My Good Friday

Okay, no more funny stuff. I am going to tell you about last Friday. I stayed home because it was Good Friday. I don’t think you got that. We went to Butler’s Orchard. We went for an Easter Egg Hunting. I went to Butler’s Orchard before on a class field trip. I don’t know here it is. I think it is really close to the strawberry pick. But don’t try that direction. I’m only guessing.

Morning
I keep waiting in line. This is taking forever! Finally we are at the front. We got the tickets. Let’s go! Wait. Now let’s go! This is so easy! The eggs are in plain sight! I found three whole baskets of eggs. They have nothing in them. I have to dump them in the hen’s nest to get a goodie bag. Then we went horse back riding. It was bumpy. Can we go to the slides now? Not yet. Now? Sure. I went on the biggest slide three times. I went on the slide with the black tunnel. Wheeeeeeeee~! You need a bag (not a bag that you put your things in) that is on a table near the slides. Like a burlap bag. Let’s get face painting! I got flowers pink and white! All done! Pretty! Kathy and Grace, too! Oops, I forgot. Alex and Grace came too. Alex doesn’t want any face painting. Lunch time! Goodie bags first. I got an apple, stickers, a cookie, a lollipop, and a paper and that’s all. Lunch time! McDonald! A happy meal, please! I got a toy! A bracelet! Home, we go!

At home
Mom says we should go to Chuck E Cheese! Kathy says, “Me too”. Why does Kathy always have to go? Just let her go. Okay. But does Kathy always have to go? Not always. Okay, Alex, your mom will pick you up at Chuck E Cheese. I’ll go straight to art class after we play. Let’s go! Here we are. Mom, I need some tokens. Yay! Let’s play! Some more tokens. Yay! Dad’s here! Alex went home. I’m going to art class! I drew a picture from the book “Possum Magic”. Only that the bike is way too small for the grandma Possum. Then I went home. I ate dinner and took a bath and well, you know what I do every single night. Go to sleep, of course!

My weekend - 3/17/08

Today it's my weekend. I will tell you about my weekend! Whew, a break from book reports. Yay! Okay, let's go on. I think I'll start on Friday. Okay, umm.......... Okay, after school, (I don't want to talk about school coz it will take too long of time), I went to art class. I drew a frog. Then I water colored. Is that fun? Yes!

On Saturday I went to the park. I like the park. Boring... I like the part where I can climb. In the afternoon, I went ice skating. I learned something from a new lesson. It is a T-Stop and a backward stroke. Then I had free and practice time.

On Sunday I got new books. They are Julie books. I went to piano practice. I made mail for Kathy. Then I played piano. I played the new song. I played the left hand. Then I played again. I went home.

I want to ice skate like the kids in the middle of the rink because they were spinning very fast and doing tricks. Kathy doesn't know how to sliiiide. So she steps like marching. I will teach her how to sliiiiide. Later, I will keep learning.

Book Review - Ramona the Pest

3/12/08

Today I am going to write about "Ramona the Pest". Beverly Clearly wrote the book. The book came out in 1968. The book is about everyone calling Ramona a pest. A pest is someone who is annoying. There are 211 pages in the book.

At the beginning, Ramona starts kindergarten. She makes a lot of noise. She was singing a loud song. Later, she brings her doll to show and tell. Her doll’s name is Chevrolet. She named it after a car. I don’t know why she named it after a car, but I think she likes the car. At the end, well not exactly at the end, but later again, Howie gives Ramona the ribbon. Ramona wanted the ribbon because it was tied on her bunny when Howie borrowed it.

My favorite part was when Ramona learned how to print her name. It’s my favorite part because I like it when I printed my name for my school and home work. I also like when Ramona bought her new boots. I don’t know if Ramona is still a pest at the end because the book tells me nothing.

Book Review - Ramona and her Mother

3/5/08

Today I'm going to write about "Ramona and her Mother". Beverly Cleary wrote the book. There are 219 pages. The book is about Ramona's mom and dad had a fight. And about Ramona with her mother lots of times of course. But it's about talking with her mother.

In the beginning, Ramona's family had a party. It is for a New Year's Day. Ramona's mother said, "Ramona give the present you made." Ramona gave the box of tissue to Willa Jean. Willa Jean pulled out the whole box of tissues. Ramona's mother told Ramona to pick up all the tissues after everyone leaves. Later, Beezus cut her hair in a beauty shop. She didn't like her haircut. Later on, Ramona wears her pajamas to the nurse. Ramona didn't tell her mother about that she left her pajamas at school in a paper bag. She had to wear her tight pajamas. At the end, Ramona finally gets to ride the school bus. Ramona waited all summer to ride the bus, and she finally got to. Her mother said "YES!"

I don't have a favorite part. But this is a part I like. I like it when Willa Jean pulled out the whole box of tissues. And when Beevus gets her hair cut. Also when Ramona gets her hair cut. I don't think I like any other parts.

Ramona is with her mother all the time. She always talks with her mother. I think kids 6+ are to read these books. The book only talks about Ramona and her mother. One thing I don't like is when Ramona plans to go away. Her mother made the suitcase too heavy on purpose. So Ramona won't leave. She wanted Ramona to stay.

Book Review - Magic Tree House, Day of the Dragon King

Today I am going to write about the Magic Tree House #14, Day of the Dragon King. Mary Pope Osborn wrote the book. The book was published in 1998. There are 68 pages in the book. The book is about Jack and Annie in China. They have to find a lost book.

