WESLANDIA by #agent9

This week my classmates and I were reading the story Weslandia. What is ‘Weslandia’ you might ask? Weslandia is a story about a curious boy that's misunderstood by his parents and everyone else. Throughout the story Wesley has changed. In the beginning of the story Wesley is a shy boy who was misunderstood by everyone. He was also bullied a lot by other boys who didn’t  understand him, but by the end of the story when he planted his plants he started to open up to other boys  and people and the boys who used to bully him became his friends. The boys start to come to Wesley's big flower patch which he called WESLANDIA. I think that every child should read this book because it is amazing, and it teaches an important lesson on discovering new things.  

Have you ever wondered why you lose teeth? By #Emilyagent10

Have you ever wondered why you lose teeth? You know those things that hang around in your mouth! Yeah those! Have you ever wondered why you lose your baby teeth or why don't we just keep them in her mouth and why don't they just grow? Well a baby tooth is called a deciduous tooth. So basically when you lose the deciduous tooth another tooth comes down as your permanent tooth. Now these teeth can not be replaced, so if you lose one you're on your own kiddo. Your first tooth will start to appear on your gum when you’re baby-about six months old. And when your three years old all of your teeth should be in your mouth. You start losing your baby teeth you are about six years old, and when  all of your teeth are done falling out you'll be around 12 or 13 years old. Real question is why do you need teeth? Well you really do need teeth!  If you think about it like this you're not going  to be able to chew if you don't have teeth. They help you swallow, and they help you digest your food by breaking into tiny little pieces. But why don't our baby teeth just grow? What did you think they  just grow from your other tooth?l So basically you have another tooth that's come down. So when It  comes down it's going to push each other teeth  down which is going to cause it not to be able to grow. it is just going to fall out. Quite impossible for your teeth to grow because you're going to have another tooth at the top. Which is going to cause a lot of pain when it falls out, but I guess it's worth it. I think I got a wiggly tooth. Got to go!

How long has gymnastics been a sport? By #Claudiaagent27

Being a gymnast this is a question I wonder a lot. Some people believe that gymnastics has been around for 1000 years while some think 4000 years. I feel it’s more towards 1000/2000 years, but some parts may have existed before gymnastics. Instead of 1000 years ago, gymnastics actually started in 1774. I didn’t think that gymnastics started that long ago. I found it surprising that woman didn’t start gymnastics until 1862 while men did it way before hand. Gymnastics started off with the floor and vault, but later on in the late 1700’s the bars, beam and jumping events were added to go with the floor and the vault.

Emojis by #Caitlynagent2

This week’s blog is on EMOJI’S. Emoji’s are little pictures of foods, smileys, animals, and more. You can use emoji’s on: social media, online, when sending something, to show emotions, and to just be silly people with them. I use emoji’s every day. They are like a new song on the radio that is really catchy, and it’s stuck in your head so you always want to sing the song. It’s so addicting. Any one has access to emoji’s all they have to do is go into settings and turn on emoji language.

The person who created emojis is Shigetaka Kurita. He created the first emoji in 1998 or 1999 no one knows. There is a total of 845 emoji’s.

I really like like emoji’s because they are cool and so unique. What is your favorite emoji? My favorite emoji is the winky face emoji. 

The Blue Bunny Blog by #Jacobagent23

This week I got to bring the blue bunny home! Here is what the blue bunny thought about this week. I was very excited to go over to Jacob’s house. I really couldn’t wait except he stayed for homework club, and I had to wait inside his cubby. Then finally homework club was over. He picked me up and started walking and then he stopped for at least 5 minutes. Then he started walking again. After 10 min or so we arrived at his house. I was very excited. I couldn’t to hang out with Jacob. When Jacob’s little brother came from school and saw the box I was in. Then he opened it up and saw that I was in there. He totally freaked out. After 2 days at night there was a big thunderstorm that woke me up but not Jacob. Today is probably my last day with Jacob. I don't know, but I wonder who I will go with next.

The Ice Cream Blog by #Jackagent13

This week I am doing my blog on ice cream. Ice cream is a frozen, soft food made with flavored and sweetened milk fat. There are lots of flavors of ice cream, but some basic ones are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and mint chocolate chip. My favorite flavor is green monster, which is basically just mint chocolate chip. What’s yours? My favorite place to get ice cream is Flint Farm. Flint Farm is where you can buy things you would buy at a farm, but they mainly sell ice cream in the summer. On Saturday and Sunday summer nights, the line can get really long, mostly because it’s after dinner, and people want some ice cream for dessert. Some people don’t like ice cream. I do, and I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t . Do you like ice cream?

