Fourth Grade

The Lone Star Girl started fourth grade yesterday. While she is never glad to see summer end, she is optimistic about her year. Her teacher is strict, but nice, she thinks, and there is a new girl in her class. They are already reading How To Eat Fried Worms and Frindle and I think she will enjoy most of the fourth grade reading selections, unlike some past school reading assignments that have deeply bored her. School is often the staging ground for the Lone Star Girl's particular brand of activism. Last school year, she led a revolt when the principal had some stray dogs removed from campus by Animal Control for safety reasons...we'll see what she comes up with this year!
