I always play Fortnite after school. It's like an addiction. It's just so much fun. In Fortnite you can talk to your friends, you can play scary games, happy games, funny games, fighting games, educational games, and practice games. But people usually play Battle Royale. In Battle Royale you fight and do challenges to level up. You get a reward if you have the battle pass. You get more rewards than people without the battle pass. In the battle pass you usually get six skins and gun wraps, gliders, music for the lobby, and backwear, and variants for the five skins. It also includes a secret skin called The Harold. She includes a glider, lobby music, gun wrap, pickaxe, and the skin. The skins in this include Spider Gwen, Bytes, Paradigm, Grizz, Meow Skulls, Lenox Rose, and Twyn. Battle Royale collabed with Spiderman, Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, Marshmallow, Star Wars, John Wick, Marval, DC, Predator, Kratos, Master Chief, and Dragon Ball. With the Dragon Ball collab, Fortnite bought the nimbus cloud, Kahme House, and KameKameha. The best part of Fortnite is to play with your friends. One of my friends plays. I knew him and played with for three years. He was really nice. He hasn't been on Fortnite in a year. I have over 100 skins in my locker right now.

Penguins by #Agent6
My favorite animal is a penguin because they are the only bird that can't fly. My favorite type of penguin is an Emperor Penguin because it's really tall. Another reason I like penguins is because they are the only birds that live on ice. Penguins eat fish, krill, and squid. Penguins predators are leopard seals and killer whales. There are 18 different types of penguins and some of them don't live in Antarctica. Some of them live in the Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and South Africa. Penguins are slowly going extinct and in not that long they won't be a species. A penguin usually lives 15-20 years, but sometimes they might die because killer whales and lion seals are predators to penguins. Another reason I like penguins is because they are the best bird that can swim. I also like penguins because they have pretty colors, and they are good hunters. When penguins are traveling on land it's called a waddle, but when they're traveling in water it's called a raft. Penguins have existed for 60 million years, and it's hard to believe that they're going extinct. I hope Penguins don't go extinct because I really like them.
Teacup Yorkies by #Agent21
Teacup yorkies are the smallest dog breed in the world. They are called teacup yorkies because they are so small they can fit inside a teacup, and other yorkie breeds can’t. Here is a link to see a video of a cute teacup yorkie. You will want one because they are so tiny and cute that you will really drool over their cuteness. Their colors are black, tan, gold, and sometimes white. The surprising one for me was they can be BLUE! The Teacup yorkie does not have drastic color change like you may think. They start changing color as adults like the black on a teacup will become blue and there will be more tan and gold. Yorkies are six to seven inches tall, which is almost the size of a baby. Teacup yorkies weigh two to seven pounds. Girl Teacups can be more obedient and calm when boy yorkies can be less obedient and jumpy.
Why do teacup yorkies make good pets? Teacup yorkies make good pets because they love affection and attention. They do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. Teacup yorkies have to be fed three to four times a day. Teacup yorkies are at high risk of getting hurt because they are so small. The stuff you would need for a teacup yorkie is a car seat and a leash and also chew toys. Why would animals need car seats? They need car seats because if they sat in the front seat and their owner got in an accident the teacup would easily be killed. This would be very sad. Dogs are the best!
Head Of The Meadow by #Agent13
Head Of The Meadow is my favorite beach! There are a lot of reasons why it's my favorite beach. One reason is because sometimes when we go there I get to hang out in a shallow area of water where my parents allowed me to swim. Also there was a cute starfish in the water. It felt spiky when I touched it. I also love when I play with my Barbies on the beach. It's so much fun. Then when we get there, I usually go to the water while my parents set up the chairs and blankets. By the middle of the day, I have a snack like either chips, fruit, water, or juice. Sometimes I love to play in the sand and make a big hole in the ground or make a sand castle. One time my mom saw a shark or maybe she didn't. I don't really know because I didn't see it. The last reason is that sometimes I get to hang out with my cousin or sometimes my family goes on their own to the beach. Those are all the reasons why I love Head Of The Meadow Beach! I think others should go to this beach because you can get some fresh air.
