This is a little story written by Flash, age 7. Spelling and grammar is as she wrote it.
Thanks Giving
Just as everyone sat adown at the table for thanks giving dinner, the turkey talked like a cowbow and said my name is Bretty! Then he jumped on Tori’s head and said Bobby is crazy! [...]
The first day of first grade was today. Technically. Flash got on the bus at 7:55 and was back home by 11:00am. The school day was actually less than 2 1/2 hours. Just enough time to give the teacher all the supplies, get an overview of the teacher and class and [...]
School starts next week. It’s a little hard to believe it’s already the third week of August and time for school and yet, here it is. We had a lot of fun this summer but the kids are looking forward to going to school.
Flash begins school on Tuesday with a two hour block. [...]
I got an email from an acquaintence yesterday and in among the subject matter a walking bus was mentioned. I thought it was interesting so I looked it up. A walking bus is when a 2 grown-ups walk along a selected route and pick up kids within walking distance to the school.
This can [...]
Flash decided in the last few minutes before going into her classroom that she didn’t want to go to school today. I offered a deal: “If you go today, you don’t have to go tomorrow.” Hee hee. So she didn’t realize it was Friday and it was her last day anyway.
The [...]
This morning we met Flash’s kindergarten teacher and aide. They both seem very nice. Flash is extremely excited to be starting school. This morning she came in my room dressed and ready with backpack on. Too bad school doesn’t start until tomorrow.
This year she will go to school all day instead [...]
Next week is the end of my marketing class. I’m a bit nervous about the test because we have to do 15 multiple choice, 4 essay questions and 1 big essay, all in 3 hours.
However, I actually survived the class. I must say I felt quite ignorant at times. I have had [...]
I got a hundred. I got a hundred! We finally got our grades back for our research papers and I got a 100 out of 100. Yay me! All I have left is my final exam which I will take Wednesday morning over at the education office. I’m a little [...]
My research paper, that is. I sent my paper in to the Effective Writing Center last week and got my critique back on Friday. Last night I finished it up and turned it in this evening.
I did my best. I am finished! It might be another week before I have a [...]
I turned in my research paper to the Effective Writing Center last night for review and editing. Within 48 hours I should get it back with changes that need to be made. I’m just glad the worst of it is over. I’m thinking by the end of the weekend I will have [...]
I’m almost finished with my paper. Technically, I have to have 15 more lines, less if my name goes on each page within the margins. Personally, I have two paragraphs left, one rather large. That’s okay. I’m really close. Yay!
I should be back soon.
I am still alive, just very busy working on my research paper. In fact, Friendly Friday links will have to wait a couple of days. The more I work on my paper, the more stressed I feel and the less I feel I know about this information. All in all, it’s been [...]

Flash brought home a note from the school giving us the dates and times to register for school next year. Our school registers April 4-8 from 8-4. I asked her teacher today if there’s some kind of order for registering. Not a chance. You just go to the school and apparently [...]
It’s midterms week. I am very glad at this time to only have the one class. The test is not bad, but having to read for my research paper as well is starting to get to me. My test is 76 (1-point) multiple choice questions and 4 (6-point) short essay questions. [...]
When I received my textbook it came with a Student Assessment and Learning Guide. It’s a large book, the same size and thicknes as the textbook. So, when I emailed my professor with the news my book came I asked him about the learning guide and if I should be filling it out [...]
I finally received my textbook in the mail today. Yay! Now I just have to start reading the 4 chapters from the previous weeks plus the 2 chapters from this week. Let’s see, that comes to 202 pages. I won’t get caught up this week, but as long as I keep [...]
I’m into my third week of school and it seems to be going rather smoothly. The first week our conference assignment was to answer some questions about ourselves. Week 2 had us giving our opinion on President Bush’s actions regarding federal funds being offered to faith-based organizations who help the community. This [...]
