Welcome to Aashi's Amazing Album!

My name is Aashi, and I am a third grader in Mrs. Yollis' class. I am so excited to start learning through blogging with you! I welcome everyone to my blog, and I look forward to everyone's participation in sharing knowledge, facts, thoughts, and opinions. I remember my granddad  once told me  "Knowledge when divided (shared) gets multiplied".

 I am a fun-loving person and  my hobbies are singing, dancing, and reading. Lately, my favorite book series are The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner and American Girl by a multitude of authors. My favorite American Girl authors are: Laurence Yep, Valerie Tripp, Megan McDonald, and Kathleen Ernst. I like to read the genres historical fiction and realistic fiction. I usually like to sing along when my favorite songs play at home or in the car. When I'm in a playful mood, I'd usually turn on some songs on my mother's phone and dance to the music. I love to choreograph  dance steps on my own and also with my friends, and I sometimes teach my two-year-old sister dance steps to her favorite songs. I take classes on an Indian classical dance called Kathak. Kathak is one of my favorite dance types, and I do practice Kathak during my free time.

This is my two year old baby sister, Aarna! She is a very sweet, curious, and sometimes naughty baby. Aarna  is very adorable, but sometimes gets a little annoying. Aarna can talk on and on, and to me it feels like forever. My little sister is very helpful to me most of the time. She often acts funny and silly to gain my attention and  tries to act  like me and my mom. Aarna  tries to imitate me as if she is my age. When someone gives her something, she tries her best to divide it between both of us. Many people like to play or talk to Aarna, and I think she's getting very famous.  : P

Most of my family is born in India, and a lot of my extended family including my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins are spread around different cities of India. Everyone in my family speaks or understands India's national language, Hindi. I visit India almost every year, and I have a lot of fun with my family there. The one way flight trip to India normally takes almost a full day and few hours from here, and so I am always both anxious and excited to travel to India. India has many glorious cities and landmarks to visit. During my last few trips that I remember, I went sightseeing, had a blast at many weddings and wore traditional Indian attires, and visited my cousin's friends.When I go to my grandparent's house and take early morning walks with my grandma, we normally see a lot of peacocks wandering here and there in the gardens. The peacock is the national bird of India.


What are your hobbies?

Do you have family in a different country? 




I hope you enjoy Aashi's Amazing Album!
