Just today, we started a thing that the whole school would do. Our teachers asked us to not bring your jump ropes, hula hoops, or anything for outside because the teachers said they would bring their own things and we would play with that. It's because lots of kids were left out. Just today we started it and there are bins that you can take stuff from. Today I played with a hula hoop and another time I played on the bars.

I am reading a book called "Socks" by Beverly Cleary. It's about a cat that used to get lots of attention then the owner had a baby so they paid more attention to the baby. Socks got lonely for most of the time. Their Nana did not like the cat so she tried to convince them to get rid of the cat. Then they thought Socks did something bad because her Nana said. So they put Socks outside and he had a fight with another older black cat. So when he came in, their owners were very sad and they finally paid more attention to Socks again for at least an hour.

Today is St. Patrick's Day. For breakfast, we had green milk and green frosting on our cinnamon rolls. Orange Cinnamon rolls are my favorite. We added food color to the orange frosting so it's still my favorite. Nobody at my school got pinched because our uniforms are green. There was a Book Fair at school. You could get books, glow-in-the dark markers, pens, pencils, smelly highlighters, a whole pack of Magic Treehouse Books and A-Z Mysteries which are my favorite books.

I just started reading "Tabby in the Tub" by Ben M. Baglio. Even though it sounds like there's a tub in it, I haven't read about it yet. It's kind of a caring book.

I had achivment days and the young women came in. we played a game called "do you love your neighbor"what you would do is you would make a circle then someone has to stay in the middle and then the person in the middle has to go up to someone and say"do you love your neighbor" if they don`t then he/she has to say "but,I do love people that have blue eyes or anything else. and people with blue eyes have to run to a different seat. and the person that was in the middle has to try and sit down before all the seats are taken. Then the last person not to have a chair is in the middle. Then it goes on forever

Abraham and Lot

We just got our report cards. I got straight A's and perfect attendance awards. I was shy standing in front of everyone.

Today it is raining a lot! In the morning, the streets were flooded up to about 2 feet deep. We were glad we were in our tall van. Later on, we had more rain that wasn't too bad but it started thundering really loud.

Today at church, I learned about Abraham and Lot. They wanted to be together because they were best brothers maybe cousins but there was not enough room so they had to move away from each other.

Lot had went to a city called Sodom. And years later, he got married and that time the city had gotten wickeder. Abraham knew it so he told Heavenly Father that if he could get Lot over to his city, then he would do something for Him. So he did. He told Lot and his family to go where Abraham was but to not look back. So Lot and his family went over to Abraham's house but while they were walking, Lot's wife missed being in Sodom so she looked back. She turned into a pillar of salt.

What this taught me was that I should not look back and want the things that are bad and look forward to the things that are good.
