Uncle Bub's funeral

The trip to Idaho was only about 4 hours long.  We stayed at a hotel that night and went to the swimming pool.  The breakfasts there are amazing!  There are waffles about as big as my head.  They have like everything you can eat.  I had everything except for the bagels.

As soon as we got there, we found Aunt Patty and our cousin Kathy.  In the Eulogy I learned that Uncle Bub had a goat and liked a lot of sports.  He helped everybody when he was alive. 

After that we had lunch at the church.  We had rolls, tater tots, a jello, and chicken.  Afterwards for dessert I had chocolate cake.

The first day of school!!!(5th grade)

I still go to Lakeview. My teacher is Mr.McNeil. I only have 3 of the same people in my class as last year.  We only have 2 recesses this year.  Some of my friends are Wyatt, O'Ryan, Chase, Austin, Tanner, Mason, and James.

Mr. McNeil served in the army for 24 years.  He is really really nice unless somebody does something they're not supposed to.  He gives us 3 chances, then he gives us a talk in the pod (not that I was given that talk).  He has a small library in the class and is very organized. 

We've already changed the organization of the desks a few times because some of the people (not that any of them were me) were talking when they weren't supposed to.  Usually we can at least whisper, but sometimes, not so much.

One of the other teachers is Mrs. Nelson.  She calls her class the Jedi Academy.  It has pictures of Yoda all over.  She teaches history.  We are singing "The 50 Nifty, United States," in her class.  I am doing a Constitutional Convention in her class.  The person I'm learning about is Daniel Jenifer.  The Constitutional Convention is a wax museum.  We each act out a delegate from the Constitutional Convention.  First we act like a statue until somebody presses our button.  Then we start raving on about our person from the Constitutional Convention. 

The other teacher in the 5th grade pod is Mrs. Han.  She teaches character education, PE, Health, and Writer's Workshop. 

Our technology teacher is Mr. Filmore.  We are learning how to type in the computer lab. 

Our music teacher is Mrs. Garner.  We are singing songs about history like "We The People."

Senora Lambson is our teacher for Spanish.  She gave us stamp cards.  There are certain things we can earn stamps with and if our card gets filled we can get a prize.  If everybody gets a filled card, then we can have a pizza party.

The librarian is Mrs. Gonzalez.  She got married last summer.  Her name used to be Mrs. Fife.  She says she'd rather stick with Mrs. Fife because it's getting really confusing.  We are learning about the Dewey Decimal System. 

Mr. McNeil teaches science.  We are doing experiments in the class and we are going to see if dissolved sugar will evaporate with water.  We will weigh sugar first, and then we will weigh sugar and water, subtract what sugar and water is from sugar and let the sugar and water sit for a few days while the water evaporates and see if the sugar evaporates with it.

All of the teachers teach math.  Mrs. Han teaches 4th grade math, Mrs. Nelson teaches 5th grade math, and Mr. McNeil teaches 6th grade math.  I'm in Mr. McNeil's math class.  It's getting harder and harder.

We also saw marmots. They had birds, and cougars there too. We saw palace cats and snow leapords. And jaguars. After that we saw the camels. Then we saw the orangutans and gorillas. After that we got a THREE FOOT GUMMY SNAKE and PIZZAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Independence day

On Independence Day I had pancakes for breakfast and my dad made it so they could be red, white and blue. He got out the raspberries and strawberries, vanilla yogurt, and blueberries. I made my pancake a flag. After that we made Independence Day shirts. It's a tradition of ours. For our lunch we had good ol' PB & J and honey sandwiches.
