School school school

Welcome to IS 141 Q

School school school! 

I love school.
How about you?
So much to learn and study, and new friends as well.

Well, with all the homeworks and endless reading :), school can be overwhelming.
But I do enjoy it as I meet wonderful teachers, great friends, a lot of new knowledge and skills and more. There will always be something new every day.

As I have finished my 5th grade in PS 122, I moved to IS 141 in Astoria.
I really love my class. 
We are part of Jewel class under the supervision of Ms. Williams.
My home teacher is Ms. Trotta and she is super nice.

Welcome to IS 141 Astoria

Now that I have moved to Indonesia, here are some photos my mom took in my beloved IS 141 Astoria as I enjoyed my days as the 6 grader.

Got the award, yeah..

With mama :)

Receiving the award on my 6th grade :)

My mom kept taking pictures wherever we go.
Well, I guess that's what moms do, right.
They just don't want to miss the moments.

I have to admit I miss my friends, my teachers and my schools there in NYC.
There are so many differences from our school there and here in Indonesia and my sister and I continue to adjust ourselves.
It was not that easy in the beginning but now we get used to it.
I know now that wherever you go, the school will always wait for you and you just need acknowledged the fact that life will always be changing.
We need to be flexible and try to do our best.

How about you?
Do you like your school?
What's your favorite subjects?

I'm back!

Lampung, our home town in Indonesia :)

Woaaah...
It's been a looong time since my last blog!
Apologies, everyone...being an IS student is not that easy obviously.
Tons of homework, endless reading, volunteer works and socializing seem to be overwhelming but I kind of enjoying it up until now :).
Well, school is cool as always but I do have busy days.

And a lot of things have been going in between.

We have crazy winter in  NYC, even up until April it's still cold.
My sister and I are back to watching Pokemon series, after finishing Teen Titans Go and Gumball.
I have finished reading the whole series of Percy Jackson (he's super cool! try to read the books!) and now I started reading the Kane Chronicles, from the same author (Thanks mom for convincing me how cool it is, reminding of our trip to Egypt back in 2010)
I also joined the Honor Roll Society *yeaaaah and will join the trip to Philadelphia with my friends in May! How cool is that :)

My mom bought me Pokemon Ball from Japan :)

And we are heading  back to Indonesia this summer.
I feel sad already :(.
I mean, it's a mixed feeling.
I love staying here in NYC but I now we have to move back, just like what happened to us after staying in Geneva, Switzerland, for 4 years.

But hey...Indonesia is super cool and the weather is always nice!
So we can make up the lost spring and summer there :)
Can't wait to go to the beaches as well in Lampung, our hometown.

Anybody wants to join me swimming here!

But now, I think I can start sharing some more stories and photos!
You know how my mom loves taking pictures soooo much LOL.

I don't mind going back to Bali, Indonesa, with  my family :)

So, see you on the next post!

G.R.A.D.U.A.T.I.O.N

The time has come!

We finally finished our 5th grade.
That means we finished our elementary school here in NYC.

It has been such a wonderful experience for me.
I learned a lot!
I love my friends and my teachers.
I love the school and all its staff.
I love my trips.
I love everything.

It was a bitter sweet feeling when we realized that we had finished our days on the fifth grade.
Exciting for the summer break.
Sad that I won't meet some of my friends.

Well, some of them go the same IS with me.
But it's going to be different.

On the Graduation Day, my mom and my dad came.
They lined up early in the morning to get good seat.
They brought me balloon and dancing owl.
Rad!

We also had the farewell for Mrs. Sabel, our principal!

She is such a wonderful principal and we all wish her all the best.

thank you Mrs. Sabel.

I was surprised when they called me to the podium and I was awarded with State of New York Attorney General Award for Triple C Award, Commitment, Character, and Courage.

It has been a great experience.

Thank you to all my teachers and friends.
Everyone in PS 122.
My family as well!

And all the best for 6th grad!

The Tests

Something special came in April.

Can you guess what it is?

It's the tests.

ELA and Math tests.

For two weeks we would be having these tests at school.

For me, it would be the second time.

Last year, I had it for the first time.
in 2014, I didn't have it because it was the first year that I came to school in NYC 

I think I can do the test.

Well, at least I tried to answer all the questions. 

Mama and Bapak gave me a lot of extra exercise before the test.
I guess it helped.
At least I can try and get used to the test.

Even though the paper said that your child needs to rest and not study,
and I lost all my TV and video game time!

The questions on the test were not that hard,
but the only thing I hated was the article.
It was long and sometimes it has difficult words.
I hope I made a good mark for it :).

The good thing is, after the test we will have spring break!
That means holiday, yaaay.

But in the spring brake we went to Canada and its
kind of boring, at least I made it.

I will tell you more on the next post, okay.

Hope you all have a great break as well!

Trombone, anyone..

Hi there...

It has been a while I didn't write my story here :)

I just joined the school band.
And guess what..
I choose trombone :)

Yeaaah..trombone..

I just like to play it.
It looks cool.
But it's not that easy at all, hahaha..
you have to know how to put it in your mouth.
Then you do it by blowing the air from your tummy.

Mr. Blake teaches us how to blow it right.
And I keep practising at home.

We have our winter concert as well.
And I will continue practising until I get better and better.

Wish me luck :)

When I was a little...at L'arc-en-ciel, Geneve

Mama found the photos when I was a little.

Not too little..
But when I was in Geneve.
When we were in Geneve.

I was 4 years old at that time.
Coming to school at L'arc-en-ciel.
Mama said that means rainbow.

I have many friends..

They come from different countries.
It was fun.

We learnt together, ate together, sang together.
My teachers were Ms. Patricia, Anouk and Martine. You see them on the photo.

When it was the last day of my class because I had to go back to Indonesia, they gave me a special book.




It was filled with my works, photos and my friends as well as my teachers' works as well. 

I love it.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Do you like your school, too?
