Farewell

I am sitting here in the now empty classroom and I have to say, I am feeling a little melancholy. I would like you all to know that I have REALLY enjoyed this year. This is a special class, and I had a blast teaching you and learning along with you. You are funny, smart and eager. It is a treat to spend a year with a group like this. Please keep learning. Please stop in and say hi from time to time. Be as great a group with your next teacher as you were for me. And finally, have a great, safe, exciting, joyful summer vacation.

Today's Journal: Myths

Myths are legends or some people call them folk tales . I just made up a new myth called Russell . Once upon a time there was a boy . He was a really weird boy . He had two siblings Roberto and Maggieto . They were very nice . Russell was so mean and annoying . He annoys everyone . They were walking down the street . Russell was on the road, then Maggieto and Roberto tried to stop him . He was running and then Roberto and Maggieto got Russell ! Then Russell went to jail . Then Roberto and Maggieto were heroes again .

Today's Journal: The mysterious bottle

The mysterious bottle holds a spear. The spears tip would have a special hook. The spear is used for spearing fish in the bay. I would like to do that. Me and my dad would do that together. Me and my dad love to fish. I have never spear fished before.

Today's Journal: The Weather

The weather today so far is sunny. I like it in the 80s or 70s. The 90s or 100s are too hot. I hate pouring rain. There are lots of clouds. People can tell the weather by clouds. Snow is okay but not blizzards. Tornadoes and hurricanes are scary to a lot of people.

Today's Journal: What if everyone looked alike?

If everyone looked alike I would be freaked out. It would look like mirrors everywhere. Everyone would be twins. I would be so scared I would faint 10 times a day. It would be weird to be in a room full of people,it would look like a fun house. It would be weird to see someone walk up behind you when you are looking in a mirror. That would be really creepy.

Today's Journal: If I didn't go to school...

If I did not go to school I would not know as much as I do. I would know a lot about horses and riding because that is were I would be all day. Josy would be groomed all day. I might get Odey some toys to play with. I might go to the barn to ride her and I would train Patch. Patch would get as many Jolly Balls as he wants. I would get all of this because I had time to go and get it. If I did not go to school I would go to a lot of horse shows with Josy. Josy would not like that because she would have to work. I might go on trail rides on Josy she enjoys trail rides.
THAT is what I would do if I was not in school.

today's journal: The best pizza

The best pizza is at Jr.'s Italian restaurant. We usually buy the kind you put in the freezer. My grandma said she doesn't like that kind. I like cheese pizza better than pepperoni, I usually take off the pepperoni and eat it like that. Some people like ranch dressing on it. I also like Domino's pizza. Saturday I went to a place where you could get creamies and pizza. I had a creamie, than we went to the grocery store, than I got pizza. The pizza was pretty good. Most people like pizza, even though it's not healthy. I don't like tomatoes but I like tomato sauce, just like I don't like raisins but I like grapes.
