Happy march!!! Today is voting day here in Arkansas. I can’t believe it’s only 2 days till I turn 11, the past year has flown by, I got my first pet, had my first pet loss and gotten a new pet. Followed the elections and started 5th grade. I am in pre- point and working towards my goal of point as well as doing 3 and 1/2 hours of dancing a week. juggling school, dance, friends, pets, and moneymaking ideas, oh and that thing called growing up. I have learned a lot and am glad that my family and friends have been here to help me and encourage me to do my best. Thank you so much!!!

In science we read our health book. It was ok, it was about taste buds and saliva. I already knew some of what we learned. The questions were not super hard.

Grammar was pretty easy. All I had to do was match up some attributions with some quotations. It was sort of fun.

GERMAN TRAINS CRASH

On Tuesday two German commuter trains crashed head on. Nine people people died instantly and one more died in a hospital later. Experts still don’t know how it happened with all the security systems. German railway systems are known for being some of the safest in the world. These particular trains were equipped with sonar, sensing all the other trains allowed to be on that track and what direction they are heading. If it realized that it was going to get in a crash, it braked automatically. In this collision that system did not kick in for unknown reasons.

It took hours to rescue all 200 survivors. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so not many people were aboard. This did not stop the engineers from dying.
