It was a regular school day. We were working on unfinished work. It was so fun (It was actually pretty boring). "Come sit on the floor," my teacher said sternly to my class. He sounded mad. I was so scared. "What did we do now," I thought to myself. Mr. Stillway said, "What are you guys doing?" in a mad voice. Everyone was confused because we didn't think we did anything wrong. Then he said, "I got an email from Mr. Veteri (our principal) and it said that we aren't following the Whale Pillars or being respectful, honest, safe, and kind." The note said that some of us had to stay back in fourth grade. We were surprised but Nate had a grin on his face. Then, Mr. Stillway jumped up. It was the fastest I ever saw him move. He said, "Happy April Fools Day!" We were so mad at him. Everyone said things like, "You tricked us!!!" Mr. Stillway was so happy. He was laughing and he was bragging that he was the GOAT at tricking ...
You are a rockstar writer! Some days were tough, but I'm so proud of you. You never gave up. Your writing really did improve and you lived each day in April like a writer. You saw ideas for thirty days straight. There are many grownups that can't do that. I loved reading your stories and I love you. You are truly something special. ❤️ Mom
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled you made it through another year of writing, Adi. CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, this will be a time capsule of sorts. You'll see how much better you become at writing each year.
Adi, congratulations for making it through. I read your poem called "I cannot write today." I loved:
ReplyDelete"I cannot write today...
Maybe not ever again."
I've felt like that before too, but you came back and wrote another week straight after that, so good for you!
