Today...

... I had to type and print a FINAL, color-coded, copy of my SCH speech. I (sort of) hate doing it. Today, I went on Everquest II to get a cat and a pretty blue flower. That is what the picture is. Also, today I took part in a mini-musical called A Kid's Life. I had a (mostly) great day!

Yesterday...

...I got homework. Yes, I know I get homework almost everyday, but today I got EXTRA homework. I have to type up a script for SCH. No one else in my group has to! Anyway, you may have noticed the Harry Potter quotes. One of the quotes was "Now Harry, you must know all about Muggles, tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?". That was said by Arthur Weasley (or is it Arthur Weasly). Anyway, today there was no math :).

Field Day + Civilization IV =FUN (or not)

Last Thursday, my school had Field Day. In the morning, I had a (short) chorus practice while the rest of 5th grade watched The Princess and the Frog. Then, I had lunch. I then helped decorate a poster for my class. I drew Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon (though I can't believe I forgot the wings). At last, we did the physical part of Field Day. I first did scooter tag. Then, I did Quidditch (!). Meanwhile, my friends were having an argument in British accents Next came Beach Ball Volleyball, pinguard, lost, and other games. I'm NOT going to talk about an accident similar to the Quidditch Accident. The day after, three of my brothers went on a camping trip without me. I spent the rest of the day playing Civilization IV with my mom until 9:00 pm. Anyway, the results for the poll are in with all of the above as the winner.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I can't believe it! Next week, Silly Bandz will be banned from my school! This is not fair! Out of all things, why did it have to be Silly Bandz to be banned? Some people who own Silly Bandz didn't do anything! I'm going to write a petition to ban the ban! This is only my third day owning Silly Bandz!

Silly Bandz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I got my first Silly Bandz! I got a pig, a basset hound, and a spider. At school, I traded my spider for a cat. Here's a picture. In P.E., I played Tom and Jerry. In Tom and Jerry, one person is Tom and one is Jerry. Jerry goes under the parachute, trying not to be caught by Tom, who is crawling on top of the parachute. Everyone else makes "waves" to hide Jerry. I was Tom today and caught Jerry!

My Field Trip

Sorry for not writing sooner. On Friday, I went on a field trip to plant trees. There was ticks there (but I'm sure I didn't bring any home). It was a nice day. The soil were we dug was perfect for tree planting. Unfortunately, two ticks took a ride with us back to school. The ticks are now dead. Anyway, the results of the recent poll are in. It was a tie between cats and llamas.

The Quidditch Accident

As you may have noticed, I did not say anything about yesterday's Quidditch match. When I was playing yesterday, someone on my team hit me in the face with a Quaffle! That definitely hurt. Of course, it was by accident. But still, not very fun. Anyway, tomorrow I'm going on a field trip! Also, tonight is the Enrichment Fair (where people will see Going Green).

MSAs are over!!

This morning I completed the second part of the Science MSA (Maryland State Assessment)! After we finished, we went outside for a little extra recess. We then had Physical Education and played Quidditch. The first time I played Quidditch was a couple years ago. I was the first Hufflepuff Seeker in my class and I caught the Snitch!

Today I was filmed acting out a play called Going Green for Green Team at school. I will try to put it on this blog. I had SCH (Simulated Congressional Hearing) practice also. We assigned roles for SCH.
