Three weeks till summer!

Only three more weeks of fourth grade left! I can hardly wait! The only problem is, I don't want to leave my magnificent teacher's class, Mrs.Heitmann. We're on our last chapter of History and homework's been really light because we barely have anything left in our books. Also, there is only a small amount of pages in our planner too! Summer's going to be so much fun! My family and I are going to Mt. Rushmore for the Fourth of July and I expect I will be swimming almost everyday. I also expect to be doing a lot of reading too. My goal is to finish up the whole Harry Potter series and at least a couple of some other books.[I'm in the middle of the second book right now.]Another activity I am really looking forward to this summer is auditioning for the next team up in dance, Juniors. When I watch them dance they look amazing![The other teams too.] My friends birthday party is also something to look forward to along with the Cal.Elite dance recital. "Peter Pan" is a play that this program my friend on dance team and I do. I am trying out for Wendy which is one of the main leads in "Peter Pan". Right now we are doing the play "Annie". I tried out for Tessie but unfortunately, I didn't get the part;but I did have the opportunity to tap dance with Tessie during one of the dance numbers.[My friend got to do it too.] This is my first time doing this program so I didn't get my hopes to high to expect a lead roll. It is so much fun and all the teachers are extremely nice! I have so many goals to reach this summer, I don't know if there is enough summer to do it all in!

Brain Busters....

Here are some questions that will have your brain doing some hard thinking. See if you can figure them all out!

Why do people park on a driveway, but drive on a parkway?

Why does "after dark" occur after light?

Why are whales still chubby after all that swimming?

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Why do cameras have round lenses, but take square pictures?

Why does night fall, but day break?

Why is one of the hottest dishes called "chili?"

Why are many people afraid of heights but no one is afraid of widths?

If you figured out at least one of them type me a comment of your answer but please tell me which question your answering. Thanks!
