I Deserve a Day Off From School Because.....

       I deserve a day off from school because first of all, 2 days off from school is NOT enough. I need MORE time to relax and MORE time to be with my family. Second, I come for school 5 days a week and I get only 2 days of rest in return? Not fair. We need more time to switch on and switch off our brains. Third, giving me a day off will be convenient for the teachers too. The teachers will also get extra time to relax and they won't even have the tension of waking up early the next day!

      I think that 1 day MINIMUM should be enough time to get ready and prepared for school the next day. Think about it, waking up so early + doing hard work at school too and only 2 days to rest? Remember, giving me a day off will be in teachers' benefit too!

      I totally deserve a day off. Giving a day off will save many of the people who love breaks, INCLUDING ME:)

If I Were A Parent...

       My daughter's name is Vainavi. She is the oldest child in the house. She is an extremely caring, sharing, honest, responsible and understanding girl. She has all the values I wanted her to have and she knows the right time to speak the right thing:)

      First of all, I would like to tell you some stories of when she made me very proud. Four months ago when I was going to bring a brother and sister to her life(twins),  her excitement made  me feel that she was waiting for this moment for five years(which is actually true!) She had supported me whenever she could, and when summer holidays started, she did nothing but stayed at home and helped me. One time, she even fell asleep on the chair while chatting with me! Another time she made me proud, was when I was very angry for a reason and then suddenly, Vainavi appeared with a question. I gave her an angry face and instantly, she went away. At that moment, I felt she knew my feelings very well.

     Vainavi has always been the girl who has made me laugh. She lightens me up with her sweet talks and funny actions. She helps me with everything including cooking, organizing and much more. Vainavi and I share the relationship of mother and daughter but we also share the relationship of best friends. We talk and share our feelings to each other and we also have our own 'Girls' club. When she was a child, I used to think she was chubby- not that cute but now when I look back, I find her to be the cutest baby on earth!

      Vainavi is the best child on earth and I am blessed to be her parent!

The BFG

In this video, I am telling why I like this book, what parts I like, and what makes this addictive book so special. I am also telling what characters I like and what their names are:) This book's name is The BFG!!!

My Reading Reflection

            I recommend the BFG because I feel it has a ton of imagination, magic adventure, humor and much more. I can totally picture the story while reading and I am able to stop and think about what is going on.

When the reader first reads the beginning, the author (Roald Dahl) just introduces the characters and where they live. But as the story goes deeper, Roald Dahl twists the story and makes it exciting and interesting in such a way that the reader can't get its eyes of the book. The BFG shows how friendship helps a girl and a friendly giant save the world from the ghastly giants. Queen Elizabeth plays a part in the BFG too!!

The BFG was my first Roald Dahl book and after reading that, I felt like reading more and more of his books and (believe it or not) soon, I became a Roald Dahl book lover. So be aware that his books are SUPER addictive:)
