Singing in the Rain by #marissaagent12

This weekend I’m auditioning for a play called Singing in the Rain. So I decided to blog about the movie.


   I recently saw this movie, and it was kind of weird because this movie was made so long ago.  My favorite character was Lina because her voice was so squeaky. In fact we nicknamed her squeaky. Another character who I thought was funny is Cosmo, especially in a song called Make them laugh. My favorite part was when this vocal coach was trying to help Lina talk right. Lina's voice

 Singing in the Rain is about making the first movie with dialogue. It ends up being a musical, and Lina has the squeaky voice. They end up meeting a girl with a great voice who sings for Lina while recording for the movie. Lina is still in the movie, but she has to lip sync.

This is what Lina looks like.

 I encourage you to try watching Singing in the Rain. You might like it. I hope you enjoyed my blog.

The Blue Bunny Blog by #archithagent23

Hello, It is me the Blue bunny, and this blog is going to be about my with Agent 23 on rock climbing. The first thing we did was get my ticket to get to the fun part. THE CLIMBING PART!!!!!!!!! After we finished with our tickets, now we can get to the fun part.  climbed first. It was sooooo easy. Then I went on to the harder ones. One was so hard, there was a big wave. I watched Agent 23 climb to the top. I thought that was really cool. There was three types of climbing. Rope climbing, normal climbing, and level climbing. I just did normal climbing and level climbing. After that, we had dinner and went home.

The next day Agent 23 took me to do Sun Salutation in a place called Shaka. Then we played games there. We learned some stuff there like in just 15 mins!!!!!! When we got home, we had lunch, and then we went out to go shopping. After shopping with me and Agent 23’s family. We had dinner at Panda Express and Taco Bell. I liked it so much that he dove right into the bowl of Orange Chicken (a dish from Panda Express ) After we couldn’t have another bite we set out to home. That was probably the best day ever!!! Hope you liked my blog.



This is me and agent 23!!

American Ninja Warrior Vegas Finals! by #charlesagent6




Agent six here with ANOTHER blog on American Ninja Warrior! I know it seems like I am obsessed with Ninja Warrior, and too be totally honest with you I AM! Anyways I am here to tell you about
American Ninja Warrior Las Vegas Finals.
American Ninja Warrior Vegas Finals consists of four stages: stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and the most feared Mt. Midoriyama. A lot of people are intimidated by it because the courses leading up to it are so grueling and by the time you get to it you are gasted. Only two people have made it to Mt. Midoriyama: Geoff Britten, and Isaac Caldiero. Isaac Caldiero emerged to victory, and won ONE MILLION dollars right away.
This year in season eight there was one of the fewest finishers ever after stage one. Then only two people made it to stage three. My all time favorite because he is so awesome... Drew Drechsel and long hair opera singer, Daniel Gill. I think both of these people should have made it to stage three because they are both so strong and capable of making it that far.

RAVIOLIS AND CREAMY PESTO by #emmaagent5and#oliviaagent17

        On Friday, Olivia came over my house. When it was dinner time my mom asked us what we wanted to eat. She suggested that we could have raviolis and a sauce. We  picked a sauce and told her we wanted to make it ourselves. She said okay, but she would be in the kitchen while we did it.

  • First she went over the rules. She told us the kitchen is not a place to fool around in.
  • Then she turned on the stove. She put a pot with water on it. Then she put raviolis on it.
  • Then it was time for us to make our sauce.
  • We put all the ingredients it a pan and we were ready to cook it.

  Olivia stirred first while I make a delicious smoothie to drink with our dinner. We put cool whip on it and drank it with straws. Then It was my turn to stir. I stirred pretty much until it was done.
When dinner was done we ate. The creamy pesto sauce didn’t smell good but was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  After we ate we went over to her trampoline and jumped a lot. But the trampoline was filled with snow and ice so we fell a lot. Later we went upstairs and played just dance with her brother, and we did gymnastics. It was really fun. Then my step mom came over to pick me up. Then I Olivia  went home. Thanks for reading our blog.

Hydroponics by #zoeagent1

This week I am doing my blog on Hydroponics. It is a type of garden that relies on just water nutrients, and light. My family started one in our laundry/entry room. We are growing all sorts of fun herbs like:
  • chives
  • thyme
  • parsley
  • basil
  • cilantro
  • rosemary
  • oregano.

Plus vegtable favorites that everybody will always love like tomatoes and lettuce. Plus drum roll please…..strawberries. Most haven’t sprouted yet, but I believe that they are going to come in soon. The plumbing system my dad installed to keep the water flowing is really complicated, and if you don’t believe me here is a picture:

Anyways I can not wait for us to get all kinds of fresh herbs, spices and vegetables. Would you ever consider making a Hydroponics garden in your house? Just the perfect question to end my blog with!!




Thanks for listening!

William's Week by #williamagent7



In this blog I will talk about my week! On Monday I found out that my birthday is very soon. I am planning on having it at a movie theater because I haven’t been there in a while. I also made some figures out of wood. On Tuesday I made a animation about Spiderman! I did pretty good on it. He was swinging from building to building. On Wednesday my little brother and I tried drawing each other. It’s awesome how we draw people in different ways because they look so different! On Thursday I made a stop motion animation with my lego figures. It was about a shark attack! Some of the people looked like my friends and I. Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you read my next one!

