Yesterday was Dr. Suess Day in my school, its where we celebrate dr. suess by reading all day and also do other fun activities. We were allowed to bring snacks (healthy ones, though no one listened) we could also bring pillows and blankets and wear pjs if we wanted.
The beginning of the day, before lunch, was where the 6th grade did our stations. My class’s first station was in our class, and we watched a half hour of horton hears a who. It was funny! Everyone loved the little fluffy kid in it, called katie. She’s the one that says,”In my world, Unicorns eat rainbows and poop butterflys!” We all laughed at that one.
We played bingo in Miss Perkins room after that, and I got candy! The bingo was based on dr. suess books and movies.
After that, we went to an assembly, because we were going to count up the money that our school had saved up to “HELP HAITI!” I was surprised by how much some of the classes had saved up. Over all, our total was….. (drumroll here please)
2,875 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Or something around there. Isn’t that a lot?
We did more stations after the assembly, where we made hats from cat in the hat, and went on the suessville website.
After lunch was the readathon!!!! YA!!!! We set up our blankets and pillows, got our snacks out, and our books. Mrs. Huffaker told us the rules, (NO talking, as usual. We talked anyway.) A little into it, we realized that Tou (a kid in my class) had fallen asleep. He was laying under the desks, with his head peeking out and a book propped up so it looked like he was reading. Everyone kept looking at him and laughing! Every now and then he would wake up and switch books.
I finished the book that I was reading, called Alcatraz vs. the evil librarians. It was awesome! I laughed at something it said on almost every page. The author definetly had a sense of humor! The book was about a kid named alcatraz. On his 13th b-day, he gets a package in the mail from his parents. (he is an orphan) In it is a bag of sand. Soon, it is stolen and his “grandpa” appears and tells him that the evil librarians took it. He finds out that breaking things is his talent (all his life, everything he touched broke) just like his grandpas talent is being late. They have to sneak into the library, and steal it back! I won’t spoil it for you by telling you the end, but its a great book!
So anyways, I finished that book and had nothing to read, so I just secretly talked with my friends and ate snacks.
That whole day we did NO schoolwork whatsoever! It was so awesome.
After school I had play practice… but I don’t want to “wonder off topic” (as my teacher says it) so I’m not gonna talk about it.
And thats the end of this post!
