I'm a SUPERHERO

I started the night as a normal kid ...

And then the party started!  My family was celebrating the birthdays of Aiden, Rachel, Dad, and Will.  We had a big superhero party!! But for us to become superheroes we had to apply for The Superhero Academy of course. My super hero name was Black Widow. The Superhero Academy accepted our applications and school began. 

The first part of our superhero training was to defuse our balloon bombs by stepping on them. Next we had to knock over the evil villain two liter bottles with a soccer ball.  I managed to defeat two of the villains. 

Then we turned around and there was kryptonite all over the lawn! Using the wooden dowels we had to dispose of the kryptonite into the buckets.  We had to use the dowels so we didn't touch the kryptonite because it is harmful to superheroes.

The next challenge was to test our aim.  We were given silly string to attack the villains (balloons).  We had to run and hit each one of the villains with the string.  We started out pretty good ... but then we ended up in a GIANT silly string fight, which was hilarious!!  

 Next we had to attack the evil Matt by chasing him the trapping him with hula hoops.  No matter what he said or did, we could not let him go.  Matt tricked us by throwing candy.  I totally stopped to fill my pockets with candy, and then continued to chase the villain. 

Finally it came down to the super obstacle course. You had to punch the two punching bags, crawl through the tunnel, slide down the slide the dunk the ball through the hoop. In the end we graduated the Superhero Academy. We had a graduation ceremony and were rewarded with a super cape with our initials on it and a mask with our certificate.   We shook hands with the superheroes who came before us ... or our Dads!  We were officially superheroes!!

Here I am in my cape! 

Here's our Justice League of Superheroes ... with our Dads!!

We celebrated with cake and ice cream. 

Happy Birthday to Aidan, Rachel, And Dad! 

We had a super good time!!

Dance

    

So I changed to a new dance studio .. It is called Dana's School of Dance.  I go two nights a week.  Monday night is jazz and Thursday night is ballet.

My teachers are super cool.  My ballet teacher works with my dad and she is really nice.  My jazz teacher is the same teacher than did my birthday party.  She is funny!

Let's just say is has been kicking my trash for the first couple of weeks. I am so freakin sore .. almost every night I have my mom rub down my back and legs and feet.

First Day of Choir

 

I started choir ... and I LOVE IT!!

 

There are so many kids in there!  4th and 5th graders sing together.  When we were first walking in, Mr. Garza was playing "Soul Sister" and dancing around.  He cracks me up.

 

We are practicing a lot of America songs because our first performance is for Veterans Day.  I am way excited .. they do a ton more performances than my last school.  We get to sing at the Christmas Tree Lighting in Trophy Club and a bunch of places.

Step by Step

On the first day of school, I walked out of my room and saw these AWESOME boots with a note.  They were really cute!!

The note was about taking the school year step by step .. making new friends .. learning .. getting involved in school.  It was kind of to the music of Hercules - I can go the distance!

It was very nice!

First Day of Fifth Grade

First day of school baby!!

I walked in a little nervous .. I said hi to the new girl, but she was way quiet.  I kept trying to make conversation, but she wasn't getting too into that.  Most of the kids were really cool and talked to me.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Also, I sit across from Jake.  His Mom is one of Lex and Rach's favorite teachers at Byron.  He is cool too.

We spent almost the entire day unpacking all of our supplies, setting up folders, and getting ready.  During recess, I hung out with Gracie.  She is the little sister of one of Lex's best friends.  Before school started, Lex and Mackie took me and Gracie bowling.  The playground is really cool.

We had a 5th grade team meeting .. we have those all the time.  The teachers always tell us that all of 5th grade is a team and we have to work together.

We also got to meet the music teacher and the art teacher.  The music teacher is really funny.  We played music games and stuff.  I think I want to do choir again at this school.  He would make it really cool.  The art teacher is nice too.  She is kind of strict.  I think she will be cool too.

Meet the Teacher

I went out to school this morning to meet my teacher ... Her name is Ms. Oglesby.  She seems really nice.  I got to pick which desk I wanted.  I'm right next to another new girl named Grace.

I have a different teacher for math and science.  Her name is Ms. Horne.  She seems really cool.  This is her first year teaching, so she doesn't know anyone either.

I'm excited to start school tomorrow, but a little freaked out too!  I only know one person in the whole school!!  Wish me luck!!
