What Do You Look Like? //** // January 29, 2008 // Dear Mrs. Johnson,

I have curly, dirty blond hair and hazel eyes. I usually wear my hair down but some times I wear it in a pig tail. I don't really like the color pink, but I wear it any way because my mom says I look good in it. I'm 4' 7 and my dad is 6' 7. Mom says I'll grow up, big and tall, like my dad. I am always worried about the answer to the question. Like many (all of my teachers) say "You're too worried about the answer. Cool it!" I am frequently asking questions to make sure I am right. My mom and my teacher (Mr. M) say I talk to fast. I wish I could believe them but I don't ever know when I do it.

Sincerely, Bridget //** Do You Have Any Pets? **// // February 19, 2008 //

Dear Mrs. Johnson,

Yes, I have six pets. One is a guinea pig and the others are fishes, but they don't // really // count as pets because fish are boring and you can't teach those kinds of pets’ tricks like guinea pigs and dogs and cats, but I'll get to that later on in the story. My guinea pig is named Bob (like I mentioned above.) He is very playful. I taught him // NO //, and // COME TO ME //. (Well I'm sill working on // COME TO ME. // But he is only five months old and he has many more tricks to learn. He is small and all black. He has a stripe from his ears to his nose. He also has a stripe on his hip.

Sincerely, Bridget

 * WHITE CHRISTMAS **

Small blank flakes Fall from the sky Makes everything Snowy white in its path Fiery flames burn Courageously in the fire place White flurries Fall every where A blanket of snow Covers the ground Cold Freezing cold -Bridget Sandbothe December 4, 2008

How Do You Think You Are Doing In School? ** I think I am doing good in school. I am really improving in my writing skills. I have a lot of fun with my classmates. Emma and I don’t really seem to get along, but Mr. M helps us and we’ve gotten a bit closer. Once Mr. M let the hole class do a science experiment with Mentos and Coke-A-Cola. We broke a myth that if you put Mentos in Coke it will explode and it did! I think I can get better at Social Studies. I am improving a lot. I think I could get better at spelling too. I seem to be lacking spaces in a lot. The only reason it is correct on the computer page is because the computer changes it every time from alot to a lot.
