Greek Independence Day Parade

Today, Greek Independence Day, me and my family went marching in the parade . The parade went up fifth avenue. Our group's name was :
Greek Solidarity Network, we also had a group number that was one-hundred and ten. Then a lady came up and screamed in the leaders face.It took THREE HOURS till our turn.

There was a fifth grader holding a sign that said " Robin Hood was right." I asked myself what had Robin Hood done that made him say that? Later, I found my answer "He took the money rich people stole from poor people and returned it."

I was holding a big blue banner that  four people needed to hold and said " Solidarity with the people of Greece.WE ARE ALL GREEKS."

So many people watched, I felt like THE WHOLE Greece was watching me. Soon, I felt like I was walking THE WHOLE Greece.

Beauty & The Beast At PS9

Today, I was at after school and my teacher, Lesley, said "Do the yogis want to go to see "beauty & the beast"?" Everybody said yes. So we had yogurt with strawberries, bananas and chocolate. At four twenty we went to see the play.

When we got there quietly, we sat down and watched. It was about a girl named Bell who didn't want to marry Gaston. But one day her father, Maurice got trapped in the castle of the beast. She had to find a way to free her father and not marry Gaston. The problem was she did not know what to do. The solution was that she gave herself to the beast instead of letting her father die. And she fell in love and broke the bad spell. My favorite character was Chip because she was hilarious.

We had to leave early because Lesley had a child that had to catch a flight but the play was a lot of fun.
