RIFLE! RIFLE! RIFLE!

It has definitely been a while since I last blogged. On Thursday I had HHS Color Guard practice. We learned a few tosses and moves with RIFLES!!! At first, I was terrible, but I got better at it as time passed. Everyone did. Rifles are just sooo cool. The ones we toss are white. By our next practice we have to know how to do 8 spins in a row! And one single toss (I already can do that). I practiced at the park for a while the other day, and some lady with kids asked if I would perform for them, so I just showed them a few things with my FLAG b/c that's what I'm good at. She then asked if I would do something with the rifle so I showed them. Good thing they don't what is the right way to catch a rifle, because I totally messed up and they didn't even know!

VIVE LA FRANCE!!!

WOO HOO!!! Today was Cinco de Mayo, and our school has a competition between the Foreign Language classes. There is a Trivia Challenge that asks a bunch of questions about the Spanish culture, the French culture, and the German culture. There is a Physical Challenge where you had to put on this apron and weave back and forth between benches while holding a tray with a glass of water and a water bottle on it. It was a relay so four people from each language had to participate each time. Then, after school, there was a Scavenger Hunt. My French class did awesome; we had 98% on the Trivia when the Spanish class we were against had 58% and we won in our Physical Challenge. That was only my class though. After school we had to choose teams that are the same language as you and we got questions in our language (which was French) to answer. My team got second, but the team that won first were French. Time for the overall score:
4th place - Galve's Spanish (Red Team)
3rd place - Lambson's Spanish (Green Team)
2nd place - German (Yellow Team)
1st place - FRENCH!!! (BLUE TEAM)

We were uber excited since we won TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!
It was so much fun.
