2nd Grade

I am almost done with 2nd grade. Only 2 and 1/2 days left.

This is my teacher Mrs. Riley.

I liked her a lot.
I have lots of friends.
I made a lot of new friends in 2nd grade too.

This is Daniel. He is very fast. He came to my house last week. We played football.

We are playing football outside in just our socks. That makes my mom mad.

Special Person Week

Day 1 - I took my poster. they loved it. I explained all the pictures.

Day 2 - I took my signed football and football pictures.
Last summer I went to a football camp with my cousins. Luther Ellis and Andre Dyson came. They signed my football and pictures of them. I told my class that I love FOOTBALL!!!



Day 3 - I took my cast and pins.
When I was 2 1/2 years old I broke my elbow. I had to have an operation to put pins in my elbow to fix it. I had a blue cast that all my family signed. Now I have a funny elbow. I also showed them my scar.



Day 4 - I took my Grandma Kathy Bear and a picture of us. (We forgot to take a picture.) I told them that even though I like football and am rough, I also have things that are special to me. I told my class that when I was 3 I lived with my Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Earl. I would wake up really early in the morning and would go into my grandma's room and sit on her chair with her. We would watch for the sun to come up. My Grandma Kathy died. I miss her a lot, but for Christmas I got a bear with her voice. She left me a message. It says, "Hi Mackay, I'll remember you when the sun comes up. Will you remember me when the sun comes up? I love you. Remember me." My teacher listened to my bear and it made her cry.

Day 5 - I was supposed to bring my favorite treat to the class to share.
I love OREOS!!! I gave each of them a package of oreos.
I also wanted to take something else from my Grandma Kathy. I took my pillow and a picture of my grandma holding me when I was a baby. She is wearing her red striped shirt. After she died, we got a pillow for our beds made out of some of her extra clothes. I was lucky to get my pillow made out of the shirt she is holding me in. When I put my cheek on my pillow, I think of when I was a baby and laid on her shoulder.


My mom tells me I am a special kid all the time, but now my teacher and my class think I am a special kid.

Day 1 for "Special Person" Week.

I am the Special Person at school next week.
I get to take something to school each day next week.
Last night my mom and I made a poster all about me. I will take it on Monday.

It has a big football on it. it is a little hard to see it.
In the middle is a picture of me and about me. My birthday. my family. where I was born.
At the bottom it has my favorites. Steelers, crepes, sports, and Disneyland.
The part with the sad face is about things that are not good with me. I had to have my tonsils out to help me sleep. I have bad allergies and feel like I am allergic to flowers. and I broke my elbow and had to have surgery.
The part with the happy face is things I am good at. I am good at football. I am a good sleeper but I wake up too early. I am a good brother and a good friend.

I will tell you what I take on the other days later.

What's Unique about Mackay???

This is Mackay's mom posting on his blog today with a QUESTION!!

Mackay is "Super Kid" or "Special Kid" or "Kid for the Week"... whatever his teacher calls it, for next week. He has to come up with five things to share about himself that are unique!

Tell me about Mackay!

I have a few ideas, but I want to know what you think is UNIQUE about my sweet little boy!!

Thanks!!!

Sleepover Fun!!

on Friday night i got to go to my friend Andrews house. We played basketball. my friends brother and his friend was over too. so we played 2 on 2 game. then at night we played a football game. they kick off whoever gets it tries to jump on the bingbag. if they get tackled they would have to throw it away from them.

we played a lot more and then i called my mom and dad and asked if we could have a sleep over. they are so nice. they let me.

First we watched land of the lost. it is way funny. and then we played the x box. and then we got probably 10 blankets. we put 2 on the bottom and stacked them and then we put 7 on the top. i was on the side. i'm so lucky cuz we put heaters on the side. I got the most warmest.

we woke up we went to my friends little sisters soccer game. we played catch with a baseball. then we went to mcdonalds for breakfast. then we came back to my friends house and went to treehouse and played basketball again. they were small enough for me to slam dunk it. then we went to the pool. the hot tub was closed. we were mad. we swam for a little bit and then when we were done we went to the gym and shot hoops.

we played a lot of basketball!!

then we went to Arby's for lunch. then i had to go home. The sleep over is over but it was way fun.
