The Day in the Life of a 1st Grader

Today is my very first day of camp and I'm awfully nervous.
I have never been away from my Mommy and Daddy before.
Mommy and Daddy say camp will be a lot of fun.
They told me that I will make lots of new friends and play many games.
I have always liked playing games.

So Mommy and Daddy and me headed over to the bus stop.
Mommy made sure that I had a lot of sun screen on me.
She kept telling me where everything was in my backpack.
I didn't like her keep telling me the same thing.
When it was time to get on the bus Mommy was crying.
I asked Mommy why she was crying and she said she was crying because she was very happy for me.
I ran over to Mommy and gave her a big hug then went on the bus.
When I got on the bus I did not know where to sit.
There were so many seats and none of them looked like the one I sat in the car.
I asked the bus driver where to sit and he told me to sit in the front next to him and that I would be his special helper.
I like helping so I got really excited.
The bus pulled away and I waved goodbye to Mommy.
Mommy was still crying but I blew her a kiss and she smiled.

After riding the bus for what seemed like forever we made it to camp.
When it was time to get off the bus I was very confused on where I was suppose to go.
I asked the adult standing by the bus where to go and he walked me over to my camp group.
I met my counselors Max and Stephen.
Stephen was really tall, he seemed like he was a giant.
He had curly brown hair and brown eyes.
His voice was extremely loud.
Max was really short and I felt taller than him.
He had  straight dark black hair and blue eyes.
He talked very quietly.
When everyone else arrived at camp my group played get to know games.
I was really nervous when we first started playing the games, but Stephen really got into the games and it made me feel better.

After we learned each others names we went for a walk down to boating.
I have never been boating before, but Stephen said I will like it.
On the way to boating we sang songs.
I like singing songs.
Stephen sang loud.
I sang loud.

We got to boating and went and saw the turtles in the swamp.
I like frogs more.
Turtles are slow.

We went back to camp and colored for a bit.
My favorite color is red.
Jimmy had the only red crayon.
I asked Jimmy if I could use the red crayon when he was done with it.
Jimmy didn't want to share.
This made me sad.
Stephen heard me ask Jimmy for the crayon and said that it would be my turn soon to use the red crayon.
This made me happy.
I like being happy.

Lunchtime came and I was excited to see what my Mommy had packed me for lunch.
I got my brown paper bag and found a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich and a juice box.
I like peanut butter and jelly

We then went to swimming.
I was really nervous, I had never been swimming without Mommy and Daddy before.
When it was my turn to go swimming a nice man in a red swim suit helped me swim.
I like the color red.

Next we went down to play sports.
I really like to play soccer.
Some day I am going to play soccer so everyone can see me.
My daddy plays soccer with me all the time.
I always score goals on him.

After sports we went to nature.
I like playing with dirt and bugs.
Mommy is always upset when she see me come inside all dirty.
She says, "Honey, I thought I told you to not play in the dirt. You don't want to ruin your clothes!"
One time I brought Mommy, a worm.
I told her the worm was a present for her.
She got scared and screamed.
My daddy came running and he asked what was wrong.
I showed Daddy the worm, and he laughed.

At nature we learned how to make a fire.
We were each told to go and find sticks.
I wanted to get as many sticks as I could, so I ran as fast as I could.
I fell and got a boo boo.
It hurt bad.
I was sad.
Stephen gave me a ban-aid and I felt a lot better.

After nature it was time to go home.
I got on the bus and waved goodbye to Stephen and Max.
Today was fun.
I like camp.
I can't wait to come back.

When I got back to the bus stop I saw Mommy and Daddy.
Happy to see them, I ran and gave them a big hug.
