Trubyville Roving Reporter-Gannon Gannon #2 February 23, 2010

We started our day off like any other one with morning work. The morning work was about adding and subtracting time. It wasn't that hard for me but a little difficult for others.

We have swim lessons in P.E from 8:30 to 9:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We got to the swim club and changed and then got into are groups. There are three groups; easy, intermediate, advanced. I am in the advanced class along with 10 other people. We did lots of I.Ms. To me they were really exhausting. Then we got out and got dressed back up and went back to class.

Then instead of have math in our normal classroom we went to Mrs.Granell's class to learn with her students. One of the lessons we learned about was ratios. I didn't get it at first but when I did get it it felt really easy. Then we did a couple more simple lessons on our white boards.

After math we started Town Time. It was a good yet bad day for my team made up of Thoren, Alec, and me. The good part about our day was we had finished building our fort and also we gained one soldier and survived a flood because we had just made a fort. The bad part about our day was we had to feed all three of our soldiers so now we don't have any food at all. Overall it was a pretty devastating day.

We have started our 5th novel titled: __Among The Hidden.__ It is set in 2020 when the government has dictated a law saying you can't have more than two children. So Luke the third child in his family has to stay hidden in his room which is the attic. For chapters 6-14 i am the connector. I have to connect activities that are happening in the book to things have happened in real life to me.

After that a majority of us went to band and 5 of us stayed for study hall. In study hall I finished all my D's. I got an A+ on DOG, an A+2 on DOM and an A on DOA. I was really happy. After Study hall we had lunch. I had three things but I only ate two things, my Hot Pocket and my orange that I had to open with a spoon because there were no knives. We had recess and I played five on five basketball.

At the end of recess since Ike had been out playing with us Mrs. Truby asked Riley and me to take Ike out to go potty. We tried to come back in through the gym door but it was locked so we went through the main door and when we through the gym I was goofing around and I shot my lunch box into the goal and it got stuck by the zipper. I went to go get a basketball to knock it down. Then Ethan came by and said,"Ya, that ain't coming down." After the fourth try, I finally got it down.

When Riley and I came back everyone was doing DOL. I missed one, but I guess that's still ok. Then we looked at Wiley's reporting of yesterday. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it an 8. After that we started vocabulary unit 6. We acted out each word so everyone got a visual of what the word was. Then we did three pages. I only got through two pages before Mrs. Truby asked Rachel and me to take Ike out to go potty again. We went out through the far right door and Rachel told me to put the doorstop in so we didn't get locked out. We came back to the door and the doorstop slipped. We went to the gym door and it was locked too. Thankfully the main door was unlocked. We came up and there was only five minutes til Spanish.

We went to Spanish and sat down at our desks. Ms. Becker played a song for us called; "Me Gustas Tu". Me gustas tu means I like you. Then we came up with our own songs about what we like. Except sadly our thirty minutes had passed. We headed back to our classroom and filled out our agenda, packed up and we went down to the gym for dismissal.
