Progress Report

Well today we got our progress report. I am proud to say that I did not get anything lower than an A.No A-'s or B's,C's,D's,or F's. All A's and A+'s!! I am really proud of myself!! I don't mean to brag I'm just saying.


We have no school on Friday!!! I'm really happy although I don't think I'm doing anything special. Did you know that Inkheart is out in theatre now? I really want to see it!! My friend Emilee went and saw it last weekend and she said it was really good! So what have you guys been up to?

Maya

In school I'm learning about the Mayans. I have to do a big project on "A day in the life of a...." and I'm doing a Mayan Warrior. We had the choice of doing Aztec,Inca and Maya. Doing this project helped me learn about the cenotes(on the sidebar of my blog). I really really really want to go to the Yucatan Peninsula and see the Mayan ruins.

I think it would be really cool to climb to the top of one of these buildings and look out around myself. So all I have to do now is make a bunch of money and then my mom will take me. That might take a while.=)

Books I Have Been Reading

Lately I have been reading the Fablehaven books. So far there are 3 books and the fourth book comes out in March 24 and its called Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary. Basically I can't wait!!! Once it comes out I am going to have to get it right away because it is killing me! Right now I'm rereading the series to get ready when it comes out even though it doesn't come out for a while. I'm on the 3rd book right now. have any of you ever heard of or read the Fablehaven series?

What the books are about is Kendra and Seth Sorenson go to their Grandparents house while their parents go on a cruise. The property that their Grandparents live on is actually a magical preserve with a whole bunch of good and bad creatures.In the books bad things happen with magical creatures and Kendra and Seth help their grandparents fix things.

I may not have made it sound very good but they are so good! My whole family(except my dad) really liked them.

I'm also reading the 7th book of the Charlie Bone series. It's called Charlie Bone and the Shadow, it's really good!I was surprised that she(Jenny Nimmo) came out with another one! The person who read it before me told me that it sounded like there was going to be another one after this one!

What books have you been reading?

Card Games

On New Years day we went over to the Woodward's house and they taught us a game called The Great Dalmuti and it's really fun!! What you do is you deal out the deck of cards and pair up the cards in your hand highest to lowest. Then someone goes first and they lay down their highest set of cards and then you go around the table and if you have a set of cards lower than that then you lay it down. The thing is if they lay down 3 12's then you have to lay down 3 of something lower than 12. There are 12 12's, 11 11's, 10 10's and so on and so forth in the deck. Why it's called The Great Dalmuti is because whoever gets rid of their cards first become The Great Dalmuti (the king) and whoever gets out 2nd is the Queen, 3rd you are neutral, 4th you're neutral, 5th you are lower pion(I don't know how you spell it. It's pronounced pee-on), and 6th you are the greater pion. But the placement all depends on how many people are playing. Everybody is neutral except the two pion's and the Dalmuti and the Queen. Does that make sense to anyone but me?

Then yesterday we played Canasta. I had never played it before and for a first timer I think I did pretty good! It was really fun and I can't wait till we play it again! I was really excited because every round except for one I got at least one Bonus! Have you played Canasta before?
