Thalia's first post

Hello everyone! Today Thalia (me) will be writing about my first 2 weeks of school! (and other things that are exciting)

this is my friend, Elisa

On the first day of school it was a little tough, but I made 3 friends; Regina, Elisa, and Antonella. Then on the second day of school I met Danna and Isabella. The first class of the day is English, and it is stuff that I learned in, like, kindergarten ha ha. And in the school, there is a ballet class that I am taking. It is really, really easy and kind of boring, mainly because I

have been training in ballet for almost 5 years, so to give a bit of a challenge, in addition to doing the class in school, I am doing a more professional dance school. It is 3 classes a week. 2 of the classes each week are ballet, and the one on the weekend is jazz and gymnastics!

My class - Grupo 4A de Primaria at Instituto San Felipe - at Jafet's party

But, back to school...Today, we had the first birthday party of the year! It was super fun, and Mami insisted that I be a spy and report back on everything that happened because my birthday is the next birthday so we need to now what to do, what the food is like, etc. One really fun Mexican tradition is the mordida tradition! How it goes is everybody chants mordida! mordida! mordida! then the birthday girl/boy goes to morder the cake, and the mom/dad/whoever pushes the birthday kid's face into the cake!! By the way, if you were wondering, mordida means bite! so anyway, after the face gets pushed into the cake, their face is covered in frosting!!! And most kids even bring presents to school! But what seems like a mexican thing is that it is very rude to open presents at the birthday party.

My favorite subjects in school are math, Spanish, and history!

I'm going to sign out now because I'm getting tired of writing.
Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