Camping with friends #Agent12
Over this past summer I went camping with my family and some family friends. At the campground where we stayed it was superhero week. We got to do a bunch of different activities that had to do with superheroes. My favorite activity was karaoke. At first I was feeling scared, but I really wanted to do it. So I got up the courage and just did it. It was so much fun that I did it again. I even talked my friend into doing the karaoke. She also was very nervous before performing, so we decided to do it together. Then she agreed it was a lot of fun. During the week we got to wear superhero costumes. They were really fun. I had a yellow mask and an orange cape. My favorite craft was a Wonder Woman sheet to color on. We also got to decorate the wall with our handprint dipped in paint, and then we stuck it on the wall. I liked playing Bingo, but unfortunately my friend did not win. We tried to win for her, but that didn’t happen. Since she was sad about not winning, I shared my prizes with her. Then we started to play with them. Finally, it was time for a movie. They played superhero movies for the whole campground to watch. That was my superhero week.
100!!! by #Agent10
A couple days ago my family and I went to visit my 100 year old aunt. But before that he went to get food and I suggested some McDonalds, and we thought about it and decided to get some. So what I got was 10 chicken nuggets and large fries because I just came from a soccer game. I was really hungry after burning all of my calories. But after we ate we went on an hour drive to an elderly home. When we got there she was so excited, and I got to wheel her outside to talk to her. We were talking about her son and she needed a little reminder only because she was a little tired. I took some pictures with her, and when we showed her she said, “I look scary“ and that cracked us up. I absolutely loved seeing her, and it actually was surprisingly very fun. Actually when we got there she was watching soccer! And I was very happy to see that because I love soccer. When I was bringing her back to her room to watch some tv, I met her roommate. She was very nice. I gave my Great Aunt a hug and said,”Happy birthday,” gave her a kiss on the head,and said I loved her and I went home.
What it was like having Appendicitis by #Agent8
Last year in the fourth grade I had this sickness called appendicitis. It is a sickness that everyone can get. Also it is not contagious. When I got it I would barely eat and drink. Also, I was very tired and slept a lot. My family and I didn't know what I had until I had to go to the hospital to get an ultrasound. When the doctors got the results back they decided I needed surgery. The moment I was told that I needed surgery I was so scared that I started crying. A child life specialist helped me to calm down. Their job is to make sure that you are calm and relaxed for the surgery so you can get it done and feel better soon. A way that she helped me is that I played on a tablet. Another way is that she stayed with me the whole time. My parents were really scared for me. When it was time for surgery my parents said goodbye to me. Then I got some medicine in me and an oxygen mask and counted backwards from ten. I probably made it to the number eight. When I woke up I was super tired and drowsy. After we got back in the room I kept sleeping. I woke up a few hours later when the medicine wore off. When I woke up the doctors made sure my stitches were good, gave me some food and liquids, and I slept more. Some food and liquids they gave are popsicles, water, chicken broth, and crackers. Then I went home, slept with my mom, and did nothing. When I went back to school I had to miss recess and gym, but when I missed gym I got to read or do school work. I had to keep my backpack really light. When I went to the nurses office for recess I invited a friend with me. That is what I learned from my appendicitis adventure.

Basketball Tryouts #Agent15
Basketball tryouts were in September this year. On the day of tryouts before it started, I was shooting with all my friends there. Then the coach blew his whistle, and we all went to the middle of the court. He told us to do layups first. We all had numbered jerseys, and the coach said 1-15 go to that side and 16-24 go to the other side. We started doing right handed layups first and then left. I wasn't very good with my left hand. After lay ups, the coach said we were going to do dribbling. Next after everybody went he told us that he's going to make teams of 3 v 3. In the first match, I got the first point but we lost at the end. In the second match, we won! For the last game it was a fair match up. I checked the ball and pulled up for one point and we had possession. I passed it to my teammate and he went in for a lay up but missed and the other team got the rebound. So the other team passed it to the corner, and he shot the ball and it didn't go in when it was done. We lost but it was a good last game.
