April 4-H Meeting by Denny Lynn

I am always excited for a 4-H Meeting! This time I got to lead the American Pledge.

Makayla came to visit our club, so she helped with the 4-H Pledge.

She told us about the County Council and them played a game with us. I picked her as the first "Goose".

We had a service project collecting pillows and towels for the children's home. We made boo boo bunnies out of washcloths to send along.

I made a blue one.

We collected some great stuff. I can't wait for my club to grow up together! We always have fun and learn new things.

Readers Raise the Roof by Denny Lynn

For literacy week we had a special night at school. Families got to come, so we went with Mama to learn all about reading. We got to hang out with the Norsworthies and I was super excited to be with Holly.

We started off with pizza for everyone!

Then we learned a reading song.

After that it was on to sessions to learn fun activities we can do at home with our parents to become better readers.

I even got to volunteer as a reader in one group.

It was a fun time with friends and we learned so much!

We even got to play some games.

I love getting to do school stuff. I can't wait to be a big first grader and do even more stuff!

The Last Game by Denny Lynn

We have 8 soccer games in a season. I was assigned snacks and drinks for game 8. I wanted to make ninja water bottles for my Ninja teammates. Mama helped be and we made yellow ninjas for everyone. First we took off the labels.

Next we used black duct tape to make a place for the eyes.

We wrapped around yellow duct tape to make the hood.

Then we stuck on googly eyes to finish.

Nothing like a ninja army!

We were all there for the last game and it was a good one! We ran hard and kicked a lot!

John got mad and didn't want to play. I fell and got kicked in the ear, so I had to come out. John decided he would play the last quarter since I was hurt.

He played great and really helped out the team. After icing my ear I felt better and went back in.

We all had a turn in the last quarter for a great final game!

Then it was time for the final tunnel and snacks!

I think everyone really liked their ninja water.

After the game we went to Chick-filet to celebrate! So much fun playing soccer this season, it was truly a family adventure.

Ag Day by Denny Lynn

We had Ag Day at my school. It was so fun! I got to dress up for the Cowboy contest. Mrs. Tammy let me borrow these chaps that used to be Colton's and they were perfect!

Mama was helping with Ag Day, so I helped her! I was great at pushing the cart to load and unload.

Since my class hatched chicks in the incubator, we all got to present to the other classes. Julian and Rylee were my partners.

We did a great job teaching everyone about the incubator and how chicks hatch.

Then we taught them about the egg - how the chick grows and all the parts. I was really good at teaching. I remembered all the stuff.

I even helped show them on the video how the chick consumed the yolk and has a fat belly when it comes out.

We also hatched quail eggs. The quail eggs are really small with spots on them - I showed them off to the class.

After I taught, I went to the other stations. At Mama's station we made thank you notes for the presenters. I made mine for the tractor club that took us on a hayride.

After all the stations, it was time for the best dressed contest. I waited with my class...

...then we paraded for the judges.

I was chosen as the best Kinder Cowboy!

Then we did the dances we had been learning in music.

It was a really fun day - lots to see, do and learn! We only made it a few blocks before I was asleep in the van. So many exciting things!
