Today at Chinese Camp I learned the types of festivals Chinese people celebrate on Chinese New Year. They are Spring festival, Lantern festival, there is another one, but I forgot what it is, after the one I forgot there are Loong Boat festival, Chinese Valentines Day, and there are two more I forgot. There are seven in total. I am having a fun day so far. I am doing writing right now. I already did read, write Chinese, math, and something else that has to do with music but not piano. We did one of Brett’s songs and used chopsticks to hit cups to follow the left-hand part of the song with the beat. I still have to do drawing, and ball. Then if there is time, we can watch TV. We might go to the pool. We usually go a quarter to eight. Which is either right before fruit or right after fruit. I hope you have an awesome, wonderful great day. Good-bye.

Today at Chinese Camp I learned some transportation in Chinese. Car is qi che. Boat is chuan. Airplane is feiji. Bus is gonggongqi che. Bicycle is zixingche. Taxi is chuzhuqi che. For lunch I had two slices of grapefruit, some half baby tomatoes, little cucumber pieces, baby carrots, and chicken slices in the salad container, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and one clementine. For jump roping we went to the stage to practice the showcase. We did the short rope first and then the long rope. It used music. Today was fun.

Juneteenth is also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day. It marks the day June 19, 1865. What happened on June 19, 1865, is all of the slavery ended in the United States. Everybody was free. Even African Americans finally learned that they were free from the slavery. So, American people memorize this day as a holiday to celebrate freedom. So, everybody who works in the office or works at work or anywhere get a day off. So, People want to celebrate freedom on June 19. I do not have Chinese Camp because of the holiday. I get to stay at Nainai’s house and do work. I cannot wait for Craig to get here. Brett and I have talked about a secret plan that we can do to surprise Craig with the yellow ring Nainai found under the couch. Brett and I actually think it is a good plan.

Today at Chinese camp I learned the moves for the twelve zodiac animals. For the show next week all I know is I am going to be in the jump roping part. I am not sure, but I think we will be doing the short ropes and the big rope. My friends for the big jumping rope and maybe the short ones are Carson, Grace, I forgot the rest. Out of all the people some will be staying here for the show, and some will be leaving this Friday. Tomorrow there is no school or camp. For lunch I had Baozi, cucumbers, tomatoes, and clementines. We watched Tom and Jerry. My friend Alex said it was the old version. It did look different from the usual one we watched before this one. In Calligraphy we drew a pattern of a mask onto our own mask. It looked too hard for me, so I drew it on a piece of paper. When I was finished, I put my name, the date, and Maddie gave a name for the mask guy. She named him Soar. Then Michael gave me math problems. I got two wrong and one correct.

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.
