I really like school.
Especially my school.
It's a Montessori school.
Montessori is a very different style from regular schools. Every body has different work to do, and they all do it at different times. The teacher may give a lesson to one person or the whole class. Everyone works at their own pace. If something is too easy, you get to move on, even if not everybody is ready. It is a safe work enviorment where everybody is seen both as an individual and as the same, which is good. I like that.
Another thing that kinda has to do with school is Girl Scouts. Well, not really, but I wanna talk (write) about it.
I love my Girl Scout troop. Espically my leader. She is really nice, and has tons of experience. We get to do a lot of fun things and a lot more of it than some other troops. Even though there are some certain people in my troop that may not be my absolute favorite people in the whole world, we all get along and everybody, for the most part, has a good time.
This year we are working on our bronze award and we have gotten to do some really fun stuff. In the spring we will be doing a service project and I am realy looking forward to it
We are also having a camping trip this weekend. So excited!
(PS: our leader wrote a really good post on her blog [most of my inspiration] about girl scouting...

School Again
Today was our first day back at school since December 17. I just realized that I created this blog over break so I'll tell you a little about the school I go to.
My teachers names are Mr. R and Mrs. W. There are 19 students in my class. Our school is really small, in fact, we're in a Church basement (not my Church, by the way). Thankfully, though, we are moving next year. It's getting quite cramped! My classroom is a converted kitchen. And, we're all 4th - 5th graders, all hitting our growth spurts at the same time. What a squeeze!
My favorite subject is math but I really like to read. You can call me a nerd and I won't be mad. Four eyes is pushing it, though. My favorite Montessori material is Racks and Tubes (used for division beginners [I had that lesson two years ago and did it for fun even after I learned division without that material]).
I love my school even though certain teachers may not be my favorites and some people irk me. It's fine. I can handle it. I feel so blessed when I stop and look around to see all the friends and people who care for and love me.
