Meet the 4th Grade Me

I have a goal to read back through my journals with the intent to reflect over my life. From time to time, I may share lessons learned (and forgotten) from years back. For now, I will share a few entries from my 4th grade writing journal. I have been laughing at the 4th grade me all day!

My Daddy

Sunday daddy went to Murpisbural (Murfreesboro) to go to school I said ha, ha-aha-ha, you have to go to school. Last night mama tried to call him but he had went to a movie.  Now I wish he were here. but once we went with him it was fun but I left my teddy bear in the resturaunt, and the gave me a Shoney bear.

I’m Cool Because

I’m cool because I go to school. People who don’t go to school think their cool but there not. I’m also cool because I don’t do things I don’t like. I do things I like to do. I’m cool because I like going to school and I think I’m cool. People who do drugs aren’t cool, but I am!

Spooky

The spookiest thing I ever saw was Chris [my brother]. I’m just kidding. But the spookiest thing I ever saw was my room. When I was little I thought that my clothes that was layed out for the next day of school was a witch. I would look at the ceiling and would think that there was a ghost up there, but now I’ve got a night light and I’m not scared of anything.  true story.

Space Alien

The space alien is cool. I have never met him but I’ve heard of him. I will never meet him, and nobody ever will because there is not one. There is not a such thing as a space alien. There is a Earth Alien, You! It was a joke. I wish there were a space alien.

The Cool Weather

The cool weather makes me think of Christmas. I don’t know why but every morning I walk outside to feed my rabbit I think tomorrow is Christmas. My mama is cold in the summertime. She is even colder in winter time. I’m burning up. But I like the cool weather.

Snow Flurries

Snow flurries is snow that touches the ground and melts. I wish that we didn’t have snow flurries because then there would be snow on the ground. I wish alot of things but they don’t come true. So I’m stuck with snow flurries.

Christmas

Christmas means Jesus’s birthday. The wise men followed a star that led them to Jesus. They gave him presents. Then other people started giving presents, to their family. Now it is a tradition to give presents. I like getting presents, but I think people should pay more attention to Jesus than the presents.

April Showers

April Showers bring May flowers. This month there has been a bunch of showers have took place. Next month maybe there will be a bunch of flowers. I have not liked this month because of all the showers. Friday is my birthday. Maybe there will be flowers by then. If not I will have to stick with showers instead of flowers. 

My Birthday

My birthday is Friday I might get a slumber party, but that depends on today. I have to go to the dentist. If I act like a big girl I get a slumber party. May 2 I might get to go to the Tennessee Aquarium. I hope I do. The problem is somewhere that we owe money to is making us pay intrist. Some of the things for my birthday might be put on hold.

The Arts Festival & Open House

The Arts Festival was galore with wonderful art. I saw some kindergarteners, first graders, & second graders, who were wonderful artists. Mama, Rita, Jessica, Cyndi, & I came to the Arts Festival & Open House. I won 1st, & 3rd, in the Arts Festival. Cyndi did not win anything, but the honor of having something in it. While Mama, & Rita were talking to Ms. Lori, Cyndi, and I were getting autographs. I had a ball.

Body Organ

The most interesting body organ is the brain. It is made up of nervous tissue. This is my favorite part, if you get a burn, nerves will go to your brain, and tell it that the stove or whatever is hot. My brain is like a computer. It holds everything, I know or remember. You don’t have to spend lots of money on a computer, you’ve got a body organ, that’s just as well.

Crafts

Crafts are neat. I like doing crafts. Yesterday I did a wall hanging. I need to do a needlework. I couldn’t find mine at home.  asked mama to hunt for it, but she said if I had of done a better job she would have hunted for it. I hope I can still to one. I liked doing the wall hanging, though.

Pilgrams

Life for the pilgrams was good. They had to build houses, and find and make their own food. That was hard, but not everything was hard. They had their fun just like we have ours. I think life for the pilgrams was really okay.

A Ray of Sunshine

If I was a ray of sunshine, I would be rays of glory. I think rays are pretty. I wished everything was that pretty. If I was a ray I would light up places I would be bright, and pretty. I would be one of the prettiest things in the sky. If I was a ray, I’d outshine them all. Wouldn’t that be glorious. Yes it would.
