Summer Birthdays

Lots of kids have summer birthdays, and let me tell you, that is the way to spend your birthday, but lots of kids have in-school celebrations. Usually on a birthday during the school year, the birthday kid has some kind of special treatment. Kids that have summer birthdays don't usually get any of that. Teachers that do something for kids that have summer birthdays, usually at the beginning or end of the school year, have the right idea. Although, many teachers don't do that, so some kids end up getting special treatment. I think that kids should bring in donuts or something on their birthday and leave it be. That way, everything is fair. I know that some things never change, but I'm still allowed to say the things I think should be said.

Back to School

It is almost time to go back to school! Make sure you've got all your pencils sharpened and summer reading done! We all know that going back to school can be a challenge. Getting up early, doing homework, finding your classes, but going back to school can be easy! A few days before school starts, you should practice getting up early so it's easier when you actually have to do it. If you have a locker when you go back to school, remember to bring a paper with all of your info on it, and a copy of it in case you lose the first. All teachers cut you some slack if you're late the first week, but try to be on time, because eventually they will start yelling at you for it. Even though you know you have the entire year ahead of you, the first day of school is very important. It is a chance to make a first impression. Wear a special back to school outfit, and try to be extra polite and respectful to teachers. If a teacher doesn't like you on the first day of school, chances are, they never will.
