Kaelia has really enjoyed her new school this year and loves being a part of the oldest grade in the school. She has taken on a few leadership responsibilities such as a bus walker where she greets a preschool student from the bus and walks him to class before school.
Kaelia has also participated in several different performances this year. For the Chinese New Year celebration, she was one of only a few 5th graders chosen to perform the lion dance for the school. Kaelia was very excited that she got to play the part of the lion's butt; she is the student waving the tail at the back of one of the red lions.
Then Kaelia joined a special choir that was open to older elementary students. They met during lunchtime and gave a final performance at a fancy international-themed gala about diversity at a hotel.
Finally, Kaelia was a part of the elementary school play where she helped write a script and song and performed in front of the school at an assembly. The play was called Hairum Scarum, and it was about different princesses or famous females who end up in a hair salon together. She did a great job playing Goldilocks who was hiding in the salon because she was wanted for trespassing in the three bears' home. It was pretty cute. The film of the play is not great, but here is the link to watch.
