Hello! Welcome to my blog! Today in class is was really fun! Some of us completely forgot where we were supposed to sit, but eventually we got it. About 5 minutes into class Mr. Schick asked us to get out our notebooks, and one boy asked if he could go get his. Soon enough 5 of us were running the halls trying to get our notebooks. We all go them, but personally I thought it was a miracle straight from God himself that I was even able to get my locker open! When we were all back in the classroom and Mr. Schick had taken attendance he sat down at his desk and told us to listen to the story, and write down anything we think would be important. I don’t know about everyone else in the classroom, but I sure was worried that what he read and what we wrote, would be on a pop quiz! I tried not to write every word he said, and just the things that stood out to me as being important so I think I did ok. I am really excited to see what the rest of the year, and week comes to bring in this class, because so far I really am enjoying it!
