Hello Readers, At school we watched President Obama's speech on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. He told us that my education is my responsibility. He also told us to not just watch TV all day. If you quit on school you are not just quiting on yourself, you are quiting on your country is what the President said. He wants us to focus on how to get a good education. He is inspiring us to not be afraid to ask questions. He is inspiring us to read a book or pay attention in class. He said there are no excuses for not trying. The President wants us to try hard to succeed in school.

Hello Readers, When I was at the Smithsonian Museum looking at the First Lady dresses, we also looked at the Butterfly exhibit. It was a butterfly exhibit, with real butterflies and real plants. We had to learn the safety rules before we went inside in case a butterfly landed on you. A butterfly landed on my cousin, Carly's pink jacket and she was afraid. I had on a green blouse with butterflies in it, but no butterfly landed on me. They sleep in boxes and the blue butterflies were the male butterflies. http://www.mnh.si.edu/museum/butterfly.html
