What we did today is exercising. We did 6-point push ups. 1) First, you squat down on your feet and then you put your hands on the floor. 2) And then you get your feet out. 3) And then you push up. 4)
Then push down. 5) Then, you get back on your feet. 6) Then you stand up. That was the 6-point push ups.
I love fruits and vegetables because they are good for you. We tried some eggplant. We tried mango. We saw the jackfruit. We tried cantelope. We tried temptation melon. That's all.
How to do the reach throughs. 1) First, you're standing up. 2) And then you take your hands and then you open your legs open. 3) And then you put your hands through your legs. 4) And then you can feel the pain.

muscles
What we did today is exercise and exercise on the ball.
We had exercise on weights. We had chicken wings, popcorn, and some potato chips.
CJ had a question. It was... How do weights make your muscles get big?
The answer is when you use weights, stress comes into your muscles. Stress is telling your body to make more muscles.
I am now the expert on weights and nutrition.
why do we sweat?
The process of sweating is due to the small struture in our skin.
The sweat evaporates into our skin to cool us down.
I learned this by looking up the question.
I like to exercise.
The question that Miss Wyshina and I had to answer was....Why do we exercise every day? We looked it up on the internet and it said that it helps us look better and feel better.
We exercised today and and played the Blast Off Game. Miss Jasmine taught us a new muscle to workout, the tricep.
Miss Janet taught us how to upload the pictures from the camera.

The Healthy Program
As you can see, I am in a very good camp. I love it. It is the best camp I ever been to. I love everyone in this camp. It is fun at this camp. It's beautiful. I have been here for 5 years, if I'm not mistaken. All my life I loved this program. It's the best.
I researched that fruit makes your muscles bigger when you eat it when you first wake up and 30-60 minutes before you work out.
Today I learned how...I'm learning how to do new exercises and I'm learning new information about eating more fruits and vegetables and don't be hanging around the wrong people because it's wrong. They're going to end up in jail and you're going to go with them and you go somewhere safe at night. They are a lot of people that be outside when curfew has passed. Security be searching. Those who don't think that they can't go to prison, they are wrong.
Today my favorite thing was to do new exercises and log on to search for stuff and I had fun today.

Field trip at UT Arlington
Today, I read the ASA blog, and I was amazed at how each child response to the field trip was different. What I noticed during the tour was how attentive Jordan Warren was the entire tour. He always full of surprises. He journeled, asked questions and even took some great shots, so did Ms. Keilani.
I really enjoyed the trip, I had never been to their campus so it was an adventure for me. I too learned how the different exercise machines work and what parts they help you work on. I especially liked the treadmills that they have and the walking loop. I am not too fond of weights. What made the tour go well was the fact that we had an excellent tour guide by the name of Mr.Darrell, he was very informative. I feel that this program is going to very beneficial in the long run, which is the goal that we set out to achieve.

Another budding photographer!
I really enjoyed watching Ladarrius be the photographer today. He seemed to really take his role to heart. I watched him crawl under the table and lay down on the floor to get an interesting angle on a photo. Then I watched him get up, walk across the room, and climb over a chair in order to get closer to the subject.
I hope you enjoyed your job, Ladarrius. You did a really good job!
The field trip was fun

Kudos to Ms. Sylvia!
I have to give Sylvia her props! After many months of working toward a "Grand Opening" of our new Educational Outreach Center in Turner Courts, Ms. Sylvia is the one who brought it all together.
Sylvia solicited a donation of a comfortable chair from Lori Cullom (Turner Courts resident, friend, and new cook for the After-School Academy), then pulled together a lamp and table and carpet to create a homey little corner so that adults could read, relax, and enjoy the Community Room. Sylvia also arranged for a friend and former co-worker from Eastfield College to be available to talk to people about college and job opportunities.
As I sat to the side and watched and listened, Sylvia welcomed people in explaining the different job openings she has posted, they opportunity and resources to write a resume, the internet capabilities, the opportunity to hang out and read a book or bring children to read a book...and she asked for and is open to new suggestions in case there is something missing.
If you have any suggestions, let Ms. Sylvia know!
I look forward to seeing how it all develops.

Art Show
Congratulations to the After School Academy for a successful art show on Friday. All the art and photography pictures found a home to go to. This was my first year being a part of the art show and I really enjoyed myself. The kids had a ball. At first they sat and watched different people bid on their pictures, then after a while of watching they began to walk around introducing themselves as well as their portraits. How smart is that!!!!!!!!!!!!
I look forward to many more art shows in the upcoming years.

Project SEE Award
Recently, the ASA received an e-mail from Jennifer Stimpson. She is one of the organizers that worked with the sixth graders at UTD in science. She was letting us and the teens who participated know that the project SEE committee was awarded Committee Of The Year by the sorority chapter. Ms. Stimpson also stated that she could not host the program without our kids. Now!! That was a nice thing to say. Our kids at the ASA work very hard in whatever they do. SO, congrats to Ms.Stimpson and her committee for this special honor. I also want to thank them for sharing the good news with us. She could have just accepted the award and moved on, but she kept us in her heart and felt that we should know. "That means that our kids finished with honors. "
Way To Go !!!!! sixth graders.

"The Pledge"
No, not the one we all know... ("I pledge alligiance to the flag of the United States of America...")
Every day at the After-School Academy, we have a special time called "Group Time" when we all come together for announcements, "shines" (recognition of good behavior or special accomplishments), review of the word of the week, and "The Pledge."
This is something I find so meaningful; I wish I had heard it when I was these' kids' age! I hope they appreciate it ... and that it makes a difference in their lives, somehow or another.
The Pledge
I pledge alligiance to myself
and who I want to be,
'cause I can make my dreams come true
if I believe in me.
I pledge to stay in school and learn
the things I need to know
to make this world a better place
for kids like me to grow.
I pledge to keep my dreams alive
and be all I can be.
I know I can, I know I will
'cause I believe in me.
