A Crazy Morning

Today I had to get up very early to go to a orthodontic appoint. It was a lot of fun.
I can't wait 'till Friday to go horseback riding again. It is always so much fun (even if sometimes I do say otherwise.) to be around animals that are a lot bigger than you.


Ideas for Halloween:
A spooky trail mix with raisins and M&Ms
Dressing your small pups up as garden gnomes
Wearing a sheet and being a mummy
A party with bobbing for "poison" apples
Making hard boiled eggs, raisins, and food coloring into eyeballs


Have a happy Halloween. Have a spook-tacular time.

Saturday the 17th

Hi again.

Today I am listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is one of my favorite shows.

My day will be a lot of reading, writing, and listening to NPR. I would love to grow up and become a radio show host. It would be lots of fun to talk to people all over the United States and maybe the world! The gadgets would also be a lot of fun to use.

My second blog for 10/06/2015

 Here is one of my essays for school that I had to write on one of my first concerts. This is in an essay writing program for Time4Writing.



 It was finally my seventh birthday. I was sitting in my house that was all decorated with brightly colored balloons and streamers waiting for the guests to arrive. Then all of a sudden Mary, Kara, and Stella rang the doorbell. I hopped up to greet them. Behind them was Noonie, Papa, Althea, Lucy, and many other friends and family.

 All of us were huddled in the kitchen hugging and saying hi to one another. Then, children's musicians, Chuck and Mud arrived. We all started walking into the living room to help Chuck and Mud set up their make shift stage.

 When Chuck and Mud were ready, mom said that the concert was about to begin. The music started to play.  The floor was shaking as though a stampede of elephants  was going through the living room. All of us were singing! It was like magic because I've never heard everyone sing together. I was surrounded by friends, it was a dream come true.

 Next, all of us got to try out Chuck and Mud's instruments. I thought that for my first time touching a banjo, I was pretty good. So was everyone else. After, my mom passed out slices if the cake I'd made with Noonie the day before. All of my friends had chocolate cake crumbs on their smiling faces.

 My least favorite part was watching my friends leave the party. There went Althea, Noonie, Papa, and Lucy. I felt alone and I didn't want the party to end. Watching Stella, Mary, and Kara leave was hard, Stella was my best friend ever. I wanted the party to go forever.

Today, I am going to the library and then I will do some writing. That does not include math, science, spelling, handwriting, and reading. We will also go up to the mountain and try to sell my ski stuff. Today will be a lot of fun! I can't wait to ride horses again on Friday. Sorry, I started riding English, so there will not be any pictures of my favorite horse, Gypsy.

        Ahhh. Today I did an hour of math and I played tennis. After tennis, I went for a workout.
I couldn't find any pictures of the Bolton Fair! That is okay.  All of us had a great time.

I have started making my own jewelry! My favorite piece  is an anchor set that includes  a bracelet, necklace, and earrings with anchor beads.

Over & Out,

I just put up a new wallpaper for this blog. it was the most schoolish.

I'm so excited to start a new year

Hi!!
I'm so excited to start the new school year. This year I am studying using Math U See (http://www.mathusee.com)and
Spelling You See(http://spellingyousee.com).
Even though we studied throughout the summer, we are starting our schedule soon.

I am practicing tennis for next year (I will be on a school tennis team), and today I accomplished getting a speedy serve in the court.
Oh, I did a horse show at the Bolton Fair last weekend. I did great. It was too bad that one of the rides  spooked the horses otherwise, we would have taken it on with ease.
I'll put up some pictures once they come into the computer.



Best Wishes,
Zika

Boy, what an awful day today! It won't stop raining. Today is Monday June 15, 2015 and I spent all day with dogs. We just had lunch, and are taking today to relax a bit. Since it is Monday, I don't have any sports todo.

Here I am cantering on Dixie on Friday June 12, 2015.

Sunday June 14, 2015

Good morning. Today is Sunday June 14, 2015. I will be at a pool party today, so I can't write again until later today. One great book to read is willow and Twig by Jean Little. That is my favorite book. Do you like my recycling background?
Write back soon. Zika

Horseback riding

I went riding yesterday ( Friday), and my mom took some pictures of the riding. First, I would like you to know that I am riding a horse named Dixie. The helmet that I'm wearing in the pictures is new. Write back soon. ZIKA

Good morning. I  have started to edit my dog report. It is a big day for me today.

Here is my list of things that I'm doing today:

•  First, I'll do schoolwork

• Then, I'll go out for frozen yogurt 

• Last, is horseback riding.                                     Zika

Hello again. It's getting late and I hope to write tomorrow because I'll have more pictures of horseback riding tomorrow and I hope that you'll come back to my blog tomorrow for another update. I had a great time at tennis today.

Wow what a great tennis player.

Here I am playing tennis on Tuesday. Look at that footwork! Well, write back later.

Dog Report

Hi! It has been a while. I just got my dog report  finished and I am going for a tennis lesson tonight. My mother said that it was 7th grade length and she was impressed. I went swimming yesterday and  I worked on end of the year reports. http://www.akc.org is the website where I studied about dogs.
2 facts about German Shepherds:
-The German Shepherd and Cavalier have the same temperament
-German Shepherd's are AKC's second best recognized dog

My horse experience

Second thing that I did that was fun is that I went horseback riding. After we did that I got to hold the lead rope. The horse's name is Sage. I stood up like last time. Hope to write back later today or tonight.

A School day

Hi, today is June 05, 2015. We started out with Language Arts, then Howard Zinn's A Young People's History of the United States. Then, we went to Dean Park so I could play tennis against the wall. After, we played in the park for a little bit. We just had lunch, then we are going to go horseback riding. I'll write back soon.

Here I am playing tennis against the wall.

Yesterday I went swimming and diving at the Y.
I am working on a dog report for the end of the school year.

This is a great website for learning about dogs. I learned about dogs  already knew a lot about.
Did you know that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels  are a lot like German Shepard Dogs.

Take a look at these cute dogs.
