Hey! I know I haven't been blogging like at all for a really long time. ha ha. So here is another quick update..........
I take tap at River City Dance Academy, I'm a Girl Scout in troop 1469, and I'm in 7th grade at Davis Waldorf School.

So at school we just got out of our Poetry block and we put on a play "Star Cross'd" using parts of Shakespeare's plays and the rest written by the one and only, Dr. Tan, my teacher/dad. It was amazing. I played the amazing, Anne Hathaway. No, not the actor, she is Shakespeare's "lovely" wife. It's at the end of our spring break and we are about to go into our explorers block. It should be pretty cool, my teacher always seems to make learning some what fun. ;)

Sincerely, J

Planting

A few weeks ago, we decided to redo our whole garden for Spring. We all figured out what we were going to plant (including what our neighbor or we are going to plant), where the beds are going to be, and if we are going to plant the by seed, by plant, or by root.

We pulled out everything and chopped them up to put into our compost pile. Ricky, Daddy, and I each took turns roto-tilling the garden plots. I transpanted strawberries (by plant),Wilson planted crenshaw (by seed), and Mommy planted lemon cucumbers (by seed). Here is a song that we learned:

I dig dig dig

And plant some seeds

I rake rake rake

And pull some weeds

I wait and watch

And soon I know

My garden sprouts

And starts to grow

St. Patrick's Day poem

4-leaf clovers

Oh so green

Rare and

Hard to be seen

Green green

Covers the scene

Lovely and

so serene

Las Manos

Each week for homeschooling, we learn a new song in Spanish. We have learned a few songs so far. One of my favorite songs is Las Manos. Las Manos means "the hands" in Spanish.

Here it is in Spanish:

Izquierda, Izquierda

Derecha, Derecha

Delante, Detras

Uno, Dos, Tres

Izquierda, Derecha

Delante, Detras

Encima, Abajo

Delante, Detras

Dentro, Fuera, Arriba

Here it is in English:

Left, Left

Right, Right

Forward, Backward

One, Two, Three

Left, Right

Forward, Backward

Up, Down

Forward, Backward

Inside, Outside, Above

My Instrument

After watching the musical The Music Man, my mom brought out an egg carton, a dishwasher detergent container, and a cereal box. She told us that we can try to think of an instrument to make out of them.

I cut of the top of the egg carton then cut two holes on one side of the bottom of the carton, and one hole on the other side. I decided after that to braid a strap that can tighten and loosen and attach to the holes. I used a broken wood crochet hook that I sanded to rub against the bottom of the egg carton. It made a really cool sound! I need to come up with a name for it...any ideas?
