Children's Music Journey Review

I really love music, especialy playing the keyboard.This is how I learned to play the keyboard.It all started when I tried Childrens Music Journey one time.I actualy liked it, so I tried another lesson.The next time I took a lesson, I tried a game.It was real fun! Each time I took a lesson I learned a lot of things:
 First, I learned middle C.
 Second, I learned more about the grand staff.
 Third, I learned different composers and the songs they wrote.
 Fourth, I can write and learn new songs.
When I write songs, it gets fun! I usualy get to write a song made of I twelve notes long.But sometimes learning something new is hard too, because I sometimes get confused between half notes and quarter notes!

  This is my photo while taking a lesson.

Children's Music Journey (volume 2) is perfect for children ages 7-9 who like to play the keyboard.Children's Music Jorney (volume 1) is for children ages 4-7 and (volume 3) is for children 9 years old and above.Right now I am using (volume 2) and I enjoy it very much!

The Bookfair

I love to read books. Some of my books came from the bookfair.The bookfair is a place filled with books. If  you love to read books, this might be the place for you. But sometimes it is crowded with people.You should arrive early at the bookfair or it will be to crowded. When it is too crowded, walking  between people is hard.The bookfair is noisy. It opens once a year. This year we brought some magazines and books. We also brought Christmas presents for our friends. Most of the presents were books. I think our friends will like the gifts.

Storms

Storms can bring heavy rains and strong winds.It can cause damage and floods.Here are some few,simple steps to do when there is a storm.

1.FILL A PAIL WITH WATER.If there are brown-outs, we may need water.We take baths and wash clothes.We use water to do these things.

2.GET A FLASHLIGHT AND BATTERIES.At night,it is dark in brown-outs.You may need a flashlight to see through the dark.In case your flashlight runs out of battery,a pocket of batteries may help.

3.FILL A BAG WITH FOOD.When it floods,you may run out of food.

These are the basic steps to do when there is a storm.We can also help people who are flooded.They need food,water( bottled water is good enough),shelter and help.Storms can also do good things. They can cool down a hot day, and bring rain to a dry place.Watch out for a storm!

Mini Volcano

At my history subject,we made a mini volcano.There was a lot to do at this project.We even went to the supermarket to buy some of the materials.The volcano was a little model of Mt.Vesuvius.We used baking soda,red food coloring,vinegar,a funnel,water,dish wash liquid, and a box to make the volcano.First, we cut off the bottom of the box It looked like a  brown field.Second,we put a plastic bottle in the middle of the field.I covered the bottle with soil and shaped it like a mountain.We put water so the soil will harden.

Next,we used the funnel to pour some baking soda into the bottle.Then,we put the dish wash liquid into the bottle.Red food coloring makes the baking soda red,like lava.We put some red food coloring to make lava.

Last of all ,we put vinegar so the lava drips.We took a picture of it.It was so fun to make it!

I Love My Art Folio!

I have an art folio from Manila Baby Shop, where I can put things in.The art folio's color is grey and has flowers and hearts in it.The hearts and flowers have different colors which  I like.

About my art folio:

 color = grey and white

 design = hearts and flowers

 style = like a shoulder bag

 handle's color = white

Its amazing that I can put different things inside it.Like :oil pastels,crayon box, art works, sketch pads or coloring books.It has little pockets inside it where I can put markers and paintbrushes.I can also put school supplies such as books and erasers inside the art folio.I have many artworks here at home.I can put all of them here!

My Second Ballet Recital

One of my favorite things to do is to dance ballet. I take ballet lessons on Monday and Wednesday. It was Tuesday when my classmates and I did our rehearsal at the giant stage in CCP. Before I went to the rehearsal, we went to the parlor so I could get a makeover. The rehearsal started at 12:00 PM and ended 6:00 PM .My rehearsal day was exciting.We practiced our dances and had a chance to sit at front seats inside the theater. Recital day was on May 31,2012,Thursday.  The recital started at 5:00 PM, but we were needed to be at the CCP by 3:30 PM for warm up class. Before the recital, my classmates and I went to the dressing  room to prepare.This was my second time  to go to CCP and see the great stage again.It had turned out exciting for me to dance on stage.I didn't get nervous while dancing , because it was dark . And my ballet teacher told me to find the little red light and look at it instead of looking at the audience .After my recital,we headed straight home. It had been a wonderful day to dance on stage again.
