Make a Space Mouse

Today after school, I was making some balloon mice when my dad came home. He thought it would be a great idea to share this video with other kids and people on the Internet, in case you might want to learn how to make Space Mice too.

If you do make your own Space Mice, please take photos or video and share your work back with me on my blog, or if you decide to change the project a little, you can share your changes too.  Looking forward to seeing what you make.

Report Card

Thank you to all my great teachers for helping me have such a great year at my new school. My mommy and daddy are so proud of me. I had so much fun learning this year and look forward to some time to rest and play, before going going back to school.

Check out this great report all my teachers wrote about my learning:

My Year in K1A

I am so lucky. Not only do my mommy and daddy take great pictures and blog, but so did my teacher this year! Take a look at this amazing slideshow she made of my year!

Lost in Music

I just dressed up today, asked daddy to play some soft music and got lost in dance.

This is my daddy's favorite shot.

Look At Me Appreciating My Teachers!

Our school had Teacher Appreciation Day today, and during the assembly, I performed this great song with the other elementary kids. The theater was FILLED, so I was really brave to be able to do this in front of all of those people! My mom was there, and she was so proud of me (Dad was on a field trip)!

Have a look for yourself:




I hope you like it, I worked really hard!

Sunday Morning Dance Party!

Student Led Conference- The Movie!

A week ago, my mom posted some pictures of my Student Led Conference that we had at school. She also took tons of video, which she then had to go through and edit. Well, she finally had time to put it all together for you all to see!

Here is my Student Led Conference movie, I hope you like it!

I had a great time presenting my work, and my parents had a great time watching me!

My Student Led Conference!

Today I had my Student Led Conference with my mom and dad. They came to my class during their breaks, and sat down with me so that I could show them all about my learning.

First, I got out my art book:

Then I showed how well I know my letters by putting together an alphabet puzzle:

Finally, I took them to my gym and showed them what a good hoola-hooper I am:

My mom and dad were super proud of me. They said that I was confident, spoke very well, and showed them what a good learner I am! I was really happy when they said that.

They took some videos, too, but they said that they need to work on editing them a bit this weekend before they can post them. Something to look forward to!

I Love Mommy!

Sometimes my mom and dad have staff meetings in the morning before school. On these days, I usually sit outside the meeting room and color while I wait for it to end so that my mom can take me to class. This week, I decided to surprise my mom with this picture that I made just for her:

My mom was so happy that she immediately hung it on the wall in her classroom!

Don't worry, I promised my daddy that I would make one for him next time!

Starting 'Em Young!

I have been asking my mom and dad for a long time to let me wash the dishes, because I REALLY want to do it (I must get that from my mom!). Finally, during the past few weeks, they have been letting me help sometimes. Tonight, though, I got to wash all the dishes by myself!

I'm still wearing my face paint from today's activity!

My daddy is excited because soon I'll be able to take over the dishwashing duties, AND because while I was washing the dishes, I was extremely concerned about not wasting water. I am a Green Girl, you know!

Face Painting!

Everyone knows how much I like to have my face painted, so imagine how excited I was when I got to school today and found out that, as part of Arts Week, they were doing face painting for the elementary kids! It totally made my day!

After school, I told my mom to take my picture and put it on my blog so that everyone can see it...

We're not exactly sure what's going on with the Nixon impression...

Then I got a little bit silly...

All in all, a pretty great day in the life of a 4-year-old!

Ballerina Girl

I started taking ballet classes a few months ago, and I love it! This week, I got a new ballerina outfit that makes me feel like a REAL dancer!


There is nothing that I love more than leaping around, practicing my moves!


My mom and dad love it when I show them what I've learned in class, and when I make up my own dance moves!