Reading Minds by #Agent17
Last year I thought my parents could read my mind. You might be asking why would I ever think that my parents could read my mind, so I’ll give you a few examples of why. Example 1: When it was last year in April there was a MCAS starting soon. I was really horrified and nervous about it because I felt like I was either going to get a lot of questions wrong, forgot my Chromebook, or not charge it. But I didn’t tell my relatives because I was too scared to ever confess my fear. So I went into my room and tried to comfort myself. After a few minutes my mom came into my room and asked me what’s wrong. I didn’t really want to tell her, but I decided to. But after I told her I was really happy that my mom helped me gradually not be afraid. After she comforted me I was thinking how did she know? How did she know I was nervous about something or didn’t want to go to school tomorrow? Reason 2: When I was in my room a few weeks ago I was feeling really hungry, so I went downstairs to see what there was. My dad was downstairs just relaxing on the couch, so I went into the kitchen. There wasn’t anything that I wanted, so I went to my dad and saw a big pack of chocolate. I looked at my dad, and he said that I can’t have it and it was for my mom. Disappointed, I went back upstairs to my bedroom. I was then thinking how did he know I wanted those chocolates? Did he know I was thinking of them? Did he get powers to read people’s minds? But now I realize how they can tell. It’s because I’ve lived with my family for so long that they can tell my emotions. They can tell if I’m sad, happy, excited, or nervous about something. I sometimes can tell what my brother is feeling as well. Like on Wednesday he was raking leaves and he looked cold. I went out and started to comfort him.
How We Got Zoey By #Agent19
We got Zoey on October 11th, 2021. It’s been a year since Gotcha Day. Zoey is a Whoodle, half Poodle, half Wheaten Terrier. At first I was scared of her but now I love dogs. Her name used to be Tricksy, but then we named her Zoey. She is really fluffy, and she’s brown. She likes milk bones a lot, and I take her out for walks, play fetch with her, and feed her. I’m really happy we brought Zoey home, and I faced my fears.
My Basketball Tryouts by #Agent1
It was time for basketball tryouts. There were a lot of kids, everyone was either shooting, dribbling or playing against each other. The coaches were on the bench with their clipboards ready to start the tryouts. Since there were too many kids that signed up, some kids would not make the team. Tryouts had started with the coach getting us in a huddle and telling us the rules and all the other stuff and saying he wished all of us good luck. Then tryouts officially started. The first thing we did was some dribbling to see which hands were good at dribbling. After all the dribbling we did some layups with both of our hands. So when that was done we went into some shooting drills, foul shots, 3 pointers, 2 pointers, and mostly foul shots. After all of those drills we did some 3v3s half courts. There were at least 15 teams. Each team had at least 5 games. Some kids hogged the ball. Some kids had always shot 3 pointers, some kids always shot 2 pointers. Some only passed to one other teammate. After all of the 3 on 3 games we had huddled again, the coach was telling all of us that we did great. After the tryouts everyone left and went home.

Rubik’s Cubes are fun by #Agent14
I have always wanted to learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube, but I had never found a video that made sense to me. But that was probably because I got my first Rubik’s Cube when I was around seven years old. I always got so frustrated and gave up until I got into fourth grade. There was a kid in my class who already knew how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. So he taught about half of the class how to solve, and I learned very quickly. However my teacher banned Rubik’s Cubes, so we could only use them during lunch, indoor recess, and at the end of the day. So my lessons were cut up day by day. The first thing that I had to learn was how to make the cross and have it match up with the centerpieces. Once I had mastered that I learned how to align all the corners with the centerpieces; that was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Then I had to learn the second row, which came pretty easy but I still made a few mistakes here and there. I was now finally on to the home stretch. The last row first you had to make the yellow cross. Then you had to make the whole top yellow which was so confusing that I had to make a note card so I knew what I was doing. Then I learned two final moves. And that is how I learned to solve a Rubik’s Cube.