Websites that help store Data by #jakeagent9

“OMG!!! I’m out of data! What do I dooooooo? I should just ditch sprint and go to Verizon. Ya, that sounds like a good idea. Wait… I will still have to pay the fee. SHOOT! Wait a sec... this says the data for my dad’s engineering plan.*Sigh*. Now that was scary,” said the teenager.
No I’m not talking about your phone. I’m talking about collecting data for a problem, idea, or maybe for for a test. One choice is Google Keep. I like and recommend it because it is easy to use. One way it is helpful is because you can make a note and you can set a reminder. Another way it is helpful is you can make a list to put all your data in. In the list you can also cross things out like if you were using it as a shopping list.
Another website that can help you collect data is Google Sheets. Now I love this one for multiple reasons. One reason is that you can color in blocks, so if you color code them you got a neat, organized, and colorful data sheet. Now before you start color coding hear this, you can also type in the boxes. That should help you so much more. Finally the best part of Google Sheets is that it was made like a graph, so you can type all you data in the order that you like.
Now the last website that might help you store data is Microsoft Office. This is unique from all of the other websites because it is a way to communicate with the that people you work with. You can also put your data in folders. Lastly it is great for meetings for multiple reasons like presentations, typing data, and for just saving family photos/memories.

Thanks for reading my blog and hopefully you do well on your next presentation or capturing your next big family moment.

My Hockey Tryouts by #joshagent16

I'm currently on the Tri County Saints hockey team, but next year I'm going to the Boston Bandits, a faster hockey league that challenges me but is right for me, I have tried out for many different teams, Including the 95 Giants, the Level Night's, Boston Bandits, and I'd be a fill in goalie for the Tri County Saints. I am nervous about the team because it is a lot different and if you have a bad game, a thing that you have to do that involves what you did wrong but works you harder than you should work  like so many sprints that you're body can't take. I decided to go to the Bandits because:
  1. They have only one goalie
  2. They are probably the right league for me
  3. I like them.                                                                                                
This league is different because I actually have to sign a contract to get on their team.

It is the real deal! But I enjoy the challenge! This is awesome to experience, I can't believe it!

What is a joke? by #iniyanagent15


You probably hear at least one a day. What am I? I’m a joke. The question is what exactly are jokes. Well if you think about it a joke is a phrase that someone says to catch attention or to make people laugh. Why do we tell jokes? I think people usually say jokes to grasp everyone’s attention.

I searched through a couple of websites, and I found some really cool jokes (I got the jokes from funology and MyTownTutor):

Q: April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?
A: Pilgrims!

Q: What do you call a dog on the beach in the summer?
A: A hotdog!

Q: How do you mend a broken pumpkin?
A: With a pumpkin patch!

Q: How do eskimos make their bed?
A: With sheets of ice and blankets of snow!

Q: Why don’t mountains get cold during the winter?
A: They wear snowcaps!

Do you ever tell jokes but never get any attention? Well guess what, if you follow these three tips you’ll be a joker yourself. ( These tips came from Comic Wonder and some advice I got from some of my friends.)
  • Make sure your jokes are understandable. Your jokes should be understandable so you’ll actually get laughs. Also make sure you know your material, so you don’t blank.
  • Smile. It is important to smile when you tell a joke because some people might actually laugh along. You can even use different voices for different people in your joke.
  • Have fun telling jokes. “If you have fun nothing can go “wrong”.” (Quote by me)
I hope you found these facts useful, and I hope you try them out.

Diners by #Sophiaagent20


In 1872, history was made! Well, to Americans. Walter Scott was the first man in the USA to sell food out of a horse pulled wagon. Though not fancy, business went bazerk!  Would you like to know what this wagon, soon to have another wagon that is identical also made by WS, would soon be called? A DINER!!!

In my family if someone says we are going to an old fashioned diner my father and I, especially me, go crazy! There are some obsessions I have that are quite obvious… like my love of pandas! Diners are just one love of mine I don’t express to the fullest! There is no specific reason I love these restaurants. Maybe it’s the classic warm feeling of them when you walk in. It could be the warm delicious burgers, or the amazing ice cream and soda floats/ milkshakes! There are so many reasons I love these vintage stop-and-eats. If you have been yo one, why do you like them?
Where was this horse-wagon food-selling first-diner in the United States? Well, it wasn’t that far from here! It all started in Providence, Rhode Island!  Something amazing doesn’t have to start far away! Read the article at the bottom to learn more about why diners are a great addition to America!

