The Fulton School
My Friday started out like usual at the Kids Clubhouse for storytelling. The theme was the World’s Fair, so we had a book about ice cream and the olympics. There was a really sweet little boy, about four or five years old, who sat next to me and was very enthusiastic about listening to the stories and singing the songs. The kids also made a ferris wheel craft out of cupcake liners. We had a lot of visitors today and a lot of people who were curious about the clubhouse whether they visited it or not. I worked the desk so I was in charge of stamping hands and taking zip codes, as well as giving directions to other visitors. I worked the clubhouse until noon and then went on my lunchbreak. Now, after my lunch break we had a *VERY* special group coming in! Can you guess who it is? It’s The Fulton School Junior U.S. History Class with Mrs. Bryan!!! I was free from noon until 5:00 so I got to stop by and explain different things to the group.
OK, also I am not gonna go in depth with this since I have a 500 word limit, but “Challengers” was an AMAZING movie. The trailers did not even do it justice to how good it actually was. It was just really fun, but I was correct in my assumption as Zendaya was NOT phenomenal. Was she good? Yes, but phenomenal? No. I just feel like there is no emotion in her performances in the case of this it did work because her character, Taishi, is supposed to be cold and because of this flat acting her performances really make me feel nothing, they’re honestly kind of boring. I think a much better, more emotional actress, who actually deserves an Emmy (“Oh no, she didn’t just say that!” – the Zendaya fan club, right now) is Sophie Nelisse for her role as teen Shauna in “Yellowjackets” now that moved me to tears. The real stars of “Challengers” are Josh O’Connor as Patrick Zweig and Mike Faist as Art Donaldson, but Zendaya’s Taishi is completely necessary because she is the catalyst (oh yeah, I do know STEM stuff!) for the men’s rivalry, without her there is no story. If you would like to read my full review and thoughts on the movie, you can check out my Substack. I will say it was so good that my mom and I plan on going to the theaters on Saturday to watch it again.