My first year of summer camp by #Agent11
My first year of summer camp was last summer. It was called Camp Billings in Vermont. A daily schedule starts with you waking up to a live bugle call. Then you went to the dining hall where you’d have breakfast. After breakfast was the morning program. My favorite programs were archery, tennis, and pickleball. This is followed by cabin time, which was thirty minutes that you do stuff with the kids in your cabin. Lunch was next. Furthermore there was a rest hour where you stayed in your cabin and rested. After rest hour was an afternoon program, and in each program they do different activities in the afternoon then the morning. Finally, after afternoon program is free time, which is a time when you do whatever you want except the programs are closed during the time. One of my favorite things to do during free time is gaga ball. The part I dislike the most is cabin cleanup. If your cabin got 100% in how well you and your friends clean your cabin you have a higher chance of getting honor cabin. If you get an honor cabin your cabin gets $10 more for a cabin party. When we were all done with cabin cleanup there was dinner.What I was most excited to tell you about is my favorite part of the day and the last part of the day is the evening program. The camp directors pick a game and the whole entire camp plays it. Finally it is the end of the day and it is time to sleep. At the end of the two weeks there is a cabin party, which is when your cabin parties for a half an hour. I couldn't do a few things like water skiing, kneeboarding and tubing until I was ten. but now I'm ten so I can do those things next year. That is my summer camp trip!
No more Butlers Or Maids by #Agent4
I don’t think there should be butlers in this world anymore because people should have the right to control their own life. The people who have butlers are basically just lazy because they make their butlers do everything. If someone wants to be a butler why not just work at a restaurant or help people set up parties. They can even help them do work around their house. There is no need for butlers in this world or maids. I’m not saying that they can’t help around the house. I'm simply saying that there is no need for butlers. The people who have butlers don’t really need them because they can just ask for some help. The royals also don’t need maids or anything like that because they can have friends and family help them do it. If the people who want to be butlers don’t want to work at a restaurant they can work as a house designer or something like that. I don’t want the world to be unfair with these maids and butlers. For the people who have butlers, they can get up off the couch and cook themselves some food.
How to play baseball by #Agent7
Baseball is a fun sport that is played all around the world. You have to have at least 25 players. In baseball, there are two teams. One team is up to bat, while the other team is in the field. A baseball field is played in a diamond shaped field. Here is a picture of a baseball field. The team in the field tries to get the batting team out. There are a couple of ways to get someone out. The pitcher can throw three balls down the middle called strikes. If that happens, the batter is out. Another way to get someone out is when a fielder catches the ball in the field. The last way to get out is if a fielder throws the ball to the first baseman who is on first base. If the first baseman gets the ball before the runner gets to first base, the runner is out. If the runner gets to first base before the ball gets to the first baseman, he is safe. If the batter hits a ball out of the baseball field, it’s called a homerun. There are four bases. First, second, third, and home plate. If the runner on a base steps on a base, they are rewarded a point. So, in the summary of baseball, your goal is to try and score as many runs as possible.
My Dream Job #Agent20
Hi, I’m Agent 20. When I grow up I would like to be an engineer. When I’m older I want to be an engineer because I have been designing boats for a very long time, so I could be a marine engineer. I have been designing robots that I would love to build in the future. Another option is a mechanical engineer. I love the job of engineering because there are so many different options for what you could do. The type of engineer I would like to be is a mechanical engineer because there are so many mechanical engineers making rocket ships, robots, and even self-driving cars. There is a mechanical engineer on YouTube that I like to watch named Mark Rober. Here is a link to his YouTube channel if you would like to learn more about him, Crunch Labs YouTube channel. Mark Rober worked at NASA for a long time before switching to YouTube to teach young engineers about engineering. He finds a way to make engineering fun and exciting. The reason I have been talking about Mark Rober so much is because he is what got me to like engineering and want to become an engineer when I am older. My goal of being an engineer is to make a rocket ship that can go to Mars if we haven’t done that by the time I’m older or to make one that can go beyond Mars. I love space and engineering so if you combine the two, you get rocket ship designer/engineer. Becoming an engineer has been a dream of mine for a long time.
Spooky Walk by #Agent5
Every year I have a party called a spooky walk where we invite friends and family for a haunted walk around a trail that I have in my backyard, and we fill it up with Halloween decorations.
Before we go on the actual haunted walk, everyone gets together and we do lots of fun and exciting games. For example, there are mummy runs. That’s where we all pick out of a hat, and there will be three mummies in it. Whoever picks the mummy has to get wrapped up in toilet paper and race other mummies. Then we had a competition to see who could pick up the most pieces of toilet paper (that way it doesn’t blow away and become litter). Another game we play is Hoop Circle and that's where everyone holds hands in a circle. You have a hula hoop. The object of the game is to get the hula hoop around the circle. You can’t let go of the other person's hand, and if you do you have to start the game all over. We also play games like three legged races or tag. If I were to pick my favorite game it would be mummy run.
