Hello Penpal, My name is Crystal. I live here in Iowa. The school I go to is Carver Academy. It’s a pretty nice school. My favorite subjects are reading, art, math, social studies, and gym. I love reading. I think it’s one of the best things I do. I’m also pretty good at drawing. It’s something I enjoy. I like learning about different people and their cultures. Another thing I like is writing stories. Also poems that express my feelings. Right now I’m writing a story, but I’m not done with it. But sometimes I get tired of sitting too much. That’s where liking gym comes in. I have family here in Iowa, in Portland, Oregon, Mexico, and Spain. Most of my family lives in Mexico though. I also now have family in Chicago. Most of my family is Hispanic. Some of my though are Americans. I have more second cousins than first cousins. But I love them all. When I get older I want to be a nurse. I like helping people. But also I should mention that I’m a Jehovah’s Witness. What about you? What do you like to do when you’re not working? Do you have any kids?

Sincerely, Crystal

Nature's first green is gold Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

It started to rain. We got soaked. We ran into the building. The thunder and lightening lasted for hours.

My friends and I were playing outside during recess when it suddenly started to rain. We got so soaked we ran into the building. After that the thunder and lightening lasted for hours. 7th Reading ** Please place the planners and bellwork information in your wikispace folder. [|Wikispaces4-6-10.doc]

BW-- My backpack is //way// too large for me. Plus I also put a lot of things in there. I have a hard time carrying it because of its tremedous weight. Because of that my shoulders hurt //a lot//. So next year I'll get a smaller backpack so my shoulders won't feel like they're ready to fall off. But I'll have to try and be more organized.
