            Today English class was all day. It started with an early bus ride starting at 6:30 A.M… yay (NOT).

When we got to Lincoln the first thing we did was tour the art museum. Some people didn’t really like it because it was “boring” or “it looked like a 1^st grader made it”. I can partially agree but some of it was cool. We explored the museum and answered the questions on a paper we were handed at the entrance of the museum.

 After the art museum we were lead to the library. It was HUGE! We walked around for a while, and then we sat down and wrote about a writing prompt we were given. Some people wrote poems, some wrote stories, and others pretended that they were an object and wrote a story about their life as that object. Then we moved on.

We walked to the meeting room type thing and met the people from our groups. While we were in those groups we shared some writing and then we had pizza and played games to get to know each other. My group played a game where we tossed a ball with questions on it. When you caught the ball witch ever question fell off was the one you answered. If no questions fell off you just picked one off. Some of the questions were: what is your favorite breakfast food? What is your pet’s name? And if you don’t have a pet what pet would you want? After our small groups we listened to some of the kids from our own school and other schools read a piece of their writing. Nikki, Gabbie, and Shayne shared from our school. After that was open mike and Wyatt shared his “I Am From” Poem.

            While on the bus home we had some rain troubles. But overall it was a good day. I mean hey we got out of school for it!
