We are honored to have Clayton as our featured student this week. We hope you enjoy getting to know Clayton a little bit better!
What's a typical day look like for you this summer?
Well, I sleep until 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Get up and eat breakfast, check the garden to see what has grown overnight. We have cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes and basil growing in our garden. I go to the pool. Play with my dogs and take them on walks in the neighborhood. I have been eating lots of good food: fresh vegetables, peach cobbler, ice cream and cheesy noodles, of course. I play until dark then hang out inside reading or watching T.V. Then I go to bed by 10:00 or 10:30 p.m.
Have you been any place special? What was it like?
Yes. I went to the Isle of Palms, to Columbia to visit my Grandparents and to a Pine Tree Farm in Wagner, SC. All of my trips were awesome. I love swimming in the ocean. We went to The Columbia Zoo and saw fireworks at midnight on the Fourth of July. The farm had three ponds we could swim and fish in. I caught a 2 ½ pound bass and we ate it for dinner. We tried to shoot a potato gun, but it wouldn’t work, so we shot off fireworks instead. It was great!
Right before school starts, My Dad and I are taking a trip to California for 10 days. I am most excited about visiting Alcatraz Prison.
What's your favorite summertime activity? What do you love best about the summer?
My favorite summertime activity is definitely going to the pool. I get to hang out with my friends and I like to dive down deep in the water. The best thing about the summer is having no homework.
What good books have you read so far?
I read Medusa Jones early in the summer. My Mom and I read The Dangerous Days of Daniel X. I have also been re-reading some of my favorite books from when I was younger.
Have you picked up any new hobbies this summer?
I have done a little bit of weight lifting while my Mom works out. I like gardening. I love to cook. I created a pasta recipe that I have shared with many of my family members.

Here is a comment for Mr. Brown:
Hey Gresham! Long time. I was thinking about you and checked out your classroom blog. Brilliant! I am stealing (borrowing) this idea from you.
I hope it's going well. Your family is beautiful.
I have a new MAT and she is full of energy, asks great questions, loves kids... she reminds me in some ways of you, old friend.
Do you guys have pen pals? Are you interested? I can take rejection for any reason. Just a thought. Have a wonderful year. Your students are so lucky! (No, he didn't pay me to say that.)
