August, 2000 What do you think is the most awesome thing about yourself? Why? I think the most awesome thing about me is that I have scars and every time I get a scar it makes me a little bit more like Jesus. Haley's 4th grade journal August 2000 - April 2001 August, 2000 My first day of 4th grade was fun and easy. I expect 4th grade to get harder and harder. I felt good and safe because of my teacher. August 16, 2000 I would feel good about going to school all year because it's important to learn and learning helps you through your life. August 18, 2000 My favorite amusement park is Disney World. I like Disney World becuase it has a lot of fun rides and a lot of fun things to do. This weekend my grandma and grandpa came over and we played a card game called Tic. It is very fun to play and it takes a very long time. August 22, 2000 I feel good about the things we will learn in 4th grade, because I like to learn and learning is good for you. I would talk it out and if they wouldn't listen to me I would ask my mom and dad to help. If that didn't work then I would walk away. August 24, 2000 If I could create the perfect teacher I would make someone that was fun, funny, different, nice, someone who respects others, and someone that we can learn from, and someone who helps when you are hurt. Now that we have had a full week of 4th grade I feel very comfortable staying in Mrs Rothmier's classroom and now I am glad that I am not moving to the new class. What do you think is the most awesome thing about yourself? Why? I think the most awesome thing about me is that I have scars, and every time I get a scar it makes me a little bit more like Jesus. I was inconspicuous by blending in with the couch, I dressed in blue and layed down. Yes someone noticed me and they asked me what I was doing and I told them I was being inconspicuous and I explained what inconspicuous was. August 30, 2000 What do you feel your friends think is the greatest thing about having you for a friend? I think that the greatest thing my friends think is that I am always there for them and if they are hurt then I will help them and if I can't help then I will find someone who can August 31, 2000 How can you be safe going home? Explain why. I can be safe walking home with a friend or a buddy because if someone gets hurt or a stranger takes him/her then the other person can help or run for help. That's how I can be safe walking home from school. |
