THEY FORGOT ME!

Hey Holly and Ms. Bratton's Class,

Today Room 3 went on a field trip to USC across the street. They have a great football team there!  The students went to hear a story called Zhakanaka, the word. The sad thing is that they FORGOT me!  I stayed back and cried, but when they got back they said they were sorry and they would make it up to me.  They showed me pictures so that I would feel like I was there too.  Maybe tomorrow I will get to go somewhere.

Hope you are having fun!

We are learning about Community Workers right now.

Love,

Flat Holly

Walking to USC across the street.

We had lunch on the lawn!

WE CAN'T BELIEVE WE FORGOT HOLLY!!!

SODA FOUNTAIN TREAT!

Dear Holly and Ms. Bratton's Class,

After the Little Mermaid sing-a-long was over, we went next door to the Disney Soda Fountain for a treat.  Here are some pictures of our yummy visit!

Love,

We took a picture with Mickey Mouse!
Here is a picture of the banana split we ate. It was yummy!

SPENDING THE WEEKEND IN LOS ANGELES...

Hello Boys and Girls,

How was your weekend? I had a very busy weekend in Los Angeles. I spent Saturday at the dentist office (Miss Fung's son, Daniel, had an appointment). Then I went with Miss Fung to a PTA meeting at school. She stayed later to help a new teacher do her work. I hung out with her son Daniel outside on the playground. When we got home she was too tired so we went out to dinner instead. The next day we went to Hollywood to sing along with the Little Mermaid! It was awesome! I got you some Little Mermaid tatoos Holly. Okay, gotta go now. Enjoy my pictures. Miss Fung hopes to post some video of the day too.

Miss you,
Flat Holly


Sitting at the dentist office, waiting with Daniel. He had a cavity to take care of.
For dinner, we had spaghetti with butter sauce. Daniel didn't like the apple sauce, so I ate it. His mommy let us order Sprite as a special treat. We had to have milk the rest of the time.
Here we are in Hollywood! Miko joined us for the day. Here we are by Donald Duck's star. It's on the Walk of Fame where there are a lot of stars with names of famous people on them. I didn't know too many of them, but I know Donald Duck!
We are going to see the Little Mermaid at the El Capitan Theater! It's a sing-a-long and the audience gets to sing with the movie.
Here we are right before the movie began. Alexandra came too. That's Miss Fung, my guardian in Los Angeles in the middle. Daniel didn't want to be in the picture, but he smiled anyway. After the show we are going to get ice cream!

SHOW AND TELL

Fridays are Share Day in Room 3. The students get to bring one item to share. Today the kids let me sit with them while they shared because I did not bring anything with me from North Carolina. The class all got to share me!

This is Madelyn sharing her item today. I like Madelyn, she is nice.

POETRY JAM!

Hello Ms. Bratton's Class and Holly!

Today we had a Poetry Jam with the 4th Graders. Our class and Ms. Johnson's class recited poetry for our parents and classmates. It was great! I was a little nervous, but Jayda told me that I could stand with her when she recited her poem. She had her buddy hold me. We did a great job!

After Poetry Jam, we had snacks! My friends got me some cookies and juice. They are really nice people.

Here is Jayda holding me during snack time. It was a great day!

PUMPKIN JACK!

Dear Holly,

Today my friends in Room 3 took me to the school's garden.  Back in October, they carved a pumpkin for Halloween. They named him Pumpkin Jack, like the book Pumpkin Jack.  When Pumpkin Jack started to rot, they put him in the planter. Guess what happened?  Pumpkin Jack's seeds started to sprout and now there are pumpkin flowers and baby pumpkins growing under the flowers! Can you see the tiny, green pumpkin growing under the flower? Miss Fung hopes that they will be able to grow at least one pumpkin. The insects really like to eat them.  Tomorrow the class and their Reading Buddies are having a Poetry Jam. I am trying to learn a poem too so that I can participate!

Talk to you later,

Flat Holly

LUNCH!

We are having cheese pizza, an apple, and chocolate milk.

I didn't have a lunch ticket, so the girls shared their lunch with me.

My Day at Alexander Science Center School...

Dear Holly,

I spent my first day at school in Room 3.  They were celebrating Earth Day.  To help keep the earth clean, they decided to go out and pick up trash around their school. Then we walked outside of the school to the park. It was pretty exciting because Exposition Park is located in the middle of Los Angeles across the street from a big college (USC). Here are some pictures from the pick up in the park.

Love,

Flat Holly

We are getting ready to clean the school yard!

I found a soda can on the ground and put it in the recycling bag.

Miko shows me the famous "Rose Garden" in Exposition Park.

My new friends and I take a picture in the Rose Garden. That's the Natural History Museum behind us.

Haley and Destiny take me to lunch after working hard!

My First Day in LA!

4-22-08

Dear Holly,

After a few days in the US postal system, I finally made it to Los Angeles, California!  The lady that opened your letter took me to spend the day at her school.  She is a kindergarten teacher and thought that it would be fun for her students to show me around.  It was a busy day! The kids were celebrating Earth Day. I will post pictures of my day in Room 3 tomorrow.  Hope you are having fun. Miss you!

Love, 

Flat Holly... tired, but happy to be out of that tight envelope
