Pseudo SiblingsI am an only child but I have had many “pseudo siblings.” When I was 3 my mom became a nanny for a Jewish family with a 1 year old son, Nathan, soon followed by his brother, Danny, and sister, Alissa. We spent nearly every day with them until I was 7, even celebrating Hanukkah, Purim, and Passover with their family. We are still great friends to this day.Cousins• I have 10 cousins, 5 on each side of the family• Two of my cousins spend nearly every weekend at my house:

My mum’s side of the family

Part of this project was completed in an

empty Dollar General in the mountains of Pennsylvania. My parents and I stopped here on our way to Niagara Falls because my dad had to fix some stuff (he built it). I’m pretty sure none of your other students have ever done homework in an empty Dollar General, which is why I’m mentioning it. My life is so weird and random and that’s all there is to it.

Bibliography

Here is a clip art picture of a Bamboo Steamer. I have no earthly idea why they decided to put THAT in the clip art catalogue, but not some other things I looked for. So that’s why I’m including it in my PowerPoint; because it’s random.
