Easter Weekend

This past weekend was really fun because it was 4 and a half days. It was also Easter weekend so that made it special. Thursday was a half day and after school I went to Hayes's house with Ethan, and Kati was going to come later. That day we went to the park, did the polar plunge, and had a lot of fun. Kati didn't come until around 10:00 P.M but we still had a really fun night after she got there. Friday everyone went home. After Jamie got off of work, Mom, Jamie, and I all went to Chillicothe so Jamie could get some Easter stuff. I thought a trip to Chillicothe with just the two of them would be boring, but actually we all had a good time. Saturday we had Easter at my nana's house with my mom's side of the family. It was so much fun! I absolutely love being with my family because we always have a good time and share lots of laughs. We were supposed to have an Easter egg hunt that day, but it got dark before we could have it, so we put it off until the next day. Joey, Olivia, and I stayed the night at Nana's house that night, and Matt and Jamie came back over to her house on Sunday so we could have the Easter egg hunt. I've gotten to help hide the Easter eggs for the past couple years, and this year we had 150 eggs to fill with candy and hide! Needless to say, it took a while to hide and fill them, but it was all worth it because it was fun. Later that day, we had fun dying Easter eggs. Sunday night everyone went home and that night we had a campfire outside. Mom, Dad, and I roasted hot dogs, marshmallows and made s'mores. It was so nice outside! Monday was kinda a lazy day for my family. We were pretty tired from all of the Easter stuff we had been doing, so on Monday we just watched T.V and relaxed. This morning (on Tuesday) I was not ready to come to school because I was sad that our long weekend was over. At least that means the school year is close to being over!

Map Testing

As all of you may know, MAP testing is getting really close. It has already started for some of the classes, but it starts for the 7th graders next week. It is kind of scary because the MAP test is usually pretty hard. For the last two weeks we did Buckle Down in math and we have been doing some review in English. The only good thing about the week (or weeks, I don't really know) of MAP testing is we don't have very much homework. Last year I got advanced on the MAP test, so this year I was part of the group that got to go bowling. Mrs. Burnside takes the kids that got advanced on the MAP test the previous year bowling. Next year she is going to try to get tickets to a Royals game. I think that would be really cool to go to, so I hope I get advanced next year too. I also hope that my whole class gets advanced too because if we all do, then Mrs. Worman is going to take us to Worlds of Fun. It's going to be really hard for all 16 of us to get advanced, but I hope everyone tries their hardest. If we are really lucky, we will all be at Worlds of Fun together!
