Homeschool Sleepover at VASC and How to Train a Dragon

2010-04-26T16:48:00.002-04:00

I went to go see "How to Train a Dragon." It wasn't at just a regular old theater; it was at the mall. And after this, we're going to hear about the homeschool sleepover at the VASC. Now let's hear about the movie. At the first shot we were seeing men killing the dragons, but that's not what the ending was like. The ending was like taking care of the dragons. I thought that the movie was awesome! Toothless is not actually toothless. He has teeth, but they're just hiding under the gums. The boy's name was Hiccup.

At VASC, we slept in a kind of cool spaceship. We actually got to control it, and at the night, I used to get up and play with it. And we parked right next to Mars. My class was so good; I liked it super much. I made an astronaut, and I also made a spaceship, and I also got a book. I colored on it to make it's actually like that thing. I made a cool kind of helicopter, and when you just drop it from high heights, then it starts to spin, and I got to watch it go down -- it's so cool!

The Best School

2010-02-05T19:44:00.003-05:00

Today I went to a nice school. First we went to the farm and we saw three horses and two goats. And one of the goats liked me. And one of the horses had stepped on one of the cats' tail and broke some of it off. We fed them. Then we went in and we learned about 1. Then we got to create a sculpture. I made one that they liked, which you can see the picture up there.

The story was totally funny. It was about a little chicken who ate a big seed that makes the chicken cough. And there was an old chicken that told the other chicken not to eat it, but when he found one he gulped it down. And then that chicken went to a spring. He asked the spring, "May I please have some water? That little chicken was coughing." And then, the spring said "Get me a cup, then I can give you some water." So then, the little chicken went to a tree, and then said, "Can you please give me a cup? The little chicken is coughing." The tree said, "Shake me, then I will give you a cup." Then she went over to a boy. She said, "Can you please shake this tree, the little chicken is coughing." After she always says something to the different thing she goes to, she says "The little chicken is coughing." And the little boy said, "Give me some shoes. Then I'll go and shake the tree." Then she went over to the shoe maker. "Can you please give me some shoes? The little chicken is coughing." He said, "Get me some iron. Then I will give you some shoes." And then she went over to a dwarf. She said, "Can you please give me some iron? The little chicken is coughing." They went into the cave, and she took the iron to the shoe man, and he made shoes for the little boy, and she carried them over. He shook the tree, the tree gave the chicken a cup, the stream gave water, and then she took the cup to the little chicken.

My favorite part of the school today was the farm, and also making the sculpture.

Art of Glass 2 at the Chrysler Museum

2009-06-17T15:42:00.004-04:00

Today, I went to the museum and I saw a lot of favorites of my own. Almost everything was my favorite. We mostly saw some statues and inside the statues, beside one, there was a dress and inside the dress was a human body and you couldn't see her arms and head. All you can see is inside the dress. That was half of my favorite, but most favorite is Endeavor. It looks like a city of fish.

I love the light sculpture too. That is also my favorite. It was light, with glass, and then it had beautiful colors coming out, like a star. And then we saw a glowing green pyramid with a kind of shape like an eye.

(This is Sadie's review of the exhibit. She is five. Click for info on Art of Glass 2: Lino Tagliapietra made Endeavor. The Green Eye of the Pyramid here. Karen Lamonte's glass dress here.)

Movie Review: UP

2009-06-01T09:39:00.002-04:00

Hello. My name is Doug. Do you have a tail? Do you wag it? Hey, where are you going? Do I ever so want the ball! Oh boy! Oh boy! I'll go get the ball and bring it back. Hi there!

I loved the movie about me. And I have a team that has a shame cone! My master was training me tricks, which I already know. The best thing about the movie was we got to see some babies. Russell named a bird Kevin and it was a girl. I pretty much met Mr. Frankincense. You know, that old man? He did not know that I had a collar that could make me talk. Is there more words on this? That movie was very very long. I had to get my fur taped. Well, my leader dog had a funny voice. It was so funny I could laugh! And I think I got dog biscuits. I was in the movie too! Will you come with me to the movie theater? And I love that movie! Do you actually have a tail?

