You should be proud (well, most of you…just kidding!). So what are your plans for the summer? Any good books you are waiting to read? I know there are several that I have set aside ready for a nice summer day at the pool. I am currently reading The Water is Wide. It is by Pay Conroy…he was a teacher in the 70’s on Yamacraw Island, off the coast of South Carolina. He taught very low income students who knew next to nothing. Many of the were in the 5th grade and could not add 2+2. It is very interesting. Next, I am reading The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. It will be the last of his books that I have not read. What an accomplishment for me! What books are you planning to read? Remember…it will make you a smarter 7th grader!
I am planning to take a trip to Texas this summer to visit some family. I cannot wait! I have never been before and there are a lot of interesting things to see there. I hope to go to the Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk. http://www.visitsanantonio.com/index.aspx The rest of my summer will be full of relaxing and helping my sister open up her new salon and boutique in Greer. Come visit sometime. http://www.pinkmascarasalonandboutique.blogspot.com/
