This morning, our class started the daily routines as usual, practicing the warm up our teacher, Mr. McMurray gave us. After we were done, we had a choice of reading a book or doing the challenging maze, which had the shape of Russia. The country Russia was very hard to go through on the maze, leading to many dead ends. My classmate, Joshua, thought the mazes were too difficult and intricate.
After that, Mr. McMurray assigned a group of kids to the library. The rest of the students stayed back and learned fractions with him. Later, the few kids who stayed back were ready to leave.
As the second group headed to the library, the first group came back. The group heard a story from our school librarian and when she finished, we could choose our books.
The rule for book-picking is two books per week. I decided to enter one book on hold and pick out two other books. One was about robots while the other one was about the internet. I sat on the cold bench and waited for the rest of the group to finish their selections.
A while later, my group went back to class where Mr. McMurray taught us more about fractions. He paired us up into groups of two and told us to do page 212 in the math workbook. That page in the book was all about fractions with different denominators. Thirty minutes or so, we stopped our work and headed to recess where I played tag with my friends.
The recess ended with me feeling really tired. When we got back, our teacher explained to us our biography essay on our explorers from the 1500s to 1600s. He said we needed to find research for homework.
Mr. McMurray groups us up again and told us to read the book Leonardo's Horse to each other. The story was about how Leonardo da Vinci made a model clay horse. He was very excited about it. All this happiness ended when people destroyed his creation.
In 1977, a man named Charlie Dent was very interested in this particular artistry. He decided he wanted to make Leonardo's dream come true, so he tried to make the horse. Over the years, Charles collected information about Leonardo's horse. Sadly, on Christmas morning, 1994, Charles died.
Soon, the kids started to finish the story and returned to their seats. Mr. McMurray assigned us our homework, we packed up, and went home.
