Girls Day Out
Shara and I had a fun day out - first we dropped off the clothes that were in my car for the past month to Salvation Army, then popped into A.C. Moore for some decorating/display needs for July 4th and CupCake Camp. For lunch we tried a new to us sushi place, Asian Ginger. We ate at the sushi bar and had a very nice meal.
Then we saw Epic at Patriot's Place and had an ice cream supper at Dairy Queen - BOGO Blizzard for my birthday. We ended with a trip to the market where Shara drove the cart and then checked us out at the self checkout. Being able to take over the cart and checkout made the trip a bit more enjoyable than normal!

My Memories From 2012/2013
September
In September my class did a lot of amazing things. First my class did checkerboard initials for an art project. Then we saw a Johnny the K production, if we did summer reading. After that we started Type to Learn in the computer lab. At last we did soil experiments. And that is what my class did during September.
October
At school we did a lot in October. We had many perfect papers, and I even won. We even had Mix It Up Day at lunch. For science we did a Can Soil Hold Water experiment. We had a Halloween party! The party was fun, and we even got candy. That is all the fun stuff we did in October.
November
This is the stuff my class did in November. We played the Penguin Grid game, and my team even won. I got Penny. We wrote letters to Farmer Green to persuade him to not eat us for Thanksgiving, because we were turkeys. I even got into the final four, but I did not win. Tyler D. won. We went to the book fair, and even though I didn't get anything, it was still fun. Were not old enough, but we voted on the computers. Now to a really fun thing, the Penguin Playoffs. I played against Dylan, and I won! Then we did the Penguin Playoffs against the teacher, and who ever won got a homework pass. Even though I didn't win it was still fun. That was all the amazing things we did in November.
December
These are the amazing things my class did in December! We all made colorful stockings, and Mr. Harrington hung them on the door. My class earned our 20th sticker on the behavior chart so we got a reward. The reward was a movie with a snack, but we haven't done it yet. We had Backwards Day. I wore my shirt backwards and my pants backwards too. My class did book reports we had a choice of what to do we could choose from diorama, giant postcard, people pop-ups, mobile, or one person show. The book I picked was Junie B. First Grader Jingle Bells Batman Smells P.S. So Does May. We did fable plays. The play I was in was The Lion and the Mouse. There was a lion, a mouse, and three hunters. i was the mouse, Dylan was the lion and Brad, Evan and Sam were the hunters. Most of us went to the Holiday Shop. That was what my class did in December.
January
In January my class did a lot of fun stuff. We got our report, and mine was really good. We also saw these amazing Chinese acrobats. They were so flexible. Most of my class got our recorders. Some of them already had a recorder. All of us made bird posters. We had to look up our birds online. We got pictures of our birds too. The posters looked good. That was what my class did in January.
I did the Science Olympiad in January. For Science Olympiad we got partners, and Amelia was my partner. We did two activities. In one we had to ring a bell using some things that the high school gave us. Oh! I almost forgot to mention some kids from the Oliver Ames high school came to help out. Me and Amelia also made a tower. It was 26 1/2 inches tall! It was really tall. I had a lot of fun doing the Science Olympiad.
February
In February my class did many amazing things. We had a Valentine's Day party, and we each put together a bag or a box with food, candy, and a card to reveal the identity of who put it together. My class read mini books about Franlin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. I learned a lot about those two presidents. We also had the 100th day of school! My class played social studies Jeopardy, but my team got in 3rd place. Those were the awesome things my class did in February.
This will tell you what my class did for Black History Month. We watched two videos. One of them was about Harriet Tubman, and the other was about The Drinking Gourd. We also read a book about The Drinking Gourd. My class read a book about Ellen Craft too. That's what my class did for Black History month.
March
In March my class did many fun and amazing things. We did St. Patrick's Day work. There were a lot of papers, but they were interesting. My class watched the Freedom Trail performers. They did plays about the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere, and the Boston Massacre. We also watched Helen Keller and Annie Oakley videos. I liked the Helen Keller video. My class did reading MCAS tests. I had to do a make up test. Speaking of tests we had our food chains test. Just like I told you my class did a lot of stuff in March.
My favorite thing in March was Kaleidoscope Night. On Kaleidoscope Night there were a lot of activities. One of the activities was a scavenger hunt, another was guess what is in the box. If we found Mr. Harrington we could get points. I got points for finding him. Quiddich was fun, but the mouth guards hurt. I hope you liked hearing about Kaleidoscope Night.
April
You are probably wondering what interesting activities my class did in April. There are a lot of things, but I think I should tell you about the Wartville Wizard. The Wartville Wizard is a book about a man who always cleans up the trash in his town, and then he was able to point at a piece of trash and it would go back to the person who littered.
Time to tell you about Colonial research. Colonial research is when you get together in a group and read a book about a topic. The topic I researched was Colonial houses, and the people in my group were Amelia, Aisha, Maddie, Brad, and Colin. My class had an ice cream party for a reward. There were many toppings, like caramel, hot fudge, sprinkles, whipped cream, and cherries. We did a project called words that can be verbs or nouns. The word that I did was drunk. My class also had to do an illustration to go with the word. We did Mix It Up Day.I didn't sit where I usually sit. I sat at the table near the peanut free table. My class did scrap art pictures. They came out pretty good. A scrap art picture is a picture made from pieces of scrap paper. Mine was a picture of someone reading someone else a story. I called it A Fascinating Story. I hope you liked hearing about the activities and projects my class did in April.
My class went to the science lab to learn about sound. In the science lab we did this thing with a straw, magnet and radio. Where you put a magnet on the table, and there's this wood thing that has wires attached. The wires are attached to a radio. You hold the wood thing in your teeth with the straw on it, and lower it down so it's right above the magnet. Hopefully you'll hear the radio. My class also used pitching forks. Pitching forks are these things that are like forks, but they have 2 prongs. Just bang them against your desk, put them up to your ear and listen. If you bang the pitching forks against your desk, and put them in a bowl of water, then the water will stray everywhere. There was a pole where you put this powdery stuff on your fingers, and rub it on the pole. It will make a high pitched sound. Just to warn you, the sound is loud. At the end we could tell a joke or sing a song into a microphone. The microphone would make our voices sound really weird. Isn't mad science fun?
May
My class did some pretty fun stuff in May. Let's talk about tests. We had two tests in May. One was MCAS and the other was our Sound test. I think I did really good on both of them. My class had a Miss Alliteration pageant. The The girl I did was named Silvia Sihfinia. She got on the top ten finalists list. Some of my class learned lattice multiplication. It's really fun, but it takes a long time. Ah! The Sesselsup came, and now Mr. Harrington has a very small class. Mrs. Powers left too. She went to Hawaii. Now you know why I thought May was a fun month.
Memorial Daby is fun because we get to have a program for it. We got to sing some songs. My class and all of third grade sang the National Anthem, Oh Beautiful, and You're a Grand Old Flag. We watched a video with songs. The video had the songs we sang and more. The really cool thing that happened was some people from the Army came. They were in their uniforms, and holding flags too. Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun!
June
I am going to teach you about the last month of the school year. We had a Miss Alliteration pageant, and my girl won! Her name was Silvia Sinfinia. I found out who my teachers are going to be for 4th grade. They're Mrs. Luke and Mrs. Cunha, but I would be happy with anyone. Even though it was violent we learned about the Revolutionary War, and watched some Liberty Kids videos. My class read Catwings and Catwings Return. They were about cats with wings who used to live in the city, but then move to the woods. That was some things my class did in June, the last month I'm writing about.
My favorite thing we did in June
Field Day. At Field Day I went to different activities with Sydney, Haley and Aisha. I duck taped a head band and Haley gave me a duck taped hair tie. Sydney also gave me a duck taped bracelet! I put on two mustache tatoos, and I got my face painted like a cat with a mustache. For food I had 2 slushes, 1 hamburger, 1 cookie, some chip, and a cup of lemonade. Whoa! That is a lot. After lunch all third grade went on a scavenger hunt. We had to answer questions about the Frothingham Park (which we were at). My friend who is in 4th grade helped us out. Don't you see why I loved Field Day.
Third Grade Memories
I was most proud of... speeding up in math because before now I wasn't really good or fast at it. Now I am very good. (Mr. Harrington hand wrote, "I agree. You made a lot of progress!")
My favorite project this year was... president research.
Something I've gotten better at this year is.. drawing and writing.
Something that was hard to do this year was... keeping up with my work.
Something I will always remember about third grade is... my teachers and friends.
In September my class did a lot of amazing things. First my class did checkerboard initials for an art project. Then we saw a Johnny the K production, if we did summer reading.

