Take Your Dad to School Day

A couple of Fridays ago, it was Take Your Dad to School Day.  It was fun.  Daddy had to go to the cafeteria after the spelling test.  The dads had to take a spelling test.  Daddy got 100.  He also wrote a summary story about robbers breaking into Mrs. Baylor's room.  That's all.

A Summation

When I get home from school, I usually am tired and hungry.  Mama and I work on my homework and then I want to play.  I don't usually want to do my blog after all that.

Mama has realized that I speak more at dinner, so she takes notes then.

Here's a summary of some news from Mrs. Baylor's class in first grade at Bruce Shulkey Elementary:

• Mrs. Baylor is such a great teacher!
• Natalie lost a tooth today.
• Zac broke his arm and I was the first to sign his cast.
• It's more fun to do plusses with coins than counting in your head.
• The first few weeks of first grade are boring because I know everything!
• I love my class!
• We hardly do any worksheets!  We just talk all the time.
• I got in trouble for talking at lunch one day.
• Today we had to sit at the Pre-K table because another class was in our seats so we had to sit at the Pre K table!  It made me so mad!
• Yesterday the best part of my day was when I was out of school and I played with Baby Aurora.
• You let Paul press a button and not me!  It's not fair!
• One day when we played outside I played with Preston and I threw his shoe and I was playing with a stick.  I had to sit out part of my recess for that.
• We had a lockdown drill this week.  We go hide between the time out desk.  We did a big quiz counting and putting things in order.

Here's a joke.  Why did the kid use a book for a lunch tray?
Because the school didn't have any lunch trays.  That's not too funny.

Terrible Tuesday

Today was terrible.  I thought I was getting two quarters for change  but I didn't get any change.  I just stood there waiting for my change from my ice cream and guess what?  Nothing.

There was a lot of talking in line.  I was talking some but then I stopped.

I wish I had $10 because I want to buy all the baby princesses since I love Baby Aurora so much.

Mrs. Price wanted to play Puff the Magic Dragon for music but she couldn't because someone had stepped on the CD and broken it.

I was on yellow and that means good day.

I'm going to read Paul the book, "Skunks Do More Than Stink."

Here's a joke:  Why did the boy bring the baseball bat to school?  Because the teacher told him to hit the books.

Back to school after Labor Day

Today I learned what an hourglass is.

I learned about some math.  I decorated my math journal and I put plus signs and minus signs and shapes and a pattern.  I put my numbers to 10.  I did a 10-frame and a graph and a kitten.  No, not a kitten.

I also learned science.  I looked at a book of scientists.  Flowers are part of science and thinking.  You gotta think.  Look, Paul, you gotta think.

I went to P.E.  We played Cat and Rat.  That's a really funny game.  One group lines up on one side and the other group lines up on the other side.  You get an animal or any toy and when they line up the person that tags it is the cat and the other group is the rat.

I'm prepared and I'm here to learn.  I am respectable and responsible.

Today at recess I played and saw Ivan touch a dead water bug.  He said it was asleep but it was really dead.  I showed it to Paul after school and it hadn't moved so I think it's dead.  Ivan says it's alive.

At lunch, Lola stuck her tongue out at me. I saw what color it was.  She ate some fruit snacks that changed the color of her tongue.  The strongest color was blue.

I talked to Bailey and asked her about did her backpack come with her matching water bottle holder and she said yes.

Here's a joke:
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly.  Perhaps she'll die.  Would you, could you catch a cow next?  She ate the air.  So instead, she just went to sleep dreaming about her getting ated.  That's my joke.  Funny?

The Score for Day Four

Tomorrow I have a spelling test.  It's going to be EASY!!

I love Ramen Noodles!  Are they expensive?

I like Sugar Dot. 

I got a 100 on saying the words and the letters and the sounds. 

We took a math test and it was EASY!!

We went to PE.  We played that game that I told you about yesterday.

I don't have any new friends because I'm friends with everyone in the class.

Can we play for five minutes before bathtime?  I'm done with my blog.

Tales of Day 3 in first grade

Today I brought home a list of 250 words, but don't really make me read them to you because they are too easy!

I got a big sticker on my shirt because I did a good job on my "All About Me" poster.

I went to music today.  We played a game.  It was me, 1, 2, 3, 4, Claire at the kitchen door, 5,6,7,8 Claire at the garden gate.  They don't mean the garden.  It was in another part of the world.  Garden means the lawn.  Claire at the lawn door.

The true song is 1234 Mary at the Kitchen Door, 5678, Mary at the garden gate.

Julie, my American Girl Doll, got her raspberry glasses in the mail today.

Today Mrs. Alvarez had half of her class sitting out at recess.  I don't think she has many kids this year.

I wrote a note to Julie.

I was the line leader again.  I was on yellow.  That's a good day.  We were going to go to great job, but Mrs. Baylor never moved our pins.

We have 24 kids in our class now.  I was thinking 34, but we have 24.

We didn't read a single book except in our little unit books.  We're on unit 1.  I don't know why I am on Unit 1.  There are some very smart kids in the class, so why do we have unit 1?

I liked my ravioli.  I kept eating it and eating it.  The only thing I liked was sunflower seeds, bunnies, ravioli, and that's it.  Oh yeah, my yogurt.  (That's her entire lunch.)

I don't have any new friends except D.  I don't know how to say it. 

Day 2 Tales of a First Grader

I love Mrs. Baylor.  She is such a good teacher.

I did not like those corn dogs you made me for lunch.  Yuck!

I have spelling words.  They are:  "I, see, a, green, boy, up, the, in, out, go."

Did you know I will have a spelling test every Friday?

Here's a paper about how to pick me up from school.  You don't need it because you already know all that stuff.

Am I writing my numbers correctly?  Is my 3 right?  (Yes.)

Guess what?  I will be doing science.  I didn't even know I was old enough for that!

I was going to show you something but then I remembered today is the last day you get to walk me to my classroom.  It's my first day of school poster.  Darn it!

They really should have had meet the teacher and open house on the same night.

Wowwww!  I love strawberries!!

Now I'm going to write my spelling words three times each.

The only fun part of today was recess.  The funny part of recess was that instead of Lola being my mommy for me to be a puppy was that Alanii was or Bailey was.  The part I liked was that I got to be their baby.

The not fun part about today was that I didn't get to finish my All About Bruce Shulkey First Day of First Grade packet. 

I did go down one color because the girls started a conversation at recess and we finished the conversation in the hallway.  Yesterday I was at the front of the line but today Diego was.  It goes in alphabetical order. 

At PE today, this is what we did.  Say that you are a big giant circle and so a poly spot is right there.  If you are in khaki pants you go run to another spot, but if you run to the middle and touch a poly spot you are stuck there until you have something on that she calls out.  I don't know what the game is called.


Done.
