Jacob's Recent Letter to Grade 4/5 at CCS

Dear:  Class (and Mr. Buxton and Mrs. MacDonald)
I hope you guys are having fun!  The school here (that we are attending) goes to J.S.S. 2 (grade 8). 
First day of school.
After school most days me and my neighbourhood friends go out looking for lizards in houses that are getting built or not lived in.  We catch and release at least one lizard.
There is peanut butter here but you have to get it in Makeni or Freetown.  Most likely Makeni because it is about a two hour drive.  But Freetown is maybe six-seven hours long. 
We did not bring his shirt from 'cocky' Canada ...
Not as many people come to our house anymore.  But still about five people are here when someone is here.  Well, except for one little kid named Travis.  He comes pretty much the second we come home, and he announces is arrival “ello!  ello!  ELLO!,” its really funny.
Travis.
From: Jacob
P.S. (mostly for Benjamin Mantel)  we see two monkeys twice a day.
P.P.S. I am on page 124 in Jump Math on Feb. 1. How far are you?

  1. Hello Jacob from your Canadian neighbours :) Lizards and monkeys seem like a great way to spend time after school. Lucas and Hanna think you should bring some home too, along with Naomi's bugs! Your little buddy Travis looks like he is a ton of fun too. Thank you for sharing your story.
    Cheers,
    Ariane (and of course ... Lucas and Hanna)
