My new book and summer soccer

I am so excited. My book of Mario and Tintin that I had worked so hard in the last few months finally came already in the mail. I love opening the package with my brother and sister and my mom. We were so eager to hold that book in our hands. It feels great to have done this project. Also this week started my summer soccer adventure. We usually play soccer in Newburyport teams but in the summer Newburyport doesn't play so we go to Amesbury my brother and I and we play there. I can't wait for the people to fix the bridge that will connect Newburyport and Amesbury so that my mom doesn't have to drive us that far from home for practice and I games.

The settlers

I have been playing a new educational game on my iPad and it has taught me a lot about logic, economy understanding history, culture and people here is the new drawing that I just finished of the settlers.

Beach creativity

I had fun creating these Mario creations while we were at the beach the other day. My brother and sister helped me find sea weed and it sure made my creations look great. Here are the photos that I took of what I created. People walking on the beach kept stopping by and telling me how awesome my work looks. I really loved doing it. Here we go. The pictures will tell the rest of the story.

Ebook about Mario and his team.

I also had a lot of fun creating an e-book about Mario and his friends In it I am describing every single one of the characters that I had drawn and the functions and powers that they have. It was wonderful to see the book after I had drawn and recorded my voice to explain everything on every single page at the end it was wonderful to see it all done and I had published it as an e-books and hope that I can share it with other children that might be interested in learning about Mario and his team of friends.

Mario and TinTin

Mario and Tin Tin are two of my favorite characters right now so one day I decided to write and illustrate a book about a story about both Mario and Tin Tin. It took me about one month to finish my project I worked hard every single day for hours so that I can complete my project. I first had to come up with the story in my head and then I started illustrating and drawing everything by hand with pencil on my desk. Then after I had drawn my illustrations with a black pencil I went into Adobe Photoshop and i use CS three version and I worked hard to add color and background to all of my illustrations. I had to learn to use Adobe Photoshop and all the different tools that go with it I am very familiar with the clone stamp tool and I like using the selection tool I can paint and choose colors for different brushes as well. Then after I had my illustrations all completed I had to go in again in Adobe Photoshop and create all of their words in a cartoon style framework. Then the story started to come together really nice and I edited my work and made sure that I fixed mistakes that I have made as I had typed. Finally I with the help of my dad I sent out the book to be printed and now I am waiting for it to come so that I can hold it in my hands and see the hard work I put into it come to life. It certainly feels great to have finished this project and start a new one now

Bulgarian language again

It has been so much fun to read in Bulgarian with my mom she has found some books on her iPhone which are in Bulgarian and we read them together every day. I especially love beauty and the beast and the one about dwarfs and knights. It is sometimes hard because I can't read them as fast as I can in English but it is also fun to read them in Bulgarian. The Bulgarian alphabet is very different than the English alphabet The Bulgarian alphabet uses Cyrilick letters a lot like Russian so it is different than the English language. I am going to write my own story in Bulgarian this summer and I'm really excited about it I have cousins still in Bulgaria and it is fun to Skype with them and speak the language

My two languages

I have been spending time writing in Bulgarian with my Mom. She was Born in Bulgarian and Speaks Bulgarian to my brother, sister and I. It is great to be fluent in two languages and understand different cultures and customs. My grandparents moved from Bulgaria 5 yrs ago and now live near us and I love to practice my Bulgarian with them. I even translate for them in the grocery store. They don't speak much English. My goal next is to keep getting better at writing Bulgarian and also to learn Spanish. My dad is fluent in Spanish and he is going to teach me. Here is a note I wrote in Bulgarian for the record.

Koopa Troopa and the turtles


I like turtles they're cool and fun.

I have a pet whose name is Todo and he is a painted turtle.

I drew some pictures of turtles and I also drew Koopa Troopa so I could compare the different turtles to Koopa Troopa. 

I think the the mud turtle is the one that looks the most like Koopa Troopa. What do you think ?

Ballista physics

I made a Lego Ballista with my dad from physics workshop
 we did an experiment to see which angle it shot the farthest from and we found out that at the angle 45°
as you can see  at the graph i made below. it started from 0° got higher and higher until it reached 45° then it got lower and lower and it ended at 90°. at the bottom you can see a P3 that means power three we were shooting at power three . at 80° it goes farther if you shoot it at P5  then at P3 56°.

Mario math

Me and my dad learned a lot of math today but not by being given a book and said to read trough it but by a Mario game . What Mario Nintendo ! And learning together !? No no it can't be can it ? O yes it can the game is on paper though not on the Wii here's the set up: first I draw a maze then I put in Mario's enemies . After that I put in coins with ? on them in spaces . And at last I draw Bowser at the end of the maze and Mario at the start here's how the game works:
The coins with ? on them give you hints for the enemy you fight after the that coin the hint is a math fact .That's how the game works here are some pictures of the game I will show you the maze to. Here you go:
