Mi Maestra

A mi me gusta la Señora Márquez por tres razones. La primera razón es porque ella es muy estricta con nosotros. Creo que aprendo más asi porque ella sólo quiere lo mejor de nosotros. También me gusta la Señora Márquez porque ella nos da actividades muy chéveres. Aunque tenemos que trabajar muy fuerte, casi todos los viernes, ella nos tiene algo divertido que hacer, muchas veces, es algo de arte. Por último, me gusta mi maestra porque es muy simpática. Ella siempre nos muestra que nos quiere porque siempre nos dice buenas cosas para hacernos sentir mejor como “¡buen trabajo!”, “¡excelente!” o “¡qué chévere!” Por estas razones, creo que mi profesora es de lo mejor. Tuve mucha suerte de tener a la Señora Márquez como profesora este año. La voy a recordar siempre.

New Car!!!!

We have a new Honda Element and its name is Tangerine Dream. We like it because it is our favorite color and because it has XM. XM stands for something I really don´t know about but it is like a national radio. This car is a supreme dream. You would love it. See you at my next post.

Panamá, Panamá, Panamá

En Panamá hay muchos lugares turísticos. Uno es Panamá, Panamá, que es la capital. Esta ciudad es muy, muy, grande y también tiene un centro comercial que se llama Multicentro. Multicentro tiene todas las cosas que tiene un centro comercial en los Estados Unidos.

También hay un lugar que se llama San Felipe. Este lugar es donde está el casco antiguo. El casco antiguo es el lugar más viejo en la ciudad. Hay casas viejas, el Palacio Presidencial y las calles están hechas de ladrillos. El Paso Esteban Herrera, El Consejo Nacional de Panamá, La Plaza de Francia, Las Bóvedas, el Pueblo Panameño, artesanía, hoteles, la iglesia con el Altar de Oro, loro sin alas, el Palacio Nacional.

Otro es Keruasa. Keruasa es el lugar de mi abuelo, Rolando. El nombre de ese lugar está nombrado por sus

hijos y su nieta, Kelly, Rubén, Aarón y Sabina. El lugar de mi abuelo, está localizado en Los Santos. Keruasa tiene cabañas, mosquitos y una piscina. También tiene un camino a la playa. ¡Es muy divertido!

Otro lugar turístico es DeCameron. Este lugar es visitado por personas de Francia , America del norte y del Sur, Alemania, Colombia y Argentina. Tiene doce piscinas, la playa al lado, ocho restaurantes, establos para caballos. Tres lobbys con boutiques, y muchisísimo más.

Otro lugar turístico es la Zona del Canal. Fui a las Esclusas de Miraflores. ¿Qué piensan cuando escuchen eso? Piensan que es un lugar donde puedes mirar flores, pero no es eso. Las Esclusas Miraflores es un lugar en el Canal de Panamá donde los barcos pueden cruzar de Mar Pacífico al Mar Caríbe o del Mar Caríbe al Mar Pacífico. Las esclusas están hechas de dos cajones grandes donde el agua baja o sube para estar al nivel del barco. En este lugar también hay un museo para ver el pasado, el presente y el futuro del canal.

El sexto lugar donde fui es Boquete. Boquete está localizado en las montañas cerca a la frontera de Costa Rica. Este lugar no es muy grande pero tampoco es muy pequeño, está en el medio. Está hubicado en las partes más altas de Panamá, o sea, en las montañas. El clima allá es muy fresco porque es un pueblo de altura. Mucha gente va a Boquete a buscar un clima fresco porque en la mayoría de Panamá hace mucho calor.

Alan and the Magic Apple

Two years ago, one man called Alan ate a magic apple. But he did not know it was magical. When he took a bite of it out came a genie and said"You have eaten a magic apple. I have come to grant you three wishes. You must choose wisely my friend."

The next day, he said" I wish I had a house to live in. Also that I have a lot of money. I will save the rest." Guess what he did with the money? He bought a Honda. Then he sang the song "Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner...." but he got cut off because he said "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner" and he became one! He turned into an Oscar Meyer Hot Dog and stayed there by his car.

Later that year, Alan, the hot dog was still in that spot. A man named Carl was walking by and walking and walking and he found Alan's car. "What is this car doing here? Oh! A hot dog." He took a bite out of it and 1 minute later, he was one too! A century later, a girl named Sarah found the hot dogs and took a bite and the same thing happened but she turned into a hamburger instead. Other people came by and they turned into fries, chicken nuggets, soda, applesauce, milkshakes and apple turnovers.

And what did they turn into when you put them all together?

A Happy Meal!

*************
Where are these people now? I don't know...they could still be there today!

BinaBubbe Time Part Two

Today we went to breakfast at the hotel. I had a bagel, a croissant, hot chocolate, a banana and we watched television. Afterwards, we went to Point Lobos and we saw the beach and while I was on a rock water splashed all over me!! It was soo cool!!!!

BinaBubbe Time Part One

On Tuesday my bubbe and I went to Monterey! It was a long drive. I was reading while bubbe was driving. Sometimes she would tell me to look up to see the cattle. We also saw the reservoir, eucalyptus trees, artichoke fields, little houses,really green grass and finally the ocean. I was guiding her to see if she was taking the right exit. When we got there we registered into the hotel. When we got settled in, the first thing I did was... swimming!!! The swimming pool goes to nine feet. At first I was scared to go into the deep end but I floated there and it wasn't so bad. There is also a spa and if you turn a dial the hot jets come on. For dinner we went to the Great Wall. It's a Chinese food restaurant. After that we bumped into the Farmers' Market and saw lots of fresh veggies. For desert I had a rootbeer float. It was a great night.



