So I was going through old school stuff while I was unpacking some boxes, and I stumbled upon some things from foruth grade, from right before we moved out of the US. It was probably writen in the last week before we came to Germany, and after deciphering it, I was surprised at how decent it was (for being from a fourth grader xD) so I decided to put it up here :) (after correcting some horrid misspellings xD)
Here goes nothing ^^

Fall
The tleaves are changing colous
Ready to be naked
Thanksgiving is getting closer
Time to feast and play
Veteran's Day is a holiday
Let's shout and cheer
The fall fair is here
Sit around the fire
Making smores and drinking cider
Days get shorter
Days get cooler
That's what happens in fall

from a daily journal thing I think... I don't remember much about my elementary schooling in the USA, but I remember everything after getting to Germany ^^ I miss it there... we did a lot of work, but at least they don't make us write pointlessly like they do here in American schools.... I've a stack of materials from Germany that are rounghly (in US measurements... blegh, I don't like them, I think the metric system makes more sense) two feet tall, and that's from fourth to ninth grade, and one semester in US highschool gave me at least a fourth of that.... it's silly
But then again -- no offense to you who like american schools -- american schools are failing so I'll shut up before i go all philosophical and off about how america is no longer the country it was founded as...
greetings anyway
