Grace’s Blog

Yes, long title, I know.
Since the Olympics are in my town (kinda) , I wanted to say,
Happy Olympics!
Here’s a poem I found (REMEMBER, I did not write it. I found it.)

Olympic race

Standing and waiting for the race to begin
I’m getting quite nervous
Am I going to win?

Getting into position, I wait at the start
I have practiced many times
I have passion, I act with heart.

Just one last effort, I pass the finish line.
Am I first, last, where am I?
What’s my time?

I stand on the podium, proud and bold
I represent Canada
With an Olympic GOLD!

I found it from Gloria’s poem book. I thought it was cool, so I showed it here.

Have a AWESOME OLYMPIC MEMORIA (Memory)!!!

Merry Christmas, people. Guess what? Gloria has a blog now, too! It’s a Christmas gift from my parents. She just wrote. You can check it out at www.gloriayin.com. There are only 2 posts. But I think it’s adorable! The thing about the Barbie house is real. I love it! I even got a GUITAR!!! What did you guys get?

Have a great rest-of-the-year,
Grace

P.S.
I still like Barbies! I was so happy when I got Barbies today. Really!

I think Christmas is time for giving. Which is why Santa Claus is invented. But some guy must have told some people that Santa is for bringing gifts, so then everybody thinks Christmas is for getting. But I feel so happy whenever I give, or be wonderfully nice. So this Christmas, I will hope that e v e r b o d y will do at least 1 or 2 things nice. I’m sure you will feel good after. Anyway, I do!

Merry Christmas,
Grace

P.S.
You are definitely going to get something you always wanted for a Christmas gift if you do 5 or more good things. If I’m wrong, please tell me.

This year my Christmas tree’s ornament(s) colour is gold and silver(again!!!!). For Christmas gifts my parent bought me a lot of Pokemon cards! I also got a new outfit! It’s made to match. My sister got other stuff. I forgot what she got… For the Christmas Concert this year, The Nutcracker, I am the King/Queen Mouse.

Remembrance Day is on November 11th on the 11th hour, and maybe the 11th minute, every year.

Since it’s in November, the 11th month. Remembrance Day is a day to remember and honor the soldiers who fought in the World Wars, I and II. Many died. Some survived. But they were sad. Because their best friends have died.

Poppies grow in Flanders Field. Some people fought in that field. Poppies grow around cross tombstones. It is very quiet. We are lucky in Canada because there are no wars.

Remembrance Day is also called Veterans Day or Poppy Day. Maybe the day was made by a king on November 7th, 1919.

Peace to me is love and care around the World!
