I’ve never had a teacher ask for a report on what I did during the summer, but one ask for one on anything we wanted, while she was out of the room for half the period.
I wrote my observations on what the kids in the class did while she was gone. The teacher loved it. The kids, not so much.
I also print in block letters I learned in a short course in drafting. I do it because at a young age, my fingers and hand started cramping when trying to write in cursive, which makes it very hard to read.
Looks to me like it was pruned shorter. With a trunk that size, it probably used to be 100 times that large. Someone must have cut it down to nearly nothing last year.
Thanks for another cute Odie comic.
