I have not posted in quite a while, but today i am going to post. Since I am in fifth grade now and 10 years old, I have made some more friends. One is a girl named Natalie. She is almost eleven years old and she is like a foot taller than me. She is in my homeroom class so we get to see each and every day. Here are some more things about Natalie.
Natalie is the daughter of an art teacher at a feeder school that feeds into my school. My sister has her when she goes to art class. Natalie and I haven’t known each other the whole year so far. I met her probably a week or so after school started. We met because we sat together in 4th period, and we go to music together, and we are both car rider so we sit together waiting for our parents together.
I have another friend named Myranda. She is also taller than me but shorter than Natalie. What’s weird is that she is older than me and Natalie. I think she is eleven. We are all really, very good friends!!!!
Sorry this was not that long, but at least I typed.

Today I played a game at school. It was a math game, but it was fun. Since we had class numbers, we just split up between odd and even numbers. I am number nineteen so I was on the odd team. Get it? ODD team. Here is what you do.
First, Mrs.Gibson called up a number from each team. The she told us a definition of a math word. There was a board with words on it. And the people took a fly swatter to whack the right answer. In the game my team won like seven to six. Here is an example of a question. She would say something like an angle bigger then a right angle. So I would swat the obtuse angle card. Then my team would get a point. It was a fun game.
Even though this post was short, I hope I inspired this game to you. Leave your comments.

School is cool and I know a thing in math that I like. It is when you have a grid. You use coordinates to make a picture. Like if your coordinate is 9, 3 you would go over nine and up 3. I it was -3, -4 you would go over 3 on the left side in quadrant 3 and down 4 in quadrant 3. If you have know clue what I am talking about, here is more information.
Ok. There is a grid with four quadrants. And a line going side to side and top to bottom. The one that is going side ways is labeled x. The one going up is labeled y. And the side ways line has two sides and the one on the left side is negative or minus. The one going up has two sides and the one going down is negative. And the line up and the line right are positive. And you always go over then up or down. And the top right one is quadrant one witch is positive, positive. The top left is quadrant 2 and it is negative, positive. The bottom right is quadrant three and is positive, negative. And the bottom left is quadrant 4 and is negative, negative. So if I had a problem that was -7, 8 I would go left to the number -7 in quadrant two and up 8 in quadrant 2.
I think this is fun because you can make pictures. I recently did on which was a cute dog! Please your comments! 
Do you have or have you had a good math and science teacher? Well I do. Her name is Mrs.Gibson. She is a cool math teacher for many reasons. First, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we do something called math 24. You have to use math to equal 24 with the numbers given. It is kind of fun.
Second, on Fridays, Mr. Ed comes to her class. He is the adopted grandfather for our school. He tries to trick us with riddles and things like that. Then we play 20 questions. He has an event, person, place, or thing and we have 20 questions to guess it. But at first you cannot be specific ( unless you are positive of what it is ). Then he reads to us.
Third, also on Fridays we read the Time For Kids magazine. After we read it we start on the work sheet. If you do not Read the rest of this entry »
