Hello! Our day started when Mr.Kootman told the class about our new helper!! Her name is Miss Metcalfe, she is really nice and helps people really well. After Mr. Kootman introduced Miss Metcalfe to the class we told her our names and we told her our favorite thing about fourth grade. Most people said stuff about math. I said "I like going to the library the best." But that's just what I think.

OK! I'm back to Earth now so I can tell you the rest about the classes day!!!!!! After the class did our morning work we did some work in our math packet and we did prime and composite numbers ( lesson 16.3) and we had to write prime or composite for each number. And a prime number is a number that has two factors which is the number one and the number itself.

After all that work we went to recess and ate our snacks. Then we read our story in our Open Court Reading Book and it is named "The New Doctor",oh and guess what!! Its is 22 pages long!!! That's really long to read huh? It doesn't really matter because the class loves to read, well I guess most of the class!!

Then It was time for lunch and we weren't done with the story so when we got back from lunch we read the rest. Mr.Kootman didn't read it, we partner read out side, then Mr.Kootman told us to come back inside and read by ourselves! After the class was done with that, we read our new class chapter book named The Good Dog. At first it was kind of weird to me because the dog's master calls the dog a human pup.Then Mr.Kootman told us the book said human pup because the dogs master loves the dog so much that the dog is just like a human to him. After reading our chapter book, we went to the library and everyone got the book they were looking for except me. Oh well you don't have to worry about me!! It doesn't matter that I didn't get the book that I wanted, it matters that other people got the book that they wanted.

After library we did our last thing of the day, Social Studies!! For Social Studies we were learning about the Indians and there was questions like how they are different from us, like all the stuff that we have that makes life easier for us. I guess some stuff makes life easier for them too! If they didn't have anything for building things they would just have to sleep outside where it's freezing and cold outside!!! OK, thats what we did for Social Studies and then we all went home,I know, I know you don't whant me to leave but I gotta go home, do my home,get ready for bed,maby go on the computer for a little bitt then....OK you don't need to know what I do at hame you need to know what WE do in class!!!
