The Weekend At Last!

Walking home from school on Friday

It is finally Friday and that means that I made it through my first week of school. Today, school-wise, it was the best day of the week. I was really nervous about going to school today but it turned out to be pretty great.

Here is how the day went:

Both my Mom and Dad were able to walk me to school because my Dad's crew call wasn't until 10:30 am.

When I got into my class we did math first followed by PE and Spanish. Yesterday Spanish class wasn't so good as everyone was speaking fluently and I didn't understand a single word that they were saying. I got a little bit upset and then the teacher came over and told me it was going to be okay and that she would move me to a different class where they speak some English as well as Spanish. Today in my new Spanish class we learned the words for the days of the week and months of the year. We also learned how to say hello...Hola!

After spanish class, we did a bit more math and then it was lunch. Lunch was better today because the lunch monitors didn't yell that much.

In the afternoon we did some reading. I read "Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School", a novel by Louis Sacher. The book is about a girl who goes to a new school and they have add and subtract LETTERS! It is really a good book.

After reading we were bombarded with quizzes. We had a science quiz and a math quiz.

We looked at the clock at it was time to go to music which is in a classroom in another part of the school with a new teacher that I hadn't met yet. I was pretty nervous because everyone said that the music teacher was very mean and strict. But then I found out for myself that actually he was strict but also really friendly and so nice. He told us "If you treat me with respect, I will treat you with respect". I think that he is the best teacher in the whole school.

Next thing you know he dismissed us to go home. My Mom was there to meet me and the weekend began.

I will post more of my adventures over the weekend.
