My Sister Had Her "Zuckertuten Fest" Yesterday



On August 14th, 2010, Ballston Spa Resident, Maggie Walz, who moved to Dresden, Germany, because of her father’s GlobalFoundries job, participated in the Dresden International School’s Zuckertuten Festival.




The Zuckertuten Festival is where Parents and Siblings go and find toys, Barbies, sugar goods, etc. and put it in a large designed cardboard cone. The parents bring the cone on the day of the festival to the school. The child receives it from their teacher. When the child gets home they open the cone and see what they have & play with it.


The principal gave a short speech about going in to first grade and how much fun they will have. Then the 2 classes/40 kids received their own cone. Then the Primary School teacher asked some of the kids what they were looking forward to in First Grade.


After the festival, the whole school was invited to see their new teacher and their teacher’s classroom. They let everyone play on the playground and had a school fundraiser BBQ. They served wine and beer for adults and juice for kids. They had brotbearts/sausages and kartoffle/poatos.

Going to the Waterpark

Ok, so it was when my Dad came back from Germany. We wanted to celebrate so we went to the Six Flags Great Escape Splash Water Kingdom. So we went to drive there we had to drop off my dog at my Grandmother and Grandfather's house. And then, we went to exit 20 to enter the waterpark. We entered and checked in. Our room wasn't ready so we went shopping for bags and suitcases so when we go to Germany we will have the bags and suitcases. Me and my sister hated the shopping because it took like 2 hours but it felt like 10 hours. When we got our room we un-packed everything and changed into our bathing suites. The waterpark was so fun at first. First, I went to warm-up in the warm-up pool. Next I went into the this group slide. It can go up to 4 people. My Dad and I didn't want to go on it, because that line took so long. We moved into the other line where in takes 2 slides and 2 people at a time. While we were waiting in line me and my Dad saw my little sister and my Mom go down

What Christmas Means to Me and Christmas Day...

Today was one of the best days in 2010 for me, so this is how I will discribe it: I woke up this morning, and then woke up my sister Maggie, in her bed on the bottom bunk. I whispered "Maggie, it's Christmas". She opened her eyes and said "What"? I said " It's Christmas!" In a half whispering and half talking out loud voice. She ran out of bed, and dashed to the living room. I did the samething right behind her. When she saw the living room full of presents, she ohhed, and ahhhhhhed. I said "Go wake up sleppy head Mom and Sleppy head Dad, Hurry!" Maggie dashed back out of the living room, and into Mom and Dad's room. I heard her say " Come on, get up you 2, it's Christmas morning!" Maggie came back into the living room, andturned on the light. I read the note that Santa had wrote for us, which was really nice for him taking the time to write one, escipally on a very busy night. Soon, Mom and Dad(& Toga) were in the
