TODAY'S TOPIC: August is National Salad Month. What kind of salad would you make?
In my salad, I will put egg, macaroni, tomatoes, steak, broccoli and pickles. I will not forget ranch on my salad because ranch is my favorite dressing. I will also put on cheese because it is also my favorite.

In my perfect salad, I would have chicken, meat, broccoli and chili. I would like vegetables like onions, tomatoes and two slices of potatoes. It would also taste good with Cheetos, peas, celery and ham. I would enjoy a perfect salad.

Hey, Moms and Dads! Keep those letters coming! The kids are out of school for the summer, but that doesn't mean their brains have to go on vacation, too. Encourage your children to keep up their reading and writing by keeping up with our weekly questions throughout the summer. We like hearing their thoughts - serious, insightful or amusing.
