Mrs. Steward’s third grade class has big plans for summer vacation. Some class members will travel to faraway places in the United States and even Europe while others will spend most of their time closer to home, doing fun things with family members.

“I’m going to summer camp in the mountains,” writes Amber Smith. “My sister and brother are going, too. We’re going to sleep in log cabins like Abraham Lincoln.”

Johnny Cooper tells us:

My family is going on a car trip to visit my Grandma in Arizona. We go every summer. It takes a few days to get there and it’s very hot. Last year I went fishing in the pond behind my Grandma’s house. I didn’t catch any fish but I found lots of golf balls. I gave them to my dad for when he goes golfing with his friends.

Some other places Mrs. Stewart’s class members are going to include:

• Nancy Carlson: New York City
• Jimmy Drew and Cindy Olsen: Disneyland
• Billy Jones: The Grand Canyon
• Peggy Ann Williams: England

Mrs. Stewart will put all of the summer vacation essays from her class on the wall in the hallway outside her classroom this week so other students and teachers can read them.
