Class field trip to Chabot Space and Science Center

My class went to the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland. I learned that inside a tiny drop of water there a whole other world! And did you know that Jupiter is the largest planet? We also took a hike outdoors and learned that Banana Slugs aren’t always yellow!

Christmas

At our house we celebrate Christmas. It’s always a lot of fun. We put up a Christmas tree in our house. We decorate it with ornaments that we have collected over many years. Some were even my mom’s when she was little. We also put colored lights on our tree and outside on the roof of our house. The lights help guide Santa Claus to our house to deliver presents to my sister and me on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, we also go to church to remember that this is the day Jesus was born. On Christmas Day this year, we got up really early and ran to our tree to see what Santa Claus had left for us! I got a game called Dogopoly and a electric piano keyboard. I also got a set of plastic dogs – one for every different dog breed! At night, all my grandparents come over for dinner and some of my other relatives. This year our feast was delicious. We had beef, cheesy potatoes, green beans and for dessert a chocolate Yule log…yum! I love Christmas!
