Jessica says Hola!!

Hi...

My turtle is really, really cute. He has some pretty funny stories too. One was when my mom tried to feed him a snail. I guess when a snail is going to be eaten, it puts out extra slime. So when my turtle tried to eat it, he got slimed and started wiping his face with his "hands" and tonight he was sleeping, and I had to move his tank ---- and when he moved, he yawned and then opened and closed his mouth a few times and was still asleep. He did eat a worm, though. I love him and I am still looking for a name.

San Miguel is really fun. I made two friends and they are really nice. There is only one 4th grade class, and there are only 10 people in it, including me. We have to sing in the morning in Spanish and English, and we exercise everyday. My movement teacher isn't really good at English so she says "Fall the leaves, die the flowers" instead of "the leaves fall and the flowers die". She is ordering us all ballet shoes -- INCLUDING THE BOYS! She didn't even inform our parents (although I told my mom so I would get the right shoe size)

My Spanish teacher is really cool. Her name is Maelle. She has a calico cat. She thought that it would be easier for me if we had a cooking class. We made desserts.

I have to go to bed now. Daddy is away in Colorado, and I have been helping Mommy.

Buenos Noches,
Jessica
