SPIRIT DAY AT NCA

BY: KARIGAN M.

10/14/2008

Today, Tuesday, October 14, 2008 was “twin day”. Twin day is the second day of the Homecoming activities planned for the week. All students were encouraged to dress as a twin or either dress up like a famous person. This morning we had chapel and Mr. Seger was our speaker. He talked about Jonah and how he did not obey God and because of his disobedience, he ended up in the belly of a big fish ! During chapel, Mrs. Gramms said, “ Wow, everyone really looks like twins”.

Afterwards, we came back from chapel and started our math work. We checked over our homework. Yesterday, Mrs. C. taught us about money and decimals. She also taught us how to always put a decimal in when you have money. But today, we are learning about place value and decimals. Next Mrs. C gave us some assignments that we needed to do for practice.

It was now time for English. We got our English books out. Mrs. C explained to us what dishonest tactics were. We then finished with English and started to work on Reading. In addition, we always say our vocabulary words each day. Then we opened our reading book and started to read paragraphs in order. Meanwhile, we finished our reading and we headed off to lunch. There we saw Mrs. C. with her twin, Mrs. Fernandez.




After lunch, we went to our special class which was Art. Mrs. Brown taught us how to draw trees with a piece of cardboard. It was a very neat project. Mrs. Brown always has the most creative projects for us to do ! She makes art fun !!! Finally, it was time for recess. This is where all the 5th graders get to come together. We were able to see all of the twins in other classes. My twins were Meagan I., Samantha M. and Kayla M.. Here is a picture of us.

After recess, we went back to the classroom. It was time for History and Science. That is the last thing of the day. Today was a neat day. Spirit week is so much fun and I look forward to the activities for the rest of the week. Spirit weeks ends Friday night with the Homecoming parade and football game. Let’s go Knights !!!

A Terrific Day at NCA... Roving Reporter by Michael B.

“A Terrific Day at NCA”
By Michael B.

On Thursday, it was a pretty good day at NCA. Let me tell you all about it.

On Thursday, the first thing that my class did was that we said the pledges to the American flag, to the Christian flag, and to the Bible. Afterwards we did a Bible Lesson in class. Soon after that, we did a Spelling worksheet where we had to unscramble words in addition to fitting words into sentences. We also did lessons in Math, English, and Reading.

Finally, after all that hard work we went to Lunch and it was good!!! We had tacos. After that, we went to P.E. Our teacher is Mr. Z. We played a game called speedball, which is sort of a mixture of soccer and football. Speedball is kind of hard to describe, but we had lots of fun playing the game. Mr. Z always makes P.E. super fun!




After P.E., we went to recess and played football.Soon it was time to go back to work. In class, we worked on lessons in Science and History.

Not long after that, it was time to pack up our book bags and go home. I had a pretty good day and I hope my classmates did also!
