Land of Make Believe

    On Thursday we went to the Land of Make Believe. I went on so many fun rides.  My favorite water slide was the Toilet Bowl.  My favorite ride was a mini roller coaster.  When we first got there my little siblings went on some baby rides.  Then we went on bigger rides.  The scariest ride was the ferris wheel (it was tiny but I still hated it).  The Tilt-a-Whirl (teacups) were also really fun.  I also really liked the frog jump.  In the water park I went on a body slide and the Toilet Bowl.  I went on the body slide once and the Toilet Bowl three times.  There were two big water areas with kiddie slides.  I went on the lazy river four times!  I had so much fun, and I can not wait to go back!

Broadway Fun

Yesterday I went to go see Wicked on broadway. Wicked is about how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked. Well actually she was not wicked. One of her teachers was a goat. In the musical animals could speak. One time he couldn't talk so the "witch" went to see the wizard. The wizard gave her a spell book to read from so she could cast a spell on all animals so they could speak again. Alfaba (the witch) accidentally cast a spell that all monkeys could fly. That's why there's flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz. Once the teacher left another teacher came. He tried to harm a baby cub. Alfaba cast a spell to make the cub into a big lion. Alfaba's sister Nessarose had a friend (a boy). Nessarose at first was in a wheel chair but then Alfaba cast a spell so she could walk. When Balk (Nessarose's friend that's a boy) saw her walking he wanted to kill Alfaba but Nessarose quickly cast a spell but she didn't know what she was saying. She accidentally cast a spell so his heart shrank. Then Alfaba cast a spell. She turned him into the tin man.

SCHOOL IS IN!

School started and so far it's going great! My Hebrew and English teachers are really really nice! Another new thing about fourth grade is that we lockers. I have a whiteboard on my locker. I love to draw on it! Today I drew a really pretty picture of a girls face. I also made a Beruchim Ha'baim sign with sequence (as a class project)-it was really fun! Our Sukkah
Is almost finished! We just have a few decorations to put up like my sign, styrofoam balls with flowers on it, and pictures my siblings made. Chag Sameach to you!

FIRST DAY AT CAMP MESORAH

We had chiken for dinner. That night we had canteen right before we went to bed! Before canteen there was night activities. For night activities the Chicago Boys Acrobats. They were so cool! Two of my friends ate junk. One of my friends was sleeping on the top of my bed and the other was sleeping on the bottom of the bunk next to me. They kept me up until 2:30 camp time! In the morning I woke up at 5:00 camp time! Everybody else in my bunk was up. My friend Devorah and I decided to get dressed because we couldn't fall back asleep. Then everybody else also got dressed and we went outside to daven. After davening we had breakfast. For breakfast there was French toast and cereal. I had both! Then we went to a few activities, had lunch, went swimming, and then we did more activities. The night activity was Let's Make a Deal. Someone had a choice of an underwater camera or behind the door. She chose behind the door and guess what was there? A can of sardines! It was so funny!

CAMP MESORAH

      On Tuesday I went to Mesorah Experience in Mesorah.  The program is for three days and two nights.  The bus ride was very very very long!  I sat with my friend Temima Guzman.  A few of my friends and I had to go on the boys bus.  It was fine because Temima and I had two other friends to talk to.  Even though it was such a long ride it I was not bored at all.  When we got to camp all the girls were welcoming us and showing us were to go.  We went to the dining room were the person in charge of Mesorah Experience told us what bunk we were in, and (I was with all of my friends!) about camp time (an hour earlier than real time).  Then we went to our bunk to unpack 

DEEP LAKE TEST

Today in camp I took the deep lake test. At first I was scared but then I did it! I had to jump in the water, do the front crawl across the lake, then you have to swim back to the other side (front crawl). I opened my eyes underwater. It was green! Them you had to tread for two minutes! It was so hard! But I passed it!

BOATING

Today in camp I went boating. Three of my friends and I went on a petal boat. My friends Devorah and Rachel were on the petals and my friend Atara was in the back. I sat in the middle. I had to use the turning controller. It was so hard. Five minutes after we left the dock the life guards announced that everybody who has been on a boat for ten minutes had to come back. But we were only in the water for five minutes so we kept going. We were going and going but then we realized we were in the deep water. So we had to go backwards. Then we had to turn but our turning controller was broken! G-d for bid we thought we were going to die! Finally, we made it back to the dock (we were in the boat for more then ten minutes!)!
