There Was So Much Going On Today

I've had a busy day. First I went to the library to return some Scaredy Squirrel books. That squirrel is so funny. I also checked to see if the Disney Cinderella DVD came in from the other library, but it had not. Then I went to the restuarant supply store to find some tools I need for a kitchen science project. Afterward, I came home and played some basketball before heading to Speech and OT. That was really fun because I got to tell everyone my lines for the CLO Camp play. By the time I came home it was almost time for CLO Camp. I headed to back to the library to see if the DVD came in and it had! I'm so excited, I can't wait to get home from CLO Camp and have a movie night!

Here is my journal entry for today.

Only Two More Weeks Before School

I'm working hard this week to continue my studies as I prepare for 1st Grade. School starts on the 27th and I can't wait to go to 1st Grade.

If you look on the Books We Read section of this website you will see that I have read fifty (50) library books so far this summer. My goal was to read seventy-one (71) books before school starts, but I've decided to change it to eighty-eight books (88) That means I only have thirty-eight (38) books to go. That's math you know and math is my favorite. I can add and substract single digit and some two digit numbers in  my head.

On Saturday I went inside the library by myself and checked out some books that we had ordered. I also asked if they had the Disney Cinderella movie all by myself. The librarian said they didn't have it, but she did order it for me from another library. I want to watch the movie because I am in my sixth day of Pittsburgh CLO Summer Camp and we are putting on a production of Cinderella on Friday. This year I have four (4) lines, that's the most lines I've had yet. I am going to be a Town Crier, one of the mice, and one of the narrators. I'm very excited.