Cosmic Birthday
Fun (and easy) 9th birthday today. A local bowling alley does "Cosmic Bowling". It was a nice group of ten girls, most from Shara's class, who came. What a great age - they pretty much took care of themselves. Shara & Keira took the first kid to arrive, up to get shoes. Then as the other kids came, they keep adding the new girl to the pack up to the shoe counter. Alan helped get them set up with the lanes and learn how the scoring worked. After a game we took a break for some pizza, which was order and paid for online, and delivered right to the bowling lanes. Then more playing and two hours goes by really quickly - the one group who got started early finished their first before lunch and then started another after lunch. The other group, which ended up being a little bigger, didn't finish until right before cake. And cake was eaten while Shara opened presents because we had about 20 minutes left before the official end of the party!
The kids were really cute and had fun bowling (a lot of fun bowling), dancing, and really just hanging out with each other. It looked like a good chunk of the time was sitting around the ball return, rolling the balls back and forth to each other.

Shara's Autobiography
My name is Shara. My favorite color is pink. My favorite animal is a cat, but I would like a bunny for a pet. I have two cats for pets. One of their names is Mause and the other is Brutus. Brutus got his name because when he was young he was a brute. My last name is Yabroudy. In Cerean it means from the town of Yabroud. I'm 8 years old, and in 3rd grade. Right now I am in XXXXX's class. I'm also in XXXX. School is almost over, so I am almost 9. It is going to be hard getting used to telling people I am 9 years old. My favorite food is sushi. A lot of people think it is gross, but I don't care. My mom's name is Laurie, and my dad's Alan. Dancing is my hobby. If you didn't now you know a lot of stuff about me.

Touch Tomorrow
This is Shara from last week's recital. They danced to "you got a friend in me". She was great and had a wonderful time.
There were a lot of kids there, several Indian and Asian as well as Middle Eastern. I don't know if whites were in the minority, but there were many accents and languages to be heard.

Dining our for habitat for humanity
Good meal. Shara had saltimbocca. Chicken? Only if you eat any of it. But the mushrooms and prosciutto were great. Alan went fishy with haddock and shrimp and I'm loving their new healthier meals-grilled eggplant Parmesan with roasted veggies.
