First Day of School - 4th Grade

Today is the first day of school.  I'm in the 4th grade and my teacher's name is Mrs. Strand.  She seems great so far.  She calls us scholars and refers to us as scholars.  It is a technology based class so all our homework and schoolwork uses google classroom.  This is going to be an interesting year because I am in a 4th/5th grade combo class and we are a GATE class.  It's overwhelming to be in class with 5th graders and we have a lot of homework.  Plus I am no longer in class with my best friend Roland.  Recess will be with 4th graders so I will still see Roland, but lunch is with 5th/6th graders so I will not see my old friends.  I'm going to make new friends with the kids in my class.  It will be challenging but I am up for the challenge.  I'm excited for all the fun adventures that will take place this year. 

Aloha from Maui

We went on a BIG family vacation this year.  Mommy and Daddy took us to Maui.  We had to go on an airplane to get there.  It was an amazing place.  We snorkeled, swam, and surfed everyday.  We stayed at a very nice villa that overlooked the ocean and there was a spectacular reef right in front of our hotel.  It was like our personal backyard and the marine life were our pets.  We ate shaved ice almost every day.  We took a couple of day trips around the island and checked out a blow hole, cruised part of Road to Hana, swam in Twin Falls, did some hiking, and explored.  It was such a nice family trip and I hope we get to this every year!

Summer Soccer

We joined i9 sports summer soccer.  I really enjoy playing with my team. We spend most of Saturday at the park.  With each week, I am getting to be a better player.  I even got a medal for sportsmanship.

La Quinta Vacation

It's been a tradition every summer to go to Palm Springs.  The last two years we rented a house in La Quinta.  This year was extra special because Grandma Lucille and Great Grandma Carmen joined us.  We have a nice weekend relaxing and swimming.  I hope this is one tradition that never dies.

 

School's Out for Summer

Today was the last day of school and we had a pool party at Gugga's.  Their backyard is amazing.  We swam and enjoyed some shaved ice.  It was a great kick off to summer vacation.

Last Day of School

Today was the last day of school and 3rd grade is officially behind me.  I had a great year and I really liked having Ms Maguire as a teacher.  I learned a lot and formed some nice friendships.  I'm sad the school year is over but I'm looking forward to the summer.  Lots of fun, adventures, and relaxation.

Family Camp

This weekend was Scouts Family Camp at Irvine Outdoor Education Center.  Daddy, Parker, and me camped and Mommy joined us every day.  She was not into camping.  Although I am not a scout, I participate in all the activities of scouting.  I'm an honorary scout.  Everyday was filled with many fun activities.  Archery, learning about bees in their habitat, hiking, zip lining, swimming, shooting BB guns, performing our skits, campfires, and at the end of it all, Parker ranked up from a Tiger to a Wolf.  It was a great weekend and I cannot wait until next year.
