Pencil Crayons- Wikipedia- Shared

Hey are you ready for school because I know I am. Do you like your teacher? My teacher is nice and  funny.  Every Friday we get a Jolly Rancher.  Sometimes he tells us jokes.  My teacher is ready to go! Have you given your teacher a gift or card? It can be a compliment or a note with a positive message inside. My teacher likes math because we do a lot of math and math homework. I have added a new math link, Mental Maths to my site. I challenge you to try it!

My Fish Tank

My fish are intelligent because I observe them swimming to the top of the tank, when they are ready to be fed.  They recognize the food tin and they seem to know that it is feeding time.  I believe that they recognize me!   Some people believe that gold fish are baby dragons with magical powers.    What do you think?
