Another tooth GONE!

I lost my sixth tooth at Grammy's house. This is the before picture. Then Mommy made me let her take it out. She said it was just hanging there and looked bad.

After

Nurse Dragonfly

We set up a hospital in our bedroom. I took dragonfly into the bedroom and dressed her up as a nurse. She looked very cute as a nurse but the dress was too big. I used a hair clip to clip the back.

In Kirsten's Place

It is sad leaving my beloved home in Sweden for a new life in America. The journey was hard. I felt really scared when I was lost. I tried talking to the people but not one listened to me. Eventually I found home where mom, pa, Lars and Peter were waiting for me. In the morning, I went to Marta and asked her if we were traveling together. We were not. Saying goodbye to the ones I love is the hardest thing for me to do. I said goodbye then we hit the road. I looked one last time at Marta. We got on the train. Inside it was steaming hot and hard to breathe. It was even harder to breathe because I was between mom and Peter. The train stopped and we got off for a rest at the house and there was Marta.

Back to School

I am back to doing school work again and I am having fun. This year I am doing an American Girl study. Right now I am studying Kirsten's time period which is 1854. Kirsten is a pioneer who travels from Sweden to Minnesota. She takes a boat to get to American and a train to get from NY to Chicago.

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.
