O.k. 6th graders. It is time to start doing some blogging. Since school began we have been on two trips to the arboretum, we picked vegetables from the garden, and we made vegetable soup. During the first week of school we went swimming two times. We have finished a great book called, A Single Shard and we have learned about Benedictine values. I'd like you to write a paragraph about one of the things we've done so far this year. Just click on comments, write your paragraph and then publish it. I will o.k. your entry and then you'll be able to find it on the website. Remember, a paragraph is just like a sandwich. It had a top bun ( the topic sentence), lots a wonderful insides ( the details), and a bottom bun ( a closing sentence). Good luck, have fun. Finish this assignment before we head for our camping trip next week!

All day I was looking forward to swimming. I loved swimming to the raft and jumping off with my friends. We jumped in so many diffrent poses. It was really fun in the shallow water too. We splashed around and splashed each other. I was full of laughter. I wish we could go swimming at the beach all year long.

On the first week of school we went to the lake to go swimming.When we got there I went to the dock and jumped off into the cool water.I swam around with my friends.We jumped off the dock many times.After a while of swimming I saw the raft and wanted to go to the raft with my friends so we swam out.When we got to the raft we all jumped off at the same time! It was so much fun.I will never forget my time at the beach.

It was really fun swimming the fish week of school! I hade a lot of fun! I think it was a good idea to do something the frist week like that. Everyone got to talk with each other. I may just be me but I thought we also did a good job selling the rootbear floats for the fist time. I'm really excited to go camping on Tursday and Friday!We get to sleep in tents and sit by the fire.

I was really looking forward to going swimming since the first day of school. Then on the second day of school we went swimming! I swam around with couple of my friends that i had just met. We splashed each other so much that I started to get a little dizzy. Later we went to the raft and jumped off like a million times! I wish we could swim all year around! Swimming with my friends was a lot of fun! I can't till we do all the other fun things!!!

About 4 weeks ago we went swimming at Saint John's Prep. We ran down the dock and went flying in the air. Landing in the cool clean water. We swam out to the dock, climbed up the ladder and jumped right back in. In the shallow end we splashed each other so much that u couldn't even see one another. Getting lake water is not the best thing in the world, but it was okay. We got the sand off our towels and walked back to the school.I wish we could go swimming again.

My favorite part of schol so far has been swimming at the beach. The water was so cold it took me forever to put my head underwater. After I did I went out to the raft with all my friends.We jumped off the raft like what felt like a billion times. As more people came on the raft the more it started to tip. We got off soon as possible. I was glad it didn't flip. (YEAH!) Over all it was a great day at the beach.

My favorite part was selling floats. It is good to see a lot of money coming in for Toys for Tots. I also like selling floats. I am looking forward to picking out toys for kids.

My favorite part out of this year has to be picking veggies out of the school garden. I was assigned to herbs, but it was a really quick job, so I helped dig up carrots, too. It felt really good to get my hands down into the dirt. I hope we can do it again!

When we sold our root beer floats was something that was really fun to me. The bussiness was booming, we sold so many. One of the reasons I liked it was because I had to keep running down stares and up for the soda and the ice cream.

My favorite thing this year was hiking to the chapel. I enjoyed this because I love to hike espescally with my friends and we had johnnie bread which I love, also down by the water there was a dock and there was fish so we tried to catch them with our bare hands and they would attack our fingers. I hope we can do it again sometime.

It has been two weeks since we did vegetble soup. I cut the summer squash, but not all of it. We went down in groups to cut vegetbles. I am not sure how was in my group. My group was the first group to cut so we got the first pick. The oven down stairs did not work, so my teacher had to bring the pot up stairs. The soup was very good I hope we have vegetble soup again.

My favorite thing thing that we've done so far is go on a walk to the chapel. I really liked walking all that way because i got to talk to mrs. anderson about random things. I also liked the walk because is was a really nice day. The reward for walking all the way was johnny bread with peanut butter and jelly. on the way back I noticed some trees right smack dab in the middle of the path because people kept tripping over the roots. over all it was fun and I hope we can go out there again!
