Beth's School Article: "Home From Russia"

How many 'Reports' have been written about "What I did over the summer"? Beth's class had to be news reporters and interview themselves and some of their classmates about what happened over the summer and what they think about it now. Then they each wrote a newsletter with multiple articals about the different classmates. Here is Beth's article about her own summer "highlight". As first published in "Beth's Bit O' News"


Hi again! This is Beth again.In school, I had to write a reaport for a Tech Ed newsletter. Mom said I should put it on the blog, so, here it is!

“Their names are Kim and Peter…” OK, picture this; you are sitting on your grandma’s couch in Alabama. Your mom and dad are positively EXHAUSTED. Two hours ago they got off a plane from Russia after being on it for 11 hours! Then they had to drive to Grandma and Grandpa’s house from Atlanta, Georgia. We have been waiting for this not only the week they were in Russia, but for over a year-and-a-half! My family is adopting two children from Russia. But now they are more than just my brother and sister. They are Kim and Peter! And they have faces, ages, and even names! Kim is 10, and Peter is 8. I have a biological brother, who is 8. This is all about a month ago, now fast forward to a month ago. We were all sitting down to dinner when Dad tells us “We have been thinking, and instead of having you spend three weeks with Grandma and Grandpa, we think you two should come with us! You will miss three weeks of school but I think you will really enjoy it.” Then it sinks in… Luke and I are going to Russia!!! Fast forward to now. Here’s what’s happening. Luke just turned 9, all our paperwork is in Russia and we are waiting for our court date. Got to go, Bye!
