Orange Belt!

Today was my test to see if I was ready to bet my orange belt. First we had to show our teacher that we had correct form and knew some of the blocks and punches.

Then, we all had to go up to the teachers and answer some questions.
After we answered some questions our teachers wanted to see if we had enough courage to break a board. Here's a video of me breaking a board!

I even got to keep the board that I broke!
Then, Master Steefel said I passed my test and he gave me my orange belt.

I love karate. I've been practicing and working very hard to get my orange belt.

Our Art Project

The wall in our hallway was boring! So, we decided to make some art to hang up.

My mom went to the store to get canvases and paint. I helped her paint. I had to be very very careful. But, my mom said I did a good job!
Then, Dad helped us hang them all up in our hallway. Can you tell what they are?
They're all the states my family has lived. Oklahoma is my favorite state that I've lived in, but I love to visit Iowa!

Meet Fletcher!

At Christmas I went to Build-A-Bear and made my new friend Alvin. You know, from the Chipmunks. Well, the other day I decided to change his name to Fletcher! I just like that name. Then, my mom made Fletcher's shirt with a big "F" on it instead of an "A".

Music Program

Today my class had a music program at school. My mom and dad got to come listen to us sing songs for President's Day and Valentine's Day.

Here I am playing an instrument during a song.
We sang songs like Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me...

You Are My Sunshine...

And Skinamarinkadink...

I had a lot of fun at my music program!
