My play

May 28th, 2008

My class did a play.  I played Mother Goose.  We practiced and practiced.  I shared a part with my friend named Amina.  I was nervous.  My friend Silver played Little Boy Blue.  My friend Maya played Little Bo Peep.

The parents came to see the play today.  After the play, there was snacks and a slideshow of the year. Then we went to recess. After recess, we got on a bus to go to my friend’s named Ayah’s house. It was very big. When we were done swimming, we watched a movie.  The first thing we did was paint a banner with water-colored ice cubes. My mom came to the party and she helped.   

My favorite part about the party was jumping into the pool with a blow-up tube.  The boys and girls went at different times.

Another poem by Evie

May 4th, 2008

Run, run, Maya
Run, run, Tara
The gingerbread man is getting away.

“Hee, hee, you can’t catch me!”
Oh, yes we can.
Snap!
We caught him.

Shape sorting

April 13th, 2008

Today we sorted with some squares. The idea was to guess the right guess of how many squares it would take to fill in the graph. Most were fives and fours. Then we got to play with them.

I got all of them right. They were all different colors.

A short poem about the zoo

April 8th, 2008

I said to my shoe,
“This must be the zoo.”
My shoe said to me,
“What will you do?”

I said, “I will see
An animal or three
And the lion will play
And get taken away.

And I’ll have a ‘tail’ to tell.”

The mini-farm

March 8th, 2008

I went to my friend’s house. She lives by the pyramids.  At her house, I got to see horses and a donkey. I got to ride them. 

Also, I got to see their dogs and cats. The littlest was Zoro — he is a dog and he is very cute.  I really liked Zoro.

Also, there was a baby horse and I got to see it.  The baby horse’s name is Fairy. 

And, my friend has a golden microphone and a piano. I got to use both. I brought donuts there and we got to eat them. And they had spaghetti and french fries and guess what?  The donkey’s name is Bart — he is black.  Fairy is brown and white. Her mom is a very mean horse named Cleopatra.  She is mean because she wants to protect her baby. 

My friend is very nice. In her garden, that is where the stables are. 

We went swimming in her pool.  I was the third person to jump in the pool. It was very cold - it was, in fact, colder than snow. 

After we rode Bart one last time, we went home. That’s all.  Thank you, Goodbye!

My life

January 16th, 2008

Hi, my name is Evie.  I am six years old (Boo, ha — that’s a joke!)

My first day of school after vacation: In the morning, it was so hard to get up, my mommy made me cry. Because, I was so tired!

(By the way, how was your vacation?)

At school: I said hi to my teachers, and then I put my stuff away and put my folder in the basket. Then I went outside to play. And then the whistle blew. We lined up. I was line leader that day. That means, I got to lead the line. You have fun being line leader; everybody loves it.

At school, I did calendar. ok ok, I’ll talk about today. After school, I had a playdate with my friend Maya. Yesterday I went to Irish dancing!

Well, that’s all I wanted to tell you today, folks.  Goodbye!

What I am going to do in America

December 29th, 2007

I am  going skating. What are you doing?

I am going to see the Wizards.  My dad is not coming to America because he has to work.  I am going to miss the cats.

I am excited to see John and all my other cousins, except I am not going to see Katy and James. Katy is one of my little cousins and so is James — he is a new born baby. But I hope that I can see Calvin’s Christmas Tree.

My family

December 25th, 2007

I love you, everybody.

I got a toy lamb for Christmas. My favorite present was a Little Kinz. 

My Christmas tree is bending because the branches are sticking out. There are pretty ornaments on it.

I am spending Christmas with my grandma and grandpa. I am making a gingerbread chain.
