Today is the day before Chinese Camp starts. I think it is going to be fun. Daddy made a checklist for us. It is read, write, math, draw, piano, Chinese which just means watch a movie where the people speak Chinese and practice Chinese with Nainai, and ball or throw the ball. The way I decided to do the checklist is Brett does one thing and I do the next thing until we get to Chinese. We do Chinese and ball together. My loose tooth is still in. It might fall out today or within the three weeks we are going to Chinese Camp. I am excited. It was really fun at Great Smoky Mountains. My favorite part was when we were at Dollywood. My favorite rides was probably Big Bear Mountain, Dragonflier, and Firechaser or how Brett and Craig call it Fire engine. I also liked the shows they were really good. Hiking which was the other thing besides Dollywood was OK. The part I just didn’t like wass going up, getting hot, and getting tired.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF BASKETBALL CAMP!!!! At basketball camp all the students at camp played Knockout. There were two games. In my game I think I was the last St. Mark’s graduating first grader or rising second grader in the game but I did not win. We also watched the coaches play Knockout again. This time the coach that won last time did not win. Today Coach Guiler or Coach something. I forgot his name. But one of them won it was really close. I don’t know who won. Today Brett and I got a Nerds. Brett got one because he didn’t get one yet and I got one because I won something yesterday but I didn’t get a piece of candy because Coach Guiler ran out. I hope you have a super duper woderful awesome great good day one day. I hope on that day you get to do something really really really cool and fun. Good-bye.

Today at basketball camp I played new games. We also watched the coaches play Knockout. At lunch Jack gave Brett an Airhead. At the end of camp Coach Lucas gave me a Nerds because of great attitude. I played against Brett today. He also made a new friend at camp named Maya. I think that’s how you spell it. He also played with her sister. For lunch we had chicken nuggets, warm milk, applesauce, and Babybel cheese. Daddy gave us a fork to use for the chicken nuggets if we didn’t want to get our fingers oily is what he said I think. My partner was Willie in the game where someone shoots three times and someone rebounds and then you switch. Whoever gets the most points wins. The coach said Willie and I won but there was not enough candy. Coach Giler made something called the 10 W’s. It is a list for him every day. yesterday the first three were wakeup, worship, and word of God I think. Today the next three W’s were he weigh’s himself, I forgot the next W, and the sixth one is he drinks water.

Today I had basketball camp with Brett. We played a lot of games that used a basketball. Actually I think all of the games used a basketball. We also ate lunch. Daddy packed us Baozi, warm milk, applesauce, and Babybel cheese. I actually played against Brett. His partner was Jared and my partner was Dillan. Both of us are the sixteens. At the end the coaches chose each chose a kid who did well, had great shots, great attitude, or something that the coach really liked and gave that person a piece of candy. I got one I think because of great shots. Brett didn’t get one but I still shared mine with him. Some of the things we did with the basketball or games we played were called Knockout, Hotshots, 1 on 1, 2 on 2, and many other things. The 2 on 2 is the one where I played with Brett. We did not go outside or watch TV during the camp.

Today is Tuesday and Brett’s school year is over and my school year is over so we just stay home today. We are doing the checklist that Daddy made for us. I am one thing ahead since I started earlier than him. My order is reading, piano, writing which I am doing right now, and math. Then, of course, dancing game with Brett. Brett’s order for work is writing, math, reading, and piano. Then dancing game with me. That is just my order except just move the words of my order except dancing game up two times. Then my order will be writing, math, reading, piano, dancing game which is Brett’s order. Wow!!! So cool!!! I didn’t even notice that until I went to see Brett’s order to write down on the computer. Today if Brett and i are very good then Daddy said we might go out to eat lunch. He said Braum’s Hamburgers. If we stay home he said we can have Baozi.

Today at St. Mark’s I had science and art. In science we planted our Amaryllis’s. We got a little thing where Mr. Dillon put the dirt in. Then we put the seedlings in the hole that we made by the popsicle stick. We got to bring it home today. In art we cleared the part where Mrs. Davis put the dinosaurs and the bones and fossils. We put the dirt in the trash and the green stuff away in the box. Then we got the rocks and put them outside. The flat ones went with the other flat ones that made the path to the nurses office from the circle. The flat rocks were the rocks that had flat top and bottoms. Well pretty flat. Pretty good. We also put the rounded rocks with the other rounded rocks. It’s the place where the shade is under the trees near the circle or right or no right next to the circle. I hope you have a woderful day one day. Good-bye.

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish, art, and drama. In art we used a type of markers to design some lions. 1B did some. So our class did the other side of what 1B did. We are going to give those lions to another school with little kids. I don’t know how and I don’t know if first grade at St. Mark’s is going to. That’s just what Mrs. Davis said. I think. She also gave us an art thing that’s taped inside something. Same with spanish. In drama we did puppet shows. Jack, Lee, Charlie, Sioux, James, and Willie all did a regular drama show. But I did a show where you cut paper, punch a hole, pt a brad through and stratch it out, and make something. I was the giant in Austins group. It was him, me, Benjamin, and Tristan. Alexander and Adams group did that and the hand puppets by himself. His was funny. At homeroom we got a bag from Alex’s mom. Everyone got the same thing. It was a beach towel and our picture we took with our swords out after we got knighted. I think the thing the picture was on could open and there was something inside it. I don’t know. I will wait until I open it.

Today at St. Mark’s I went to the zoo with Surya. I got my zoo shirt. We went to see the elephants, giraffes, and many other animals at the zoo. There were no zebras at the zoo. I got to feed the giraffes. I went into the Herbitarium. I would say the Herbitarium is similar to an I spy thing because you have to find a bunch of animals. I did it with Lee the seniors helped us on tough ones. Some of them were cool. I think 2 or 3 had a very long tail. We had lunch there. I had fruit, chicken nuggets, chips, water of course, and a sandwich is what they call it. It looks more like a chickenburger or something like that. I don’t know. We went to see the dinosaurs. They were not real but their arms, tails, and heads moved. They alos even made sounds. We also went on the carousel at the end. I went on two times. The second time some seniors were riding. Surya was standing right next to me. I liked today!!!!

Today is Sunday. I have no school. I hope we have at least pancakes today for breakfast because yesterday we had waffles but no pancakes. Today at 12:00 to 4:00, Brett, Craig, my baseball team, and I think mommy because she is driving us there. We will get to have no nap. Tommorrow I will go to the zoo with my senior buddy which is Surya. Last Friday Henry Estes who is Willies senior buddy came in and said that that day was the last day of classes for the seniors. Yesterday i played two baseball games. The first game we won 6 to 0. That’s what my coach said. The second game was short because it started raining. But we lost 7 to 5. It was only three innings. The next team to bat was our team. We at least could’ve tied the game up. WE went in the pool two times yesterday. One before my two games and again after my games.

Today is the weekend so I stay home and I have no school. Mommy is making pancakes and waffles. I helped her a little bit and Brett helped her a little bit. I asked daddy to come down to make oatmeal. I wonder what egg we are having today. It is probably Scrambled eggs because that is what he always makes. But if he asks us I am definitely going to say Sunny-Side-Up eggs because we haven’t had those in a long time. Right now I am doing writing. I write on the computer and I write at least five lines. Today and tommorrow I do weekend work which is drawing, piano, writing, and reading. I already did reading, piano, and now I am doing writing. I just have to do drawing and dancing game wih Brett. Dancing game is not part of my work but it is for Brett. I just do it with him since it is better when we do Versus and Versus needs two people.
