Very First Entry!!!

Hey! So this is my very first entry. Mom helped me set it up. And it's my very own. Today I had Safety Patrol. My shifts are Thurs. and Fri. mornings, 7:25-750. Yesterday I had soccer and piano lessons. Plus I had to get ready for today. I'm thankful I did though, because it was a hectic morning. When I woke up, Mom was already up. And better yet, I smelt french toast! When I came out of my room, I got breakfast, got dressed in my set out out clothes, picked up my prepared backpack, and got on my tennis-shoes. My brothers were still eating by the time I was done getting ready. We arrived at the school on time, and I hurried out to the front office. When I got there, I saw Ethan and Cole carrying out barricades, flags, and vests. They explained we were short on people, and Ethan and I would take care of barricades, while Cole, the captain, did flags. Normally, two people were in charge of flags, and Cole ran around checking on people. But I guess some people couldn't show up or get subs. Barricades is where you set up movable signs in the street, and stand right in the middle of them. This has proved to keep cars out, though it is very boring. My shift ends at 2nd bell, so I was counting down the seconds until it would ring. It did, and I loaded the barricades on to a dolly, and steered toward the building. And a monitor joined me while going to her post, and we had a nice little conversation. I went inside, put the barricades in the Safety Patrol closet, and headed down the hall to Mr. Jonston's class. Ethan and I waited until Music in the Morning finished, and headed in the classroom to unpack. Math was pretty uneventful until we did our Friday Math Game. We split into four teams, and one of us from each team take turns answering question at the whiteboard. It was a bummer when I was put with kids who struggle with math. Of course, we lost, but had a good amount of points considering our group. Then it was library, so I checked out a few books, and went out to play at recess. My ultimate favorite game is handball, so I played that with all of the boys. And I was actually not that bad. After 15 minutes of playing, it was time to go inside. We mostly studied for tests, and took them. At recess, it was the same business. In kahoot, I got 2nd place, which pleased me. The day whizzed buy, until we did chorus. We rehearsed Glory Train, and Sloop John B. When we did Glory Train, some of us tried out for a solo. I didn't because it was to low, and didn't seem like the solo I wanted. And then we practiced Sloop John B, until it was time to leave. So, it was a long day, but I'm grateful there isn't another one tomorrow! 😃😃
