The Kindness Retreat By Makayla

First we went to school. At 9:40 we went to our bus, which took us on a ten minute
drive to our field trip at The Kindness Retreat. Once we got there, we had to put our lunches
on a table and drop our coats on the floor. Then we went to line up on a red line in single file
order to go to the other side of the gym,where our field trip would be. Once our class got to go
in, there was a surprise waiting for us. There was a ton of high-schoolers that stood in a tunnel
waiting with their hands sticking out so they could give us high-fives when we walked through!
It was going to be a fun day.
         
Once we were in the right side of the gym, the leaders (Todd, Rita, and Maddie,) said we 
were going to play some games. First, we played a Pirate game. My favorite saying in the Pirate
game was 'Seagulls in the Sky!', and we had to duck. Next we played Soul Train. That was fun.
Everybody got involved, even the teachers! More leaders came in and were the Soul Trains. The
Soul Trains made us form into one big circle. Then they went around the gym picking us kids up
and adding us on the train. That was my favorite game. Then they put us into some small groups.
We did an activity with our groups and then it was time for lunch.

After lunch, the leaders showed us some dance moves. Then we got to dance with them! It 
was really fun. After dancing, we went into some groups with one leader. I don't remember my group
leaders name, but she was a fun leader. When it was time to leave, I was sad. We had such a fun time!
So we went and got our coats and lunch boxes. We even got a card and pin! That had been a very fun 
day.
