Voice Lessons

Today I am going to go get some voice lessons. We are a member of a Home school group. I asked my mom if she could sign me up for voice lessons, so she put a thread on our home school web site to get information about voice lessons. Ten minutes later, four people told my mom that they knew of someone that gave voice lessons.

Therefore, my mom called one of the women and she said she would take me today. Her name is Miss Tessa and I am so excited. The name of the song I am going to sing “Is Open Thee Eyes of My Heart”. The reason why my mom did this is because I have always liked to sing. It has always been fun for me.

A Book Review

I read a book called A Little Princess by Frances Hodges. It is about a girl named Sara who has a very rich dad named Captain Crew. Sara had to go to a school called Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Ladies. The reason why she had to go there is because Captain Crew had to do a very big job. When they arrived, Sara was to have everything she wanted. When Captain Crew left Sara had everything, she wanted. On Sara’s birthday Captain Crew died of a brain fever. Miss Minchin took all of Sara’s presents from her, took all her good clothes, and turned her into a servant. Sara would have to do everything that Miss Minchin told her to do. Miss Minchin would not feed Sara at all. One day Miss Minchin walked in and Sara had food and nice clothes. From a person next door, who saw Sara was being treated badly. Therefore, he gave her meals, clothes, and shoes. When Miss Minchin saw this, she said she was going to call the police and she did call the police. When the police came, Sara was crossing from her houses to her neighbor’s house by climbing on a piece of wood. When she made it to her neighbor’s house, she saw the man who saved her. She and the man lived happily ever after.

I saw the movie version of this and it was good. It was different form the book, because in the book the dad had died, but he did not die in the movie. I liked the movie better.

Home Economics

Today in Home Economics, I baked blueberry muffins.

I had to go shopping. It was very difficult at first, but after I got some help, it was not that hard. There was a woman who helped me a lot to find the blue berries. After she helped me, I was able to do it by myself. I got the batter first then I got the cupcake papers. It was fun.

The measuring was very cool and easy. Measuring the oil was very hard for me because it kept spilling out but that was the only thing that was hard. You have to make sure you do not put too much of the ingredients in the batter because then it will not be good. You have to lay out all of the ingredients before you start cooking. I was scared that I would get burned but I dealt with it. It was very fun.




I have just tasted my muffins they are fabulous! They were very good and I love to cook them.
