Hello Everyone! Pointy and I finally arrived in St. Augustine, Florida. We sure hated to say good bye to Mrs. Blanchard’s class in Ohio, but we are excited to spend time with our new friends in Florida. 

First, Pointy and I got to go watch a concert! We went to the chorus room to listen to some people who were singing and playing drums and flutes. They did great! Toby and I went to the chorus room together and Pointy went with a girl named Danielle. We all clapped so much! They did so good! I couldn’t believe that nobody got stage fright because I would have. After we went back inside the class, the next subjects were Math, Science, and Social Studies. We had a great time together and Pointy and I got to meet so many new people

Hi, I’m Alexys. Today is Anton’s first day in math. He learned lots of new things. He even learned some very hard times tables. He liked learning new things. He never got bored of learning. Tomorrow he wants to go to the same math class. (I wonder if Ms. Sabate will let me take him again?) He wishes he could stay here forever. Anton could not go out for recess today because it was too muddy. He wanted to go out and play, but he couldn’t. Anton finished his day by getting a nice soothing drink at the water fountain.

 Hello! My name is Amanda. I took Pointy home for a sleep over. We slept together and we took some pictures, too. We both played with my dog Buddy. We had lots of fun together.

Hi, I’m Curtis. Anton came over to my house for a sleepover. Anton and I had a lot of fun. We shot bows and arrows and we watched Fear Factor on television. We had a good ride on the bus to my house. We watched Lilo & Stitch. We laughed our heads off because it was really funny. We went to bed around 11:00 or 11:30 pm. Anton slept with me. When we woke up, he told me to wear the shirt I’m wearing now. 

We both loved my mom’s cooking. We ate chicken soup. Anton said he wanted another helping! He probably ate more than my dad. 

We had another good ride on the bus to school. He helped me finish my writing assignment. He even wrote the part about two amazing things Rudolph did at my house, which was part of my holiday writing assignment.

Hi, my name is Jimbo. After school, Ms. Rhonda picked me up. I did homework. I played with my friend Chris. Then dad came and picked me up. We got Anton out of my book bag and I watched Christmas specials with him. Anton guarded my book bag while I was sleeping.

Hi, I’m Cody and I took Pointy to his first day in Social Studies. Pointy learned lots of new things about Ancient Greece and Rome. He learned about myths like Medusa. He learned about the way the design of the shield might be a gargoyle. He also learned about the warrior’s armor.

 

This was Anton’s first time going to someone’s house. It was my house. My name is Toby. Anton and I had so much fun together at my house. I got to teach him how to play GameCube and Chess. Then he got to meet my two cats, Tom and Jerry. They’re twins. Pointy went to Caitlyn’s house. After, Anton and I went to the store to get some Christmas presents and food. I picked out something for Anton while he wasn’t looking. My cousin and sister were both over too. Their names are Kristin and Chelsee. Then, when we got back from the store, we had to go to bed. The morning after Anton had to go back to school. We had a great time together.
We sure enjoyed our Christmas visit in Florida. We are now packing up and getting ready for our long voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to England. We were hoping to hitch a ride on the space shuttle from Kennedy Space center, but they were busy getting ready for a visit to outer space. Maybe someday we’ll be able to come back and visit Florida again.
