Christmas Card 2015

Last year, we didn't feel like celebrating very much, so their wasn't a Christmas Card.  This year we decided to do it again with some help from a friend.

My parents and I were sitting around the dining room table throwing out ideas.  I came up with "Hansel & Gretel".  Mom has been reading a lot of fairy-tales to my 3rd grade class for the past couple of months.  We needed a Gretel, so we asked friend and neighbor, Sabrina to play the part.  She was willing and the card was a go!

 We found Sabrina's outfit on Amazon.com, but Mom had to make my lederhosen, which are made out of felt.

We had to take a lot of pictures to get one that worked!

Mom built the house!  Dad brought all the layers into one image and Mom cleaned it up.  Fortunately, we have an idea for next year!

Last Day of School 2015!

On December 18th, my class had a party!  Fancy dress was encouraged.   Not much learning was going on,  Parents came with food and the 6th graders helped to decorate. 

 My teacher, Miss Newby was really happy!

 

 There was a lot of food!  My mom brought allergy free cup cakes for me and two other girls in my class.

 Andy, Mahi, Reese and I wore suits.  Reese and Mahi had ties!

After food, there were crafts!  Seth and I are working on marshmallow snow men.

 We did scratch art over here.

 Ow!  I hit my knee running around the crowded room!

 It was fun, but after two hours, I had had enough partying and socializing, so I read my book!

Mom and I left at 1:15! Which was good.  It gave me time to rest before karate and and evening Christmas Party at Claire's house.

The Lion King

I am helping out in The Bridge School's "The Lion King".  I am playing one of the raffiki's or narrator's of the story. I am doing it, because the director, Andrea asked me to help her out.  She needed more older kids in the production.  Today was the first day that we all practiced on stage.

I'm on the very left side.  I have to sing two songs and help out with the others.

We worked on a lot of the scenes in the first half of the play.  It was long, and at times boring.  Mom tells me that the actual production will go faster and be more fun.
