Art Class Showcase

Art class is fun! We made sculptures and 3D paper mache. We painted and drew cartoons. My class is at the Contemporary School for the Arts. Here is some of my work:


This is the NEW Club Penguin Card Jitsju Fire Game. It has secret rooms. If you know the secret passage, you can go through. These are the penguin characters in the game. It's a new 3d game!

This is a compass. It broke apart on one point. It is a clay sculpture.


This is a puffle sculpture. A purple puffle named Cooper!


These are paintings. This one is of mountains, trees, and bushes. The one below is a sunset.

I hope you enjoyed my art showcase! I have 2 more days of class to go.

Science Experiment: Growing Crystals


Fun, easy, and safe. Crystals are safe to make. Every crystal starts as a little pearl shaped dot. First, put the crystals in a cup. Then, you put water in the cup. Then, you watch it every hour and write down your observations. Now you are ready to make some if you have the cup, the bags, and the box of crystals.



Growing into crystals

Writing down observations.


It growed into crystals. I took this picture all by myself. This is a picture of what it should look like when you are done. Now you can make a bunch!

College Graduate!




Today was the last day of College for Kids. I wish I could go again. We sang songs about the rainforest and the oceans. There are four layers in the rainforest: canopy, emergent, forest floor, and the understory. I learned that a toucan is the brightest bird in the rainforest. We made rain shakers. We made fish & starfish. I learned that a giant squid can be up to 66 feet long/420 inches!

College for Kids: Exploration Station

Today was the first day of College for Kids: Exploration Station. It was fun! There were 8 or 9 people in my class. We made a rainforest book. My favorite part was taking the smelling test. We smelled jungle foods like chocolate, sugar, mangoes, and more.

We had journals. Before the end of the day, we wrote in them what we learned. I learned that elephants live in the jungle and they are made out of 4 elements. I think hydrogen, oxygen, and other stuff.

We made chocolate covered bananas with sprinkles. Here's how it worked: first, you dip the bananas into the chocolate, then dip them into the sprinkles. They were delicious!

We read the book A Walk in the Rainforest. A boy and a girl took a walk in the rainforest to explore what it would be like and what would be in it. I liked the book.

I had a great day at college. I can't wait to go back tomorrow!

The World's Biggest Hershey Bar

















Yesterday I went to Hershey Park. My favrote rides were the trail blazer, choclate factory, train, sleds, boat ride, and the fun slide.

Mommy took a picture with us holding the world's largest candy bar. Daddy won me a bear by playing Wack-A-Mole.

In the Chocolate Factory, I learned how the Hershey Kisses get cooked. We got to have a Hershey's candy bar.

I got soaked in the boat ride. We sat in number 21. Mommy rode the roller coaster with me. The roller coaster was called the Trailblazer. Then, I got on two rides before we went home, which were the sleds and the train. We ate dinner at Red Robin.

I had lots and lots of fun!
