continued from France…
The day after we arrived, we came to the Eiffel Tower. It was HUGE and daunting. Street vendors were drawn to the area with all the tourists, and took to pestering us. It felt like we waited a lifetime in that ticket line. It wasn’t too bad, though. We chatted with a honeymooning [...]

A few weeks ago, I got back from Paris, France. It was such a cool experience! This was my first time in Europe and it was a great first impression. All the people were as skinny as sticks and everyone knew what trends to wear. You think a lot of people wear scarves in TN, [...]

All through fourth grade I had some really great friends. They all had strange takes on life which made them unique in a great way. We all had fights, like friends do, but when fourth grade was over good-byes were hard.
I wonder if someone new will befriend me in fifth grade…

School’s out and summer is in! Get ready for hot weather and long days! Though I’m happy about school being out, I’m also sad. I feel like all the happy times and laughs spent with 4th grade friends, is over. But I don’t have it that bad… 5th graders have to [...]

TCAP is Tennessee’s big test. Kids from 3-8th grade take it. It covers what you have to know for your grade. And, last week my school took it. After, “Good Morning, Scales”, we got to work. Each section was about an hour long. We did 2 sections a day.
Then for the rest of [...]

This year my school is doing the play, Your a Good Man Charlie Brown. It looks like a lot of fun. In the 1960’s it was played on Brodway. There are many different groups in our play: The Sports Nuts, The Brainiacs (I’m a Brainiac), the Music Nuts, pound puppies… I can’t name all of [...]
