For spring break I am in California! I have done some really fun things but the most fun was going to…..Hollywood! I got to go on this really cool tour with my
friends and family and we got to see the official Hollywood sign!!! We also got to see some celebrities houses and landmarks! We saw lots of houses including: Katy Perry’s (Singer), Bruno Mars (Singer),
Justin Timberlake (Singer) Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly Actress),  Magic Johnson’s (Basketball Player), Lucille Ball’s house and more! But all of the houses were covered by some bushes and Justin Timberlake had a
security guard (Makes sense though). I also saw some cool landmarks like the Beverly Hills Hotel and places where they filmed some movies. It was super cool! I really hope that
I can see some more cool things next year!                                       Have you been to Hollywood/California?

A couple days ago it was International Happiness Day! Our school celebrated
it by inviting a author called Linda Cohen. We drew happy sidewalk chalk notes and messages and doodles! We also did a surprise dance party for our counselor Ms. Barber because she was the one who invited Linda Cohen and because she is so nice! Then when we were at at a assembly! Being happy and kind is super important so it is good that we can be able to do it in my school!

Did you know that it was National Happiness Day?

I live in Portland, Oregon and am going to tell you a little about Oregon okay? Well, Oregon’s capital is Salem and that is where some important places are like Willamete University and Corban University. Then there is the smaller city in which I live in called West Linn. Oregon is a green state with lots of beavers! That is why our state animal is the beaver. Our state flower is the Oregon Grape and we have the Western meadow Lark. Here in Oregon we have lots of wildlife and rain. So we can always look out the window and see lots of grass and trees. Below are some of the maine things to do in Oregon and some of it’s landmarks: 

Go Fishing
Ski On Mt. Hood
Go Bird Watching
Visit The Keller Auditorium 
Go To The Oregon Zoo (The only zoo there is)

In school we have been doing a super fun thing! We have been making our own cardboard games and bringing them in. We have gotten so many that we have decided to have a Game day sometime! I have only made 1 game but my friend has made about 4! I think that what we are doing is super fun and our inspiration was a bot named Caine who is 9 years old. He has his own Cardboard Arcade and it is amazing!
I hope you will be inspired to make a creation and see his videos!

In a couple of weeks I am going to California! It is going to be super fun. I have friends that live there and we always
stay with them when we come. They live in LA (Los Angeles) and we have gone to there house many times. I have been to Lego world,
Sea world, Disneyland and the zoo. I think that all the places that we have visited there are all really fun! Plus California is almost always sunny! 🙂 So we will make the most of our time there! I am super excited about it!

Have you been to California? If so, how was it and what did you do?

So, in school we got to try some of these cool visual puzzles. They were pretty hard but we finally got through them! They make your mind boggle and keep you wondering! I got a few by myself like “To kill time”, “Rat race”, Egg on your face” and a couple more! If you ever see something like that, hopefully you won’t get tricked by it! Anyways, I hope you like my post! Blog on!
