Woof!!! I wonder what could have made that noise. One regular Friday afternoon turned into the most spectacular day of my life. On this particular Friday everything was dull like always. The bus was noisy; the grass was turning brown and well, the sun barely came out. Plus, there was nothing to do. When I got off the bus from school, my parents were standing there with great big smiles on their faces. I was wondering why?
Suddenly, when I approached them, their smiles were even more suspicious. When I asked my mom why they were smiling like that, something interrupted me, the sound that cut my speech off was familiar, but when I asked my mom, she said “ Crystal, go look in the backyard” and I said “ Okay” in a wondering voice. When I looked around everything seemed the same. Then I asked my mom what she was talking about, she instructed me to go look in the shed. I did what I was told, and when I looked inside the shed I saw a small baby English bulldog. I was ecstatic!!!!!!
I thought I was going to pass-out, but thank God didn’t.
“What is her name?” I said anxiously.
“Well,” mom said, “She doesn’t have a name, so you have to name her.”
Names are easy! Right off the bat, I thought of the perfect name –Brandy Hernandez! My new pup was now officially part of the Hernandez family. My mom and dad kept on rambling about how I have to feed her, walk her, and give her baths. Parents always talk of responsibility. I was listening, well kind of, while my new dog and I were rolling on the grass. It was remarkable!!!
None the less, the day was starting to come to an end, so everyone scrambled inside, still energized. Once inside, we all said “good night” to Brandy, the new member of the Hernandez family. You never know, anything can pop-up in your backyard so be prepared. “Woof”! That was Brandy’s way of saying “Goodnight”.

Terrific Tootles by Bridgit from Miss Parish's Class
Whenever I think of the most surprising day I ever had, I still get shocked all over again. One cold rainy day, I was at school with nothing to do. The smell of stinky bathrooms invaded my nostrils. However, bathroom stench was soon erased with the aroma of pizza from the lunchroom. The cheesy treat made my taste buds so happy! I could not wait until lunch! Every time I hopped by a classroom, I could hear moans and groans from my fellow-students. As I was wondering the halls, I thought about how my days are repeated. Everyday seems like the same old routine. I was so bored, that is until I got home.
Instantly, my eyes were astonished! “Woof, Woof!” When I looked down, I saw the most beautiful sight in the world -- a brand new beagle! I was flabbergasted! We played and played until we couldn’t play any more. Then, I decided to name her. The new friend must have a name. I decided to call her “Tootles”. After thirty minutes, my dad and I skipped up to the store and bought her some toys and food. When we arrived back home, I roamed around my entire backyard with my K-9 in my arms. My dad drove us to my Mimi’s house. Mimi wanted to dress Tootles in her doll clothes. How funny is that? My beagle buddy liked to hop on my bed and watch TV with me. We almost fell asleep at suppertime from all the rough playing and getting to know each other. I had steak, and she had pizza with her Kibble. Soon after we biked back to our humble abode.
In the end, we were so exhausted. I fixed her a bed, and we fell fast asleep on the soft, cushiony, couch. My dad decided to put us both in my bed. A lot of excitement can come in dog form. My “doggie” surprise will never be forgotten! ”Woof!”

Hailey Blogs about being Principal
Have you ever been allowed to be in charge of the whole school? One boring school day, the loud intercom called me to the office. I wondered if I had done something wrong? I wracked my brain for anything that I would have done wrong – Nothing! Two minutes later, I touched down at the office. All of a sudden, Mrs. McDaniel said that I had won a special contest and I was now the principal of Sneads Elementary School for the day.
When the office staff all congratulated me, I replied thank you! I hugged Mrs. McDaniel and everyone there. Instantly, I told the old principal to go home and take a much needed break. I thought of what I could do first. I promised our fearless leader that I would take care of the school like a mama watches over her child.
Suddenly, I approached a room and told the teacher to also go home to their habitat to chill. I was the principal now. I equally did the same to each classroom. I joyfully explained to the kids that it was an order to party and have fun. I also said to have lots of recess! In the end we ordered three boxes of cheese pizza. We also laid our eyes on some movies like “Bee Movie”, “Monsters, Inc.” and for the girls “Sarah Plain and Tall". We socialized with friends and boogied to the jazz music. We all had a great time.
After a while, the kids got wild – so wild I could not control it. I called Mrs. McDaniel and begged for mercy and pleaded her to come back. I told her that kids were screaming and fighting and throwing food. All I could do was try to stop it and wait for Mrs. McDaniel. The kids got even worse. They went pure nuts. It was like an amusement park. Peeps were even destroying the playground.
When Mrs. McDaniel got to the school grounds, she said to all the kids that she was back in charge. I learned my lesson and to not party to much ever in a lifetime. I begged her not to call my parents. She said being principal is a big responsibility, and it is a lesson that I will never forget.

Crazy Confetti
Have you ever thought that being a principal of a school is awesome? Trust me, it’s not! One usual school day, we had a vote for which student was principal for a day. I hoped I would get chosen. I couldn’t wait until they brought the voting in. The screechy intercom came on. I was wide-awake, unlike usual. I usually sleep in math class, but not today! I waited and waited for them to announce who won the principal for a day. They called out. It was me! I couldn’t believe my ears!
The next day, I called out that there was no rules and free smoothies and free confetti string. Everyone was screaming up and down the halls. Everything was out of control.
You wouldn’t believe what happened next! I walked in the lunchroom, and there was screaming and yelling. I had an ominous feeling. I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do next. Everywhere I looked there were kids running around shrieking.
Out of the blue, someone popped up around the corner. A first grader sprayed me with confetti string!
I shrieked, “AHH!”
Everything was going wrong! I couldn’t hear a thing. I think I busted my eardrums. You would think that a kid wouldn’t want the day to end. NOT ME!!!! I wanted the day to end right this second!
"Woo…. was that a relief,” I sighed.
My story wouldn’t be complete unless I told you the happy ending. The day had finally came to an end. I spent the next school day cleaning the entire school and getting over a killer headache! But the good news is that I learned what a big job being principal is. I definitely now have a new found respect for the position!

