My third grade awards ceremony was today, and I got Honor Roll 4 times this year, Perfect Attendance, Certificate of Participation in Science Fair, Certificate of Writing for writing and producing the play, <i>12 Things I'm Not Allowed to do Anymore,</i> an Art Achievement Certificate for the Art Show and I was voted the person with the Best Ideas in my class. I enjoyed the awards ceremony. It made me feel good. Afterwards we played outside and signed yearbooks and then watched <i>Stone Fox</i>. Maggie died in the sled race but when Little Willie got home he got another dog, so it wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be. Ib the book at the end, instead of his grandpa giving him the dog, Stone Fox gave him the dog. Stone Fox is a guy in the sled race who's never lost before who is racing to get his land back, which you can only find out in the movie because it doesn't say that in the book, only in the movie.
Last night I made a marble run that goes from my bed to the ground. It may be the best thing I've ever made, but not in the future eventually. Here is a video of it. I say that in the video. I don't use the word "maybe" anymore. I like to say "eventually."
Marble runs are one of my favorite things, T. That's a great one! When you and your Mom and Maeve came to see me when Sophie was born (you were not quite 3) you played with one that Ben had set up. You were mesmerized by it! I remember that really well. Sounds like your awards day was fun. I'm proud of you. Love, Wendy
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all your awards, Truman. I would love to read your play. As soon as Elliott stops trying to eat marbles, which he really should soon because he's 4.5, I sure hope he likes marble runs. --Jen