TO BE CONTINIUED

December

I had an excellent Hanukkah. Everyone came, incuding Aaron, Amy, mommy, Ruben, Miriam, Grandmother, Bubbe, and of course me! We ate latkes on my new plate that I made. I put applesauce on my latkes. I got to open some presents. Here is one of my cool presents. It is an iFish. When you plug your iPod into it it dances around to the music and lights up. It is funny! I also got a lot of books and gift certificates to Border's. My Aunt Margie gave me a watch kit with a watchband for every day of the week!

On the 3rd night of Hanukkah, I went with Mommy and my bubbe to shop for people at the Santa Fe House. We bought them some diapers, and toys for their Holiday presents. I also used one of my gift certificates for Border's to buy books for the kids there. The next day we delivered it to someone who took it to the Santa De House.

On Thursday, my Bubbe and I went to San Francisco.

The best part was going to Boudin's and getting a bread bowl and then going to the chocolate store in Ghiradelli Square. I also got to shop and go to the ocean.

On Sunday, Mahima and I went to see the movie Night at the Museum. For me it was my second time because I already saw it with my Bubbe. It was so funny! Then Mahima and her brother Arnav came over and we decorated gingerbread cookies.

Yesterday, my great grandmother came over. We celebrated Christmas with her. I ate potato soup and everyone else ate enchilada soup.

We watched too many slides. Halfway through I went upstairs to my computer because I was getting bored! Then when I was bored of the computer, I went to watch tv!

That is what I did this holiday!

Happy New Year!

My Hanukkah Wish List

Here are some things that I want:

1) The DVD for Molly: An American Girl on the Homefront

2) The DVD for Felicity (She is an American Girl too!)

3) A Border's gift certificate

4) A tv in my room (even though i know I am not going to get it)

5) An i-Cat. This picture is of an i-Cat. With an i-Cat, you can plug your i-Pod into it. They come in different colors. Each color has a different type of music that comes with it for free.

6) Any Nancy Drew kids book

7) Any book from the Weird School Series. (like Mr. Klutz is Nuts!)

8) Even though I know I am not going to get it...The big Samantha doll from the American Girls collection.

p.s. I wrote 8 presents for all 8 days of Hanukkah

Rick Recht came to town!!!

I played on stage with Rick Recht last night. It was EXCELLENT! I got to see my friends there. I went to the concert with my mom, my bubbe and all of my friends from CBS.

I got to play my favorite song, Salaam. The best part of the show was rocking with Rick all night!!! After the show, we got some some songbooks. I am going to try and play them on my violin. The first song I want to learn is Ki Va Moed. I love that song from the kids CD that he made. OH!!!!! I almost forgot! My mommy bought me a T-shirt that said "Rick Recht Band." I got it autographed by 3 different people, Rick Recht, Logan and Dennis. (Logan and Dennis play in the band too!)

This morning on our way to Sunday School we listened to my Bubbe's new Rick Recht CD, Tear Down the Walls. That CD is good too!

Instead of going to Sunday School for class today, we went to the Mudroom and painted plates and other things for Hanukkah. Almost everyone there went to the Rick Recht concert last night, it was cool! I hope that Rick Recht comes back to play again.

También doy gracias por los autores e illustradores porque sin ellos no hubiera libros. Ademas doy gracias por Pricilla Mullins porque ella cocinó el pavo para el primer Día de Accion de Gracias. Estos son algunas cosas de que estoy agradecido.

New Glasses

I got new glasses. They are awesome. I can see, it is a miracle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B.A.M.!

BAM!

BAM is Body and Mind. At my school we have BAM posters all over. We do BAM every day. BAM is going to the track at 7:45 or earlier and running around the track as many times as you can. You can also walk. We do it because the nurse told us to! No, not really, We do it because we want to. We If you exercise in the morning before school, it will help you concentrate. It will also make you healthy.

By the way, the posters say "BAM! Do it for the rest of your life! It helps you be healthier and to concentrate. BAM!"

I do BAM every day because my mom tells me to. I also do it because it is fun to run with my friends.

Turkey Trot

I am going to be in the Turkey Trot in November. What you have to do is sign up for $11. Then you have to show up on November 18th at Donnelly Park. The kids run in the Children's Stampede. You get a T-shirt for running. I am going to run with my friend Katie. We will practice for it by running at B.A.M. every day at school.

GOBBLE, GOBBLE!

I Got Mail!

When I got to class today there was a letter waiting for me from my principal. She said that I can talk to the WHOLE SCHOOL with my friend Emily. We need to make some posters and practice what we want to say in English and in Spanish. That is COOL DUDE!

A Letter to the Principal

Today I wrote a letter to my principal about the dirty bathrooms at my school. I wrote it all by myself. My grandma help me with most of the spelling. My mom typed it up here for me. Here is my letter:

Dear Mrs. _______,
There is a problem at our school! All three girls' bathrooms are dirty! The toilet paper holder is breaking off the bathroom stall by the cafeteria. There is also graffiti in that bathroon in the last stall. Emily L. and I think that it is too much work for Rick to clean up. (the custodian)
Once I really saw three girls in 4 or 5 grade putting water in their hands and then throwing it all over the bathroom. I think that is not acceptable bajavior. Do you? Emily L and i got the idea of doing this letter because we are learning about sending letters to the mayor. You are a teeny bit like the mayor of the school. Continuing with the problem, will you please fix the toilet paper holder? Our solution is that people need to be CLEANER! Will you please remind the students at morning opening? We will volunteer to do it! Did you know that when Emily was going to the K-3 bathroom it was flooded? That is why we got the idea of doing this letter. Really, it is a lot of work for Rick the Janitor. Will you grant our request?
Hope you approve,
Sabina and Emily L.

P.S. Share this with the school please.
P.S. (again) May I scedual a appontment with you to talk about this?
