Accelerated Reader at my School

AR is the most fun time of all at my school. I read a book twice, then a take a test. Mrs. Gilliam types in the name of the book. I use the computer and it asks me questions. For instance, if you test on Duck for President, it would ask you, "What's the name of the farmer?" It would give you choices like:

A. Cow Brown
B. Mr. Jones
C. Farmer Brown
D. Farmer Black

And then you have to click on the answer you think is right. But no peeking in the book!

I get points every time I pass a test. Right now, I think I have about 25 points and when I get one more point, I get a prize. Hunter and I are racing. He's a boy. We're racing to get the t-shirt prizes. You get those when you get to 35 AR points.

To get one AR point, you have to get 100% on two AR tests.

Today, I took a test on Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia. I only read it one time; I was a little sneaky about that. But we're supposed to read it two times! But I got 100%!

A Hayride and Halloweeeeeen!

I went to the Berry's house for a party. They had a hayride. It was pulled behind a John Deere tractor. When I looked on the tire, there was some cow poop on it! The hayride was so long, I couldn't believe my eyes. We went into the cow pasture; there were lots of cows. I tried to feed them some straw, but I couldn't reach them.

This is a swing at the Berry's house.
We had a good time at Halloween. In my town, we can go trick-or-treating at the park. They have fire truck rides, a hay ride and trick-or-treating. I was Wordgirl; there's a post about Wordgirl already on my blog. My favorite candy was Dum Dum suckers, Tootsie Rolls, gum and M & M's.

This is Wordgirl! Captain Huggyface is sitting on my feet.

This is my friend, Maddie and me on the Berry's hayride.
