my dog


this is my puppy.

she is two years old and she is a chihuahua.

her name is stella

but shes kinda mean.

well not to me

but to everyone else haha

new week.

helloo.
my name is lexie
this week in geography we have been learning about the genocide that occured in Rowanda, Africa. It was between two ethnic groups. The Hutu and the Tootsies. It was very depressing to learn about the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who were killed just because of discrimination in the world. but it was also inspiring to learn about some of the people who really reached out to help the others in their time of need.

this week in my life i am working harder to prepare for cheer tryouts which are next week. my dog also escaped through a hole in my fence but came back a few hours later. she is very small dog so she can fit through the tinest places. thank goodness she did not get hurt because she is part of the family now. i also have two other dogs (who are very annoying) and a fish that refuses to die. i know i shouldnt want it to die, but i cant help it. i am sick of having a pet fish. they are no fun!

first blog

dear blog.
this is so exciting. this week in geography we are starting a new chapter about AFrica. we have started creating physical and political maps of Africa which we can refer back to during the six weeks. we are also reading packets about the different styles of African art in which they mostly use wood to express ideas and their religion

in my life i am getting ready for cheer tryouts that are coming up this week. i am very nervous. because there are many girls trying out for the team and if i dont make it i will have to take a PE class which is very gross because they will make me run and sweat a lot! next week i will post a picture of me as a cheerleader. good bye for now. ta-ta
