Singing a song for a cultural program

There is a cultural program on May 24, 2009. I am going to sing a song in a group in the program. The peoples who are going to sing the song with me are Ruby, Rosie, Roz, Salina, Slesa and Monee. Those are the peoples I know but there are some few more peoples in the group. I will ask their names next week. Every week we practice the song together. Prajwol uncle plays a black guitar for the song. Sugandha uncle plays an orange guitar for the song too! And baba plays tabalas. The tabala is a drum a Nepalese drum. My sister wants to sing the song too but I am worried she will mess up in the program. I wish she could be included in the song. Here is a small video of our song practice.

Field trip to Museum



My class and I went to the Laurel museum on April 21, 2009.  We learnt that in 1950s peoples used a big big pot to wash themselves.  They get water from the river. The river was so deep where people can swim. People use the big pot to get water from the river. Then peoples put it in the fire place. The water slowly warmed up. When the water was hot then they took a bath. But still they did not smell good. So they had a little bag of good smelly things like perfume and they put the smelly objects in there chest or under there shirt. Then their whole body had good smell. That is what I learned about the life of people in 1950s in the museum.

The Movie night

On April 10, 2009 I went to my friends house. Her name is Cheyenne. We both waited for Angel because she was coming too. While Angel came we wore stickers. We gave Angel one too. After Cheyenne’s father came back home, we went to see a Hannah Montana movie. Hannah Montana is Millie. The movie ended at 6:30 pm we then went to a new park. We played there on marry go round. It was fun at the park. We went home to eat dinner. For dinner we had cheese burger, pizza and French fries. For desert we ate cake. It was yummy. Angel’s mom came to pick her up. Cheyenne and I played hand paint. We got paint on our feet, face and hands everywhere. We washed our self up later on. Cheyenne and I wrote our names on a paper and then we put glitter on top. We hung it in Cheyenne’s room. Cheyenne gave me a birthday present. I liked them all especially the tooth brush. I was not able to invite my friends in my birthday because it was on weekday. My mom came to pick me up late. My Dad, Mom and Sister went to Jayaswor uncle’s house. I missed Jayeswor uncle and family including Roze didi. We went home we brushed our teeth and went to bed but I was remembering all the fun of the day until late night.

The paper boat

I made a paper boat today. I looked in a book to make a paper boat. I am going to show you the steps of making the paper boat. I made it by folding a rectangle shaped piece of Origami paper. Origami is the Japanese word. My Japanese friend Shion gave me an Origami book and two packs of Origami papers. I like the Japanese art of Origami. Please look at the pictures that I took so you could understand what I did. After the paper boat was ready I put water in the sink of my bathroom and closed the drain hole. Then I put the paper boat on the water of the sink. I was curious about it. I was happy because it floated. I was not happy because my sister threw the paper boat away soon after.

The amazing growing creatures

I got a toy that has a frog and a lizard. I got this toy on March 2, 2009. My dad bought it for me at Target shopping center. My sister gave the toy to me as my birthday gift. I opened it on March 3, 2009 and then I put the toy in a bucket. I also put water inside the bucket. The toy lizard and frog were growing each day. I measured the size of the frog and lizard everyday. I took pictures of them too and I also marked dates on the pictures. They kind of looked like real animals. Today, I am showing you the pictures of the lizard and the frog how they grew up. You will see they were so tiny in the beginning. In the middle they looked like kids. They looked like adult after few more days.

It stopped growing after March 11, 2009. After it was grown up, I took them out of the water. The grown up lizard and frog shrank again slowly. Playing with this toy was a lot of fun.

A Toucan

A toucan lives in the rain forest. He has a long beak. His beak is the mix of red, green and yellow color. Today I am going to tell you how to draw a toucan. Please click on the "play" button of the video below to see how to draw a toucan. I hope you can draw one too! I learnt to draw a toucan in my class. It was not so hard to draw a toucan. I wish to visit a rain forest to find a toucan in real.


I was not able to put my blog on Saturday and Sunday because I was busy helping my mom and my father to put up the decorations in my home. We put up balloons, flowers, ribbons, and paper lanterns on walls and ceiling. I brought the stuffs like tapes, scissors, balloons, and strings for my mom. We were decorating the room for celebrating my birthday. It was not my actual birthday. My actual birthday according to Nepalese calendar was on Tuesday. But we invited Roze didi, Slesha nini, Pawan mamabaje, Maiju, Jayeswor Uncle, and also Aunts on Sunday.
