Lights! Camera! Action!

Hello people!

 This past week, I have been in a Preforming Arts camp in Elmsford, NY. It's called Random Farms Kids' Theater. We preformed 101 Dalmations today and it was a huge success. Our performance was at 11:00a.m. but we had to be there a 9:00a.m. to get used to the stage and stuff. I play one of the puppies who Cruella De Vil steals so I have to wear ears on my head. It was so embarrassing because when we all ran across the stage at the end, my ears fell off! I didn't know what to do! I quickly grabbed them and shoved them on my head and kept on going!
   For those of you who don't know the story of 101 Damations, it's basically about a family of 2 dog parents: Pongo and Perdita, 4 Dalmation puppies: Penny; Lucky (that's me); Pepper and Patch, and 2 loving owners: Roger and Anita. Their next-door neighbor, Cruella Di Vil, is a crazy person who steals dogs to shave them and sell their fur. So Cruella wants Roger and Anita's puppies so she can that to them. She and her 2 henchman, Horace and Jasper, steal the puppies but Pongo, Perdita, and the dogs of London rescue the puppies and all the other dogs in the fur vault from Cruella. Cruella, Horace, and Jasper end up arrested and Roger and Anita decide to by a big Dalmation Plantation, with all the money Cruella had from the furs, for their 101 Dalmations. Everyone then lives happily ever after!

 The directors were great and made all the rehearsals really fun so go to link below to pursue your dream in theater! haha

Summer Vacay

 Hola people of Earth and beyond! This is TOD here to talk about one thing: SUMMER VACATION! Sorry, i felt the need to scream. 
 This past school year has been filled with change, happiness, and of course some education. Change has occurred this year because I just started the whole process of changing classes, lockers, and meeting new people from other schools. I have made tons of new friends from all the different elementary schools, we have become super close throughout the year. My favorite class this year was Digital Literacy. Dig-lit class is when you learn different skills on Mac computers. For example, we learned how to morph different animal parts together on Photoshop to create a new kind of animal. That was one of our projects, I created a Gorifishrd. This distinct animal has the head of a gorilla, body of a fish, and talons of a bird. (Right)                  
 My least favorite class this year was Health. I don't know if health will always be my least favorite because it was only one unit we did this year that made me hate health class. The unit was......suicide......(scary music please). We read almost 5 cases of kids that were bullied or cyberbullied so hard that they wanted their life to end so they killed themselves. It was a very depressing unit.
 Anyway (on that happy note) school was fun this year; my teachers were great,  I learned a lot, made new BFFs, and became more independent. 

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

P.S. Another extra credit project I did was create a screaming apple so you can take a look at that too! (Below)
