Wow, now I'm in fourth grade. I know I am going to work hard to have good grades, but more than that, I am excited about the new interesting things I am going to learn. My teacher is Mrs. Frigiola, she is very nice and I like her. There are some old friends and some new friends in my class. This year I am going to start playing the violin and the teacher said that we are going to have some concerts too. I know fourth grade is going to be great.

Vacationing in Sea Isle

For a week my family, Mary's family, and another family, acquaintances of my parents, went to Sea Isle, south of New jersey. The city was beautiful, the ocean seemed to be endless, and the air felt so clean. Everyday we went to the beach, playing with the big waves of the ocean, building sand castles, and playing soccer until dusk. This week was so much fun, I hope we'll do it again.

My Best Friend Mary

Hi!

I want to talk about my best friend Mary. Mary is the tall one in the middle. Mary, my sister Megan, and I have so much fun together. All three of us are away from each other. It takes our family at least three hours just to get there. The last time we went to her house, we had so much fun. All three of us went to the mall. Mary got her ears pierced. Megan and I held her hand the whole time. After that we went to Aeropostale. All three of us wore cute matching shirts from Aeropostle. Next we went back to Mary's house. We watched some television. Then we played charades. Then we just talked about our schools that we go to. We had sooooo much fun!

Eco Girls

We live in planet Earth. There are a lot of opinions on Global Warming. It is important for us to remember to live our lives in harmony with nature.

I do love taking car rides as I love walking to school and to the stores. I love walking, because is good for me. I turn off the lights when I am not in the room, because I do not want my parents to pay too much on the electric bill, I want a book instead.

We just have to be careful with our earth, if we cut a tree, we need to plant a new one. We have to take care of earth and of ourselves.

I Love NYC!

Every month or so, my family and I spend the weekend in NYC. It is the best city in the world, not that I have been in every city but I really don't have to in order to say that NY is the best.

I love the shows and the Central Park, the tall buildings and different kind of people that I see, sometimes strange people, but I like them, because they make me laugh. The street shows are also a good part of NYC, the street vendors add flavors to the city where everybody is in a rush and somehow they make people stop and enjoy the food that they would have never tried before.

I love The Big Apple circus and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, I love the Lion King and The Little Mermaid. I hope the next show will be Mary Poppins, fingers crossed. :)

Love,

Alexia
