Happy St. Pat's!

Dear Readers, Happy St. Pat's! Here are some updates:

-School: Lots of events- Jump Rope for Heart, the third grade Marketplace, a new semester, and even a special Social Studies Fair coming up! We have also started a Geometry unit and an Algebra unit (algebra unit in my school's special education program).

-Home: My brothers have taken up a wrestling group called Copperheads. Me and my sister go to my mom's office while they are there.

-The World: We are now Springing Ahead with one hour later! Now I am able to go outside and play at later times, because the Sun stays out later in the day.

That is about all!

THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Hello, readers! Today is Thanksgiving. I am very thankful for all the great things I have recieved and all the fun opportunities I have had. I am also grateful for all whom are grateful towards me.
There are a few updates:
- Our first edition of our school news is released, and I am now working on a persuasive letter to the School Board to change our school's SSA (Standard School Attire).
- Tennis lessons have ended, and now I have more time for the home work on Tuesdays.
- I know I haven't mentioned this before, but my classroom has a system. We have special behavior charts with dimes on them, and mark them out when we have bad behavior. At the end of the week, we get an amount of "money" worth how many dimes are left. My latest update is $132.56.
Thanks for reading!

Super-Duper Busy As a Bee Weekend!!!!!

Hello, readers! I am doing a post about what I am doing lately. This upcoming Sunday is the Pig Roast at our church, and I am busy trying to get a booth! We are hoping to sell merkintwinkles (fortunetellers) and bookmarks themed with the Bible. They both include Bible verses related to the saint(s) pictured. Bookmarks: reminders to look at that particular verse. Fortunetellers: fortunes. It will be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the money raised goes to the church's ministries.
This Friday is also my birthday!! I can't wait!!!

TV and Merkintwinkles (I know they sound like dumb titles)

Hello, readers! I am a fan of Food Network. At our house, it isn't always like "kids vs parents" on TV. All of us pretty much like the shows like Challenge,Unwrapped, Ace of Cakes, and some others.
Our church's Street Fair is coming up, and I had an idea for a booth: biblical merkintwinkles! Merkintwinkles are the Christian name for fortunetellers (that name isn't used by us because we don't believe in fortunes). Here is a link to some directions:
