I really enjoyed this assignment. Reading what all the kids had come up with using their creativity was exciting. I would encourage anyone interested to read these creative posts and leave special comments for these kids. The web link is http://www.mrgoerend.com/search/label/student%20writing. I left five posts for 5 five different kids. I left one for Olivia. She had come up a "Swing Like a Monkey" day. She got the idea all by herself while out swinging in her backyard. She took something as simple as swinging, applied it with some creativity and now has a day named for it. The second child I left a comment for was Ally. Ally was with a friend one day playing the Wii Fit game. In the process of playing, her friend stated that she looked like a robot. The two of them began to act like robots and now have declared a special day titled "Act Like a Robot Day." Again, using some everyday fun and turning it into something creative.
The third child I left comments for was Anna. Anna was sick with a sore throat. She attended her school's football game with instructions from mom to not do any yelling. In the excitement of the game, she let out a scream and found herself voiceless. Her friend told her to express her thoughts and words by using her hands. When she did, the friend said, "Hey! You look like a mime!" From that point on, a day is set aside where each student acts like a mime. I bet it is QUIET day around her school! Again, creativity was used along with taking a bad situation and turning it around for something good. The fourth child was MS5. He also took a bad situation and turned it around for good. While out walking one day, he and a friend dressed up like clowns. Some buddies of theirs began to harass them about it. However, MS5 and his friend now have a day declared "National Clown Day" at their school. The buddies are now dressing as clowns, too! The last one was Zach. Zach was a boy who had a spilled drink on him. He was quite embarrassed by it at first. He thought he looked bad and figured he smelled bad as well. He and his friend came up with a good idea of turning it into a special day at school. Everyone comes in with something spilled on them. Now, everyone including teachers participates in this fun day.

Great job Chrissy. Keep up the good work.
