My Year

This year I turned 8 and got to go to Scotland with my family and get baptized there. It was really fun and I even got to see the Isle of Skye which is what I am named after.

Everywhere we went I searched for animals and I found some polliwogs  and tadpoles and other creatures.

I am now up to 30 animals with 9 terrariums and aquariums and a hutch my rabbit and guinea pigs and a chicken coop. Our chickens lay eggs every day and they are the yummiest eggs ever with very yellow yolks.

I take care of all my pets and animals and my parents said I could start a Youtube Channel so I did and made my first video of how to make a toad habitat without spending too much money:

I will make videos of all my animals this year and teach about them.

This year I got really into reading and read almost all the Daisy Meadows Fairy Series books. I think I read more than 80 of those books. I also did acting classes and am doing singing and dancing lessons this summer. I love to be on stage and dance or sing and talk to people.

For math I learned all my addition and subtraction facts and have been practicing on Arcademics and Teach Me 2nd Grade. I also learned about money and have been working to earn money to take care of my pets and to get new ones. Sometimes I catch them, but some I buy from Pet City or PetSmart or Petco and soon I will get a white mouse.

My mom teaches me history and we learned about Leonardo Da Vinci, the Titanic and we also have been watching movies like Much Ado About Nothing and Pride and Prejudice. I don't understand all the words but I like the stories. My mom read with me Heidi this year and it's one of my favorite books ever. We also ready Pollyanna and I like how she always finds reasons to be glad. I also read a lot of Magic Tree House books and learned about a lot of different times and places.

My favorite toys to play are LaLa Loopsies and I like making up stories with my dad.

I made 4 story books this year and I draw all the pictures of the girls. I am pretty good at drawing girls now in different outfits. I am learning to type but I still like writing with pencils for now.

My dad started teaching me piano this year and I learned the song Tender Shepherd which is one of my favorite lullabies.

Now that it's summer I am excited for the blackberries to grow in our garden and for butterflies and dragonflies to come out. I can usually get a dragonfly to land on my finger. I am also going to do gymnastics with my dad in our yard. I got a mat for Christmas which I take outside and I can do cartwheels and lots somersaults already.
