What Are Head lice?
Head lice are small, insects without wings, that live on the human scalp (usually on clean heads). They are about the size of a sesame seed. Head lice support themselves by sucking blood, just like mosquitoes do. However, different than mosquitoes, lice are unable to fly or jump from one person to another; they can only crawl. Children usually get head lice from head-to-head contact with other kids, but may also get them by sharing particular items like as hats, scarves, hair ties, headbands and coats. It is also a problem when elementary school kids pile their coats on the floor near the cubbies. I usually put my coat behind my chair. And for parents, remember in the beginning of the school year to check your child’s hair often!

I was never really a big fan of Aly & AJ, but I love this song.

- Aly & AJ Lyrics

In my school, we are having a student council for the first time. The fifth graders can run for president and vice president. The fourth graders can run for treasurer or secretary. The third graders do their own little class president.

I think this was a very good idea to have our own political system because we are close to choosing our own president for the country. This is good for us kids to try to experience voting.

I tried to run for president but I didn’t win. I am happy for the people who might win though because I think they are responsible enough for the job. I am proud of myself for trying though.

I like Cabbage Patch Kids. I have 4 of them. I really want an original one with the soft skin.
Here are some videos and pictures of cabbage patch kids.

In Yorktown Stage Camp this week, we did Peter Pan. It was lots of fun! I’m in group 5 and we got to dance and sing to the songs, “Hook’s Tarantella” (”tarantella”) and “I Gotta Crow”. When we did the tarantella we used REAL swords! Just kidding, they are plastic. We worked hard to learn the songs and dances through the week. But at the show on Friday, right when we got to camp my stomach hurt. I thought it was cause I didn’t eat breakfast so I ate some of the grapes I had in my lunchbox. NOTHING worked! The show started and my throat started hurting when I swallowed. By the second 2:00 show, I had a headache and I felt really weak so I told one of my counselors and she said to tell her when I felt like I was going to throw up or something. I did the first dance and I still felt the same. So I told her that I could not do the second dance. Then I told the Assistant Counselor. Then My head counselor said to me, “Are you sure you can’t do the dance?” Then I just did it. After we left to go home and I went to sleep. Now I feel better!

The Disney Channel Games just showed on Disney Channel last night!!!!

I love Lightning (The Blue Team), not just because they won the first round. I think the people on the team are so awesome and strong. I totally can’t wait until Saturday, for the next game. I will write more on Sunday about the next game!

I got a brand new bicycle! I looked like a giant on my old one! We went to the store and got a Women’s Fuji Odessa 1.0. It is kind of hard in the begining with the gears, but I got used to it the next day. I recommend this bike. If you are a boy, click on this link: Fuji Odessa 1.0. If you are a girl then click on the link before. Every weekend I go on the local trail for 2.4 miles and then back 2.4 miles. If you need a new bike I recommend clicking on the links.

Awww how cute! (I helped make this film)
