Throughout the year you will have several opportunities to use this blog for language arts and social studies assignments. For those of you who don't know what a blog is, well, "blog" is short for "web log." Web is the same as the Internet, and a log is a journal. A web log or blog is a journal that is stored on the web, instead in the top drawer of your night stand or under a pillow on the sofa.

The first time I ever went swimming
The first time I went swimming was one of the best times of my life. We had gone to the Canadian swimming hole. The first time I went in I was so enthusiastic.
I tried to go all the way to the deep end. As I went in I was only walking but I still sank. I was like the titanic as it went to the bottom of the sea, but once my head was submerged I pulled a 360 and got out of there.
Now I was 'only four at the time so I wasn't a very good swimmer but I persevered. I kept on trying and trying, I went back to the shallows and started to do the doggy paddle. After about 1 hr. I was able to swim slowly but I was getting good.
After that I went into the hot tub for a while to warm up. When I was done I went back to the pool and jumped in with out realizing what I had done.
I knew the water would be cold if I had got out to use the hot tub to get warm but that didn't stop me I went right back in. I sank to the bottom and the sock of the cold water pierced my body like a bullet through butter. It felt so cold it was like I was in the middle of the arctic without an warm cloths to protect my freezing body. I was on the bottom of the floor for what seamed like an eternity but in retrospect it was only about 10 sec then I pushed off the floor like a rocket and soared to the top of the water. Then I held my breath so I could stay afloat and slowly but surly swam back to the shallow end.
When I was done I told my mom to sign me up for swimming lessons. And she did. I learned how to swim so it all worked out. And once they brought a canoe into the pool; but thats a whole other story.
