Pictures of Quantico
This is where we dropped daddy off.
I think people might live here.
This one is for Uncle Dan.
The town of Quantico. We are passing over train tracks. Uncle Richard would have like to see the train. We could have toured it.

Back to School
In Math, I am learning new problems, such as diving by nine and fractions.
I am studying Mandarin. Here is a song from my book.
I am really enjoying learning the language. My neighbor is helping me with it as well. She put together a power point to teach kids about Chinese and let me check it out.
My favorite part about school so far is study about the American Girls.

Chinese class
Day 6
Today in Chinese class we had a storyteller for our guest. He told us two stories first in English and next in Mandarin. We didn't do calligraphy today. This week we started clubs. I am in the chopstick dance club. Everyone is learning the chopstick dance so well and so quickly. We dug up soldiers. I dug out part of the head, middle part and toe. The teenagers dug up all of their soldiers. I was amazed. Annabelle is one the people in the chopstick dance and tomorrow is her last day coming to the class.

Chinese Class Day 3
Our guest today was a dancer. After all three dances, the dancers let us have a chance to dance. Dancing is fun.
We learned how to use an abacus. We were also given fruit snacks as a treat. In the class meeting today we listen to the legand of the Panda and they took pictures of us. We also watched Big Bird in China.
My favorite thing about today was writing.

Chinese Class Day 2
Today, in Chinese class, I made paper folds. They were fun. These are two of my favorite ones.
The pink one is a snow flake and the blue one is a fancy square. One of my paper folds I cut the wrong way. Its gray and not in this picture.
I got to watch a movie and learned more Chinese words. Xia Xia means Thank you. In the movie, the kids were playing basketball and not speaking English. It was hard to understand but there was a man on the movie who helped us understand.
We had a guest who was a painter. The painter let us have a chance to paint but I wasn't one of the ones who got to paint. I really wanted to but didn't get picked. The painting was a flower or a bird. We saw alot of paintings and some were small table clothes.
We looked at some books about China.
At the class meeting, we got a prize. Mine was a fan and it has a really strong perfume smell. It is the one in this picture. It is a wood fan. Mommy thinks it looks really pretty.