My Review of Tessa Netting By #lexieagent6

Tessa Netting is a youtuber that also is a fangirl of Harry Potter and Dr. Who. She plays Hazel on Bunk’d and calls her subscribers starfish. If you like Harry Potter, her videos are great! I suggest her because she is funny, smart, and amazing! She does funny voices when reading letters, and gives you a shout out in her mail time videos. She might make a joke that only her starfish understand, or she might mention that she cried when the W.B. logo was on television. If you enjoy funny videos, go watch Tessa!

How a Pencil is Made by #Avaagent20

Have you ever wondered how a pencil is made? I am going to explain the first 5 steps. There are actually 12 in all.The first step to making a pencil is putting lumps of graphite and clay into a rotating drum and water is then added. The mixture is combined for 3 days. The second step is when another machine squeezes all the water out of the mixture. Leaving a grey goop. Then it air dries and strengthens for 4 days. The third step is that huge wheels smush the goop into a powder and add water to make a thin paste. The 4th step happens when the paste is put through a metal tube and comes out in the shape of sticks and are cut into led pieces to be put into the pencil. The last step I am going to tell you about today is step 5 after the lead drys it is put into an oven and cooked in 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks for reading! I got all my information from General Pencil.com so if you want more detail try that website.        

Headphones by #Ceciliaagent5

Headphones are small devices you put against or near your ears. They are used for blocking noises around you and playing other noises in your ear. This makes the noises you hear louder and blocks off the noise from anything around you. This is very useful because other people can't hear the noises that you hear loud and clear. Headphones are sometimes annoying to others because you can't hear the people around you that might want you to hear them.

 

 

The Blue Bunny Blog by #Emilyagent10

Hello everyone! Blue bunny here and I got to hang out with Emily, agent 10, for 2 weeks! So let's hop right in! Over the week I made a new friend named Cornelius the pig, and oh boy it was fun to stay with him! I got to have dinner with Emily and her grandmother. Wow! She is a good cook. She made us mashed potatoes and steak with green beans and some cranberry sauce. On Tuesday, I got to go to dance and it was AWESOME because I got to bust out my moves. But, it was also loud however, I didn't care. Emily is a great dancer. On Wednesday I got to help Emily make a cozy sleeping bag. On Thursday we finished my sleeping bag. And boy is it comfy!

On Monday, the first day of vacation, we went to Patriot place. We walked in to Claire's and they bought me a…… FANCY TOP HAT. It made me look so handsome. Then, I got to hangout with some stuffed animals, and they were really nice.The next stop was Moe’s, a Mexican restaurant. I got a taco so me and Emily shared it.the we got to take a picture up up up above the football field. It was really high, and I got scared but she calmed me down. Then my day got even better when we went to get ICE CREAM!!!! Emily was a little mad because I almost ate the whole thing...oops. When we got home I got to wear my fancy top hat. Then I got to have dinner with her grandmother again. On Tuesday I hung out with this big furry thing. I think it's called a dog. I'm not sure but she kept me very warm and cozy. On Wednesday I got to help Emily do the book project she is so creative it looks awesome! On Thursday Emily and I got to fix her book project. On Friday she had dance practice, and I got to meet her whole team. I showed them some of my moves and they were impressed. We had dance again on Saturday. On Sunday Emily had her last dance rehearsal for East coast edge, and she was so good. She also went to musical theater, and I got to watch her dance in the office through the computers. I've never seen a computer through a camera before. It was so awesome! Then the end of the week is here. I have to go. But I had so much fun hanging out with Emily, and I can't wait to stay with some more people

My Photo Journey

 

 

Hockey by #Devinagent17

There are 2 teams that have to verse each other, and if one team has the most points at the end of the game wins and they go on to another team to face off. The two teams have to face each other and try to win the Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup is a trophy that you win if you're in the finals and win. But there's no rule that you can shove  another player into the plastic wall that protects the people in the stands cheering. In hockey the crowd will cheer for their favorite team.  When playing ice hockey you have to wear ice skates to play.