When it gets dark we all line up at the finish line and go throw the haunted path, and we all go throw Boo! Aww! Everybody screams. After we go through the path once we all play going through over and over again until it’s time to go. The last time I had one, one stayed till 10:45.
The Columbus Day Tournament by #Agent2
Last weekend I competed in the Columbus Day Tournament (CDT)! There were six teams in our division, and we played against three of them in the first round. The teams that placed first, second, third, or fourth competed in the playoffs on Monday! We played our first three games on Saturday. I arrived at 12:25 PM because our first game was at 1:00. We warmed up before the game started. At the end of the match, the score was five to 2. We won!! We had an hour break before our second game, so we went to our tent to relax and eat to get recharged. The second team we played was tougher than the first team. It was a very good game. In the end, the score was tied, 1 to 1.
When the game was over, we went back to our tent. I had a very filling energy bar to get ready for the last and most important game of the day. For this game, we played on a field on the other side of the complex. We took golf carts over to the field to warm up. Once we started playing we realized that this would be a very tough game. The game ended in a tie with the final score being one to one. We thought that we weren't in the playoffs. However, when we got back over to our tent, our coach checked the standings and told us that we were in the playoffs!! The team went home to relax for Monday
On Monday morning, our coach wanted us at the field at 9:00 AM. When I got there, I started warming up right away. When the game started, I noticed that the other team had one exceptionally good player. Both teams scored one goal each in regular time. Since the game ended in a tie, the game went into overtime! There were two five minute periods, and if no one scored, it went into penalty kicks. I was super excited, but also a little nervous. If the game went into penalty kicks, I knew I would be taking one. No one scored in overtime, so the game did go into penalty kicks. The other team took the first penalty shot and missed it. Our team made our first penalty and they made their second. I took the second penalty for my team, and made it! After 4 shots we had made all of them and they had only made two. We won!!
We had a break before the finals. We knew it was going to be a tough game. We played our hardest, but the other team outplayed us and was bigger. In the end the final score was 5 to 0. The CDT was a super fun long weekend. and I look forward to it next year.

Manchester City by #Agent3
Manchester City is a soccer team. They have a lot of good players on the team like Erling Haaland. I like to watch them on TV. I like soccer, and I like watching it as well. It is fun to play too. I like to score goals. I can watch the moves from the players on Manchester City and practice. It will help me with my skills. I could get better at dribbling. I take too big of a touch. Researching the team and searching what they do would help with becoming an expert player. I want to be an expert player because I would like to play for Manchester City. Playing for them would be a dream come true because they have good players. I could see their pictures on the wall if I played there. I wish I could go to a Manchester City game.

The Game of Life by #Agent16
I like to play board games. The Game of Life is a game about life. In the beginning you choose a career or college. I choose college because I like to study hard. After college you get married when you take out a pink peg. You spin the wheel for money. Black is 100K! Red is 50K! K means 1000. When you land on the house you can buy it or not. I buy the house because it gives you more money when you sell it at the end of the game. There is a family. When you land on a child you take out the blue or the pink. It depends what you pick. If you land on twins you get both. The spinner can tell you about the number of kids. 1-3 means 0 children. 4-5 means 1 baby. 6-7 is 2 babies. 8-10 is triplets! At the end of the game you get to choose your retirement. I like having 2 houses. One is a country house and the other is a mansion. At the end of the game you can sell your actions and vacation cards, the children, the house, and your retirement. I like playing this because it is fun.

Spongebob Squarepants Blog by #Agent19
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Sqarepants! He lives with his pet snail named Gary. It is in the sea of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Spongebob works and makes food at the Krusty Krab. His best friend is a Starfish named Patrick. His exact species of animal is a Aplysina Fistularis, a yellow tube sponge that swims in the ocean. I like Spongebob because it’s really funny and I also like the song too. Someone named Plankton wants to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, but he is so small he fails a lot.

