Tatum, by Tatum

I am seven years old and am in the first grade. I am a cheerleader at my school. I am friendly, helpful, organized, and nice. I have one dog, one sister, two brothers, four cousins, two grandpas, two grandmas, two great grandmas, one great grandpa (98 years old), two aunts, and two uncles. My favorite thing to do is to sing. My favorite song is "High School Musical 2." My favorite movie is "Alvin & the Chipmunks." I liked it because the three little chipmunks were cute and sang The Christmas Song. My favorite game is "Sorry", favorite food to eat is pizza, favorite thing about school is my teacher because she is my mom. I am moving this summer. I am excited about moving into a new house with a swimming pool. My friends are Emily, Emma, Katie, Lacey, and Jillian. (She dictated this part to me.)

For Christmas I got a CD player, Webkinz penguin, Baby Alive, game boy, and a Disney princess game for the game boy. My Favorite thing about Christmas is Jesus' birthday
and to see my family and presents. (She typed this part herself.)

Tatum is a natural teacher. The fact that she wrote her own post tells you a lot about my baby girl. She is a (I see she erased this part I wrote. Who knows what else she erased. and leader.) Very sweet and giving. She doesn't like to be told no or what to do, however. Nether do I, though. I love having Tatum in my class. She made this lady bug out of a pumpkin. I traced and she painted it. She loves to read. She is one of my top readers. We do a lot of fun things in my class. She is a great artist and loves to color.

Tatum sat on the front row with my friends at the Casting Crowns Concert. She loves to listen to KLOV as much as I do. She knows most of the songs. She loves to play games. She always wins at Sorry and Mancala. She likes Clue Jr., too. She loves to shop and pick out clothes to wear.
