Summer Vacation

It's good-bye for now! Our last day of school is tomorrow. Then we're off on summer vacation. Many of us are moving up to another class as fifth graders, but the rest of us will be in Mrs. Handy's class again next year as fourth graders. Talk to you then!

Time with Abbey

On Thursday, I went home with Abbey. She and her brother were going to sleep outside in a tent on Saturday, but it did not work out. Abbey got scared because she heard weird noises coming from the basement. We watched the lightning and thunder that night and counted right after the lightning until the thunder started. Then we knew how far it was from us. One time, it was seven miles away. I got scared!

Love,
KIWI

Laura and Me

May 19, 2008

The fresh, mountain air. The cool breeze hitting my cheek as I swung back and forth. I went home today with Laura. She has soft and gentle blue eyes. She also has freckles that run across her face. She has two brothers. Allan is twenty years old, and is twice Laura's age. The other one is named Josh. He is twenty-five years old, and the oldest. He is a quarter of a century old! Laura's mom is very short and is a health assistant at a school. Her dad has two of the dirtiest jobs in the world! He and Josh are volunteer fire fighters. And Laura's brothers help her dad in logging. Laura has a sister that is in college, studying to be a nurse. She has a lot of homework. I've been thinking that the more homework the better! I've heard that she is kind of bossy. She is twenty-three years old.

After school, Laura took me to a softball game. Her team won, 8 to 1! After that we all went home and Laura did her homework. Then she told me that tomorrow another kid would have me. I started to cry. Then Laura wiped away my tears and said that it would be all right. To cheer me up, we grabbed some hot chocolate and watched tv. I think I'll miss Laura the most!
