Hey Girl!

School's almost out for the summer! Woo hoo! What are the plans? Hanging out? Having fun? Travel? We've got them all!

American Girl

Hello, this is Oh-eye-wanna-hug-ya from the Papaondaloosa tribe. My girl, Princess Kaya, has taken her dog for a little trip and been away for quite a while. We've looked all through the tipi but cannot find her. Do you know where she is? If so, contact the Papa Bear! (We love you, sweetheart. Enjoy the doll. Mom and Dad.)

Could I be Prouder, Part 2

Yo, Kit-Kat! Awesome concert last night. You were wonderful. I look forward to the next one. Mama Bear

Could I be Prouder?

Hey,

I just wanted to let my friend know how proud of her I am. She's such a cool person. She loves to laugh and to share things with everyone. But she's so much more than that!

My friend is thoughtful. She is kind. She is caring.

She also has a surprising strength of character which is entirely refreshing. I love the purity of her spirit and the joy of her life. And I'm so glad she is in mine.

Thanks, Kit-Kat for being you!
Mama

HOMEWORK

HOMEWORK HOMEWORK HOMEWORK

I was thinkin -- what were they thinkin?

Homework isn't fun
I work and work and homework isn't done

Homework doesn't make me smile
After school I still have to work for a while

Homework has no end
I'd rather spend time with friends

Homework makes me blue
I don't like homework, do you?

Then comes the test
I finished the very best

Hey, this homework's not so bad
Keep working and don't be sad

Cause good grades for mom and dad
will make everyone I know glad!

Friends

Do you have friends? I do. But the good thing is that it does not matter how many friends you have but how they treat you. Would you rather have one great friend or five mean friends? Well I have five great friends. Hanna, Julia, Savanna, Noel, and Amanda. The bad part is When I went to 5th grade we were all seperated. So now Hanna and Julia are in a class together and Maddison made many new friends. Now we are not that close of friends as we are now. But that is AOK . So now you may want to know about the other three. I knew Savanna from 4th. And the rest I made. Friends are almost the only things kids look forward to on back to school days.

Charlie

Charlie was my rabbit. I was like a mother to him. He was very sweet and loveable. When I gave him a bunny bath he was like the queen of drama! But he was not to last. He had died a day after we took him to the vet. Now I understand why they said all nice things must come to an end. I will still always love and grieve for him.
