Imaginative Arts

 This week for vanguard we are experimenting with art for the subject is, Imaginative Arts. I'm excited, Sister Bates teaches the class and she does a good job! I think its my favorite subject. We do art projects and we learn about music (sometimes we get to PLAY the music!!!!!!!) I really love vanguard so I will let you know how well this class goes!!! Here are some beautiful art pieces.

The Paper Route

I am a paper route carrier

Unfortunately this picture is not at all what its like...

First of all the time is wrong instead of 8:30 Its more like 5:45

Second, there is no one outside waving to me, probably because its 5:45

So basically its a lot colder, darker, and that bag of hers looks way too light!!

This is the bag I use... that circle in the middle is where my Head goes the flaps go on either side, front and back. The papers size's are whatever they are usually Sundays is HUGE! and Mondays is small, Thursdays are BIG but not as BIG as Sunday...

The paper comes at like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.... wouldn't want THAT job ;-)

It comes in a big stack that is called "The Bundle" I don't know if you can see in this picture but there is a blue cord thingy around the "Bundle" and its there every day.....

There is a paper that comes on top of the bundle called "The Bundle Top"(Huh! Imagine that!) It tells us who stoped, who's on vacation, who started, etc...

Happy Columbus Day!

Leadership

Remember five posts ago I said "to be  continued" (about leadership?) Well here it go's....
Today in Vanguard we had a class on Leadership (Its called leadership accadamy, well, I LOVED IT!! It was so awesome! Everyone shared some great insights and I go to share my poem (see on "The Blog of Random Poems") I Learned a-ton! We were talking about (Be it true or false) We think we will be able to talk spirit, to spirit, in Hevean, Which is why we need to control our thoughts down here on earth so we can still be in control of them in Heaven....just thought that was an interesting thought! In Vanguard we learn to become leaders, (because in public school there learning to be followers).

Speech and Debate class (again)

I'm liking the speech class, well so far. I'm still not sure what I think about the "tournaments" that we do, my first tournament is on November, 2, 2012. I'm so nervous I don't think I'll like it. But all well! There are 9 or 10 kids in my class, (including me), there are 4 girls and 5 or 6 boys. I think this class makes me hate debate even more! But I'll try to become better ;-). I'll let you  more later!

Sunshine

Sunshine
Websters dictionary 1828
"The light of the sun, or the place where it shines; the direct rays of the sun, or the place where they fall."
Thesaurus
Sunlit, Sunshiny, Smiling :), Bright, Radiant.
My thoughts
Sunshine is bright, It is a light from the sun which is so bright we can't even look at it. When Joseph Smith describes the first vision he says "There was a light directly over my head, and its brightness was above the noon day sun" the "noon day sun" is really bright! But If Heavenly Fathers light is brighter then the noon day sun . . . it must be pretty bright! That reminds me of a primary song "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" according to our Thesaurus sunbeam is just another way of saying sunlight!
The Prophets words
We can turn from the paths which would lead us down and, with a song in our hearts, follow a star and walk toward the light. We can quicken our step, bolster our courage, and bask in the sunlight of truth.

Mac and cheese, Piano and Choir!

The piano group I am in is called MAC and CHeese!! Which is why I have two pictures above(well I really have three :)), One of Mac and cheese and one of a piano! My Piano teacher Is also my choir teacher! I Love Music! Our choir group is all home schooled and I know everyone who is my age. My piano group Is interesting, the way we're taught is called simply music. I believe that it started in Australia, and has grown over the years. The "group" I'm in is called like i said "MAC and CHeese" There are 4 girls in it Me, Annabannana, Snickerdoddle and KittyKat. My name starts with M so I'm the M in Mac, Annabannanas name starts with A so shes the A in mAc. Snickerdoddles name starts with C so she is the C i maC. And KittyKats name starts with CH so shes the CH in CHeese. (We came up with the name :)).
