This is me. Once a week on Wednesday I go to Challenge. I ride a bus to Eagle Hills Elemantry where we go to a portable for Challenge. I have two teachers, Mrs. Cox and Mrs. McDonald. Mrs. Cox teaches math. Mrs. McDonald teaches art and science. I had to take a couple of tests to see if it was the right fit for me. Those tests were impossible to get 100% on. You had to get 98% or more to get into Challenge. I like Challenge because every one there understands me and has the same interests as I do. The only other kid from Star Elemantry that goes to Challenge is my best friend at Challenge. Her name is Alexandra but she goes by Alex. She is writing books just like me. Here are 2 of my poems.
The graceful deer leaps,
The hunters are oh, so near,
The deer bounds away.
Valley of Moonlight
Rivers blue and clear,
Lead to a valley of lakes,
Where, the moonlight shines.

Riley's 92 year old grandma passed away and we attended her funeral last week. It was the children's first funeral and Grandma Jean was the first grandparent to pass away since any of the kids have been born. It was a very sweet experience. We were all sad, but we were only sad because we would miss her for a while. It was a great experience to be able to share with the children that we will see her again. As Riley's mother covered Grandma Jean's face with a veil before the coffin was closed, Clancy asked, "Mom, why is she covering Grandma's face?" I was forming a rather lengthly and complicated explanation when Clancy answered his own question. "It is so that she can see Jesus, right?" I was very touched and I thought of the scripture that admonishes us to become like a little child.
Clancy just ended his indoor soccer season. The league is for 3-5 year olds and it consists of a swarm of really excited kiddos following the soccer ball in a tight cluster around a small gym. Every now and again the ball gets kicked towards the goal by one of the many unidentified feet and occasionally happens to go in the net. Most of the time when the goal kicker reveals themselves, they are a member of the team on which the goal was scored. Oh well, it is tons of fun for the kids and they are so cute!
