Gym: Teacher - Mrs. Pope
Gym is getting more and more fun every time we play. The part I'm worried about is doing the routine with a partner. We have make up a routine using the moves we learned before and make them flow together. I try to practice at home, but the floor is hard and when I mess up, I really hurt myself. I like to try in the front yard on the grass, but then I get itchy. Our living room is too small and so is my room. I have a dog in the backyard and he'll jump all over me if I try to practice out there.
In the past, we played tennis, badminton, and a game where we have to kick a ball over a short net. Right now, we are doing gymnastics. It's kind of hard because we are doing forward and backward somersaults, and cartwheels. It's getting even more difficult everyday. It's fun, but when I woke up this morning, my back and neck really hurt. Well, at least the floor is padded. I'm getting better and I moved onto the second level. I don't know how I'm doing on the cart wheel part because I don't get much feedback.

We just finished gymnastics. We are starting a new segment with another class. We are going to learn how to dance. I don't think it will be a problem, because I have been dancing since I was 5. I'm a little nervous because we have to dance with a person of opposite gender. I really don't want to do that because I'm not used to doing that kind of stuff. I'm very shy when it comes to meeting new people. I like making new friends at all, but breaking the ice is a little nerve-racking. Some of the styles of dance are a little exotic.

Time has gotten away from me....
Mrs. Pope hasn't been here since winter vacation. She has had two substitutes since then - Mr. Knight and Mrs. Moon. Mr. Knight was AWESOME!! Our current substitute is Mr. Moon. She likes me. I have her for Pre-Algebra, also. She always calls on me, and I turn to her when something is wrong. She lets me stay in at break to work or just sit in there with my friends. Mrs. Pope is expected to be back next year. We just got done doing scooter-soccer. Sounds weird, right? It was so fun! I wish I could have participated more, but all the people on my team hated me. It was fun when I got a chance.
Now, we're doing mushball. Our team failed epically. Not just failed, WE FAILED EPICALLY!!
