Creative Composing...

In Girl Scouts we are working on our Creative Composing try-it. My mom is the leader of my troop. She gave out little composition books yesterday and told us to create anything we wanted, stories, songs, drawings, poems... Mom said, just to write about whatever is on our minds. She said that she wants our writings to be creative and original. I wrote a few poems and I thought I'd share just one of them.

Mother Nature

by Annie - age 8

I put my feet between the grass

as the sun shines across the sky

As the flowers grow and the bees fly

carrying pollen as they go by.

Let the leaves grow on the trees

thank you, Mother Nature for all of these.

Sorry I've been gone.

Yesterday I started a new school that meets one day a week. My brother and I are taking two classes together and I am taking one by myself. In my second class the teacher mixed my name up and made me leave the class! She sent me to another class because she thought I was not on her roster. So I didn't actually take Spanish the first day. My mom was mad about that. In my third class, Beyond Beautiful Girlhood, I learned how to be beautiful on the inside as well as outside. Being a beautiful girl has nothing to do with how you look on the outside, it is how you feel and how you are on the inside. If you are a good person who is nice and kind, you are beautiful.

I am really sad that my hamster died. We are having a funeral for her on Saturday. I miss her. I don't like talking about it because I loved her so much. Goodbye, Henrietta. :(

That's all for now, have an awesome adventure!

I had nothing to write about today....

So I made a video instead! lol

I am excited about Saturday.

My friend Jenardre is having a birthday party on Saturday. I am invited to sleep over. We are going to paint nails, watch movies, eat popcorn, and sleep in sleeping bags. We are going to be watching Tangled. I haven't seen that movie yet so I am looking forward to it. Jenardre is one of my best friends. She is in my Brownie troop. I see her on Brownie meetings. We do lots of fun stuff. She has spent the night at my house many times and I've spent the night with her. She has a very cute baby sister. I can't wait for our sleepover. I am posting a video of the last Brownie meeting we had. We sang to Jenardre and had cupcakes because our meeting was on her birthday!

My Great Snow Adventure!

This week was fun. We got a lot of snow. I made snowmen with my brother. we made six snowmen to represent the family. We made snow angels, had a snowball fight, we played in the woods, and we got stuck in a big hill of snow! We couldn't see the hole because of the snow. It was funny. My mom and dad didn't try to leave the neighborhood for days. The roads were so frozen! It would be too dangerous.

Next week, I will be starting a new class on Tuesdays. My brother and I will be taking two classes at the home school co-op in town. I am taking Spanish and Beyond Beautiful Girlhood. Mom says that the class is about little girls learning to be women. This school sounds really fun. There will be lots of other kids there and we can go once a week.

Fun in the snow!

SNOW!
