back to school

all of us happy to go to school

today was our first day of school. it was so fun. my teacher is mrs. dutcher. she's new to our school. adam has mrs. benson. she's also new to our school. makinley has mrs. thiel. she's not new. this year we get to ride the bus to school. but today our mom drove us so she could help us find our classrooms. this year i wanted mrs. jones but she left our school. but my classroom is her old classroom. so sometimes i remember her. but i have three new friends this year. their names are maggie,faith,katie. katie's mom works at our school.so she's kind of lucky. it has been a great school year so far. i'm so happy that my best friend from last year is in my class. but she is in mexico until monday. which kind of sucks because i have no 1 really play with. but i find my other friends. i hope this year is the best year.

THANKYOU EVERYBODY FOR GIVING US A FUN TIME IN UTAH!

fun in the sun

today was fun in the sun it was so fun. first we played shoe find against Mrs. Beaty's class. [my friend Oakley is in that class.] we won! the game is played first you have to take off your shoes and put them in your class's pile of shoes.when everybody's shoes are off you make 2 class lines. you get 2 turns. the first turn is when you run as fast as you can. when you get to your class's pile you find 1 of your shoes. then you have to put it on. then you run back to your class line. when your 2nd turn comes you run even faster than before to the pile of shoes. you find your other shoe, put it on, and run back. we all had our 2 shoes. so we were done before the other class. then we went to A's baseball field to play kickball against Mrs.Paul[the 5th grade.] they won but we had fun. i was the last kicker so i only ran to first base. which i didn't like. but at least i got to pitch. that was fun. everybody had good sportsmanship. which is surprising. because our class normally they really mean about losing.

then we played this cook waitress/waiter game. we played with a rubber chicken.we each had to take turns putting on the only apron we had. then we each took turns running to this plastic tin either putting the chicken in the tin or getting the chicken from the tin. that was awesome.

the next awesome activity was... i don't remember. we played Mrs. Kranjec's class[the other 4th grade class.] but this is how you play it. you have 2 rounds. the first round we won! the second we lost. first you have a cup and a bucket. who ever had the most play fish won. then you had to walk sideways to a little baby pool filled with water. then you fill the cup with water and a play fish. then you walk sideways with the cup on your head. there was a whole on the bottom of the cup. so walking back your head got all wet. the water was cold. the 2nd round we walked forward to the pool then backwards to the bucket.

before lunch we got a cookie, that was the almost greatest part. then we got a break from all activities and we had lunch.

after lunch we played statue of liberty. where we had a cone,ball, and a science book.we had to hold the ball in the cone up high.we had to hold the book at our waist. when we were done with that we played a game where you had a hockey stick and a ball. you had to hit it around a tennis racket. then we played a game where you have the ball in a cone and you have to take it around the tennis racket.

after we went and played a marble/sponge game. first we played the marble game where you had to put marbles in a bucket... with your toes. now that was hard. after we finished that very hard game we played the sponge game. we had to grab a sponge from a baby pool. then we had to pass it over our heads. the last person had to squeeze the sponge into the bucket. we lost both games.

we went to the bounce houses. those were the best part.we did all kinds of tricks. 1 of the times mrs.darden[our teacher] got in. that was funny. first i did a couple front flips then i tried to do a back flip. that didn't turn out so good.but i tried.

after the rock'n bounce houses we went through this thing called the car wash. it had awesome sprinklers. but the water was cold. i was freezing. so was marleah. but it was fun.

THIS DAY WAS ROCK'N!

student award

last night we were so busy. we had to be in a whole lot of places in 1 time. it was almost like a hotel having a bunch of calls for room service. a had a baseball game but my dad said,'' school awards are more important than every day sports.'' that is why we went to the super student award ceremony. i got this really cool metal. it has a bobcat footprint on it. it was made of a gem i think. but it was fun because after every student got there award we got cake. there was vanilla or chocolate. i got chocolate. it was delicious.

a new sleepover friend

one nice February day Marleah and i had a sleepover. we had this awesome sleepover so we could take time to talk about our lives and how they had been before i moved to NV. we also took time away from

our brothers and my sister. although Marleah's brother was there half the time.

therefore when we were at Marleah's house, we did great activities. first when we got there we had lots of great snacks, 1 of them were this banana pudding pie. while eating snacks we took off our shoes, relaxed, and watched Disney. when we were tired of Disney we fed the dogs,the dog food, which smelt kind of weird. after feeding the dogs we went to play on the computer. we played "The Clue Finder."
however we also had a great dinner and fun activities after dinner. for dinner Marleah's mom made great salmon and some yummy rice. then we set up a small tent that we slept in that night. then Marleah's parents cleaned the dogs, after the dogs got out they smelled so good. then Marleah and i did makeovers with her mom's make-up. then we hid under the bed. under the bed we watched movies on their portable TV until we were so tired we had to go to bed.
although the next morning we had a great breakfast . we had some bad news, the dogs chewed up 1 of MY shoes.but before we found that out we were playing video games. we played dirt biking. then the dogs were trying to play with us so we played a dame with them. we hid inside the tent and left the bedroom door open a little crack. they would come in and start jumping on the tent. when we were all dressed Marleah let me borrow her shoes , which is a whole other story,we left for the soccer field.which is another long story.

well i feel like that was the greatest sleepover I've ever had. i hope Marleah had a great time too.

The Fire Drill

Yesterday we were reading the BFG and all of a sudden we heard this drilling sound. our teacher thought that probaly was the Fire Drill. so we lined up in single file line. when we got outside our teacher staerted to call our names and the whole back of the line started talking so we couldn't here our teacher call our names and we didn't respond. also miss. kranchek(i don't know how to spell her name) she yelled at us for no reason.i did not like that. so last recess we spent the whole time on the sqaure. that sucked. after recess we went back to the classroom we started to to do our Nevada books.that took my mind off the fire drill.

gutting pumkins

we had so much fun gutting pumkins! we went to the lattin pumpkin patch, we got to go on the cow train first(that was fun), then we went to see the animals,ford wanted to feed the goats. after all that we went to wait for the hayride and get our pumpkins. when the tractor was there we got on and we went off to get our pumpkins.i got the skinniest pumpkin of all. then we took them home. we let them sit out on the haybell, that we got from the library,until the night before HALLOWEEN. when we brought the pumpkins in we started carving the top so we could gut it.mine had the most gutts,i think.my gutts were cold. after we were done we started carving the face,adam's was the scariest.mine was a ghost, it didn't seem scary but i liked it.makinleydidn't want to gut it. she thought it felt SLIMY. then she started crying.i felt bad.on HALLOWEEN we were going to light them up but we didn't because we didn't want to.we got so much seeds, candy, and gutts injust 2 days. now that is amazing.we wanted to roast my seeds but my dad throhg them away. it sucked.we still had a great time gutting them.
