The Plan
Everyone seems excited, but I’m not so sure. They say we’re going all the way across the country, but I don’t even like going on field trips with my class. Only a week…but that seems so long. Even a day seems long when it’s a Monday and we have to do reading, math, spelling and social studies all before recess! I have to pack my bags, one to put my clothes in and another my mom called a “carry-on” to give me something to do on the plane. I already put most of my stuff in the boring bag like my clothes and toothbrush, but my carry-on needs a little more thought. I know I’ll take Happy Clown in there because I would never let him out of my sight to get lost in a big airport….Maybe I’ll take a book too in case I get bored. And my new sketch pad and pencils! Then I can draw anything I want! Still not so sure about leaving my friends, my room, my house, and Kurly my dog for a whole long week, but maybe it won’t be so bad after all….
