Alice Fong Yu open house

Today I went to my brother's school. Today was an open house meaning you can explore the school. I went to his classroom and looked at his work. His school is part chinese so I felt weird. I only went for a few minuets but looked at a lot of things. When I first went in I saw reports by eighth graders who had a trip to China from March 19th to 25th/2010. When AFYSs reach eighth grade they will all go to China.

threeamarathon

Today three interesting things happened. I am going to tell you each of the things by time. First, I had my first STAR test and today I was tested on language arts. The whole STAR test process needs 6 days and each day we have to test 40 minuets. There are three language arts test and three math test. Any grade above 1st has to do it and under 1st you do not. Second, at school I blackmailed Brandon who is my classmate and he gave me chips to pay for it. I said I would tell Ms.Frye my teacher that he talked loudly in the hallway while testing. Blackmailing is finding out someones secret and threatens to tell. He talked loudly because he was really hyper like my brother. Third, I accidentally called someone else my mom because my dad thought it was mom and told me it was her. That is the end of my exciting day.

Scary!

Today I had a subsitute teacher and his name is Mr.B. I always like him because he tells scary stories which don't really give me nightmares. I am going to tell it to you in this blog.
Once upon a time an old lady was in the hospital ready to breath her last breath. A second later she was dead. Her neighbors dicided to give her a funeral. After they made a coffin they noticed something strange. Her eyes were still open. To solve the problem they took two silver dollars and put it on her eyes. They hired a grave digger to dig a grave and everyone left. The grave digger was gready he thought of the two silver dollars. He took the two silver dollars and brought it home. That night he heard a sound calling,"I want my money(repeatedly)." He hid the coins but that haunted him and the sound kept going. Finally he gave up went downstairs and found a skeleton staring at him. He was so frightened he threw the money and ran. After that he was never gready.

Chessmate!

Today I went to a chess tournament. In the first 2 rounds I drew 2 strong players. The first one's rating is 965 and the second is 977. I got a lot of rating because I am only a 604 so they sould have beat me but drew. I was very concentrated the first two rounds. The third one I lost because he was in a team so they had a coach. I am very proud.

walk-a-(mara)thon

Today is the walkathon and it was really exciting. In our class it was girls versus boys who walked the most and off course boys won 19 laps-12 laps. I calculated how many miles the boys ran and it was 4.8 miles. Every 6 laps you get a ticket to get a otter pop(ice-cream) so that means I got three. Also out of the subject I got hit with my lunch bag which contained my thermos container which is metal. Nikko thought I was looking so he threw it at me expecting me to catch it but it it my and jaw bone. It hurt and it hurts when you bite. It still hurts now and has a bruise. A good day combined with a bad day!

Biography Report!

Yesterday I got my biography report grade. The full point is 70% and I got 69% because I got three spelling mistakes which lowers one points. The cover's full point is 10p, the fact's full point is 20p, and the two paraghraphs's full is 40p. For my cover I got full point, for my facts I got 29p, and for my paraghraphs I got full point. My score is 99% and got an A.

Sewing!

Yesterday I helped my brother to sew his pants. His pants almost turned into shorts! I got a needle and string from grandma's drawer. I ate my dinner fast so I could help mend it. Grandma said to let her do it but I wanted to do it. I sowed in a zig zag pattern(like this/\/\/\/\) and going back the second time to do the places I missed. Grandma said I did a very good job sowing. I was impressed!

Four Square!

Today I played four square with my friends. It is my third favorite sport game. In this game you are only allowed to use your hands. The court looks like a giant square which is divide into 4 pieces. 4 people is allowed to play at a time and the rest have to wait in line. Each person gets a square and upper right is the server who serves the ball. The key is to hit the ball at someone and try to let the person miss the ball and let it bounce two times on their square. The ball can only bounce once on your square and after you have to hit it back. If you hold the ball in your hands or if you hit the ball on your square you are out. If you are out you have to go to the back of the line while someone else takes your spot!

Sports!

Today I went to the recreation center. Johnson, Charles, Victor, Andrew, Joshua, and I went together. I played ping pong and badminton there. I was bad a ping pong but good at badminton. I could not play basketball because all the hoops were taken up by adults and it was pretty dangerous because they could throw a ball and accidentally hit you. I played tag later on and it was a lot of fun with so many people!

Justin's!

Today I went to Justin's house to play. He invited me to his house like when I invited him to my house for my birthday. When I got to his house it was 11:45 nearly lunch and just before lunch 15 minuets before I played Wii until lunch. I ate two hot dogs with ketchup and muster with fried potatoes. I drank a bottle of cold milk when I was eating fried potatoes. I played Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros on the Wii. I played Lego afterwards till I went home. It was fun to be at people's homes and play.
