Hey, just dropping in to say hi. Nice journal! Have a good weekend!
Today I went to school and first thing I looked on my desk, and saw a magazine about jaguars, how people can help save them cuz they don't have enough space to roam. Then we had reading. We are reading a story called Centerfield. It's about baseball. The stories remind me of being in Little League. When Jose hit a home run in the story, it reminded me of Little League when I was one foot away from hitting a homerun. It also reminded me of when I catch balls and when I get people out. And when I looked in my desk in the middle of the day, I saw multiplication problems and abbreviations stuff. Well I can't remember anything else that day so I will skip on to the stuff I know.
So I will just tell you about what I know. Or what I remember. Then I started doing some work that I got from reading. And when I was in reading, me and my friend Dave went in the closet and read and I said I am bringing one of my worksheets for homework, so I can get it done while you're reading. Then we started reading and I said ,"YOU WANNA READ FIRST? Or you want me to read first? It doesn't matter to me." He said "No, I'll read first." Then while he was reading the first page I started doing some of my work. Then it was my turn to read. And he was kind of reading along and he was kinda looking out in outer space. Then it was his turn. And I did my work while he read. So and so me and him started reading and then when it was his turn to read, cuz he had a big, big page, I was laughing.
Then I was like, "You said you wanted to read first" cuz it mattered who read first. Then he flipped the page and he said , " you got a big page too"
and I was like "crap"
and I said in my head, "at least its not a page as big as yours!"
Then reading was over and me and David were still reading. I looked outside because I heard trotting coming into the room. And I told David, "It's already regular class!" and he was like "Man, how long have we been reading???" I sat back down. Did some math. And then I was stuck on these math problems we had to do. And then she's like "ten minutes until gym" and then I was like "crap"
because it was almost gym time and I wasn't done with my subtraction. Then I asked my neighbor Meka if she could help me cuz she was already done, but most of the time its me being done before her. She helped me to get it done faster. Then I got it done, gave it to Mrs. N, and she said, "Good job" and then right after gym started.
In gym we played sideline basketball. Me and my friend Darien that knows Zachary, which Zachary had Darien as a reading buddy, we got teamed up and we like faced each other kinda. We were just partners. But on different teams, like Darien went on the left and I went on the right side of the gym. Then when it was our turn, it was me, and Darien, and I can't remember who else was my teamate. When me and Darien were playing, this kid blocked me and I tried to shoot, I was close, but I missed, cuz he blocked me and they were all like 10, 9, 8, 7 , 6...shouting because the time was running out, and I was trying so hard to make a shot and I was like RIGHT HERE and then he passed it to me, he was like PASS IT BACK and I was like OK. I remember my teammate, it was Chris, then time ran out and we had to go back. The last few times Mr. C called us, and there were three people out on the court from different teams, instead of just two. Once Mr. C called out our names Trey, Lawan, and I went out, I got the ball and they were like PASS IT. And I was like OK and I passed it to Lawan and I thought in my head IF I HAD JUST SHOT IT MYSELF I PROBABLY COULD HAVE MADE IT FROM HALF-COURT because I've done it before. Lawan didn't make the shot, actually the other team won. That was my second try. The other time it was Chris, Trey and me. The other team got the ball before me and then I was like running for the ball, I tried to slap it out but I just couldn't hit and then Darien ran with the ball in his hand. I ran, tried to smack it out of his hand but I couldn't. And I like kinda slid on my shoes. Then I ran back to get it. Then Trey got it, he shot and swooshed it and made it. This other time when it wasn't me, this kid on our team, they shot on one, they made it when time was running out as the time went to only 1. He shot, swooshed it and MADE it - it was SO COOL.
I just ate a popsicle stick and now I think I'm about to lose my voice. And my aunt Daniela told me that when I was a baby I used to talk perfect sentences. Bye.
