Easter fun!

Happy Easter! I loved my Easter baskets this year. My sister and I got a giant bubble wand, lots of Frozen storybooks, the Frozen movie, a science experiment book, cool new socks, a circuit building toy called Snaptricity, and scooters. And lots of candy. My mom also told me I've raised $150 with my fundraiser so far!

Music and the Arts

I love music and art. I'm learning a lot and they're the most fun subjects except science. On piano I'm learning When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. It's my choir director's favorite hymn and we learned to sing it Monday. On the Irish penny whistle I'm learning Amazing Grace. For art I like to draw pictures and make projects for my World Vision fundraiser. I'm also going to be in a dance recital. I'll do tap and ballet. We call the ballet song the Angel Song.

More For Girls' Education!

I made this necklace for my mom's aunt. My mom's cousin liked the idea so much she wants me to make a bracelet, so that's what I'll be doing next! Remember, if you want to support me, click above to see some things I could make for you.

I got to spend two days at my Oma and Opa's house without my parents or sister. It was a lot of fun. We also saw my great-grandma last weekend. So I've had a lot of days off of school in the past week! I'll be posting more school projects this week.

Weather fun!

This is a science experiment I did this week. I put warm water and cold water in different cups and put the yellow water on top of the clear water. Can you tell which is warm by looking?

Warm water always wants to go up and the cold water wants to stay down so it doesn't mix. So the yellow water is warm and stays on top.

This is like weather. Warm air wants to go up and cold air wants to stay down. When the warm air cools it goes down and the cold air goes up and creates wind. Sometimes warm air gets trapped under cold air. They push each other and start spinning and that makes a tornado.

Great news!

On my spelling test today, I only got three words wrong. I hung on my mom and started laughing because I got lots of brand-new words right.

On February 6th, I lost my tooth eating my green beans. I noticed it clacking against my other teeth. So I spit the green beans out and found my tooth. It was my third tooth.

I got a new order for my World Vision project. I'll put a picture up when I'm done.

Electricity!

We've been learning about electricity this week. First I learned electrical safety with a friend. You can't touch water that has a wire in it that's plugged in. You need to go around puddles with power lines in them. And if you're in a boat in the sea, and there's a storm coming, you have to drive it to shore.

Then we learned about static electricity. Dry weather makes more static. Static can make your hair stand up or a balloon stick to the fridge or wall. But it makes two balloons repel each other because their charge is the same and like charges push each other away.

World Vision Update

I made a sale! One of my mom's co-workers ordered these boxes for her daughters. I think she'll be happy with how they turned out.

Remember, if you order something from me, you'll help girls around the world go to school. Or if you see something you like you can let me know. I don't have prices - you can pay what you want to help sponsor.