Crazy Friday
Can you imagine how just hearing your name announced over the intercom could become the craziest day of your life? One normal Friday, as I tried to unpack, the morning announcements flooded the room. Mrs.Gilley, our school secretary, said that they had important news. The FCAT Writing scores for fourth grade had come in and only a few students made a perfect six. To my surprise, my name was called, and they wanted me to come to the office.
As I opened the office door, I could see our principal, Mrs.M. She said that because I put my heart into the writing test that I would be named principal for the day and that I would get to make one rule. I said my rule would be for kids to do what ever they wanted. She said all right and announced the new principal and the new rule. Kids were chanting my name!!! Sweet!!!
Out of the blue, teachers started attacking me with complaints. They told me kids weren’t listening to them. I told them to chill and cool off. I told them to let my peers have their fun. The educators said they were leaving.
I carelessly replied, “I do not care,” and put my feet on my powerful desk.
WOW, teachers are chatterboxes!
As I maneuvered around the school, I could see that kids were having a blast! But, I have to admit, some kids were going nuts. Suddenly, Pre-Kiers were pushing a chair that had their teacher duck taped to it with an apple tied to her mouth. This could not be good! Boy, do I wish Mrs. M would be here to fix this.
Right before my eyes was our school’s real leader, Mrs. M. Man, was it a relief to see her here. When she saw the kids, she ran to her office and said over the intercom for every single body to pack up, go home, and calm down. She also compared the students to wild chimps.
Finally, Mrs.M. sent the last kids home, and I apologized for the trouble I had caused.
I softly whispered,” Sorry for the messing every thing up.”
She said it was no problem, and thanked me for watching the school for
her. I left after that with a monstrous headache.
You know, being leader of the school is awesome, but at the same time, hard. Even though it gets boring, I’d rather be listening to my teacher teach a math lesson. Without a doubt!

Austin Blogs about being Principal
School Disaster
One beautiful Monday morning, about a minute after I arrived at school, the intercom came on, and Mrs. McDaniel called me to the office. I thought I was in trouble. As I slowly walked into her office, she said, “Take a seat Austin.” I was more frightened than a cat on a hot, tin roof. She asked me to be the principal of the week, because I have always made straight A’s on my report cards.
Suddenly, I started thinking about the things that I could do at our school to make it more fun. I told all the students to bring their video games, water guns, and footballs to school. The next day, all the students brought the items I told them to bring. The children started shooting each other with water guns, playing football, and playing video games during class time. The students were told to put away all the toys by the teachers. They were getting out of control.
Finally, the school became a disaster. Now I realized that I am not cut out to be a principal. The school is for us to get a good education and have control over ourselves. Therefore, I decided to respect my teachers and my principal, and I enforced all the normal rules. In no time, I had the school running like normal.

Ashleigh Blogs about being Principal
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be principal of the school? It all started when we were in the middle of our math lesson. The principal called me on the ancient intercom. I blasted to the office, and when I got there, Mrs. McDaniel said that she had some big news for me. She said that I was principal for the day!
Out of the blue, people started to scream UFO UFO UFO! I zoomed to the P.E field, and there was party for me. One of the kids was choking to death. Good thing Mrs. Tab was there. She had to do the Heimlich Maneruver on him. Mrs. Parish passed out. She does not like anything like that. But after all that was over, we finished our party. I strolled over to the cafeteria to get some apple and orange juice. When I got there, the kids were dancing on the tables. Once they glanced at me, they knew they were busted. I had a vicious look on my face; it also looked fire engine red. I gave them a published speech, then I told them to get to class.
Finally, my mission was accomplished, and all the kids were in their classes studying. I was in my office relaxing and enjoying the day. It was awesome and definitely a day I will never forget.

Brandon Blogs about being Principal for the Day!
“Children Chaos”
I’ll never forget the day I was principal of Sneads Elementary School. It all started one usual math class when I was about to go to sleep. After I heard the buzzing intercom, you knew I wasn’t asleep anymore. Then I heard the intercom say for me to report to the office A.S.A.P. As I strolled over to the office, Mrs. McDaniel just happened to say I was going to be the official man in charge. Well right now, as the new principal, I announced the new rules. Oh, right, there aren’t any rules! Ha!
All at once, I opened the cafeteria door, kids were swinging from chandelier to chandelier like a monkey, and one kid was swimming in spaghetti like a fish. Don’t even get me started on what I saw in Mrs. H’s classroom! Somebody must of threw a marker and hit Mrs. Hawthorne in the head. KABOOM!!! Either Mrs. H exploded or that kid swimming in the spaghetti ate too much. As I scurried over to the lunchroom, I looked through the door and then I jumped through the threshold. I don’t know how to say it but every kid in the cafeteria was covered in butter. I think I know where it came from. Of course, it came from the popcorn machine. Duh!
After Mrs. McDaniel returned from her short vacation, I begged her to be principal again. She finally agreed. All in all, I was a student once more, and everybody was back doing school work. Oh, and trying to run a school is harder than you think. Trust me!
