Website

I have a website!! It is about my family and close friends. Every month a new person is interviewed, and a little paragraph is written about them.  This month, September, the person is Karen, my mom. Next month, it's Ella, one of my best friends. Here is the web address: www.sites.google.com/site/eckbergfamilynews

Clarinet

Hi everybody! Sorry it's been such a long time since the last time I posted. I have been juggling getting ready for school, summer life, and clarinet lessons! I have some concerts coming up, and there are lots of tricky pieces I do for that.

Sorry this is a really short post. There isn't a lot to say about my clarinet. Look for more posts coming up in the future. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe to my blog! Thanks! 

Summer

Hi. It's me. I was just checking in. I know most of you are probably like : "Ugggghhhh.  It's Summer. I just want to sleep in and do nothing all day." I know how you feel. But most summers zoom on by super quick. That's why I'm here. This is my first summer EVER that I get to stay home. In the summers past, we have always been frantic about getting everything set for school. That's why, a few weeks ago, we went school supply shopping. I have always loved being organized, as I said in a different post ( see that here ). In all the past years, we have been racing around last-minute to find boxes of pens and pencils at 24 hour-open stores. Not this year. We went early so we would have time if we missed anything. I hope we didn't!

Sorry for getting my last post out so late. We were having so much fun. Goodbye!

Survey For My Blog

Ask Anything You Want!

Hi. I'm back. I'm tired. My eyelids are saggy and droopy, and my arms don't want to lift. But I want to finish this, because I love blogging, I love sharing my feelings with the world. But this is not
about that, this is about something way more exciting. I did an Ask-Me-Anything Quiz at school yesterday, and I wanted to post this here, well, because, I wanted to. I hope you enjoy!

1. Have you ever sat on the toilet for more than an hour?
Ew, no. But I was on the toilet for 20 minutes because my legs fell asleep. Other than that, no, I haven't. Ew.

2. Who is the one person not in your family that you look up to?
Ellen DeGeneres. She is awesome and amazing.

3. What are you doing this summer?
Nothing much. Probably going to Bay Beach, the NEW Zoo and the Wildlife Sanctuary. Having lots of sleepovers, though! :-)

4. Do you have any pets?
No. So sad. We were thinking about getting one when our cat, Lady, died in the winter. Now that things are warming up a little bit, we might get one this summer. #missyoulady

5. Are you one of the "popular" kids at our school?
I don't hope so. I would like to be seen as the friendly one, the compassionate one, the helpful and respectful one. Popularity doesn't matter to me, and I hope people think that too.


Wait! Before you leave, I wanted to tell you that, if you want, you can ask me in the comments, questions that YOU would like answered. If we get enough comments, maybe I will do a post on that! How does that sound? See you for now!

Middle School

Next year, im going into middle school. I'm so excited! Our class has been preparing for middle school gradually but efficiently. We started by using class planners. Then we had regular cleaning of locker sessions. Now we are taking the pencil cups off the tables, and everyone is in charge of their own pencils. In May we are going to move all of our stuff to our lockers. By the end of the school year, we will be hopefully adapted to the middle school schedule. For now, middle school schedules are the main goal for the end of the year, and you can't get away from it.

Organization

Whoever knows me good, like mom, dad, sister, Ella and Alexis all know how organized I really am. My room is super clean while my sister's room looks like a tornado went through it. Twice. I always get upset when things aren't organized, so I thought I would share my love of organization with everybody. So, anyway, lets get started.

My favorite word is "organized", as pretty much everybody knows. A lot of people often get cleaning and organizing mixed up, so I'm going to quickly explain that.

Organizing is putting books on a shelf, nail polishes in the jar, and games in their cupboard. Cleaning is down-on-my-knees, scrubbing-the-floor, cleaning-toilets-with-toothbrushes cleaning. I prefer organizing over cleaning, because I don't like working. Everybody in our family has their own way of cleaning. I put things in boxes, bins and buckets. Dad likes things everywhere so he can find them easy. Mom prefers cleaning over organizing. Zoe isn't organized at all.

