my daily day at school
it was morning and i just got off my bus,bus 16,and i was heading to the cafeteria.i ordered a sunrise sandwich because they remind me of sausage mcmuffins.after breakfast,i came into class and as always,david p. kicks my chair.for today,there was a lot,but not much stuff.first,there was "math-a-mania monday!".during math-a-mania,mr.grothem said we were running out of jokes,but luckily we finished all the questions before we finished the jokes.but sadly,mr.grothem said we had to finish all the jokes "until sahil laughs".but these weren't jokes. they were facts...animal facts.we thought math-a-mania was over but guess what...it wasn't over...it was just half of it or...i don't know maybe there was more.anyways,since we ran out of jokes,we used a poop book(not joking)and found out some disgusting facts!anyways,after math,we went to lunch.i ordered chicken nuggets.after i ate i went up to class to do my missing work.recess ended,but that didn't mean i couldn't finish.after i finished,handed it to mr.grothem and continued on math-a-mania.after we finished our last question,we went to the field to play softball/baseball.after p.e. i got my backpack and left straight to home sweet home.... : )

My Day at School

By:Patricia

Today I woke up and got ready for school.Also today was April,26,2011,It was a nice warm weather with little wind.As I walked to our line,few of my friends greeted me.When i went there,I was relieved that i was not late.The morning school bell rang,Mr.Grothem came to pick us up and now an another regular day at school begins when i entered the classroom.

I went to my desk,put my backpack on my chair,took out my journal and my books,and wrote on our journal.That was my usual routine in the morning before we did our lessons,but today we had to do part one on our math test.Before we did that,Jovan asked some questions about volume and it took awhile to answer it.Now the state test math part one begins.Mr.Grothem told us the instructions and gave us our test.I began my test.I was worried at first because Mr.Grothem said 6th grade math is hard,but once i looked at the questions,i though that I might able to get a good score again.I felt confident and then I was finished with part 1.

Everybody was finished with part one on the math state test,and now we were able to get our recess break.First I played handball with few of my friends,but the most of the boys played and said it was an "all in game".In the end,I didn't really played that much at recess.

After recess,we went to the classroom and I did my job watering Mr.Grothem's little plant.After that,the class was playing a game in quizlet.Mr.Grothem clicks on the button to make it say the definition,and the class will shout out the term of the definition after he says "one,two,three".I didn't won the game because I didn't keep track of my points.

Suddenly,it was 12:40 p.m. already!It was time for lunch.Me and Kassandra went down stairs together to eat our lunch.We sat down together and ate,but Kassandra didn't eat.Jeannell and Shayne sat down beside me too.After I finished my lunch,Jeannell gave me a piece of her McDonald's hamburger,and eventually i ate it.After the 6th grade students are released to lunch recess,I went to the line where me and Kassandra waited.We chatted while we waited for M.Grothem to pick us up to go upstairs.When I was in the classroom during lunch ,all of us that went upstairs including me,helped Mr.Grothem with extra stuff.

Now lunch recess ended and it's time to silent read.I read my Percy Jackson Book,The Lightning Thief.I manage to be half way of the book.I was half way because it's a very long book,but it's very interesting to read.Later on,the class and I did some math practice problems.I manage to get 82% even though the time limit was very fast.After we finished we played baseball with a tennis racket and a tennis ball.We had fun and the eighty percent or higher team won!

     The dismissal bell rang and I went home.That was my day at school.

Berenice's Essay

Today we did math madness all day! We did 43 problems,but it will pay off when we take our California Standard Test.Which is actually coming up this following week.Thank you Mr.Grothem for preparing us for this HUGE test.When it was 11:20 we took a break to go out to recess.Before recess Mr.Grothem tortured many of us by playing a song called Friday.WHY?  Then when we came back into class we took a look over Topic 20 math test.As soon as we finished we had to get to the kids getting in trouble.There weren't that many so that was a good thing.We once again got to Math madness,and heard some really horrible jokes.Finally we went out for PE.David and Danny ran at least three times while playing tennis baseball.Thank-you Mr.Grothem for taking us out to play.

How was my day ?

By:Zenia Rana           

           Today was a pretty normal day we had a few tests we learned some then we went home.My favorite part of today was when Mr.Grothem called the math nerds kids over to the back table for lunch recess ,my second favorite part was math it was very easy because we had all learned that lesson for math,last but not least I liked picking up my sister because my sister and I fight all the time in the car and today we did not fight.Now that's what I call a good day.

         So I told you my favorite part was when Mr.Grothem called the nerd kids over and told that if we ever got our name on the top lists of the pen than he would play our sound my sound is !WHAT! and the only reason I picked it was because like two seconds before I said what when Mr.Grothem told us that some of us would not get a voice.I liked Sahil's the best I wanted that one because it was spongebob's voice ,the second best was Clayton's his was funny.

          So also told you that my second favorite was math.Math was very easy and funny because there were kids who were picking out of the answers like if you you could not go above 40 they would pick 40.On the quiz I got 67% not that good I know but I thought it was very easy even though I got one wrong a lot of then we had our math test and I liked my grade I got a 83%
it was funny because I had high hopes for this test because we only have one test left after this.

             In a nutshell,I think today was a good day after all I mean we had a little bit of this and a little bit of that and we all had a good day after all.
