Today at St. Mark’s I had Blue and Gold day. First we got our yearbooks the way we signed them was to just write our name. We could go out of the classroom and sign teachers yearbooks and they could sign ours. At 8:30 we all came back inside and signed each others. We could go in Mrs. Brooms class and sign her students yearbooks. Nathan got almost every single person. Then we had Blue and Gold time. All of squad 1 are together and they are just first and second graders. So the colors are for something like this. So like the dads would say “Red and green over here and yellow and blue over there.” That’s how the colors work. We also played a game where you have this tray and there is a plate with a sandwich, a cup of water, a container of ketchup and an orange on your tray. There are cones set up. What you do is you zig-zag through the cones and back then you give it to your teammate. If your water spills you have to fill it back up. You could also get water. You just press something down and it will squirt water into your mouth. Another game that squad 1 played today is a game where you have to dress up like a Hockaday girl do a hula-hoop two times then you hit your next teammates hand. We played tug of war I think you know that game. We played a game where you have an egg on your spoon and the next person in line has a spoon. When the egg is on your spoon yoou have to go around the cone and back. If you drop the egg the next person with the spoon has to come help you by putting the egg back onto the walkers spoon. Finally, we played a game where there is someone at the front of the line and that person puts a ball from the bucket over their head and a little bit behind which is up and the next person has to take it and put it in between their legs which is down. Then it is just a pattern. Up down. When the person at the end of the line puts the ball in the hula-hoop then that person comes to the front of the line and it starts all over except there is one ball in the hula-hoop. We saw how many balls we could get into the hula-hoop. Then we watched the dads play tug of war. Abels dads team lost both times. I don’t know why. Moms were also there but they dd not play. They just watched. Then we had a cookout. After I threw my plate away I got a popsicle. As soon as I took it out it was so cold there was steam and I saw it.
