Field Trip

We will go on a field trip next week. It's a pumpkin patch based on colonial days. That is what we are doing for history. Instead of going on the Mayflower there, we will go on the Hayflower (it is made of hay )! I got new glasses yesterday. They have butterflies on them. I love them! Dottie and I can't wait for Halloween! I will be a rockstar!!! Can you guess what Dottie's gonna be? I'll give you a hint: she will wear a pretty dress, and a sash with the name of what she is on it. My mom said we can make Halloween cookies with candy corn! The little pumpkin candy corns are my favs! I get to go get a mani-pedi at my friends b-day! I also will sleepover at her house that night. I'm so excited. Next week we don't have any school, so we can work on everything the whole week. We will try to post some pics!

New Fall!

It's been a while since we got back to you. Polkie and I go to a charter school now. It's pretty fun but it's a lot of work. I have some friends there and I have made some new friends too.
I'm learning Latin, but my favorite subject is Critical Thinking. For a craft we are learning how to quill. Last month we were making clay pots and cups. In the morning we have Character class, then, we have Latin, Science, Language Arts, then Art and then Humanities. I am reading a book called, "The Courage of Sarah Noble". My teachers pick out really good books.

The First Day of School

Today we started school. We have started to read Sign of the Beaver for reading, and I got to have a mini cupcake with a candle in it to blow out and a mini cup of ice cream because today we celebrated all the summer birthdays. And for science in a couple weeks we get to go out and study the moon at night. We have been so busy with getting ready for school and vacations we haven't been able to talk much about what we did this summer. I start horse back riding lessons on Monday next week, I'm working on a "study spot", (picture above) for school this year. The gift bag is for pens and pencils, the cork is for notes, and the envelopes are for putting notes or school cards in. We went camping with our whole family and had my birthday party.

Crocheting

Crocheting is my favorite thing to do now. I've been doing it with my friend. She taught me how to do it today.

This is a bracelet that I made!

YAY!!!! I'm almost done with school! After this week, I will become a 6th grader, and Dottie will become a 3rd grader. I finished my state report and colored in the map. I also labeled the capital, the islands names, the islands nicknames, and mountains. This weekend I'm going to camp and I'm going camping with my cousin for a day on Tuesday and Wednesday.
