I got to see Catching Fire!

On Friday, when I got home from school, My mom told me that Dad, mom, and I would be seeing Catching Fire, The second movie in the Hunger Games Trilogy, in theaters that night. I got really excited, because I had been waiting to see it forever. We went that night, and ate dinner before. There was a full house, so we got tickets early so it didn't sell out. The movie was long, but I loved it and my parents and I were discussing the ending after the movie. I had read this book, and I'm excited to read Mockingjay!

Birthday Party!

This Sunday, I got to go to my first birthday party in New York so far. I could've gone to Chicago, but I was already doing this and I didn't want to let her down. All of the five fifth grade girls were there, and we all had fun and danced. We also decorated hats and did our nails, so today we all wore our hats to school. I put a giant eye on mine, and When I wore It backwards it looked like I had an eye on the back of my head! I had a fun time, and I was glad I was with a friend.

Simple Machines Field Trip

Today, in the morning, the 4th and 5th grade went to a museum to learn about simple machines. In class, we are learning about levers, inclined planes, wheels and axles, and pulleys. First, we did some experiments with pulleys and and inclined planes, and then we got to walk around the sight and look at simple machines that were actually used in the olden days by the family who lived there. It was really fun, and a great learning experience for me!

Halloween

Yesterday, as you might know, was Halloween. I went as a drag queen, and I walked around a lot. My sister walked around with me, and it was really fun. I also had a school play. I sang a song, and had a part in the play. I even got to talk to the audience! We got little packs of candy corn at school, and I got MUCH more candy while trick or treating. I was really tired after eating so much candy, and I went to sleep from a wild sugar crash. But I had a great time and hope you did too.