Sadie's review of "Shoes," by Singer and Storyteller Susan Reed

2009-05-14T20:04:00.003-04:00

Susan Reed, singer, storyteller, and Suzuki violin clinician, was Sadie's teacher at the workshop we attended in March. We bought one of Miss Susan's CDs and brought it home for Sadie to enjoy. She LOVES it. She listens to it in her CD player at night, and then totes it downstairs to listen to down here too! Here is her review:

For Miss Susan:

I like your songs. My favorite one is the first one, "Hello, how'd you do? Nice to be here with you!" I really like it. I also like the violin parts. I listen to it every night and sometimes every day. And thanks for teaching me. I bet someday I will be like you.

Love,
Sadie

Sadie and the Cow

2009-05-04T14:27:00.002-04:00

Once we were going strawberry picking. And I went to see a cow, which now we're talking about right now. It had a very dirty udder. It was very very dirty. But I did not care. The reason why I'm telling this is that I love cows! Cows make milk by eating grass. But grass is green and milk is white. I wonder how that happens. Maybe you should go to the strawberry farm and see that cow. Maybe it will be up and running around, or maybe it will be resting like we saw. But who cares? Well, I'm thinking on getting a cow. Because we just ran out of milk. And what we're talking about today is cows. But you know what I'm talking about, right? A dog named Leroy might get scared of that cow. Who cares about Leroy? Benny does. Do you think that a cow has just one stomach? It does not have one stomach! It has four stomachs. Every time it chews it goes down to the first stomach, and then comes back up again and then goes to the fourth. The cow has to eat some grass, and eat and eat and eat. And eat and eat. Like millions of grass. But not in one day -- in a hundred days, if it lives a hundred days. The end.

My Bike Race

2009-04-20T12:42:00.002-04:00

Yesterday I had a bike race. I went so fast and I had some big kids right behind me. And I won the race. I got tired, but kept on going, and going. I got one loop around the building, and it was a long way. It was almost a mile. It makes me feel great, like I want to do karate.

Monsters Vs. Aliens Review

2009-03-30T13:32:00.003-04:00

This weekend, I saw a movie called "Monsters Vs. Aliens." Now, you can see on my blog the picture which I like. And these would be the monsters which I saw in this movie. There's a giant cockroach in this movie, and he's nice, and they have to fight an alien! A giant, which used to be the size of a regular girl, has turned into a giant. She destroyed the alien and his robots. And there's a big giant bug which is nice, and there's a big blue glob which is so, so funny! And on the picture, you can see his face and what he looks like. There's a fish that looks like a man. He does not have fins -- he has hands. And that is really like a kind of monster.

It was a good movie. I liked the blue glob and the girl. The giant was named Susan, and she turned fifty feet tall. The monsters win! That's all I want to say.

Rainbow the Unicorn by Sadie

2009-03-23T15:20:00.001-04:00

(This is Sadie's entry for the Reading Rainbow contest. I just want to say that the original draft of this story was way more violent than this draft. I encouraged her to edit it for children.)

Once upon a time, there was a unicorn. That unicorn was named Rainbow. Rainbow lived in the forest, the rain forest!

One day, there was a hunter.

The unicorn felt mad! The unicorn knew just what to do. The unicorn charged, with the horn pointing straight to the guy’s chest. The hunter felt mad!

But the unicorn turned, going straight into a tree. The hunter laughed. Then, the hunter got too much of the unicorn’s funniness from the unicorn, so he went away.

The hunter ran and ran, and Rainbow felt funny.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

2009-03-20T12:24:00.002-04:00

Once upon a time, there was a Chihuahua.

And there was another one, named Papi. The first one was named Chloe.

She was from Beverly Hills until she got lost in Mexico.

Papi came to save her, and also her owner, that was just taking care of Chloe.

She left clues out for them to find a booty, and Papi found a booty. Rachel got surprised that he found a booty!

Chloe fell in a mud puddle and lost a booty!

Chloe was on a train.

They have found some dogs that was going to help. And they were hired, and they got homes.

And Chloe fell in a pit. And Papi was in a cage when she was in the pit. And Papi was in the cage. And Chloe have rescued Papi.

Chloe first did not have her bark, and then when she was in the pit, she got her bark. And she barked some times, and she defeated the bad guys.

The End.

The Knight Vs. The Firesnake

2009-03-11T12:43:00.003-04:00

Once upon a time, there was a firesnake. And that firesnake eats every kind of people thing there is. And people, food, and people. It eats dogs, glow stations, lamps, cats, toys, and all the other people things. It crunches like it is eating people. It eats bags, clothing, paper, printers, computers, collars, eyes, and chairs.

