2nd Grade

This was my first year at Hoover and I thought it was going to be hard because I had moved a lot before this. Those moving times weren't to easy. I've lived in Kansas City for five years, Kentucky for two so I was like uhg I have to start all over again. But, I was right well for the first week then I became friends with Kaden and then Cobi.

My teacher was Mrs. Rieck. Big Hawkeye fan there was Hawkeye everything mugs, stuffed animals, and pictures. Every day was the same Pledge of Alegence, warning about don't get a red card. Because we had these cards green for doing nothing wrong, yellow for warning and red for two bad things and then you get sent home with a note and you had to get it signed that night or your in for recess. I pretty much always got a yellow card.

Then you have the regular ol' learning, lunch, and recess. then more learning the P.E. or Music. That's all that happened that year just trying to get used to my new school. And make a few new friends.

3rd Grade

That year I had the one of the best teachers in the school. Mrs. Rallis. This year I still had my two best friends. Then I made two more Joel and Nick. Mrs. Rallis is a big Cyclone fan, but not as big of a fan as Mrs. Rieck is for the Hawkeyes.

The reason Mrs.Rallis was so awesome was because she never got mad. If you did somthing bad she would just say please don't do that and it would be just fine. 3rd grade was super good too because I had four friends in my class which at that time it seemed like a lot. P.E. was more fun too because more people could acually play the games and he added a few more games that were more fun.

4th Grade

This summer I was wanting Mr.Thompson and I ended up getting him. I was super excited he was a good teacher. But there were a few kids who got a little mouthy which got really annoying. He was really cool and nice, but we always had to do notes. It helped my social studies knoledge though. The really fun part was every wednsday was math day. The games were fun too.

That year I also made the ALBA basketball team. (Abraham Lincoln Basketball Assocation) I was freaking out because it was hard because I wasn't as good as a lot of other players.

One day at lunch we were having tacos. It had all that so called "hot sauce" on it. Then I lifted it up took a bite and the whole thing broke. It spilled all over my white shorts. Big red splotches every where. To make it worse when I got up I hit my tray and my milk splilled all over me. Then you know how the nurse has a few clothes. Well I went into the nurses office and asked if she had any clothes and she gave me a pair of shorts and they were fives. And in my head I was thinking "really, come on". Then I put them on and they were like the size of those way too tiny shorts for girls. It also felt like I was losing circulation on my waist. So I put on my nasty shorts. Come back out and say they're too small. So the rest of the day I was in my gross shorts. And when I got home I immediatly put on some clean shorts.

5th Grade

This year I wanted Mrs. Preston and by luck again I got her. I'm glad I got her because I hear the other teachers are kind of a bore. Plus Mrs. Nelsons coffee room is a little too much for my nose. This year I also got Mrs. Bastian and Mrs. Getty.

Mrs. Bastian is super nice. One time I got a 22% on my math test. Usally she averages out your next score because she lets you redo your test once she grades it. But this time she gave me full credit and I ended up with an A. So that was a relief. And she let us do two projects this year. The first one we had to do a famous mathmatician. Somehow I luckily got Albert Einstien. On that one we had to do a PowerPoint. Then on the second one we got to chose a career that involves math. I did Sports Medicine Training. And how I did it was I did Jeporady.

With Mrs. Getty we did all kinds of things first off we did TFK, (Time for Kids) ATW, (Around the world) FPS, (Future Problm Solving) regular tests, and when we read out of the book we did Competition. Somtimes individual then you add up how many people got it right eaach person stands for one point, somtimes team that's where you all come up with one awnser.

Then back to Mrs. Preston her husband and dad own Christy Creme which was awesome because once I got a free small cone there and their ice cream is really good. We aslo did sparkle.