ERLING HAALLAND #Agent6
I chose to make my blog about Erling Haaland, the professional soccer player. Haaland plays for Manchester city, F.C. This season he has 172 goals and 48 assists. Erling Haalland's overall rating is 88, and his position is striker. Erling Haalland’s number is 9, and he was born on July 21st, 2000. Erling Haalland is 22 years old and was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire United kingdom aka England. Erling Haaland has the most goals in the premier league this year. He is also one of the most popular players besides Ronaldo and Messi. Erling Haaland is my favorite player in the entire world.
Also if you didn't know who Erling Haaland was before this you probably do now. I think Erling Haaland is one of the best, and I want a Erling Haaland jersey. He is a good player because he has a high rating. The only thing I don't like about Erling Haaland is his haircut. And I think one day Erling Haaland is going to be better than Messi and Ronaldo one day. I admire Erling Haaland because he is amazing and he plays for my favorite team (Manchester City). He is one of my role models because he is a good soccer player.
My birthday #Agent 9
My birthday is coming up this Friday. But my party is the fifteenth. It will be at a movie theater where we will be watching DC Pets. What I hope I get for my birthday is Pokemon cards V-Bucks and my friends and family. I hope my sister Bella comes because I want to attack her. I know my brother Andrew won’t come because he's at college doing plumbing. I wish he could come because he's my favorite sibling. My birthday will be with food like mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, and other good things. For drinks we have juice, soda, and water. I don't think I will have a cake because I'm having one this Friday with my family. I’ve invited ten people. Only six are coming mostly because of sports, but the amount of people that are coming is perfect because now all my family can come. I love my birthday because I can see my friends and family also because there's cake and presents. I love presents because my family and friends know exactly what I want. The cake I'm going to have is a lava cake. A lava cake is a chocolate cake with fudge in the middle. That's what I'm going to do for my birthday.
New Mexico and Massachusetts by #Agent16
I used to live in New Mexico. I moved to Massachusetts. I felt great about moving. I was just two years old. I used to have a fish when I lived in New Mexico. In Massachusetts I have no pets. The weather in New Mexico is different from Massachusetts. I have not been back to New Mexico. I opt not to return to New Mexico because I like living in Massachusetts. because when I moved to Massachusetts. I felt great in Massachusetts. so I didn't want to return back to New Mexico. Massachusetts is a good place for me because I like my home. I have more rooms in my house. I get to swim here. I also get to go to new places like Patriots Place. I went there this summer. I also think there are new places for support for making my school easier here in Massachusetts. There are so many restaurants to go to. My favorite food to eat in a restaurant is sushi. The seasons in Massachusetts are winter, spring, summer, and fall. My favorite season is summer. It is the hottest season of all seasons. You can go to a beach.
Contemporary Dance by #Agent21
People may not know what contemporary dance is. It may sound weird, but it actually is really fun. Contemporary is a mix of Jazz and Ballet. Contemporary is really flowy, and it has very complicated moves like arial and flips and spins. Here is a link to see what contemporary is. The contemporary shoe is a ballet shoe just with the back cut off of it. The back is cut off because you need better grip on the floor. I wanted to do contemporary because it tells a story when you dance.
Contemporary does not have a narrator but is narrated with your moves. Contemporary focuses on balance and strength. This spring, I have a recital. There is an age limit to do contemporary which is ten to sixteen years old. At age seventeen, you are able to do contemporary for adults. Contemporary is not appropriate for kids under ten because they think that older kids have more balance than young beginners.
I started dancing at the age of two, and now I am ten turning eleven. If you want to try dancing, don’t let anything hold you back. If you don’t want to tell anyone that's ok. Just be yourself and everything will be fine.
My Maine Vacation by #Agent8
This summer I went up to Ogunquit, Maine, with my mom, dad, and little brother. Our hotel was called Sea Castles. Up in Maine we went to the beach, and at the beach we played in the sand and the water. Here is a funny thing: at the beach sand toys would float away. Then we went to this place that had an arcade, maze, mini golf, and go karts. It was amazing! We also went shopping around the town. My friend and her family came to my hotel to hang out with me and my family. At one of the restaurants I ordered a KIDS taco, and it was so small I literally took two bites and was done. Up in Maine I took a lot of photos. I actually do not know how many photos I took. We also went to a zoo that looked really weird when you walk in, but when you walk a little more it gets better, less weird. The reason it was weird is because it looked abandoned, like a Scooby Doo episode. We also went on a trolly and a golf cart taxi. They were so FUN!! That is what happened on my vacation up in Maine.
