Our News

A singer and I are performing songs by British composers in front of a panel of judges, and they will decide if we get to move on to the next round. We're singing songs all about birds! The first songs are about happy birds, but then in the third song, a bird dies, and then the fourth song is about how the bird will never rise up again in the morning. It gets really dark, real fast. 

What did I read this week?:

I'm reading a biography of Ludwig van Beethoven! Have you heard of him?

Composer. Deaf. He had a temper. He wrote big orchestral symphonies.

Cool guy. It's his 250th birthday this year in December! Mark your calendars!

What games or sports did I play this week?:

I played the sweaty game of "Can I catch my train on time?" I ran as fast as I could through the train station, my face dripping and very red, to try and get to my train on time. Well...I lost the game. I did not get to my train before it left the station. I felt very sad and had to buy another ticket. 

Other news from this week:

There are only about seven hours of sun at the moment. It gets dark so early here! Right around 4:00 PM. When is it getting dark in Ellensburg?
