The Best Day Ever (or since the last best day ever)

Today we celebrated Chinese New Year. We ate cupcakes. The icing was black and cupcake was white. Yummy.

We also learned about presidents. Presidents help people do the tight right thing. Presidents are nice. They tell people what they have to do and what they can't do. To help people with what they have done wrong. To tell people how to be kind to others. Presidents are elected. Our president, Obama. was elected by the people. There have been a lot of other presidents. I know another president's name: George Washington.

The coolest part of school today was that the tooth fairy came. Dylan, Wynne, and me were teeth. We wore white t-shirts. Dylan was a molar, Wynne was a 6 year molar, and I was a pointy tooth. Some people call them sharp or shark teeth. The tooth fairy brushed us. It tickled so much. We had to keep our arms still because teeth don't have arms. We brush our teeth so we don't get cavities. We played a button game with the tooth fairy. If you have never played the button game, you need to ask the tooth fairy to come to your school. She asked us questions and if we knew the answer, we hit the button. She ask us all about our teeth. We also watched a Gina the Giraffe movie. Gina's friend didn't brush her teeth. All her teeth fell out, turned green, or turned to wood. George Washington, the first President, had wooden teeth because he take care of his teeth and they were rotten.

Fires, Watermelons, and Flowers

It has been a busy week at school. We have been studying about "solids, wiquids, and gases." Yesterday we made a Heart Potion. Heart Potions are cool. First, you need blue and red Koolaid, which you need to make and then freeze into ice. You also need straws, cups, and a coke. Put the ice in the glass cup (I chose red) and then slowly pour the coke in. The bubbles turn pink. It makes pinky bubbles. Pink gas, really.

We also painted with straws. You were suppose to blow through the straw to make neat designs. When it was my turn, I put the straw in my mouth and took a big breath so I would have pretty paint, but I ended up sucking the paint in through the straw instead. YUCK! I spit it out. It tasted like paint.

The next thing we learned about is the heart. The heart has 4 chambers, vessel spouts with lots of blood coming out, and it pumps. My heart is about as big as my fist. A great and powerful doctor did the first open heart surgery (Daniel Hale Williams). He was the greatest doctor, but he died.

Other things:
1. Mom is going to write on my birth certificate pillow with stain forever light blue (Mom calls this a permanent marker).
2. My favorite smells are fires, watermelons, and flowers.

Happy Valentine's Day.
