Welcome 4th Graders! I had this blog back in 2020 and I decided that this summer I should start blogging again. I think this will be a neat way to keep in touch over the summer and to share some of the fun things we are doing and exploring. My first post is going to be short. I’m going to share my 3 goals for the summer with you.

• To learn more about snakes. I have a snake living in my backyard and I’m a little scared of it so I’m staying on the deck. That’s no fun! My husband told me that snakes are good and that I just need to learn more about them. My first goal is to go to the library and get a couple of books on snakes and learn more about them and how they help the environment. I’ll share what I learn later this summer and try to get a picture of our slithery friend.
• I want to exercise more. Being healthy is important for all of us. I try to eat right and drink plenty of water, but I’m not so good at exercising. I’m going to start walking every day. I’ll be sure to keep you updated on my progress. I might need some motivation!!
• I want to get really good at baking pies. When we went to Minnesota, we stopped at a place called Norske Nook and they are known for their pies. I bought the cookbook and I think that baking pies will be my summer hobby. Luckily, I don’t really like pie so it won’t mess up my goal #2. I will just have to find some people to share my pies with besides my husband. He LOVES pie!

I’m excited to hear if you have any goals for the summer. If you have a goal, please comment below. Or if you don’t have a goal, just comment to let me know that you are following along or if you have an idea or something to share. I can’t wait to hear from some of you!
