Sprained Wrist, the Zoo and almost $3,000!

In the last few weeks I've had a sprained wrist from tennis. Last Wednesday I went to the Providence Zoo in Rhode Island with my Science class. We saw many exotic animals like moon bears, giant anteaters, giraffe, snow leopards and much more. The Roger Williams Zoo was named after Roger Williams because he was the founder or Rhode Island who believed in religious tolerance and being kind to the Native Americans. My favorite part of the zoo were the African Wild Dogs that were all basking in the sun.

In writing class I've been working on "The Foghorn", our school's newspaper, and "Beyond the Horizon", our school's literary magazine. In "The Foghorn" my friend Lydia and I are working on a teacher and student spotlight which is when you interview a person; we're interviewing Jeanne Peterson, a special education teacher. In "Beyond the Herizon" my friends Bezie, Arianna and I surveyed students for the best title of the magazine.

On the farm in front of my house the Perrys are thinking about getting pigs, cows, and sheep. Right now they are only growing vegetables: broccoli, tomatoes, lettuce, squash, etc. I want my mom to get me one of the turkeys my science teacher hatched at school, but she won't let me because she doesn't want it to get eaten by a coyote.

My brother Alex got home from Wisconsin this week. He was at the National Championships for Baseball which his school Trinity won.

Today I made a tuition payment to my mom for People to People of almost $3,000. Only $3,000 more to fundraise! Back to it.
