This morning Shannon walks Xavier to the cafeteria. When he gets to the bottom of the steps, a girl (I think it's his BFF from yesterday) comes running up to him and yells "XAVIER, I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU. NONE OF MY CLASS IS IN THERE, I NEED YOU TO HELP ME FIND MY CLASS." Xavier was ready to step up and be her knight in shining armor but didn't really know what to do. So he looked around confused. But he wanted to help... that's the key.It turns out when he got home it wasn't he BFF, but a different girl.
Today is the "twenty-sixf" and their calendar has "FIVE DAYS OF SUNNY! I fink that's all it's ever going to be."
Last Friday, Miss Holt sent home a small paper bag with directions for Xavier to put five small things in it that represents him and they will discuss the items this week. Well all week we have been asking him if Miss Holt chose his bag yet and he kept telling us no. Today his was finally chose and here's what he told the class about each item:
First was a small Trio building block, "I love to play blocks. I use dem to create animals, houses, and weapons.
Second was a small Batman figure: "Me and my bwover wove to pway Batman, My brover pways wiff me and we have the Batman Cave.
Third was a Galactic Heroes Han Solo: I like star wars, my whole family does, even my brother, me and my brother play star wars. Miss Holt told me that it was Han Solo, She said she knows Star Wars.
Fourth was, well let him explain: One day we were hiking at Angel Falls Overlook and found this, I don't know what it is. Another little boy said, "I know what it is." and Miss Holt said "what?" And the boy said "A wucky buckeye." So it's a Lucky Buckeye, go figure.
Last a rock: On weekends when I'm off school me and my family go play in water and I found this rock and it's a zebra kind of wooking rock."
Miss Holt said that today it was going to be between 90 and 100 degrees so they had to go to recess early in the morning.
"OH OH OH! and we read a tumble book." So, here is a transcript from the novella "I HAVE TO GO! as narrated by Xavier Follett:
When they got to grandma's house the mom, the dad, the grandma, and the grandpa asked "ANDREW, DO YOU HAVE TO GO PEE?" and he said, "No no no." They got outside and he threw one snowball and Andrew said "I have to go pee".
When they got back home they put Andrew to bed and mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa kissed Andrew good night and asked him, "ANDREW, DO YOU HAVE TO GO PEE?" He said "No no no." They all waited outside his door whispering "Any minute he's going to say I gotta go pee!"
Instead Andrew says " I wet the bed".
Xavier laughed so hard!
Today in Gym class he had to do some sort of step, hop, jump, twist game where they had to put their feet on these blue and grey footprints on the floor. "The bwue footprints faced this (and he pointed toward his right) side of the gym and the gray footprints faced this (pointing to his left) side of the gym. We had to bounce bounce bounce (and he's moving his index finger, mimicking his legs up and down) Then there were footprints facing this way and that way we had to twist to get to them it was a lot of fun. AND for doing a good job I got to get something out of the Gym Treasure Box. It was a shiny, green, lucky coin.
"With my wucky Buckeye and my wucky coin, it's my wucky day, huh?"
