Hello, Abigail!
I apologize to you for the late reply, I accidentally missed your post.
If you want to create the Static Front Page and a separate “Blog” page to show your blog posts
please, follow the instructions from the next articles:

Important:
After you change your homepage to static, you will lose, your Slider and front page boxes. So, to enable the Front-page boxes to appear on your Static Frontpage, you need to open Customizing ▸ Frontpage Boxes->Generalmenu and set Visibility on Front Page.

To get back the slider, edit your front page (Dashboard->Pages->your front page/edit)
then scroll down to the bottom of the page, and enable slider on the page in “Agama options” meta box.
