Caroline, Be My Valentine ~ #valentines,#valentinesday,#loveletters,#middleschool,#shortstories

Caroline and Trina were exhausted from running laps around the football field.The girls were in 8th grade and were on the junior high girl's track team.Their coach was nice and they thought it would be a lot of fun. It was fun belonging to a team and practice was a lot of work. Caroline was up for the challange because she liked competition and it was good exercise. Caroline said bye to Trina and ran outside to the parking lot where her mom was waiting.She and her mom talked about her learning to drive in a couple of years. Caroline was excited about that.She was always up to learning new things.Caroline asked her mom to stop by the Walgreens to pick up some construction paper.She had a language arts assignment to finish for school. It was a Valentine's Day activity.Mrs. Lane told the class to write a short paragraph about themselves.The writing was suppose to describe themselves to someone who did not know them. The next morning,Caroline woke up and did some yoga stretches before she got ready for school.It seemed to help her sore leg muscles.She had glued her paragraph onto pink construction paper.Caroline put her homework in the Language folder.The paragraph that described her personality was done.She had written that she was friendly,athletic,honest,loved talking/texting on her cellphone,and talked about her collection of key chains. Language class had begun.Caroline walked past Eric to her desk. He smiled at her and she smiled back.(She had a secret crush on Eric) Mrs.Lane asked for the students to take out their homework assignments.Mrs.Lane told them to switch their papers with someone beside them or behind them. Then, she told them to write down 1 nice thing about the person behind paper that they received.This would continue until each student wrote a message on everyone's paper. After everyone finished the task,Caroline was reading the comments on her paper.All of the mesages were kind and she thought it was interesting to see what others thought of her!She began to read what Eric had written, "You have a pretty smile.Can I walk you to gym class sometime? Be My Valentine,Eric." Caroline was smiling and her heart must have skipped a beat!(She did not let Eric know...he was a boy and she wanted to play it cool.) Wow! Caroline slept real good that night and felt a tingle in her heart.She couldn't wait to tell Trina at track practice the next day.It was the best Valentine's Day ever! happy thoughts, Marie Brewer

cutting ~ #booksforgirls,#cutting,#selfmutilation,#tweenblogging,#middleschool,#

Hi girls! Let's talk about cutting.This is not cutting paper,tape,cloth, or a string.This cutting deals with cutting yourself with a sharp instrument.Why would anyone do such a thing? Sometime it is because they fell sad or worthless. It may be because they are having problems with their parents,friends,or issues with school. If you know someone who "cuts", please tell them that there is help out there.There are nurses,counselors,books, and family who can bring them out of the dark and into the light!Tell them to take that step forward! Marie Brewer

nail candy ~ #nailpolish,#nailcandy,#fingernailpolish,#neon,#beautysupplies,,#nailsupplies

Oh, look at these soulful colors!What is your special nail color? yellow, pink, lime green, blue, clear, purple, or glitter? Polish protects your nails so that they don't become weak and brittle.Sometimes weak nails may chip or break...and that can ouch!! Let your sister,cousin, or friend polish your nails for you.Then, you can return the favor~~ If you don't have a nail dryer,fan, or blow dryer ~ put your fingers in the sunlight and wha-la!! They are dry and you are looking pretty. Oh and don't worry about matching the color to your outfit....Use your own unique style!! color your world, Marie Brewer

communicate ~ #communication,#tweens,#tweengirls,#selfesteem

Hi girls! Tell someone how you really feel today! Some examples: ~ if you don't like her shirt, if you are asked you opinion...then say "not so much!" ~ if you don't like pizza and cheeseburgers... then say' "No, thanks!" ~ if your friend has the flu and wants you to come to her house...say "I'm sorry, but something has come up and I can't make it this evening." ~ if you fall down flat on your face at school in front of everybody... say, "Oh, get a grip!If you had an ounce of kindness,you would be helping me pick these books up!" ~ if you want to take karate classes instead of ballet... then tell them! They may understand and agree with you! Tell it!... if you don't, who will? Marie
