Rian

 Meet Rian!

Rian started by telling us she had a few pictures to show us.  She had one of her 'old dog' named Murray.  She told us he died, but she brought the picture because he was her very first dog.

Rian and her sister are having a tree fort built.  She showed us the construction so far...it's framed...and it looks amazing!  One of our Room 5ers said, "It looks like a HOUSE!" 

Next we saw a picture of her sister, Cameron.  She's 8 years old and in Mrs. H's class.  Her shirt, in the pictures says, "Attitude is Everything."  Rian said, "Oh she has a big attitude...she's hilarious!"

 This pic is of Rian and her Great-grandma.  She lives in Virginia but had flown up here from Arizona.

She had a photo of her grandpa who she calls "PopPop."

 This bookmark is in Rian's bag because she loves to read.  She also told us she loves to go to school.

A Smurf was in her bag because it was one of her favorite movies she saw this summer.  There was a little dog that you wind up to do tricks.  She sat down on the floor and demonstrated for us.  She also told us the little dog remiinds her of her dog in Arizona.  His name is Sammy.

Rian had an empty container of lemonade.  She told us she lives near the golf course and she sells the lemonade to the golf course.  Along with this, she had a golf ball.  In addition, Rian told us she likes to golf.  I asked if she was good... "No," she answered.  At that answer, I told her we were two peas in a pod!

 Rian showed us her goggles and told us she loves to swim.  She said because of this, her grandma calls her "Little Fishy.."

Little soda candies were also in her bag.  They're in there both for the fact that she likes sodas and also because they're her favorite candy!  When Room 5 started questioning her about the candy, she told us she bought it at the candy store near the bay.

Rian also likes to make bracelets.  She brought one she made for her mom to show us.

This Giant's lanyard is one she wears when she's home.  Plus, she loves the Giants!!  The lanyard, she told us later, is actually one of her mom's work lanyards!

 After Rian showed us the Bubble Tape, (because she likes to chew bubble gum), she showed us her "Angry Bird."  She said it will split into 3.... 

 Here is a photo of Rian with her Dad and sister.  You can tell they like baseball!

Rian also had a digital video camera.  She told us she likes to take videos...the download them on the internet.  Rian loves to go on the internet!

 When Rian put on her glasses, she told us she likes to dress up and wear weird scarves.  (I love your glasses, Rian!) 

She also showed us some bottle caps that she's collected.  She also likes to put them on necklaces. 

Rian had some little heelys from her American Girl Doll. She likes the American Girl Dolls, but she also likes to skate on her heelys. 

She brought a chocolate chip cookie (and gave a bite of it to her favorite fourth grade teacher!) and told us she likes to bake!  She made these yesterday, but she can't make any more because she spilt all the brown sugar!

A blue crayon was in her bag because she likes to draw...and blue is her favorite color.

She likes to play basketball, and brought a little mini-basketball to illustrate this.  There was also a mini baseball since she also likes baseball and softball.

Wow!  I took over 3 pages of notes on Rian's sharing!  I usually take one page or maybe 1 1/2 pages...but Rian had so much to share...and it was all in her bag!  We loved hearing about Rian and getting to know a little more about her!
