I didn't even study. For ELA I got 100, yaaaaay! I got extra points cuz of my superlong five paragrapg essay. Who is my hero? Verysupereasy. Wendelin van Draanen. I didn't even know that I could write five paragraphs. But I did :)N3WYORKD3VILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204513294137155619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-37364827341484029652011-01-26T17:16:16.226-08:002011-01-26T17:16:16.226-08:00Your tour sounded so amazing!

I love it when children can connect with the people who write the books they read. They realize that authors are regular people who have extraordinary talent. Glad the weather was nice for you too.
