Tessa Boo

 It's about time that we posted something about our Tessa Boo. Tessa recently studied the Aztecs, the Inca, and the Maya in her History class. Tessa loves History! 
At their new school, instead of having class parties, they have what they call, Culminating Activities. After they spend time on a specific unit, they do an activity to go along with what they have just studied. After learning about the Aztecs, Inca, and Maya, Tessa's culminating activity was soap carving. The Inca were known for their stone carving. Tessa said soap carving must have been as hard as stone carving. She made a beautiful heart and did a great job!
Tessa loves school. She says her favorite thing about school is P.E. and history. She is also learning about performing and Opera in one of her classes. Her class is practicing a play to put on and she will be the Narrator for the story of the Farmer and the Golden Goose, and she will be playing the part of the Dew Fairy in the Opera, Hansel and Gretel. She hates performing for us at home, but she is loving it at school.
She has lots of friends and she is adored by her teachers. She was thrilled to come home on Friday and announce that she was the only one in her Math class to get 100% on their math test!
She is a good little student. She started the Magic Tree House Series about 2 weeks ago and is already on book 7. She loves to read! We are proud of her for doing so well in school!
