First week of school

The first day of school is gone and now starting a LONG year of school. my math teach is fun. And he is a totally math geek! I mean he wears a pocket protector! mom thinks that is hysterical! he is my favorite now. the English teacher is nice. She used to teach Juvenile Delinquents. She really tries to teach the way we would like and cares about what we think. I think that is great. Then there is the Spanish teacher. he is great. Fun guy. one of my favorite teachers is the Social Studies teacher. OH! he is so great! we just pretended we are all senators. We got to pick a state to be from and of course I picked Oregon, the beaver state! I was not only born there but 90% of the people down there are democrats which what side I am on! We get to make bills and then debate over them. I am about the best debater ever! I love it! I can make such good come backs! debating has always been something I had liked to do! I am learning so much about government and republicans and about the peers around me... This year in social studies I know I will have a great time. we will dress for Ellis Island where we will pick a country and then dress like it and learn to speak its language and we will pretend we are trying to get into the US. It looks so fun,. We will also dress up like hobos for the soup kitchen... And then at the end of the year we will get to go to Washington DC! YES! My least favorite teacher isthe science teacher. He scares me so much! he has these little beady eyes and always get mad if you do anything wrong. but on the positive side he does some fun stuff. like for practice using triple beam balances and graduated cylinders we filled up those water balloons to 250 grams each. and then for measurement we built a giant slingshot and shot the water balloons at a frog stuffed animal 25 yards away. it was fun. we had 7 tries to hit him and our group of 4, figured out on the 4th try that if you pull the slingshot back to about 128cm. and aim to the left then it will come close to the target. so on the 7th try we hit it! yes! the bus is long and we lost 1 person and gained seven 6 graders so we all have to seat double... 8th grade isn't going to be as good as 7th but it will be pretty good. that pretty much somes up my whole first four weeks of school!
