American Girl Program at the Library (Shaila)

I did a American Girl Program yesterday. It was a lot of fun! It was about a Hawaiian girl named Nanea. She was alive when a war began when Japan attacked them. She was going out to do a bike ride with her friends when she saw airplanes that had a symbol that did not look like the normal Hawaiian symbol. Then she heard bombing. She eventually found out that her school that she absolutely loved was bombed. It is an amazing story! She has a older sister and an older brother. Her older brother was the oldest in the family (of the

kids).  Then came her older sister, and then her. She was the youngest in the family. She had two best friends. Her Dad called all three of them the three little kittens. We made Hula dancing skirts ( and necklaces) and ate Jello! The Jello was really good! Oh and the lady, Ms.Teresa, showed us some Hula dancing! That was a lot of fun! I love going to those American Girl Programs!

American Girl Club (at my Madison Library) by Shaila

Hi. My American girl club that I go to at my library is a lot of fun! They do one every month. The person who does it is really nice! First what we do is talk about the American girl that we are talking about and we tell our names to each other, and our dolls names. Then we talk about the book and then watch a short clip of the movie about the American girl. The American girl that we did this week was Grace, we watched a short clip of the movie, Grace stirs up success. What you do before you go to the club is you either watch the movie about the American girl or read the book. Then you go to the club. After we talk a little bit about the American girl, we do a fun game that the person who is doing the program sets up. For my club, the person usually sets up two games. Then we have a snack and do a project. If you have the American girl doll that we were going to talk about, then you can bring her if you want to. You can also bring another doll that you have. I love all of the American girl clubs! I usually bring my doll. I love my doll! I play with her a lot. My baby twin brothers like her too! Her name is Miriam. I have a lot of doll clothes from when my older sister Siobhan was my age, she had a few kinds of dolls when she was my age. She had a doll where you could give water, and if it got too much you would actually have to change it. My sister is now in college and she is 19. I gave her a graduation present, it was a Madeline doll! She still has it on her desk. My Grandma and Grandpa got me the doll that I have now. Her hair is a little messy now, because sometimes I forgot to brush her hair! But that is alright, I can still do hair styles on it, it is also very long. Her hair is blond like my hair, and it is long, like my hair. The only difference is she has green eyes and I have hazel eyes. Well I think that is all for now, Bye.
