Corny Art

Gramalicia came to my class to teach an art lesson. We all made paintings of flint corn (also known as  calico or indian corn). We are pointing to my corn. I'm so glad Gramalicia was here all week!

Two Immortal Beings!

For Halloween, I was a Goddess at school on Friday. I'm Athena, see my owl?

Then at Stephanie and Christian's house, I was a vampire. See my hip beverage from Bloods R Us?

Pedal Boat Selfie!

I spent the weekend having fun in SF while Mom and Dad were in Seattle. On Sunday, Dee and Martin took me, Max and Emma J. to Stow Lake for a boat ride. I sat in the back for 10 minutes and then Emma and Max wanted to sit in the back instead, so we traded places. 

San Diego Squirrel

Before the Punkin' Pickin' Party, Emma and I found a new home for Mommy's old squirrel friend. So cute!

Jabba the Hutt

Last weekend, I participated in the LEAP Sandcastle Contest at Ocean Beach. My class was matched up with an engineering design company and a construction company. Together, we designed and built this awesome Jabba the Hutt (the contest theme was Sand Cinema). It was really fun, and I got totally wet and dirty!

Camping Adventure

I've been so busy, I forgot to mention the trip we went on a couple weekends ago. A bunch of 4th grade families from Jefferson went to Sugarloaf (near Sonoma) and camped together. Grace and I explored the almost-dry creek bed!

The First Tee

I'm taking golf lessons once a week with my class. Daddy volunteers on our golf field trip days, which is fun. Coach Scott is teaching me putting.

Homework Project

Now that I'm in Ms. Peterson's class, I'm working on some really big projects on my own. This Presidio Brochure includes a nice cover picture and a Presidio history timeline on the front, and information about local plants and a native bird species inside. I did all the research myself, used both typing and cursive, and the cover and bird illustrations are my own original drawings!

Room 205 Camping

Ms. Peterson's class went on a really fun overnight camping trip to Rob Hill in the Presidio. We did several hikes and went birding, too! My favorite part of the trip was the campfire. Ms. Jessamin (our old music teacher) was there, and we all sang campfire songs. 

Escape the Classroom

As a grand finale to my month-long birthday festivities, Mom created an awesome escape room for kids! We played Escape the Classroom at the Palace of Fine Arts, and solved all the puzzles in 40 minutes. I give it an A+!

Stanford Sierra Camp

Nonie and Doc got a cabin at Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe, so we got to visit for the weekend. It was so much fun! Emma and I went crawdad fishing off the boat dock.

Cool Birthday Party

At school, we had a popsicle party for my birthday. The San Francisco weather cooperated with plenty of sunshine. Lime is the best flavor. 

Swinging at the Ranch

Emilia and I went to a BBQ and tour of Stemple Creek Ranch. We got yellow rubber band balloons so we could bop them. 

Garden Day

The weekend before school started, Mom and I volunteered at the Jefferson garden work day. It's a great way to see the other kids and celebrate the end of summer.

Early Birthday

I began celebrating my birthday fortnight at Disneyland with Nonie and Doc. At California Adventure, I got this cute little cake. The syrup piles are Mickeys, too!
