Morning Route (Routine and fun insight for mom into his day)

I plege alligence to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for wicth it stands one nation under God indivisible for libirety and justice for all.

Plege of the eagles: Eagles are leaders, eagles are bold, eagles soar to great heights. As a creekside Eagle I promise to Show self control. I promise to Offer peer support. I promise to Actively listen and learn. I promise to Respect people and property. (SOAR) Today and every day I promise to be the best that I can be because I believe in me.

Finish morning work. Song. Greeting. Morning Meeting

The First Drawing

Imagine you were a caveman in the time period ice age. You have a pet wolf. You and your father go hunting for arrowheads. You see something, you go and tell your dad. He says "Nonsense." You go back to the cave and your family is sleeping. Then you realize the fire is moving. You tell your family and they say in chorus "Go to sleep." You say "No really." You grab some paint and start to draw a mamoth and your family says in relief "You just made the first drawing." Then all of the start to draw. They draw saber tooth tigers, cave bears, and weapons. Then you all go to sleep and all you dream about are your memories when you saw what you drew on the day you went stone hunting with dad.

When I was on a family beach trip my Aunt Hadley and my Uncle Adam saw a shark a little bit smaller than a dolphin jump out of the ocean. When they told me about the shark I said: I'm glad that I wasn't with you when you saw that shark. Usually there was two trips to the beach a day. In between the two trips was a lunch break. I only went on the second trip once or twice because we had a pool and obvisly a pool is more fun and safe than the ocean. I went with the Powers side of my family and my one generation away Zimmerman couisins named Paige, Norah, Halley and Addy, who was at girls' camp. On the family beach trip I loved the boogie boarding and the skim boarding. When I was at the beach we also got to dig a hole and the people who wanted to dig got 30 seconds to dig. When we were playing in the water I saw 6, 7, 8, or 9 shark copters and my 9 year old sister said that she saw some fins. So when I saw the shark copters and the episode of the fins I ran out of the water!

Hawkeyes Vs. Badgers

One fall afternoon me and my dad went to a football game, which was a hawkeyes vs. badgers game. Me and my dad got to train ride on the top layer! When we got to the football stadium there was free tootsie rools. Sadly to say I lived in Iowa and the Hawkeyes lost. Well, meanwhile at home, my grandma, the three sisters and my mom went to a movie theatre and saw the movie Free Birds. I was darned when I missed the movie. One of my dad's work friends gave my dad the tickets. My dad asked someone to take a picture of us. I wore my hawkeye joursey, a hat, a swechert and a coat. That's what I did at the Iowa Hawkeye Wisconsin Badgers game.
