Yo, people! It's Sally and Allie again! We're gonna talk about Tremendous Tuesday! So get ready, 'cause we're gonna fire comments at you!
Sally: During P.E., Miss Les told us that the people who already ran the mile or finished the pacers for our sort-of fitness test, could play kickball. One team captain, Ana, divided the teams. Allie and I ended up on the same team. We ran off onto the field. When it was Allie's turn to kick, she went ahead and kicked a low ball, which tricked the outfielders, but she still got out. Oh, well, too bad. I was up next. I crouched low, my heartbeat thumping crazily at my chest. If I made a bad kick, no one would pick me for their team next time. The ball was thrown slowly onto the plate, one, two, three! I kicked a high one, letting it pounce into the air, and drop down...into the arms of Chestnut, which we called him. I was out! During lunch recess, we had soccer. I was thrown into the game when it started. We were against my friend Moly's team again. I slid the ball across to Mia, the best soccer player in the whole school, who was also my team captain, and she sent it shooting into the goal with Albet, the goalie, flying straight out of the goal! But unfortunately for us, Moly's team also made a goal while Chestnut the goalie was busy defending himself. Oh well, at least we didn't lose. During Social Studies, the last period in our day, we were doing this stupid treasure hunt thing. We were supposed to look whatever Mr. McD. asks us to look up in our social studies textbook. At first, my table group was on the roll, but then, Mia's team caught up, went ahead, but just then, WHA-LAM! Allie's group finds the Constitution of America, and Mr. McD. gives them a free 30 points just for finding it first and reading the preamble! From then on, Allie's team kept going ahead. We were too far behind to even tie with them. So our day ended with me fuming at Allie, and Allie jumping around with joy.
Allie:So..head back to the morning. Walking in we saw our new class pet!! I jumped around wanting to see it, but I was behind a GIGANTIC crowd. So I finally got to the cage. It was WAY SMALLER than I expected it to be. To the Greeting Meeting, Mr. McD. took him out and placing it on his hand. He showed us the bearded dragon. IT WAS AWESOME!! Later, TEAM 5 was on the roll. We were so pumped up to beat this TEAM 2!!! We all thought we were winning. For the first five minutes they SCORED A GOAL ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we were like OH NO!!!!!!! But later Ken just kept scoring and scoring so we ended up like this: 3-0. We totally lost and I was sad but READY for the next game.
See ya next time!!!!
