For me it has been wonderful! Every year here at J.H. House has been different. But each year is special because we’ll never know what knew surprises we’ll have to face. Also each teacher I’ve had is very special.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffcc; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS""><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My teacher in Kindergarten was Miss Dineen. Kindergarten was a lot of fun. We did so many amazing activities. I loved how we went on field trips and we used to walk into the woods behind our school and look at many wonderful things. Kindergarten was a wonderful year, and I wish I could go back in time and repeat all the fun things I did in Kindergarten.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: aqua; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS""><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My teacher in 1<sup>st</sup> grade was ok. 1<sup>st</sup> grade was the year I finally started taking tests and getting grades.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: lime; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS""><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>2<sup>nd</sup> grade was also a lot of fun. My teacher Mrs. Gerlach did a lot of things teachers don’t normally do. She will always be important to me. Oh and 2<sup>nd</sup> grade is the year we get to learn how to write in cursive.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffff; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS""><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>3<sup>rd</sup> grade was strange. Well, it was strange because we had to write in cursive! I don’t enjoy writing in cursive. At least I made more friends.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffcc; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS""><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In 4<sup>th</sup> grade there were many sad moments. One of them was because our loving teacher Mrs. Barajas had to leave for “family” problems. The second reason was because a great friend of the girls, Jacqueline had to leave to another school. Once again I made many friends.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ff99cc; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS""><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: aqua; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">Ok now I will talk a lot about 5<sup>th</sup> grade. This year has been the best! It has been the most excellent because the 5<sup>th</sup> grade teachers have prepared us all year for The Last Day of School. The Last day of School is very special to me because it is the last day I will probably see J.H.House. I think I will see J.H.House again. I hope so. Well, I hope many 4<sup>th</sup> graders next year realize how important the 5<sup>th</sup> grade teachers are. I know that they are the most special 5<sup>th</sup> grade teachers in the world. That’s why I try very hard to come to school to and see what new activities our teachers have waiting for us. If I pass 5<sup>th</sup> grade, I’ll now I passed because of how wonderful our teachers here at J.H.House teach us.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffff; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">Advice 1-On the 1<sup>st</sup> day of school don’t get worried if people make fun of you or say that they don’t want to be your friends. Because the best friend you can have is YOURSELF!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffcc; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">Advice 2-If you have problems with any subject, and then tell your teacher you don’t understand. Hopefully he/she will try very hard to find your weak areas in any subjects.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: aqua; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">Advice 3-Like I said in Advice 1, don’t worry if people make fun of you. Well, if they keep on bothering you in any way that really disturbs you, then talk to a counselor.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: lime; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">Advice 4- If you can’t make any friends then you should ask a counselor if she/he can help you make friends.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffff; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">Advice 5- REMEMBER that friends are not the only options to make your school year happy!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="COLOR: #ccffcc; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"">If you don’t like my advice, then send me a comment about what you are worried about when you get to 4<sup>th</sup> grade. Did this post make sense?</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> I know that the first post I did,{<a href="http://jhh.blogs.com/graciela/2005/09/my_fantastic_ne.html"><span style="color: #ff66cc;">My Fantastic New Weblog</span></a>} had a lot of mistakes.

You can spot so many errors. Even a two-year-old could locate them.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;">Recreating M First Post</span></strong></p>
<h3 class="entry-header"><p><span style="color: #cc33ff;"><strong></strong></span></p><span style="color: #cc33ff;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;">Hello I'm Graciela, and I started being a web logger in September 1, 2005. I'm really looking forward for this. I've always wanted to be web logger. And know my wish has come true. </span></strong></span></h3>
<div class="entry-content"><div class="entry-body"><p><span style="color: #ff6699;"><strong> I'd like you to know a little bit about my self. First of all I'm a girl, born to two loving parents, Aurora and Francisco. I was born in Los Angeles, California, April 13, 1995. And I have one sister and one brother. My sister, Nancy is 18 years old, she was born in D.F. Mexico, May 7, 1987. And she was brought here when she was 1 year old. And my brother, Victor is 22 years old and he was born in Mexico, November 12, 1983. He was brought her was brought to the U.S. when he was 5 years old. They both Are the best brother and sister anyone would love to have. All though me and my sister do fight a lot. But I'm still glad she is my sister. </strong><strong>I am hoping to make my parents and brother and sister proud of becoming a web logger.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> I have so many hobbies. Like spending time with my cats. I have a lot of cats and they are always having kittens. The first cat I had was black with a white tummy and socks. She has green eyes and we spend "quality" time together. Then I have a gray tabby with black stripes, her name is Brave. And a white tummy with socks. Then I have a cat names Oreo she is black with a white tummy and one white dot on each back foot. Then I have a cat that is so pretty her name is Fluffy. Of course she is fluffy with a lot of cream, brown, and gold colors. Sometimes I call her the "Rainbow Cookie". You might know that the last three cats are sisters. And they are. I love my cats so much. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> Pets. Yes I have had so many pets I've had bunnies, puppies, cats, turtles, guinea pigs. When we came to Georgia from California, we moved to a trailer and while we lived there we had little turtles, no bigger than the palm on your hand. And believe me, sometimes they got really stinky. Then when we moved we let them go, well actually we lest in a pond, near where we live. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> While we were living in our new home, my mom got a job and she had friend that worked with her named Cindy. So Cindy gave us puffy cute little Golden Retriever. But he passed away because he got really sick. When my dad used to tell him to give him his paw, he would put his paw on my dad's palm. that was one of his Tricks. By the way his name was Buddy.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> We also had five bunnies. They were white, and since there are five of us in my family we all had one. Every morning I would give them a carrot and hug them. But they ran away, since then I've always wanted a bunny or bunnies.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> Then I had another dog, his name was Shaggy. He had to "girl" friends. One he was with one of them the other one would get jealous. The dog next to our house was called Jasmine the dog in front of us was called Dolly. He always loved to play. but he went to the dog pound.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6699;"> I've had three Guinea pigs. But believe, its along story. I just love pets. Don't you?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #9900ff;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc33ff;"><strong><span style="color: #ff66cc;"> </span><span style="color: #ff6699;">Which post was better and why? Did I improve or not?</span></strong></span></p>