Learning to play the piano #Agent12
Transportation By Bike by #Agent3
Kids take the bus to school. They can also ride their bike or a parent/guardian drives them. I ride my bike to school. It is fun. I can go fast. I zoom around the road! I get to see nature. I like seeing animals because they are cute. My favorite animals I like to see are bunnies and squirrels. When I ride my bike I think about what I am going to do today. When it rains there are puddles. When I ride through the puddles it splashes. I would prefer to ride my bike unless it is raining. Then I get a ride in the morning and take the bus in the afternoon. When it is too cold I do the same thing. It is important to wear a helmet when riding a bike because this helps you not get a concussion when you fall. I like riding my bike. Sometimes if I see my friends I ride with them.
Another player By #Agent4
My soccer team has 11 players. On the field we play 9 players on the field in fifth grade. I think there should be 10 players on the field because the goalie is always under a lot of pressure, and I think there should be four defenders and 3 offense and middies. Whenever I am in goal I am always under a lot of pressure. I am scared I am going to let a goal in, but if we had 4 defenders I think I would feel a little better and safer. I would feel better and safer because there would be more people to protect me. There could also be 4 offensive players, so we can score more goals and make the other team be under a lot of pressure. If I couldn’t put another player in those two spots I would be left with the middies. I think that would be where I would put my extra player because the middies are always running around and they sometimes even score goals because they are basically a defense player and an offense player. Those are some reasons why I think there should be another player on the field.
My soccer progress #Agent14
Believe it or not, soccer is the majority of things that I talk about so this might shock you when I say that I used to not like soccer at all. But I had the right coaches around me who made me realize that soccer was a fun sport. It made me realize that this is something that I want to put my time and effort into. That effort paid off. I went from intown to travel. Then I decided that I wanted to join Legacy because all of my friends that were good at the game played Legacy. In one year I got moved up from the third team to the second team. After many years of practice and hard work, I went from the third team to the second team to the first team of my town travel team. That is how soccer is going for me right now. I’m hoping to take soccer even a little bit further by playing in high school, college, and hopefully even the big leagues and big teams. I would love to play for Manchester City because they are one of the best clubs in England, but I still want to play for the New England Revolution because they are my hometown team.
My Tree House by #Agent5
A couple of weeks ago me, my friends and my sister all did an ice bucket challenge to earn $40 out of a thousand dollars we need for a treehouse that we are trying more than super hard to get. We think it will take about 2 years and maybe longer. So far we have $80 dollars out of the 1,000 that we need. We’ve set up lemonade stands and even put in some money of our own. One time when we were selling lemonade we went to the end of our street waving big signs and lemonade cartons to get people’s attention and get them to buy lemonade. If you were someone who was passing by you now know why we did that but I doubt you were there. We have even done some crazy things to get people to buy things. We're all working on indoor halloween decorations like spooky name tags in case anyone is having a special dinner or having family and even friends over. We are also making spooky cards for people to write notes in. We’re even making Halloween garlands with ghosts, bats, spiders and pumpkins. Then we’re going to sell pumpkin carving idea sheets. That's all the ideas we have for now.

My Favorite Hobby #Agent20
Hi, I’m Agent #20. This is my Favorite Hobby Blog! I’m going to be talking about my favorite hobbies. My favorite hobby is designing. I started designing because I was listening to designers who would come up with new inventions and build planes or boats. I figured that motorized vehicles like cars or planes would be very challenging, so I designed a boat. Sometimes I design just random objects. One of my best designs is the boat that I actually made! I made it with my dad out of a piece of plywood and storage bins. I brought the boat to my family’s house in Maine. The house is on a lake. We left the boat up there all summer, and every time we would visit I would spend almost the whole day sailing in my boat. The boat did end up sinking, but it lasted very long ( about a year) considering I’m a kid.
I have a notebook with all of my designs in it. I have a wall with a banner design that says “Idea Wall” next to my bed. That wall is where I put all of my biggest designs. Some examples of my Idea Wall designs are a dog food and water bowl that can turn into a litter box for cats or any other animals that size. Another example is my design of a tube that can go out your car window and cool you down by using the air going by you while you are driving. I hope to have a job one day that allows me to use designs that I create because I love being creative and coming up with new things all the time.
