Today was supposed to be a long day but because of parent/teacher conferences, we had half hour classes so we got out of school earlier than we usually would. I did not know that, so I was wondering why all the classes seemed so short. At hour break, my friends told me why it seemed so short and we continued to play tag. After that, we only had one class period until school got out. By the time school ended, it was only 12:30!
Math sounded cool because they seemed to be playing a math game about the area of parallelograms. The kids kept whooping and groaning as their team won or lost points. Then came Politics which was not as exciting as Math but still was fun. In History, everyone gave a presentation while I studied my German Made Simple book. It was a fun day and I think my classmates would agree.
Because of the short day, Kyra and I had to walk home from the bus stop. I really enjoyed the walk because it reminded me of how I used to walk home from school. It seemed so cool to walk through German countryside. Especially when we had to climb a small hill and I could look over to my right and see a small town so far away it looked like a toy set! It was the perfect picture for a postcard.
Colman, I've really enjoyed your recent posts a lot! Your descriptions are fun, and your observations are interesting. I especially enjoyed your description of the "perfect picture for a postcard." I could truly picture what you were seeing, and am glad you are noticing the beauty there. I also enjoyed your explanation of the variations in language. It is interesting to see the different ways language has evolved - that is to say that German and English are derived from the same early roots, but they have developed distinctly separately in manner of expression as well as vocabulary.
