haha! mee again! i just posted my last comment then looked at the little face that came up next to my name. its funny!!
hhhahaahahahah
There are some funny little avatars in this program, Ruby – you’re right. Bored? Already? You need to make a list of all the things you want to do this summer – everything from fun to not-so-fun (like I have to clean all of my windowsills, yuck!). When you’re bored – pick something from your list! At least if you make a list, that’ll give you something to do for a while.
Carson has been going on You Tube and learning how to draw — you type in Learn To Draw… Tweety Bird or whatever you want (like dinosaurs) and it teaches you how to do it. Fill up that sketch pad!!
I’ll miss you, too,
Love,
Mrs. Brooks

Hi Mrs. Brooks, go on youtube.com and type one step at a time.
Lyrics to One Step At A Time by Jordin Sparks :
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
It’s the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
[Chorus:]
Take one step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time
Love Jonathan 🙂
Hi Jonathan,
I love Jordin Sparks, too! Tell me – what do you like about the lyrics? I like that you shared them with me, but I’d REALLY like to know what connection you make with them, or why you like them :).
Camp tomorrow? Have fun!!
Love, Mrs. Brooks
Hi Mrs. Brooks, I’m not going to camp because we are so busy to go to camp.
That’s Because We had to get ready to move in to Virginia and on July
28th I had take the van to Cleveland, OH and My dad and my dad’s friend Mickey and my mom. I’ll be in the hotel with the swimming pool and I’m curious about the hotel room and the name of the hotel and the beds. I liked using the key room because they have that you could insert the card in. I can not wait for 11 days to be over so I can be in the hotel.
Love Jonathan 🙂
Hi Mrs. Brooks, I’m going to Old Barnstable county Fair tomorrow right

Hi Mrs. Brooks,I went to the fair and we watch the sea lions and they were funny. And the sea lions did the magic tick and the lady give the
fish treats and the sea lions burp and the lady was like, ” Hey mind your manners”! And the sea lions was like [Bark, bark, bark]. It’s was funny.
