In the morning Miss Davis was playing a record for us. We were sitting in a circle she was going to pass the whole recorder around the circle to us to try when she was passing it we were holding it nicely. I was  squished so I moved back  then it was time for learning we putted our hands in the little holes.

We were playing the song b we were gonna play five notes and we only played two the first song. we played was the b song we were using our left hand for the record. we had to put our thumb onto the back and our middle finger onto the middle record after that we started blowing the recorders and it was super annoying and loud.

Then we stopped playing our recorders and we played the song c so we didn't have to put our thumb in the back so we only have to put our hands in the front recorder. We started blowing it and everyone’s recorder was like a different sound then we stopped playing the recorders and we had to blow again.  

Meanwhile we hold our recorders nicely and we were going to blow our recorders around the circle and we had to blow it three times some people recorders was sounding wrong. Miss Davis had to put their hand onto the right holes. I felt very excited to blow it and confident
