Ice Cream Social

So Baskin Robbins sponsored an Ice Cream Social tonight with all the sales benefiting my school. I begged and pleaded, behaved as well as I could, and even ate all my dinner in order for Dad to take me. I was so excited because Mrs. DeMarco said she was going to be scooping ice cream for us. So after dinner, despite the rain, Dad drove me there for fun.
During the trip there, I told Dad that Justin was going to be there. He said it was a three hour event, and he didn't know if Justin would be there the same time we were. Well, guess who the first kid we saw was? Yip, just the cutest boy ever!
Dad says my face lit up when I saw him. We talked and ate ice cream together. Dad and Justin's parents also talked, and guess what? Justin lives within walking distance to me. Just one street up. We are going to start playing together sometimes after school. I am so excited! Today was an awesome day.

Do you know what this means?

Expository text


Hmmmmm....
Are you thinking?
Do I have you stumped?
This is a hard one isn't it?
Still don't know, here's a clue - a type of book.
Are you thinking more?
Thinking?
Well...???







It means non-fiction, something that tells a true story. I learned that in school. I love fancy words like this.

Visit with MomMom

This week was a fun week. MomMom came for a visit. She got here on Sunday and left this morning. We went to Good Egg straight from the airport with her. It's my favorite breakfast place in town. I think it's her's too. Then on Monday we went swimming at Karen's house after school.

Tuesday was a quiet day, but Karen came over for dinner! Wednesday I went shopping with MomMom & Daddy. We went to Chik-fil-A for lunch and then to Home Depot, Target & Toys 'R Us. She bought me a new Lite Bright. It's so awesome!
Thursday I stayed home from school - I didn't feel that good, but I went back to school on Friday. That afternoon I went shopping again, but with Mommy this time. Her and MomMom took us to Target, Toys 'R Us and the mall. MomMom got me another Webkinz. It's the pet of the month and I named her Rainbow.

I had a great visit with MomMom this week. I hope she comes back for Ryan's birthday in December.

Justin

As I was getting off the bus Friday, Mommy asked me if I was sitting with my classmate Liam. I told her I was and that I always sit with him. She then asked me if I was holding his hand and I said "No, he was holding MY hand!". I then told her that I thought Justin was "so stinkin' cute that I could just eat him up" - he's my "boyfriend" after all. Mommy and MomMom laughed really hard when I said that. They thought it was funny that I said something like that.

School Update

Today I got on the "green face". I accidentally colored my calendar blue, but Mrs. DeMarco wrote in that I only got the green. I guess I just used to coloring the blue one. We took school pictures on Thursday. I smiled pretty. I also got to do the play-doh, listening, pocket & shape sorting centers this week. We played on the playground this morning. The principal came and visited our class yesterday too.

That's it.

Latest News

Last Friday, I went to my classmate Bianca's birthday party. It was awesome. They had a huge water slide/pool thing in their backyard that we got to play on. It had one really tall slide that went into a small pool, two spray guns that sprayed water all over in the pool, a ladder you could climb up, a passage hole too. It was so cool. I got Bianca a Hannah Montana microphone that works with any radio, kinda like a karaoke machine. I wanted one. My other classmate Sage was there too.

School news:
Today we started using "centers". One table got to do play-doh, one table made a Mouse Pocket (a hand that is glued to a plate to make a pocket that holds all M words), one table got to listen to a story on headphone and we got to play with shapes. I'm getting the blue-sparklie face a lot. I only have two greens since school started. We are working on counting backwards, writing letters with monkey tails (D' Nealian style), doing lots of reading and doing worksheets. Nothing major going on with my friends. Riding the bus is still a lot of fun. I give high-fives to everyone before getting off after school. My friend Vanessa sat by me on the bus on the way to school, but not on the way home. I sat next to Ryan S..School pictures are Thursday!

On a bad note: I started biting my fingernails. YUKE! I think that's why I have a cough and snot nose. I hope I stop soon - it's kinda gross.
