=TRUBYVILLE ROVING REPORTER - McKenzie #2 January 9, 2009= = = I'm very excited to be today's Trubyville roving reporter, because today is my 11th birthday! YIPPEE! Let's get back to the whole reason I'm here. SCHOOL!

So, when I first walked into the classroom, I started talking with Megan and Hannah. I also brought two adorable little monkeys I bought at Claire's for $7.50. One is pink and one is blue. Their names are Ying and Yang. Then, Mrs. Truby passed out our morning work. It was a math worksheet about inches. You had to add up all the sides. I thought it was very easy! But before I finished that worksheet, I ran to the Spanish teacher to give her my Spanish essay. I got back right in time for the announcements. Tyler, from Mr. D.'s class, was doing the announcement's and she said, "...and also Happy Birthday to McKenzie." I jumped out of my seat!

After that, we had to take the spelling and dictation test. I only missed one word...... PAYED! (PAID). Then, we learned about the Revolutionary War. We made a time line with a famous speech that says "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!" by Patrick Henry. Then, we watched a video about the Revolutionary War.

Now, my favorite part of the school day......COOKIE CAKE! The class sang Happy Birthday to me (Trubyville version). I was very happy! I asked Kasey to help me pass out the cookie cake. After we all ate cake, Hannah, Taylor and I passed out cookie cake to some of my favorite teachers. Then I ran out to recess to pass out cake to Mr.D and my good friend Greer. She ran as fast as she could to get a bite of my delicious cookie cake. After that I ran over to talk to Taylor. But before I knew it, it was time to go to P.E.

I ran to P.E. so I could get there early. We started our 2nd week in basketball. As you all may know I STINK IN SPORTS! So it wasn't very pretty! First, we did a dribbling race. Second, we played knockout. I lost every time. : ( Then, we went to computer, and it was hot! BLAZING! Her cooler went out. I ran to my seat and plugged in my flash drive. Then I went on to typing pal.com, a typing website. I really don't like it!!!!

After computer, we started grading our papers. We usually grade papers once a week, but this week we didn't have many coupons, so we graded a couple of papers to get coupons. After that, we started our unit in pentominoes. We all had to get 5 squares for math. Mrs. Truby passed out a a worksheet. We had to make 12 pentominoes, let me tell you it's much harder than you would think!

Now time for my yummy lunch! For lunch I had a cheese and turkey sandwich with an orange Capri Sun. That's what I call good!

After that, we had recess. I always talk with some of my good friends, Cathy, Winnie etc. As soon as recess is over, we either go to band or study hall. I go to study hall. I worked on my pentominoes worksheet. When everybody gets back from band we usually do D.O.L., but since we finished it yesterday, we worked on math instead. I still wasn't done!

Then, it was time for Spanish. We learned about clothes and temperatures. We had to write 3 sentences. The first 2 were what we were wearing. The last sentence we had to write about was what someone else was wearing. I chose Erin. She was wearing a red Abercrombie t-shirt and jeans.

When we got back from Spanish, Mrs.Truby told us to get our papers. We separate our papers into A and A plus. I got 8 coupons. I packed up after I finished my Friday folder. Then, we watched some Slide Rocket presentations. After we finished watching all the slide rockets, we went outside. I ran to a blue table to see my friend Winnie. She was knitting a scarf, and she was very good at knitting. Then, I ran over to the tire swing for a little bit. After that, it was time to go inside to go home.
