Disco Time!

Yay! I finally had my first disco dance lesson today! I have been waiting to start taking dance lessons for ages, and the day I have been waiting for has finally come! I can't wait to take even more lessons. Today at disco, we didn't have Ms. Claire teach us, sadly. Instead, we had somebody else called Ms. Tiffany. She is really nice as well! I hope Ms. Claire will teach sometime though... she was the best dance teacher I've ever had! Ms. Tiffany choreographed a dance for the Charity Bazaar that will happen sometime in October... we only have about a month left to prepare a dance for the bazaar!! Our new dance for the Charity Bazaar is called 'The Boy Does Nothing' by Alesha Dixon, a popular U.K. singer.

Before disco, I had another clarinet group lesson. We learnt new notes on the clarinet, so now the songs we are playing are starting to get more interesting and good since we aren't just playing songs with 3 or 4 notes.

At school today, 4 people in my class was sick!! Sydney, Seon Ha, Grant and Isabelle. And during the middle of the school day, another girl in my class called Melody had to go home because she had a fever, too! I hope everyone gets better soon :D

And a couple hours ago, someone called mommy telling her that school would be cancelled for a week because of H1N1 (swine flu)!!

I was half-expecting that already -- over about 100 people in Primary School got H1N1!

So now I'm making sure I wash my hands very often... making sure to be very hygienic. Hopefully school will start again in one week. Even just a week without school can be quite boring...

First Day of School

Before school started...

I'm so nervous!! Did I do my homework correctly? Was I supposed to color and decorate my homework? What if my teacher doesn't think my homework is neat enough? I don't want to get into trouble on the first day of school!! Is my teacher nice? Will I enjoy my 5th grade year? Who will be in my new class?? Is there anybody I know who is in my class??? Oh, I'm sooooo nervous!! I don't wanna go to school now!!!!

After school...

The first day school today was awesome!!!!!! My 5th grade teacher is soooo, extremely nice! And one of my best friends Alex (Alexandra) is in my class!! So are my friends Seon Ha, Sydney and Isabelle. There are also a lot of new kids in our class and I made friends with all of them.

I was worrying last night about my homework because I had colored and decorated it but I wasn't sure if my teacher would approve of it. But turns out, when I got to school, almost everybody decorated their homework!!

At school today, we worked on a Time Capsule. We filled out a form asking us questions like, What is your favorite color? What is your favorite food? Etc... And then we decorated envelopes and put the forms in the envelopes. Tomorrow we are going to hide the envelopes and leave it there until the last day of school so we can see what we wrote in a year's time!!

My teacher also started a new read aloud book called, The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark. It's really good so far. It's about a few boys who are teenagers, and they get jobs at Disneyland in California. But they don't have normal jobs... they are virtual tour guides! And their virtual self's find themselves at Disneyland after dark.

I can't wait for tomorrow for another day of school and I'm really looking forward to sharing my 5th grade class for a whole year!!!!
