Anne's Voice
Dear Diary,
Today is Friday. It was a good day. Mom made my favorite pancakes for breakfast. I got to sit by my best friend on the bus. School was fun. I did not miss any words on my spelling test. I learned how to multiply. We had pizza for lunch. I played kickball at recess. Noah brought birthday treats. Mrs. Williams told us that we would be going on a surprise field trip tomorrow. I can't wait. When I got home, Mom was waiting with fresh baked cookies. Lori is going to sleep over tonight. We can stay up as late as we want. What a great day!
More later,
Molly
