Jovan's Day
What Happened Today-3/23/11
Today was pretty awesome. I got 5 out of 6 on my Reading test, 100% on Vocabulary, and rockin' things happened at recess. Firstly, it was pretty normal at recess, just you're average David Pham, Isiah, and David L. jacking the ball. Finally, we put of a fight to keep them on the field. When they had broken our defences, we managed to surround them and finally drive them so far, they had to chuck the ball off the side of the tall slide. Zenia managed to snatch the ball, and it went downhill from there. We had to charge, and almost tackle her to receive the ball again. David C, Jarrod, Sahil, Tyler, and some others were helping too. See, the 5 of us usually hang out during recess, so we all know why they jack the ball, and we all know how to get it back. By force. Zenia finally managed to chuck the ball to Joy Cai, in anyway resulting to her telling the teacher it was HER ball, and that WE we're lying. That wasn't the case. When she finally stopped noobing around the teacher, she tossed it back to Zenia, and we finally ambushed it out of her. It was pretty insane. Yeah, after recess, and lunch, it was just normal. Mr. Grothem nagged a few kids, and I got 1 out of 2 on my quiz. It sucked, yeah. But, it's not that I don't understand it, it's just quizzes pressure me, and sometimes I can't finish the problem, before he's done. It's not like we have his brain power. And yes, in our defence against your attack, "Well you guys are nerds, you're smart, you should out-wit him." That's not the case. He;s had three years to practice, of course he's gonna know. So yeah, when he does the work, and finishes, he usually gives us approx. 5-10 seconds before shutting down the question. Finally, when school ended, I walked home to my sister's friend's house, and I played with their fluffy small dog. That's the conclusion to my day.
David C.'s Day
Today was mostly math and kids getting in trouble. Also, I had to go to band and back to class and then back to band again. It wasn't really a good day for the whole class even though there was no rainy day schedule, which was one bright thing today.
After PLC, Mr. Grothem told us to work while he got some kids in trouble. A lot of people got a strike from that. Then, the kids who were working on their video worked on it while we were correcting our PB pages. Then we took our vocabulary test and the video kids didn't get to take it, but we still got a good grade. After that, we had recess. Then, after recess was over, we came in and people started talking so Mr. Grothem told us to bring up the people who were talking, but nobody did, so he gave EVERYONE in the class a strike towards Seaworld and such. He then told us to write a persuasive statement that would convince him that we either should or shouldn't get a strike. Then, we finally got into math.
For math, we learned how to make stem and leaf plots in 19-4. A stem and leaf plot is like a graph with a tens place and a ones place except all the ones places are placed right next to each other depending on what tens place it is. For example, if you have 12,14,15,23,24, and 25, then in the plot you would have 1/ 2,4,5 and 2/ 3,4,5,with one on top.Then, for 18-4, we learned how to make a graph. One special graph we learned about today was a scattergram. A scattergram is when you have a graph with points that don't connect or do anything and are just scattered. You could make one when you are using height and age, for instance. All the points would be different and scattered unless one of them was the exact same as another one. We also took our practice test for topic 18, and as a class I think we got an 84%. I got a hundred. It was only seven questions, though, so it was harder to get an A because if you missed one already you would have a B.
Then I went to band, but before I did I noticed that the people who already went to band forgot their homework so I had to go back to the classroom, open the door, get the homework, give Mr. Grothem his keys back, and finally go to band so I could give them their homework and so I could practice. Then I went home with my super heavy backpack and the school day was over.

Sahil's Day
What Happened Today
Today was a pretty normal day, for everybody else. For me it was a terrible day. I was coughing, cold, and had to walk home! Without that it was an ok day. Everything went well. (Except tons of kids got in trouble) For math we learned easy stuff, and language arts was easy too. It also rained which was terrible, (in my opinion) mostly because we get no recess. So to sum up that day, it was pretty normal, but not for me.
