Tyquan’s Day

Today I had a great day. I had breakfast, I did a crossword puzzle and then the Video Challenge. One of our challenges was to make up a show about West River, Mill River and Q River. I was a gang of fish that liked to breakdance. I battled against another fish named Shareece and she had a vision that she was going to win the competition. After she won the money. She said, “It’s all about the seaweed, baby!” They said, “Let’s go party with the ospreys.” Then we had to do a skit in a language besides English. They used Spanish. I didn’t understand what they were saying. We had lunch. Then we played golf and I hit my ball the farthest because mine went into the bushes. Someone almost got it farther than that once. Then we had the Game Challenge. It was like Monopoly. There was three people in three groups. The three names of the groups were Mill, West and Quinnipiac. They have to roll the dice to see who gets the largest number to see who goes first. After that you have to roll the dice to see how many times you go. There were hooks that mean you had to go back to the starting line. There was a black hole that meant go backwards. There was a plus sign that meant go forward. There was a subtraction sign to go backwards. There was a seahorse that you have to ride until you see another seahorse. The first one to make it from Long Island Sound to their river wins. The next challenge was the Song Challenge. Our beat was the Smurf’s song. The song was:

Please pick up your trash in the West River
Or else you won’t be swimming here
So try your best to keep it clean there