Ice Cream Talk By #Teddyagent4

Ice Cream Talk is a game on ABCya.com. It teaches you about nouns and verbs. How it works is it gives you a sentence. You have to find the verbs, nouns, or verbs and nouns. You are a monkey with an ice cream cone. You are going up against a monster. Every time you get a noun, or verb you get a scoop of ice cream. A noun is a person, place, or thing. A verb is an action word. If you get ten scoops without a mistake you win. It might seem easy, but it is actually really fun. It is also challenging. I think they should make more levels where you have to get more scoops. I would recommend it to everyone. I think they should make a different version where you have to find spelling mistakes. It teaches you about nouns and verbs. If you get an answer wrong you will lose. It lets you play till you get ten though. Even if you get one word wrong you lose which I think is unfair. You should have a certain number like three you have to get wrong to lose. 

Is there a planet between Mars and Jupiter? By #agent9

Is there a planet between Mars and Jupiter? A lot of people might remember the old saying they did. You know the one  to help you  remember the atmosphere.They might have to re do it. Why you might ask?  I'll tell you why because scientists found a dwarf planet. The  planet between Mars and Jupiter is called Ceres. Ceres is a planet just like Pluto, and  it’s  also a dwarf planet.A  dwarf planet is a planet smaller than the usual planets. That's why they call it a dwarf planet.

Blue Bunny By #lexieagent6

This week, I got to go home with Lexie. Most of the week I watched her pets play, not daring to play with them, but on Friday, it got interesting. I got to go outside. I watched them have a snowball fight, and helped them build an ice sculpture. Seeing snow was wonderful. It was like sugar powdered outside. The snow was glorious in a way I can’t describe. It was fun staying at Lexie’s house.

What was the first Girl Scout cookie? by #Claudiaagent27

Girl scout cookies are family favorites. Whether it’s Thin Mints, Caramel Delites, or others almost everyone has a favorite cookie. Girl scouts like myself will sell cookies by having booths at stores, or even going door to door around the neighborhood. With experience having booths work better. The first scout was Juliette (Daisy) Gordon Low. She was who invented Girl Scouts. The first level of girl scouts came from part of her name, Daisy.

My review on The Charlie Horse by #Caitlynagent2

    This week’s blog is on The Charlie Horse. The Charlie Horse is a restaurant that has a bowling alley, an arcade, and occasionally live music. On February fourth, it was my birthday so my family and I decided to go out to eat at The Charlie Horse. I really enjoyed it there.

    The restaurant was really big. I noticed that it was based around sports because the restrooms were called the men’s locker room and the women's locker room. Personally I enjoyed this feature because it brought more culture into the restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were very nice. I thought the food was good. They had  wide variety of choices. If it was your birthday you would receive a free desert which was a cupcake with a very rich icing on top. I almost thought the icing was too sweet.

    I didn’t get to go to the bowling alley, but from what I saw it looked a little small, but very popular.

    Unfortunately, there wasn’t any live music going on.  So, we couldn’t listen to the awesome music.

    We did, luckily, get to go to the arcade. I thought it was amazing because they had games that you normally don’t see at an arcade. One thing that really caught my little eye was that there were NO TICKETS!!! Absolutely no tickets, because…. they were all electronic tickets. That means every ticket you earn it automatically transfers to your arcade card. I think the arcade was a bargain in a beautiful bag. Every dollar you spent was equal to two points. After you finished your card you could go to the kiosk and check how many points you got. If you were wanting more ways to get points you could add money to your card. The prize station was huge. You could get so many prizes. I got around 8,000 points, so I was able to get two nail polish kits, a lot of candy and a plastic bow and arrow.

    I would want to change a lot of things at The Charlie Horse. Two examples are: There would always be live music and you could do bowling, arcade and have a meal for just $200.

I hope you guys go check out The Charlie Horse. It is located in West Bridgewater.

   

Why does Jell-O jiggle? by #emilyagent10

Do you LOVE jell-o? Well you maybe not after reading this. “Yeah  right she’s not gonna change my mind.” Well save your thoughts until the end. Let’s talk about what is inside jell-o. Inside of jell-o there's this very yucky ingredient. That yucky ingredient makes the jell-o jiggle. It’s called gelatin. “What's so yucky about it?” you may ask. Well it's so gross because of what it is made out of. It’s made out of animals,and humans also collagen. “What it is collagen?” you may be wondering. It is a protein that makes skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Pretty gross at least I think. So if you put the gelatin in hot boiling water it forms a jiggly cub figure which  we all know as jell-o. “Ok that’s  really gross.” Told you I was right. I’m going to have some jell-o now. Bye!
