First day at Middle School

I woke up at about 6:30 then fell back asleep. My mom woke me up at 7:00. I got all ready for Middle School. When I was dropped off I went into the gym. Everyone was seated around and then each group was called to go to their classrooms. I opened my locker and put all my stuff in there. I didn't have any trouble opening my locker. It's just easy. I went to my homeroom, Mrs. Walker's classroom. I looked at the schedule up on the board and it said that lunch was after Science. (My mom thought it was after Social Studies). On my desk I found a sticker with my name on it. I had to wear it so that it would help my teachers remember my name. There was a bunch of paperwork to show to my Mom that she has to sign.

I have two binders. One for my classes before lunch and one for after lunch. I got my first binder from my locker and went over to Art class. In art, instead of doing Art, we were taken to do a music tour to see if anyone wanted to join Chorus, Orchestra or band because they needed more students. We sang a few songs in Chorus, then we went to Orchestra. Someone was asking about the violin so the teacher asked if they wanted to try it. Then everyone tried it. It was very fun. In band we saw people play some instruments. They were really good. Then we went back to our art class to collect our things.

My next class was Social Studies which was in my homeroom. We learned about all he school rules and Eagle Success Cards. If you do something good for the teacher they will give you signatures for you Eagle success Cards. If you fill up enough cards then you get to go to the party at the end of nine weeks.

Next I went to Earth Science. We got all our stuff in the classroom and then my teacher, Mr. Ingram, took us to lunch. I sat by my friend who was in my class in fourth grade. My mom left left a note for me that said, "I love you. I hope you are having a good day." ... and I was. After I ate all my yummy food we went back to our Earth Science classroom. That day we learned about the lab rules and procedures. He told us to study the notes for a test that was coming up next week.

Then I went out to my locker and got my after lunch binder and went to Adv. Language Arts. My teacher's name is Mrs. Bousch. She told us that everyday we'd start out doing our bright light. Our bright light is the work we have to do that she puts on the tv screen. After that we learned class rules and then we watched a video with pictures of people in her last year's classes. She asked us if we recognized anyone. She gave us an 'About Me' sheet to finish as homework.

After the long Lang. Arts I went down to Honor's Math. First he told us to do the work on the board. It was a hard problem. It took me a while to figure it out. Then we were told about a test on the computer we cold take to see what types of intelligence we have. That was our homework. The teacher, Mr. Dobbins, gave a few people the chance to take the test there. I took it at home.

Then we went back to our lockers and got all our stuff in our backpacks and waited in our homeroom class until our buses would be called. I noticed that I had forgotten my bus number. I thought it was the same bus number as last year but it wasn't. They ended up having to call me through the speaker... 'Ryan Johnson, come down to the bus area.' I got on my bus, sat with Emily and did my homework as we went home. (The girls get on their bus and it comes to my school to pick me up.)

At home I told Mom that it had been a wonderful day and I ate the cookies that mom had made. Then I did my math homework. My intelligences were Logical Intelligences (numbers) and Intrapersonal Intelligence. (self smart)

The Parthenon

At the Parthenon I took about5 Pictures and then I was bored while my Mom took 100 pictures. There was a pond by it. There were ducks and a fountain and I even found a dead fish in the water. I climbed up a awesome tree. The tree had a soccer ball stuck inside it. It was fun to see the sights.

Mamoth Caves

I had a fun time taking pictures in the cave. I took 203 pictures. It was amazing. They even turned off the lights once. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. I love the caves. Another fun thing was that I was spending time with the Waltons. Here are some pictures.

I got 3 pokemon Figurines, Star Wars lego, and Magnetix (which is marbles and things you can connect to them). It was Great. I Keep playing with them all the time. We sent them home with Goodie bags.

Matt Video

Matt is so cute. He loves smiling. He is the best baby ever.

A Big Lizard

This lizard lives under our barbecue. I decided to take some pictures of him but it was really hard to get a good picture. We see him almost every day out on the back patio. That was the best picture I could get of him.

My B-day

I am sorry I did not do this post earlier but I was having too much fun with my presents.

On my Birthday I had friends over. After that I had to clean the bonus room while mom got a surprise ready downstairs. It was a Golf Scavenger Hunt.

These were the holes. I went from hole to hole until I found my presents.

I started opening.

I got a Monopoly Wii game.

I got a new shirt

I got a new book.

I got some new bases to play base ball.

I got a new Camera. Woohoo! A Nikon Coolpix L20!

Then we had golf cupcakes. they had flags and tic-tacs as golf balls. The sand was made up of crushed Graham Crackers.

Me and my cupcake.

Next we went upstairs and played the Monopoly Wii Game.

Cub Camp

I went to cub camp last week. It was fun. We played frisbee, volleyball, and squirt guns. We tied knots, made birdhouses, and learned about trees and plants. I loved playing marbles (which I tied 1st place in), archery, and BB guns.

I will buy Monopoly here and now: the world edition next (if I don't get it for my birthday).

Today

It is raining like crazy today and mom and grandma are shopping. Grandpa played Monopoly with me. It seems that I am bad at 2 player games of monopoly. Grandpa, Me, and my sisters all played outside in the rain with our bathing suits. The rain stopped when we got outside. The water makes a river every time it rains. We played in there. We even made skim boards out of the lids of plastic containers. It was fun. We jumped on the trampoline. Then we had sandwiches. WHAT A FUN DAY!

Photoshop Fun

The girls say this this a lot so I thought to do this.

Pool

This was the first time this summer our family got to go to the pool. We swam all around. We played with our diving sticks from easter. The waterslides did not work. Luke loved it all. I liked to walk with luke in the shallow water. After some swimming the Starbucks got here. We played Monkey in the middle in the water. After a long time of swimming we went home. It had been a great day.