At the beginning, Jack and Annie find the tree house. They saw Morgan in the tree house. Later, the magic tree house took them to China. In China they gave the silk weaver a message. The message is about meeting a man at twilight. Later again, they go to the Imperial Library. They see all the book being burned. They find a stack of waiting books and find the book they were looking for.

My favorite part is when Jack and Annie found the book they needed. It's my favorite part because they were just in time to get the book before it was burn. Also I like it when Jack and Annie got the silk ball. It's my other favorite part because I almost can feel the silk ball. It is like I'm right in the story but I don't see things around me. The silk ball was yellow. It is made out of the silkworm cocoons.

I have lots of Magic Tree House books at home. But I don't have all of the books because new books keep coming out. I only have to get a few more books. The book has some old Chinese history parts. The book is not only fun, it alos helps you learn. You can learn a lot from the book about old China. I think most of the kids will like reading Magic Tree House. The Magic Tree House books have a lot of information about many places. Kids will know a lot from reading the books. Their parents will be happy for them.

Book Review - Just In Time

Today I'd going to write about the book Just in Time. Jacqueline A. Ball wrote the book. There are 32 pages in the book. The book is fiction. The book is about Belle and her friend being patient. Chip has to be patient 2 times.

The book is about Chip being patient. Actually everyone has to be patient. This reminds me of when I has to be patient. The whole book is about being patient. But no one was patient when they has to undo the ropes. But all of them were finally patient.

I think the older children should read these kind of books because it teaches them a lot of stuff. It is fun and smart to read. It teaches you about a lot of things. There are 4 books in this package.

All these kind of books are baby books. There are pictures books, but kids will learn to be patient. It is also a fun book for kids 6 and older. You can also read it to younger kids. These kinds of books talk about only one thing in each book. Every book is a princess book. I think girls will love to read them.

Book Review - Secrets of Droon, The Golden Wasp

Today I am going to write about The Secrets of Droon, The Golden Wasp. Tony Abott wrote the book in 2000. That's when I was born. There are 101 pages in the book. The book is about Eric's Dad in the Droon. Also Julie's bracelet is in Droon. But in the book, they got everything back,

The book is about Eric's Dad lost in Droon. And Julie's bracelet is also lost. A moon fox appeared in Eric's house. Now the moon fox eating everything! No, the moon fox is chowing everything. Sparr has all the Kings and Queens of Droon under his spell. Eric's friends finally found Eric's Dad in the dungeon. They tried hard to stop Sparr and they did it.

I think the book is for both boys and girls to read. I'd say the series are for first graders and above, or kids 6 and older. Once you get used to it and it's not too boring. I think the Secrets of Droon books entertain the kids who read them. I think the kids will want to read the Secrets of Droon book all over again.

Some parts of the Secret of Droon are sad. Some parts are scary. And some parts are fun to read. But the whole book is good. Actually all the books are good. But sometimes the books got too boring. So you have to read some other types of books to balance. But the books are really good.

Book Review - Arthur's Eyes

Today I am going to write about Arthur's Eyes. I didn't read it to myself. I read it to Kathy. Marc Brown is the author of the book. There are 28 pages in the book. The book is about Arther getting glasses. He couldn't see very well. Francine is calling him four-eyes.

The book is about Arthur getting glassed because he can't see very well. But when he wears his glasses to school, everyone teases him. Arthur doesn't like it. One day Arthur didn't wear his glasses to school. Now Arthur can't see anything well. He actually went into the girl's restroom.

I thing the kids 5 or under can read Arthur. Of course the older kids can too. But I mean the book was written for kids age 5 or under. Kids age 5 or under can read the books themselves if they can read. If not, other persons can read to them. I read the book to Kathy. Kathy likes Arthur books.

When Kathy is older, I'll teach her how to read. Then she'll love reading like me. Arthur books are fiction. That means not real. Also later I'll teach Kathy what fiction and non-fiction are. I read Kathy a book everyday. I just read it so I can practice my speech. That's what mom said.

January 10, 2008

Today I am going to tell about our trip to New York. It was the weekend of Chinese New Year. At the beginning, it took so long to get to New York. I thought it would take all night to get there. Chinese New Year is like Thanksgiving because all the friends and families get together in both of then. The little kids get red envelops to with money inside because the grown-ups want them to be health and happy in the new year.

On that Friday we went to a big mall in New York We went with Dad's mom. We were in the car for a very long time. But finally we go there. When we got out of the car, I was really cold. Mom said, "if you walk faster, you won't be so cold." I tried to walk faster but sometimes mom was behind and sometimes she was in front. First we went to shop for clothes for Dad's mom. Then we went to eat. After we ate, we shopped for more clothes for Dad.

On Saturday we packed up and got ready to leave. First the families and relatives came. We talked a little. I took a nap with Kathy. When I woke up, I pretended to be asleep. Then mom came in. When we woke up Kathy, she did the same thing as me. Then we went to eat together. In the restaurant, I got more red envelops. After we ate, we went to my Aunt's house. We played hide-and-seek. We had to count to 100.

Next we went to my other Aunt's house for dinner. Kathy and I looked at the fish. I tried to talk to the fish. Kathy also tried to talk to the fish. We went upstairs. I tried to scare Dad, but it didn't actually work. Then we all ate dinner. I only ate a little bit. After we ate, we had oranges. I ate one or two oranges. Then we went home. We got home late.

On Sunday I got my money. Some money got spent. Some went in my account. I used some money to buy fake nails, what I always wanted. All I do is just stick the nails on. and to take it off, just peel it. I like the nails a little longer than my own mails. Now I have nothing to worry about?
