July 4th

Yesterday I went to the fireworks with a friend. Her name is Sabrina. We went on this thing that was called a bungee jump or something. It was really, really cool. I felt a little nervous on the first one because I wasn’t really used to it, but by the end it was really fun. It’s a trampoline and then you have a harness on and ropes on. They they just bounce you and you go really high up.


The fireworks had to stop because there was a small fire. I liked them before the fire started and they had to call it a night.






Sabrina’s Mom and Dad, my Mom and Dad, and Sabrina and I let their butterflies go. They ordered some caterpillars that then changed into cocoons and then they put them into a tent as they grew into butterflies. When we let them go, I had to go in the tent because one butterfly didn’t want to come out, so I crawled in there and I got the butterfly out.

Deer in our Backyard

We just saw a deer in our backyard. He was just sitting in the shade under our trees by our house. My neighbor’s mom called us and she said, “There is a deer in your backyard!” We would have never seen it if she hadn’t called us. Here are some pictures of him. I think he’s a male deer because he has antlers, not just ears, but antlers behind his ears. Now here are some pictures. I took most of the pictures and my Dad took some, too.

Softball and Lochen

Tonight I had a softball game. My last year’s teacher named Ms. Hanni came to my softball game. Ms. Hanni brought her baby named Lochen and also brought her husband named John. Every time I batted I hit the ball out into the outfield. One time I got a double. When I got to play catcher I got an out by getting the ball and touching home plate.

After the game Ms. Hanni, John and Lochen came over to our house to have a snack and so that I could play with Lochen. I also showed Ms. Hanni and John my robot I made out of a printer and a poster of a rocket landing on Mars that I got for being good at Camp Invention. I made the robot at Camp Invention, too. Lochen played with my gears, my zoo animals, and my drum.

My Teacher Next Year

I know who my teacher is going to be when I am in third grade. It is Ms. Marci. She was my first grade teacher. Third grade is going to be out in the mobiles next year. Ms. Marci is a great teacher. All the teachers are the best.

Rock Star Birthday Party

I went to Grace’s birthday party. We all dressed up like rock stars. At the party I got black nail polish and a dragon tattoo.

Camp Shady Brook Trip

I went to Camp Shady Brook with both second grade crews (Miss Hanni’s and Miss Sarah’s crew), and my Dad did too. In my group there was Elena, Sarah, Grace, Anna, Sophia, Megan and me. My leader was Miss Tricia. We were supposed to sleep in tents but it was going to be too cold outside so we had to sleep in cabins. We got to the camp around 12:00 pm, then we had lunch. After lunch we put our stuff in the cabins and then we went on a hike. The hike that we went on was pretty hard because there were really steep hills. We ate dinner in the dining hall – they made the dinner for us. One of the boys in Miss Sarah’s class had a birthday so he got to kiss the moose. We had a campfire in the lodge and we sang some silly songs. Then we went to bed.

On the second day we got up, had breakfast, then we went on a challenge hike. The weather was kind of weird because it snowed, hailed, rained and was sunny on the challenge hike. In the afternoon of the second day we did rock climbing, a low ropes course, and we had solitude and reflection time. We helped the camp by picking up some wood chips because they were doing some construction there. We tried to help out the camp because the camp had been so nice to us. After we ate dinner we went back to our cabins to get on our warm gear and go to the campfire outside. We sang some more silly songs. One of my favorite songs was Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, and another of my favorite’s was Rock the Boat. Then we went back to our cabins to sleep.

On the third day we went to breakfast, we had a little hike, and then we packed up and went back to school. When we got back to school we had lunch, then we went out for recess, and then did solitude and reflection.
