Mari's Christmas List (continued) and others

Hi, this is Mari again.

I forgot two things after I published my post.

8. Webkinz clothes(for Kate and Clara)
9. Build-a-Bear (for my account)

Now for a new subject... Reading/Phonics!
My favourite!


I was 3 years old (in preschool) when I first read my books.

I got so good, I started reading chapter books when I was in Gr.1!
Wow!
Now I'm really into challenging books!

Bye for now! P.S.( I am into novels now and in Gr.3!)

There sure are some Avid fans out there !!

I don't read much chinese, but visit this site for how they did it (I thought someone used photoshop until I saw the other photos)

Fun baking






We decided to play around with our color cookie dough and the girls made some interesting (and almost tasty) cookies.

Social experiment by grade 8 girl

This is an article about a girl that wore a pro-McCain shirt to school and recorded the comments. The next day, she wore a pro-Obama shirt and record comments also.

Considering Obama is a strong supporter of tolerance, it was interesting to read the comments when we wore the McCain shirt....needless to say, they were not very tolerant people.

Hope you enjoy this.

Things you learn while you are on the Internet. Did you know that if you dug through the earth, you would NOT end up in China? Sorry Mom :-)

Have a look at http://www.zefrank.com/sandwich/tool.html to find out where you would be.
