I'd like to share with you my essay on why "It's Cool to be Kind." On Tuesday, my Mom told me the Bloomington animal shelter had an essay/poster contest for Be Kind to Animals week. Only problem was it was due Wednesday. So I had less than a day to work on it before my mom took it to the shelter. Today my mom saw on Facebook the animal shelter had put my essay up as one of the winners. If I get the grand prize, someone would come to my class to give a presentation. All the winners will get a behind the scenes look at the animal shelter. Hope you enjoy it.
Last Thursday we had the "Lorax" performance. It was fortunately not a disaster but we did have a few problems. Our scenes were set up by class. First was Darby, then Knepper, and then my class, Loudermilk. A couple of funny things that happened was the Onceler family chopped down the last tree when they weren't supposed to. Then when the Onceler chopped down the last tree, it fell on our child. But overall, our Lorax play was actually pretty good. When you saw the kindergartener's faces, they looked in awe. In my next blog I could present a video clip of the performance.
On Sunday, because not a lot was happening with the dogs, I went with my family and a friend to the IU vs Mexico soccer game. I'm sad IU lost, boo Mexico(no offense). But I will tell you a story that is very peculiar.
My friend and I were passing the ball when a kid about five years old came up. He watched us pass the ball. When we hit a slow moving pass he struck. The kid ran up and kicked the ball down the hill. Luckily, some people were kind enough to pass the ball back. The the kid said, "I'll give you a wedgie!" My friend threw me the ball and ignored him.
Then the kid ran towards my friend. He just put his hand out restraining the kid from giving him a wedgie. Then a woman walked up and said,"Hey! Don't push my kid around! I'm watching you." Then she walked away. Man! But the experience was fun even though we got bossed around by a mother and Mexico won 1-0.
Stay tuned for more blog adventures. The dogs may rise again though they have been quiet. Also, a good way to stay tuned, I will blog about a big soccer festival at Center Grove I have on Saturday.
You're cool! Great essay. I'd be interested to know who comes to your class. Wait until that little boy enters school.......someone made put knots in his tail! Have a fun day and hope the rain holds off so the fun isn't cancelled.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad essay for writing on the quick. I hope you win the big prize!
ReplyDeleteThat kid's mom needs a reality check.
When you think about the quality of soccer outside the U.S., it's really a huge victory for IU to have held Mexico to just one goal. The team held its ground, and that's pretty darn good for a U.S. soccer team!
