Language Arts Letter: Anxiety
Hey everybody! I know it’s been a while since I last wrote a post. I’ve been really busy with school projects and swimming. As summer comes along I should be posting a lot more, I promise!

Summer Flashbacks
Hi guys, The last time you heard from me I was ecstatic about my state win. Wow, that was awhile ago. What have you been up to since then?

Camp Edwards Fun!

This year we are studying Rocks and Minerals, so we stopped at the Quarry on our way to East Troy. We were investigating and looking for fossils. I found a tiny fossil, but somehow I [...]

It is really well organized and the volunteers were all so nice. Also, my Dad’s cousin, Tom came with me, PJ and Greeny. He is a super cool guy. This [...]
