2011 was
a good year! I turned 8 beginning of the year.
In school, I
finished second grade and joined Mrs. Munro's third grade.
I was thrilled to get Mrs. Munro who was chechy's third grade teacher too.
Chechy not being in school any more made me feel like a big independent girl.
I continued to do well in school and enjoyed being the teacher's helper.
Mrs. Munro even let me correct papers!
My entry got picked in the Literature category for Reflections this year.
Visited our nation's capital and New York city in spring. The highlight was seeing the dinosaur exhibits at the Smithsonian Natural History museum. Went on a trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons with Pooja and family in summer. That was fabulous. Ended the year with a trip to Puerto Rico. Also went skiing, camping, and on long hikes.
I continued my piano lessons. Continued with art and dance classes too.
Completed my first canvas painting. Did many Bollywood dance performances and even won second place in one.
Got my graduation medal from the American Swim Academy.
Learned to bike very well on a big bike and took some basketball classes.
Enjoyed attending Mad science and Lego Robotics classes after school.
Reading continued to be my favorite pastime.
Enjoyed watching movies, playing games, spending time with family and friends, drawing and painting too.