The knight comes to the firesnake realm. And the firesnake sees the knight! He (the knight) got frightened and the firesnake shot fire at that knight. The knight had armor so he did not get killed. And then that firesnake shot fire at him harder! When he did it harder, the armor broke in two pieces of every piece of that armor. And then that knight was unprotected. So, he got dead. That is the end.

Dad's Bike Race

2009-03-08T19:58:00.003-04:00

Today, all of us have went to a bike race with Dad. There was no kid bike race, but Benny rided around and came back and went around again. And I got really hot. I really got hot. So, if it's freezing there, I would need something hot, like a heat vent there. Now, Dad has got a tenth place, out of 48.

Underdog Saves the Day

2009-03-07T20:35:00.003-05:00

Once upon a time, there was a village far away. There was a horrible, horrible storm. It wrecked up the whole village and the whole castle. It was a candy kingdom. The castle had peppermints and candy canes and gumballs and some chocolate and a dog came. He saw the village all broken up. So he just did something that the village needed him to do! He fixed the whole village up very fast.

And you have got to hear the violin song of it! I, Sadie, just made it up. The end.

Red Priest Review

2009-02-18T13:08:00.004-05:00

The Red Priest guy. Last night, this guy was the recorders, and me and Mom saw a thing which we don't know, and he kept playing it and the violin guy which is not on this picture has been doing the wind on a flute! I loved the beginnings, and I loved super-loved the wind sound. I just loved that part. The end!

(Red Priest is an early music ensemble, and this is Sadie's review of their show, "Pirates of Baroque").

The Firesnake

2008-12-05T12:50:00.002-05:00

There once was a firesnake. It was so tall. In fact, it had a baby. The baby was so so small. It can fit under a rock. Just like crabs. It has to grow a horn. And it has to grow two firebreaths. Until it just grew and grew AND GREW AND GREW until it was big and tall, and it can duck down and get neat, and take the dog's meat! And it went like, "Oop, sorry." It wasn't really mean. But it's so so dangerous that the dog was carrying his meat inside the house. Also, a mighty dog will be scared of it. And it will be brave, but it will still be scared of the firesnake.

The firesnake lives at the jungle. The end.

Hershey and her Hat and her Bag

2008-10-24T12:35:00.002-04:00

Sadie Story

Drama at the Enchanted Castle

2008-04-21T12:39:00.003-04:00

Overheard while Sadie was playing with this toy book:

One day there was a castle, and there was some princes, then a princess came along, then the castle was breaked down. The dragon did that! And then the princess ran inside, but she couldn't! So she couldn't get in! Then she squished it through, and she got to the top! Then she jumped away. Then she got around where Snow White was, and she looked at Snow White. Then they went down the stairs and they were in the ballroom! They jumped up where the princes were, then they got the princes away. They dropped themselves. Then another prince came and his name was Aladdin. He lived on the castle. He went up inside, but someone just CAUGHT him inside -- Snow White caught him inside!!! And he ran by himself, and got where they were. Then something happened. The stairs broke down. Then they were trapped! He fell over. Then another guy came, and he jumped up, and he jumped around the world! (laughter) DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO!!! And he jumped on the stairs -- he thought the stairs were a trampoline but THAT WAS A TRAP. And only the princes know the way out. And more princes got out. But the princesses were trapped! Then they were freezing! They wanted to get out but they were about to die. Ariel said, "We're about to die!" Snow White said, "We're not going to die! Or we are. Or we're not going to." Ariel said, "We are going to die!" Ariel stared at the stairs. THEN, the princess locked the stairs up!

THEN A SHARK CAME OVER! Then Belle got the trap, and she ran upstairs where they were. She wanted no shark to come over! The shark was bouncing! Over them! Bouncing on its tail and its head! Then they hided, and hided, but she came up there, and she was scared! He's doing a flip-fly! Then, he came down, then his tail got longer, and longer, and longer! Then it got short.

Etc.

Mom's Note: This is a very neat toy. Very portable. Sadie is very into paper dolls and also pop-up books, so this was like a magical combo. We found it on the bargain table at the bookstore for $6.99 though. You have to find your own shark though -- not included.

My Webkinz

2008-04-21T12:26:00.003-04:00

My Webkinz is jumping on the trampoline. And it was sleeping on the outside bed. And then it went inside.
