Having a Birthday

My name is Kenlove Taus. Today is my birthday.

What a place to have a birthday. This morning I walked to the museum. I love the museum. The museum published my poems in a magazine. To my amazement, when I went to school or walk down the street people congratulated me on my poetry.

The museum helped me to develop my poetry and my writing skills. Today, when I told everyone it was my birthday they went to the bakery and bought breakfast rolls and everyone sat in the front of the museum. The staff wanted me to write a poem right then. I asked for paper, composed a few lines of verse, and read them to everyone.

Everyone clapped. I told the director that this was not a party.

But it is the only party I will get today.

Tuesday's with Tuvol

Children club on March Saturday the 27th the Turks and Caicos Islands National Museum held the first anual Drama Club that will be every Saturday in the mounth of March. The children had time to get to know everyone and to feel confertable with each other. We played a food game were we set in a group and everyone has a chance to call out a food and whatever the name of the food ends with the next person names a food with that letter.

I liked the role playing games. We had to act at each other. The first one was that we had to pretend that we hadn't seen someone for a long time. The other one was that we had to pretend to win the lottery. I really liked that one.

I can't wait for next week!

Charismatic by Tuvol Higgs

A lady on a tour called me charismatic the other day. It means that I'm open and not shy of people. In other words: I'm confident.

Go me.

Jessica said I had to write a blog about it because I was so proud to get the title. It made me feel good to know I'm a good team with the museum staff. I'm going to never let Jessica forget that the lady said that.

Archaeology?

On Saturday we held a Children's Club archaeological program. This was suppose to be a day when we went out to the Lucayan site GT4, where the museum completed an archaeological survey last week.

Unfortunately, it rained all day. A few kids showed up anyway. Rory, on his last day at the museum, talked to them about his experience doing archaeology with the museum and showed several of the artifacts recovered. Aliatte arranged an afternoon of crafts and the children had a great time staying out of the rain.

Tuesday with Tuvol - On Hypothesis

While Tiffany was on Grand Turk she told me that when she leaves I should come up with a new word every Tuesday.

My first word is hypothesis.

Hypothesis is a very big word that can be broken down in to four syllables. By breaking a word into syllables it is easier to learn.

My sentence for this week is:

I hypothesize that Grand Turk is the best place to live.

By using hypothesis in that sentence, I mean that I am guessing that there is no place in the world more "bootiful" than our white sandy beaches. Not only that, but we have whale watching, palm trees, flamingos, and the lovely conch shells. And our people are the best. We have pretty women, strong men, and the one and only Tuvol.

To prove my hypothesis I would have to go to other places in the world like Paris, Italy, and Sydney.

Tuesdays with Tuvol

Jess is back on Grand Turk and that means more fun, fun, fun in the sun. So Kenlove and I will be all over Grand Turk from Grand Turk Cruise Center to the Sand Bar and from the Sand Bar to the Museum 24/7. The Museum has a new intern named Rory, he is a nice gentleman that helps the Museum with the homework program along with Jess. As an unofficial representative of the Turks and Caicos National Museum, I would like to extend an offer to the children that are in forth and fifth form and (C.C.) Community College of Grand Turk to use the program if you have completely no access to the internet and have homework/projects to do. I use the program and have done a lot of homework. Without the homework program I don't know how I would survive in school.

I like doing my homework. Teachers are giving me attention good and bad. Good because they like the way the museum taught me to cite my homework properly. Bad because my teacher made the class re-do the homework like I did it. So now I'm a goner but without doing my homework my mom would kill me.

The Turks and Caicos National Museum is the best place to go to learn about the T.C.I. and I go so much that I can tell you everything about the museum. Try me! I love the museum so much that I never want to leave.

Tuesdays with Tuvol

Sea Glass. Where is it from? How is it made? We are going to find this out right now.

Sea glass is made from glass bottles that are broken in the ocean. They could be dropped from a boat or ship. They break up on the reef and rocks. As the sand wears down the sharp edges, they become smooth. We find them on the beach because the ocean current pushes them into the shore line.

Sea glass is wonderful and curious. Some people make jewelery out of them. I just like to collect them. Sea glass comes in all different colors. Blue, red, green, or my favorite - orange. You can find most of these colors on the west side of our beaches. I hope to collect a bunch more.
