I have been practicing math, I'm good. I do timetables in my head all by myself.

Oh, nothing. I just got my desk at home ready and I got new shoes, which I'm wearing now.

This is my practice week. I have to read from 8-8:30. I set my alarm for 6:45. I also went shopping at the mall. I also bought a school supplies packet from Donlon school.

My mom got me some new clothes. I have been going to a tutor for math and reading. I also have to go to bed at 8.

Amanda Wilson

My mom makes me set my alarm for 6:45 so I have been going to sleep earlier. We also eat lunch on school schedule, too. We have been doing this all week.
