  • Salt lick Elementary School

    Salt lick Elementary School
    My class was the last kindergarten class that attended salt lick elementary school, this is important to me because this is where i learned the basics of reading and writing and now the school is no longer there.
  • Fairy Tales

    Fairy Tales
    When i was young my mother would read me fairy tales from Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales. This grew my interest for books and reading in the make believe category.
  • Mini and Moo

    Mini and Moo
    The Mini and Moo books were books I used to read when i was young. These books made me laugh and enjoy reading. I would always be excited for my next Trip to the library to get the next book.
  • Harry Potter

    Harry Potter
    My Grandmother bought me and my sister the first harry potter movie. I enjoyed the movie very much to the point it intrigued me to want to read the book. Sadly i have yet to do so. But my mom would read me bits and pieces in our free time.
  • Crossroads Elementary School

    Crossroads Elementary School

  • The Novice

    The Novice
    The Novice i was a book i read last year About a orphan blacksmith named Fletcher who soon comes to realize he is really an apprentice and can summon demons.

    Stock Market game
    Last year in Business Principles we played a stock market game. This game made me want to keep up to date and frequently read the stock news on the yahoo finance website. I was reading on this website everyday.