I hope you enjoyed this week's post, and I know it wasn't a Disney Conspiracy Theory like I said it would be, but at least it was a post. Please follow this blog if you're not already, and you can expect more blog posts in the future! :-)

Disney Conspiracy Theories!

I decided it was time to spice things up and add conspiracy theories to my blog. I will have 2 or 3 theories a week, and I hope you enjoy!

The first conspiracy theory is that Andy's mom from Toy Story is actually the former owner of Jessie, the cowgirl doll from Toy Story 2. It starts with Andy's red hat in Toy Story. Jessie also has that same hat in Toy Story 2. Andy got the hat from his mom, and he really enjoyed it.

This next theory most people have probably heard of. It's the Frozen-Tangled-Little Mermaid Theory.  Because some people think that Elsa and Anna are Rapunzel’s cousins, it’s entirely possible that their parents were on their way to Corona for Rapunzel’s wedding when their ship sank. Going even further, some people have questioned whether or not the shipwreck Ariel discovers in The Little Mermaid is actually the King and Queen of Arendelle’s ship. If so, doesn’t that make sense in the beginning of The Little Mermaid?

School

I attend a community school in Wisconsin. I love my school, and all my friends. I am in fifth grade and have had at least 4 teachers this year. Kristy, Kristen, Terry and Dan. Everybody liked Dan because he was a fun teacher, letting us have extra Chromebook time and less math time. He made homework fun, so he was one of the favorite teachers. We had him and Terry each for about a month and a half. We liked Terry because we got to do fun art projects and stuff like Show-and-Share.

Kristy enforces the rules fairly, and with a good pace, too. She rewards the responsible and consequences the irresponsible. Homework is present when Kristy is around. Kristen, on the other hand, is WAY more freestyle, and that can be a good thing sometimes. I enjoy having Kristen as teacher, as well. I'm not the one to pick sides, but I especially like Kristy's teaching style!

Make sure to check back next week (or sooner), because you never know if I publish early! If you would like additional information, please email me (crazydancer95909590@gmail.com) or comment on this blog post! I always comment back!

Ballet

Hi! It's me, Maddie and I am back from a week of break from posting! This week's topic will be about my ballet hobby.

To hop right in, I am a ballerina dancing at the Green Bay School Of Dance. Every year in December, we perform the Green Bay Nutcracker Ballet. The organization that helps put on the show is the Northeastern Wisconsin Dance Organization (NEWDO). The Nutcracker Ballet is usually held at the Meyer Theater in Green Bay. I don't have much information about the Nutcracker, and that's all the info off the top of my head.

I started dancing around age 2 or 3 and I loved it! I stopped for about a year around age 7 or 8, but eventually, I joined back in again. I am a natural on stage and I like making up dance routines to music and performing them in front of my friends and family. I have a wonderful ballet teacher who won't stop until things are perfect. Like he says, " Ballet is simple, there are very few steps and very few rules. It's just all about attitude". I agree! Email me your thoughts on that and don't forget to look forward to my next blog post coming out sometime soon!

Power Kids

I started Tae Kwon Do (Powerkids) about two years ago and we have been going strong ever since. My most recent belt was green-blue and I got that YESTERDAY!(3/30/2015) I am the third highest belt rank in my class, and the top ranking person in our class is a blue belt. there are about 25 kids in the class, but we are always open to new joiners! If you would like out teacher's email please don't hesitate to email me back ( I almost always email back), and I will get our teacher's email address to you. Thanks for visiting my blog, and you can expect to see another one next week!

Ballet to breathing

All my life so far has flown right past me without even my  knowing it. Kindergarten was a mix of temper tantrums and cheese balls, and first grade wasn't any better with pretzel sticks and no nap time.

Second grade was a little better, but by then I was Jealous (with a capital J) of everybody and their friends and their trips everywhere, but I some how got through it and here I am now, sitting at my desk in my room, just a normal fifth grader just done with doing her homework on a normal day in the normal springtime. But all that was about to change. Dealing with bullying at my school was no fun, but it didn't have to be a life sentence ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lm6c1QwcQ68 ).
