Hello Everyone!

Gee, how time flies.....when I hear my parents say this I always wonder just what it means...now I think I know. It's been so long since I got together with my secretary to update this blog. One day it was January and now it's already March.

Let's see...where do I begin. In January I made the all A honor roll...that was great. In our math class we've been learning to multiply and divide...can you imagine that. My Mom says she never learned that in 2nd grade. I've really been teaching her a whole lot of things. It's like we're learning together. She says if she had know all of these "strategies" when she was small...she would have been a genius. What ever!!!!!!!!!!!

In February we had our Valentine celebration. I got lots of valentines from my friends and I also gave lots of them. What fun!

Now it's March and it's time for the Hockey Bee once again...remember, I went last year and stayed till the 5th round. When we had our spell off I didn't do to well. I came in third. It wasn't a good day for me. But, I got lucky (it is March ya know). The kid that beat me is not able to go so my teacher asked if I was willing to participate. I jumped at the chance to represent my school again. It's been short notice but I will try my best to get further this year. I've learned lots of new words. No one ever said 2nd grade would be easy. The Bee will be this Saturday, March 6th. Maybe I can find a lucky penny to put in my shoe. Wish me luck.

Back to the school scene: Yesterday was a TAKS day at school. In my class we also took a TAKS simulation. (That's a practice test) It was really hard to sit still for such a long time. I keep telling my Mom I don't want to go to 3rd grade because they have to take the "real" TAKS. I want her to "home school" me...my Nana just laughs. Can you see my Mom being my teacher...she says heaven help us.

Well, it's homework time again....more later. I will post after i get back from the Bee on Saturday.
