
Snuggle up with it!  Get it?  Like she's going to snuggle up with a dog but it's a dog book!

Glen Rose Dinosaur Tracks

 This weekend, Daddy took us to Glen Rose to see dinosaur tracks.  Here's some pictures.

When we got home, I wanted to show Mama what the park looked like, so here's a diagram of the different sets of tracks.  Daddy was real proud of it because he said I did it right.
