Karate Test

Today we're going to have a karate test. It is going to be easy. I know all the moves: star block, all the types of kicks, checking the storm, and the sparring combinations. I like karate because it helps make me safer. I learn the moves, but I also learn safety topics like ice safety, water safety, car safety, and awareness.

Community Showcase!

We went to a community showcase at the high school where Papa went. We saw lots of his marching band trophies, played a fun matching card game, built a bird house, broke boards with our feet, and used iron filings to dust for our fingerprints. The police man told us that no two fingerprints are exactly alike, even on twins! That's why they can be used for identification.

Free Cone Day!

Free Cone Day was Monday. We went to Dairy Queen for a free cone. I got mine in a cone but my sister had hers in a cup. We went with friends, and one of them got a cup, one got a cone, and one got a cup with a cone on top! We didn't eat outside because it started to rain a little bit. My friend and I did not like that so we stayed under the roof until it started blowing in. Then we ran to the car like we were about to get drenched, even though it wasn't really raining hard.

Oma & Opa!

My parents told us we get to go to Oma & Opa's today! I'm very excited. We'll celebrate pi with them. Pi is when you measure around a circle (circumference) and divide it by the part across the circle (diameter). I learned that from reading a book, about Sir Cumference. I have six books about Sir Cumference and they're all about math. My daddy tells me to stop reading and get so smart, but I think he's just kidding. I hope he is. I want to be really smart!

Magic Show!

I loved the magic show. It was funny because he pretended that tricks were so fast he was watching and he didn't know what was going to happen. When he tried to put a hot dog in the hat more hot dogs kept popping up - two, then three, then four......until he had a dozen hot dogs! Then after that they turned into a long string of hot dogs. It made me hungry. I want to learn how to do some magic tricks. We should go to the library and get a book for that!

Ice Skating!

I like ice skating lessons. It is fun and athletic. I get to go twice a week - Tuesday night and Thursday mornings. That means I have two PEs on Tuesday because I get PE at school, and three on Thursday because I have PE at school and karate at night. Sometimes I'm really active at home for extra PE too.

There will be an ice show at the end of April. Rehearsals start next week. I loved the ice show last year because I got to show off my class's ice moves and my mom and dad both shone a pink light on me when I did my trick. They do the spotlights. I think I'll get to do a better trick this year because I am in Alpha.

Fun Weekend Ahead!

I got invited to a birthday party on Saturday. I hope it will be lots of fun. I can't wait to go! Afterwards we're coming back to my school to watch an illusionist perform at an auction to raise money for my school. On Sunday I have another birthday party and I'll be singing in church! It will be a fun weekend.
