Dear Diary

Today we went to the Ihop for breakfast. I ate pancakes with syrup. I ate one pancake only. When we finished, I took the paper that I got from Ihop. I colored my paper in the car. When we got home, I changed to my green dress in my room. Then we went to Costco to buy chicken. After we paid, we gave the mane the receipt from the store. I got a happy face from the man at the exit. Then we went to Bloom. Dad got shrimps and onions to cook his chicken. But the chicken did not turn out good, so mom is going to bake the shrimps separately. Then mom and I went to the piano practice at Alex's house. I played Ode to Joy, the second parts. We also played the G manger scale and the last parts of it. I also played Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star with both hands. When we finished, we went upstairs to play. We played ball in Alex's room and in the attic. When my mom picked me up, I went to the bathroom for a timeout because I locked the door and didn't open it when Aunt and mom asked me to. In the car it was hot Outside was hot too. When I got home, I changed to another dress and wrote in my diary. I wrote about today.

While I was writing, mom brought all the socks that I left downstairs and told me to ware them tomorrow.

Today

It was raining in the morning. It is a half day at school. When my dad dropped me off, I lined up.
When the bell rang, I went to the media center to line up. I lined up with my class. When another bell rang, we went to our classroom. I unpacked my backpack. Then I did my morning work. My morning work was to finish my unfinished work from yesterday. Then we went on the red carpet. My teacher read us a book. The book was about Cinderella. I read at my house before. When we finished, we went to lunch. Table three had to go to the classroom to eat lunch because we won the most table points for the lunch bunch. I am at table three. We ate with our teacher in the classroom. I ate pizza at school today. I talked about Kathy. Jeremy thought that the rest of the class were absent because they were at the lunch room. I was not done when it was time to clean up my trash because I was talking too much. So I saved some of my food. I saved my carrots.

When the rest of the class came in the classroom, we sat on the red rug again to talk about Math. Since it was a half day, I stayed in my classroom for Math. My paper was easy because it was second grade Math and I do third grade Math at Mrs. Duvall's room at math time. We finished and then packed up our backpacks. When my teacher just told me to get in the line, the office called me to go home. When I got to the office, my mom was there to pick me up. When we got home, I changed my shoes. Then I went to mom's work to write in my diary and do my homework.

My favorite food

My favorite food is ice cream. It is healthy because it is made with milk. But you can not eat too much because ice cream also has sugar in it. Sugar is not good for your teeth. Also if you eat too much sugar, you will be hyper. I am always hyper at school.

In summer I like it because it is cold. Ice cream has all kinds of flavors. My favorite kind of ice cream is party cake. Party cake has pieces of cakes inside. The cake pieces are sweet. The cake pieces are in rainbow colors. Ice cream is cold. Sometimes it melts because the room temperature is high. When you keep the ice cream in the freezer long, it is kind of hard to bite. When ice cream is cold and hard, and you bite it with your front teeth; you can feel the cold air even before you bite it. I usually bite with my back teeth because I am not going to feel too cold. When the time my front teeth were gone, I felt very cold when I bite with the space where my front teeth were. I also like the ice cream pushed down into the cone because I can still have ice cream after I finish the top and when I am eating the cone.

My family usually buy ice cream from Blooms. Sometimes Blooms has buy one box get another box free. When my parents see the sales sign, they usually get two boxes. This time we got party cakes and chocolate cookie dough.

So when we got home, I got in bed but I did not sleep because I was so hungry. So I ate. When I finished eating, I had to go to the piano practice. I learned the second part of the Ode to Joy. I also played Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars. When I was done, I went downstairs to play with Alex. I played some music. I also made a paper fox. When my mom came back, I went in the car to go home. The car was so hot inside. At home I changed to my blue dress and I played princess with Kathy. Then my mom told me to write in my journal. I wrote about today.

At Alex's house, Aunt gave me hair clips as gifts. She also did my hair with mom. I like the butterfly hair clips the best. When I got home, I shared some hair clips with Kathy. She did not put them on because she has short hair. Yesterday my mom bought me two pairs of shoes. Both pairs of shoes had the same design name on them. They were the same shoes as mom's because our shoes both are from Born. My shoes are red clogs.

During reading strategy

Dear Diary,

Today my teacher told us about the during reading strategies.
  1. Make connections.
  2. Stop and go back to see what you just read.
  3. Stop and skip the word you don't know and come back to see if the word makes sense.
I will use these to be a better reader.

Reading Strategies

Dear Diary,

I started reading when I was little. But I never knew this till my teacher told me.
  1. Think of a reason why you want to read.
  2. Find a book that fits that reason.
  3. Think about what you already know about the book.
  4. Look at the pictures and predict what the book is about.
I will use these strategies and be a better reader.
