This is a Buddha-esque statue.  Okay, it's not a Buddha.  It's a warrior.  Maybe that's like an anti-Buddha.  In any case, it's a statue and it's a gift box, in that I got the contents of the box as a gift.  It's harried and rushed, but it's done.  Check out the lucky twin. It's the lucky twin in that it's the superior twin.  But, anyway.

We're deep in a writer's workshop, and I'm cruising along here in 6th grade.  Writing sentences, embedding evidence, cheerfully guiding the students toward success.
