Growing Up Daisy Book 6: Daisy and the Spring Dance
I am a famous American Ms Lilly announced Can you guess who I am Raymond seemed puzzled Finally he asked Ms Lilly are you a dude Ms Lilly turned and wrote on the board I am a dude Amber raised her hand and asked if the famous American was old Their teacher added to the board I am not old o I am a dude I am not old 00
Amber continued But you have white hair Ms Lilly reminded the class the hair was just a wig Jason asked Are you a president Ms Lilly wrote on the board I am a president As she wrote she said Very good Jason Daisy's hand shot into the air just at the same time Madison's did Then Madison shouted You're George Washington Ms Lilly wrote on the board I am George Washington Then she said Madison I do like your enthusiasm But in the future please wait until I call on you even if you know the answer to the question This caused Madison to immediately pout She crossed her arms over her chest and slumped down in her chair Noticing this Blanca whispered Madison es una bebe grande
Daisy hated to agree but Madison was acting like a big baby Daisy said Sí Suddenly everyone turned to look at Daisy even Ms Lilly Daisy's cheeks felt red hot She must have agreed with Blanca out loud Did you say something Daisy Ms Lilly asked Daisy didn't know what to say She just sputtered Yes I didn't mean to though I'm so sorry I guess I was thinking out loud Some of the kids in her class laughed Ms Lilly was quiet for several seconds Finally she said I guess it is better to think out loud than not at all But maybe you could take notes before sharing your thoughts Daisy Now Daisy felt really embarrassed Ms Lilly moved on to talking about the famous general George Washington The class would be learning about the Revolutionary War Ms Lilly gave them a group assignment next They could work in groups of two three or
four For this assignment they got to choose their own group members Daisy and Blanca turned and pushed their desks together It was funny how they decided to work as a group without even talking about it first Raymond looked awkwardly around the room and then pushed his desk over to theirs Who asked you to join us Raymond Blanca complained Raymond looked around again and decided all the other groups were set He asked Daisy Can I please be in your group Daisy Raymond knew Daisy would not say no She was nice to everyone even him Daisy told Blanca that Raymond might have some good information Three heads are better than two she reasoned so Blanca agreed Ms Lilly gave each group a piece of paper that looked like a giant pie Each group would brainstorm everything they knew about Washington on their pie paper They would have fifteen minutes and Ms Lilly was setting the timer
