Roving Reporter: Taylor L.

Hi, my name is Taylor L. and I am the Roving Reporter for Tuesday September 23rd. Each of us in Mrs. C.’s class is taking a turn at being a Rover Reporter for our class blog. The Roving Reporter’s duty is to take pictures and write about our day. Our class had lots to do today so I’ll get started.

We began our day by saying 1 Peter 1:15-16. We approached Mrs. C.’s desk one-by-one to say our verse. 1 Peter 1:15-16 states, “But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct; because it is written, “Be holy for I am holy.”

After we finished our quiz we went to chapel. Mr. Gibbs talked to us about Jonah. Jonah began his journey not being holy and tried to run away from God. He took a shortcut that caused him much grief. After being swallowed by a fish and living in its stomach for three days and three nights, the fish spit him out. He learned a valuable lesson. We are learning this same lesson this year at school. The lesson is to listen to God and obey His commands.

Upon returning to the classroom, we began our math lesson. Mrs. C. taught us about division remainders. This means that not every number divides equally into other numbers. Some have remainders, or “leftover” numbers. During our math lesson, we were interrupted by a Boosterthon member.

The Boosterthon Run is our fundraiser project for this year. Each student is able to run up to 35 laps in a race that is sponsored by our friends and family. We met our goal as a class by getting over $100 per lap sponsored (yeah!). The Boosterthon member came into our class to give us the prizes that we earned for reaching our goal. Some of us received “glow-in-the-dark” wristbands, wristwatches, booster beach balls, vortex footballs and the hall-of-fame pack.

After lunch, it was time for Mrs. Brown’s art class. We started a new project on hair. Each student received a blank piece of paper, and then drew different hairstyles. We drew straight hair, curly hair, wavy hair, braided hair, Mohawk cuts and Afro styles. Mrs. Brown’s class is lots of fun; she always has cool projects for us.

For the rest of the afternoon, we went to recess and studied spelling, science and history.

Our class had a lot of excitement today. We are enjoying our school year. There is so much happening in our class. I am thankful for the opportunity to tell you about a little of it.
