Our end of the year show and bake sale


In Italy at the end of the year we always have a show where every grade does a couple of dances. We practice our steps for weeks before. Last year we did a "Happy Feet" dance in penguin costumes. This year the third graders did a dance with Aladin costumes. The boys wore a vest with no shirt under it because in Arabia it's very hot and we were trying to dress up like Arabians. The girls had costumes like genies.

We did the show twice, once at school and once at Citta Bianca, a rehabilitation center five minutes from here. Last night some students did the dance a third time at Bar Zeppiere, but I didn't go. My cousin, who is in second grade, did a Pinoccio dance.
Mom baked my favorites, chocolate chip cookies, for the bake sale. We put 12 on a plate and wrapped them up to sell. She made about 100 cookies.
Well, today is the day I have been counting-down for...the last day of school! Yesterday they gave us our summer workbook and storybook. I probably won't do much work in them until I return from our vacation in New York. My brain is tired!
