Ruby's week and special dates
My name is Ruby and I am 12 years old. I go to school from Monday to Friday. Monday is hard, but I like school. On Wednesday, I play soccer with my friends. Friday is my favorite day because the weekend starts! On the weekend, I rest and watch TV with my family.
Every month is special in my house. We have three big family birthdays this year. My brother has a birthday in March. It is cold then. My mom has a birthday in July. We eat cake outside in the sun.
My birthday is in December. It is the best month for me! I get nice presents from my parents. I love my family and our birthdays!
