New Kid

I am a new kid at Ola Elementary. Do you have any new kids at your school? Anyway I transferred from Shadow Butte Elementary. It's a school with 600 kids! At first I was kinda sad, but now not so much. I've made a few friends here and I hope that by the end of the year I will enjoy it.

Getting Ready!

                                                                    
                                
                      How do you get ready for the end of the day? We always get our backpacks and
  lunchboxes. Do you have backpacks and lunchboxes there? Do you ride the bus or walk home?

Sincerely, 
Travis

Wild Fires

  Dear New Zealand, Do you ever have Wild Fires or Forest Fires??? They are pretty common down here during the summer time when the grass is dry. Right now there are big fires,and one is not that far from Ola. The smoke is horrible and our school is not allowed to go outside. There are a lot of things that cause fires but the main thing is lightning and fireworks. We have big airplanes that drop slurry on the fires that put the fires out, but they are hard to control. We have a assistant fire department in Ola with big military style trucks, and two little fire trucks. Our family has made a plan of what to do if there is a fire. We would set all the sprinklers and turn on the wheel line. We would let the horses and cows out. 

The Falls

Yesterday I climbed down a tiny waterfall. Do you have any waterfalls where you live? We swim at the falls a lot. How many languages can you speak? I can only speak one.  -Olivia

Hello,
How was your winter? We just got out of summer. I stayed home for most
of the summer but, then I went to Utah twice  and Widbey Island. 
  Right now we have a bunch of coyotes trying to eat our animals but my dogs keep them out of our yard. Do you have coyotes there? We have bears and rattlesnakes too, but my dogs chase the bears away and my dad kills every rattlesnake he can find.  Do you have rattlesnakes and bears too? What's the most dangerous animal where you live?
  There are  big fires in Idaho and there is so much smoke that we can't go outside for too long.

Allie

Hi, my name is Allie. This summer I went to Disney Land. What are you going to do during the summer? Now I am back in school. We do a lot of fun things in my school. What do you do in your school?

Hi New Zealand

Hi New Zealand.
 I would like to know how big is your school?
My town is very small.  How big is yours?
