READING
This has been a fun year and I have learned a lot, especially about animals.
I learn about them by reading and then I go outside and look for them and watch them. I found baby ladybugs this way coming out of their coccoons. My dad had never seen a baby lady bug, but he was excited when I showed him all of them on our bushes.
Besides animal books I have also read a lot of other fun books.
I read all the Nate the Great books. He really is smart and he really likes pancakes.
I also read Curious George. I love how he is always exploring and trying things even when he gets into trouble. That's a lot like me.
Now I'm starting to read about Jack and Annie in the Magic Tree house series.
I like how they go to different times and places. I just read about when they went to Australia and had to help a very cute baby Kangaroo find its mother.
Dingoes chased them, but they escaped and made it home safe.
GEOGRAPHY
I am still learning about the different parts of the world. Mostly I know a lot about Brazil because my dad used to live there and I really want to go there because of the Amazon rainforest with all the amazing animals.
I would love to catch a red-eyed tree frog and have it for a pet with my other tree frogs.
I also know about Europe a little bit because my mom and grandparents are from there.
Here in America I went to California this year to see where my family used to live and we got to visit the Wild Animal park and see lions and giraffes and lots of other animals.
MUSIC
I like all sorts of music, but especially dance music and I love to dance with my mom and have everyone watch.
I also really like singing and this year I sang a Bulgarian songon the stage at the Firehouse in Newburyport for a poetry show.
GYMNASTICS
My dad is teaching me gymnastics. I can already to 3 pull ups and I can do a hold where you sit on the ground with your legs straight in front of you and lift yourself off the ground.
My brothers can't do that hold yet. I never knew how to do a cartwheel before but after an hour I learned how to do one and I keep practicing to get better. Now I want to learn how to do a handspring and stand on my hands.
MATH
This year I learned how to count really well and I have been practicing my addition and subtraction.
My brothers help me with Khan Academy and I have done a lot of math there, but I like Arcademics math because you get to race.
Here is a list of some of the things I have worked on this year.