I got my information from:

Survivor by #katieagent3


Hello, this is Agent #3 reporting to you on… Survivor, season 34; Game Changers. In this blog I will tell you all about Season 34.
Season 34 takes place in Fiji, where they also filmed season 33. Twenty castaways who changed the game of Survivor were flown out to Fiji. Zeke Smith and Michaela Bradshaw were on the show of Survivor for both season 33 and 34.
The castaways are Caleb Reynolds, Ciera Eastin, Cirie Fields, Michaela Bradshaw, Ozzy Lusth, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Tai Trang, Tony Vlachos, Andrea Boehlke, Aubry Bracco, Brad Culpepper, Debbie Wanner, James “JT” Thomas, Jeff Varner, Hali Ford, Malcolm Freberg, Sarah Lacina, Sierra Dawn-Thomas, Troyzan Robertson and Zeke Smith. Sandra has won the game of Survivor both times she has appeared on the show, not season 34 though, making her the only 2-time winner.
The Survivor challenges are a balance between brains and strength, and provide prizes in the form of a reward or immunity from the next vote for the whole tribe. That means that the other tribes DO have to go to tribal council and vote someone off the tribe. Even if you do get voted off of the tribe early, and before the jury, you have to stay in a hotel for the remainder of the game. Why? If the contestants go home before the game is over then the people will automatically know when watching the season that those people don’t make it. So… that sort of ruins the suspense.
I hope that either Tai or Caleb win this season because Tai is really funny and Caleb had to be evacuated off of the island on the season he was on last because he was in a serious medical issue, and I want him to get a chance. Tai is just super awesome! If you watch Survivor, who do you want to win this season?

Butterflies by #maddieagent2


I have always been interested in butterflies, so I did a blog on them! Butterflies are insects, which are small animals with six legs. A butterfly's life contains four parts:
1) egg  
2) larva, or Caterpillar  
3) pupa, or cocoon,
and lastly the adult.  
Before butterflies get their marvelous wings, they are caterpillars then when they are ready, they go into their chrysalis, and come out with wings!  
Most caterpillars are herbivores, also known as plant eaters. The scientific name for the butterfly is Rhopalocera. Did you know that not only birds migrate but as do butterflies?

I HOPE YOU HAD A BLAST READING MY BLOG POST AND THAT YOU learned something from it!!!!!!

Launch V.S Sky Zone by #shawnagent10


This week I went to Sky Zone, and a couple weeks ago I went to Launch. I will tell you, the wait to get into Launch is not bad, but Sky Zone’s wait is awful. The wait at Sky Zone might be bad, but their trampolines are amazing. Sky Zone trampolines are amazing because you can do cool tricks on them. Some tricks are bouncing on your back and do flips. Launch’s trampolines are decent, but you don’t have too much space to do cool tricks. The dodgeball games at Launch goes quick, but there are no fair age groups. At Launch, the rounds are long, but the matches are kind of fair. The foam pit and main part are equally good. Also at Launch, there is one point where they have a laser light show.
Mom’s interview
Which place do you think is easier to get into?              
She thinks Launch is easier to get into because the registration process is easier.
Which place would you tell a parent to bring their kid if they asked you?
She said either one because they both have their pros and cons.
If you were a kid which place do you think you would enjoy more?
She chose Launch because you do not have to wait for your turn in dodgeball.
  In the end I like
  Launch more. Which
  one do you like more?

Snow Day by #shawnagent10


Morning: I woke up early and got out of bed. Curse my brother for running down the stairs so early! Anyways, after that I watched a little T.V. Then, I came up with an idea for my invention, which is a piece that you can put over your glasses before going swimming. Later in the morning, my brother and I played a game with a balloon in our basement.
After noon: My mom told me a good movie to watch. The movie is called Rudy. It is about a boy who said he couldn’t make the Noter Dame football team. It is a true story, and I recommend it. Later, I did my math homework and Hebrew School homework. That was the worst part of my day.
Interview
I asked my brother if he wanted to go to school over staying home on a school day? He said that he would want to go to school because he likes seeing his friends and his teachers. Do you think having a snow day is fun? He said sometimes because we do not have to do as much work.

        Please comment if you enjoy
snow days or school more.
I enjoy snow days  where
you can go outside and play

in the snow.

The Flu by #iniyanagent15



This week you may have noticed that I haven’t been at school. The reason why I wasn’t at school was because I had Influenza. Most people call it the Flu. The question is why do we get this highly contagious disease. We get the Flu when type A, B, or C viruses invade our cells. Another question you are probably thinking about is what are the differences between the Flu and the common cold. Both of these diseases often get confused with each other because they have common symptoms. Symptoms are effects of diseases. The only difference between the Flu and the common cold is that the Flu’s symptoms are more severe. So make sure you get your Flu shot!!Influenza, Flu, Fever, Grippe, ...

The Blue Bunny Blog by #Oliviaagent17

I got the blue bunny this last two weeks. It was really fun. This is is just one thing he did. One thing that was not really  fun was that he got to watch my dad and uncle redo the floors. But that's not cool, so then later that week he came outside with me to watch TV. I was practicing some gymnastics. Then this Monday my dog was eye balling the blue fur ball. After  he ran over and licked his face a lot. We had a lot of fun and did a lot of things like on Sunday Julia and I facetimed, and the blue bunny was with us. He also tried to clean my room which didn't work out so well. Now when we went outside we didn't go outside for a little. We went outside for three hours. We played with the chickens, and everything I went on the tire swing. I hoped you liked my blog.
