Skating Test: Monday February 21: Sophie's Blog: Hi, I am back from skiing! I went skiing at Sugarloaf after I was done testing, here is my dramatic story about my test: 7 a.m, My alarm clock rang and I jumped up filled with nervousness and excitement. Sadie was here, we both got ready in the short time frame we had, jumped out the door, and got into the car to go skating. Once we got into the rink, I was even more excited. I quickly got my skates on and jumped on to the ice as if it was heaven. We had show rehearsals and I had a great time. But once I stepped off the ice, I felt like a super hero, stopping once to get a grilled cheese, thanked Emma for getting it for me, and rushed in to the locker room where I changed and got my hair and makeup done. After that was done I rushed on to the ice again for another rehearsal and then jumped in to the car for testing. I was watching clue on the way up, it calmed me down. I got in to the rink ready for warm up AND ROB WASN'T THERE! Sadie and Caroline surprised me by showing up early to watch and support me, but how could I test without a partner, which is my coach. I got on for warm up, Rob wasn't there! My heart was pounding, What was I to do but skate. Skate like it was the only thing that would save me, skate like it was everything I cared about. I was about to go on and Rob surprised me, by showing up, taking his guards off and hoping on to the ice. I did great on both my tests! But I still was nervous about passing them. Connie said it was not likely, which put my hopes down. I went up to Rob who was smiling to himself and looking at papers that looked like test sheets. When I got up to him he said I didn't pass. But I looked at the papers myself and realized… I DID!!!!!! It was an amazing adventure and I am so proud of myself. Off to Sugarloaf from there! J
Skiing with cousin at Sugarloaf for school vacation week: Sophie's Blog: Off to Sugarloaf from there! That is exactly what I did! Amanda, Ben, and Connie were coming skiing with me. We stopped to get a quick a quick bite at Applebee's where we all played hangman. Then Connie and I went in Emma's car where we finished watching Clue and started watching grease. We got to Sugarloaf, WOW IT IS BIG!!! We went in the pool, watched T>V and went to bed. The next morning I stayed at the condo while A,B, and C went to get their rental equipment. Andy came back for me, and we rode up Snubber chairlift from the condo. We got there perfect timing with A,B,C, and E ( Amanda, Ben, Connie, and Emma!) And went to Whiffletree, skied 2 runs, and then went inside for hot chocolate and donuts! We skied the rest of the day, and Wednesday. I did school each days too. Well anyway….I HAD A BLAST! J

Eyes, Nose, & Ear Poem
The eyes nose and ears
Don't give me fears
But they appear
On everyone's face!
The part of the eye that's cool
The vitreous humor, the jelly like pool,
And photocepters which turn light into
Electrical signal receptors!
The smallest bones are in your ear.
The ossicles, the hammer, anvil, and stirrup are near
They're close to your eardrum—
You shouldn't fear them!
Nasal cavities are cool, don't you agree?
I've got a nasal bone septum in me
They are both in the nose
They can help you smell a rose!
