Gracelyn's+Hoover+Memories

This is my last year at Hoover Elememtry that makes me really glum, but looking back I have some really rockin' memories and this is just a few im gonna tell you about.

Now my first year at Hoover was kindergarten and I was gone most of the year because had Pneumonia and I got it on my birthday. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. What ill never forget though is that Mrs. Jhonson came up to the hospital and brought gifts from the class. I really enjoyed that esepecially since I thought the class had forgotten about me and didnt like me anymore. Those gifts made me think even though I'm gone they still like me.

Now in first grade one day I came into school with tags on my cloths but, I didn't notice them until story. So after story I went up to her in front of the class and told her I had tags in my pants. Then she pulled the tags out of my pants and of course the whole class started laughing at me. I thought I was gonna die. Since then I have learned to check my pants for tags every morning.

In 2nd grade we would get homework on Fridays then we would have to turn it in on Monday. So if we turned it in we would get to eat lunch with the teacher, Mrs. Rieck. It was Monday morning and I knew I had lost my homework I also knew I wouldnt be in trouble i just wouldnt eat lunch with the teacher. Ever since then though if I have had homework I have turned it in because thier might be a greater punishment.

My next memory is in third grade. So it was math time and I knew I wasn't done with my reading and we were gonna meet that day so that meant recess. Thank God that we had a work sheet but, I had to rush threw it to have time for my reading. Rushing cost me 3 problems I did finish my reading, now whenever I have a reading assignment I make sure I'm done on time.

In 4th grade we went on an awsome feild trip on the last day of school we went to Ghram Park. There were seven different stations so therre were seven groups. My first station was base soccer my team kicked first then it was finaly out field. Now the other team had a great kicker and it was his turn to kick. So we all got in our possesions then bam!! The highest ball I have ever seen. The ball was comin in my direction two people steped in front of me I pushed them away. Next I put my arms out and caught it. That was 3 outs. I would of never thought I could catch that ball, but since I put my mind to it I caught the ball. So I always remember put your mind to it you'll suceed.

Now fifth grade my last year at Hoover =( This year there was a new student and I thought she was strange. Then one day I started talking to her and she wasnt strange at all. I found out you should never judge people because from judging her I almost missed out on a great friendship.