Autumn by #Agent17
Autumn is the best season ever! Here are some reasons why I think you should like Autumn as well. Reason 1: The leaves have beautiful colors. Some of them are red, yellow, and orange. When I look at trees in Autumn they always make me feel tranquil with their colors. Reason 2: There are never too many cold days nor hot days. Sometimes there are colder days, and you need a jacket. Or on some warmer days you just need a sweater. But mostly all of them are pretty warm. Reason 3: There are more festivals. There can be many holidays and celebrations in Autumn. For example, The Fall Festival where people come together and have fun. Another one is going to a pumpkin patch. You can do it with family or friends. The one time I went to a pumpkin patch was when I was on a school field trip, and it was really fun! We each got a small pumpkin that day. Reason 4: You can rake leaves. I know some people think it’s tedious to keep raking leaves each week, but I find it fun! One reason being I don’t do it. But the main reason is to annoy my brother. How I annoy my brother is when he finished raking a pile of leaves I jump into them. He then has to do it all over again. But sometimes he kind of finds it funny. Those are some of the reasons why I think Autumn is the best season ever.

My Birthday Party #agent11
My last birthday party was full of tons of fun stuff! We started the day with my best friend coming all the way to Maine from my town three hours away just for one overnight. Then we went to hibachi. I ordered scallops with fried rice and vegetables. The cook flipped a zucchini into everyone's mouth as a challenge to see how many we could catch. I caught two, and my mom caught none. Then he made an onion volcano erupt with fire. Then I got a surprise cake. After hibachi we went to a super fun escape room called Alien Invasion. When we first got into the office there was a giant UFO that had crashed into it. The office had many locks and puzzling paintings. Then when we figured out the final puzzle the UFO door opened and everyone walked in. There were lots of computers and digital puzzles in this room. I figured out only one puzzle in that room. We finished that room, and the next door opened deeper into the ship. In the final room you had to get four metal balls, and then the door opened one quarter of the way open then shut. Suddenly a capsule lit up, and there was an alien with a rainbow necklace. You had to put in the color of the necklace in a keypad. After that the door opened and we completed the escape room. When we went back to the camper we made some steak and cheese quesadillas and more of my friends came over. We watched the movie Jurassic World Dominion. That was my birthday party!
The day I caught Santa by #Agent13
I was walking down the stairs coming from the deck, and I saw a lizard. When I went inside my dad showed me a picture of the lizard. I got very excited. Was I going to have a pet? So then my mom and I started doing research on how to catch a lizard just because we did not want him to die. Lizards don’t live in New England, and we wanted to save him.
So my mom and I found tons of videos, and we learned some techniques on how to do it. When I caught the lizard with the net, my dad opened the net. My mom caught the lizard and put it in my bug cage. Then we went to Petco that day to find out what type of lizard he was and what he needed to be happy. We found out everything about the lizard. Then we went home to set up his cage. It was a very big cage for such a small lizard. Now that I think about it, I think it's a good sized cage. After we brought it upstairs and we put him in his cage he seemed to love it. I was so happy to finally have a pet that day. That is my story about how I caught my lizard named Santa!

My soccer life by #Agent10
My soccer coach Frank is definitely a lot like a judge. It's like his mood can be happy. Then he is angry, but he is never sad in front of us. If we do something he doesn't like we run. But it's good cardio! I got to say he can be just like Simon Cowell from America's Got Talent. But that's why the team loves him as a coach. He coaches us on Mondays and Jacky coaches on Wednesdays. She is super nice. She is also my goalie practice on Fridays. We love her just a little more than Frank because she is way less drama. But all and all they are still our coaches, and we wouldn’t trade them for the world. Well maybe for a million dollars. I have soccer five times a week, and that is more than six hours a week. Even though I love soccer, It can be a little stressful sometimes, I will always love it no matter what happens to me or my team. Lastly, I play town and club soccer. I like them equally, but from time to time my opinion can change due to the day. But if I am being honest I think that town is more fun, but club is more likely to get me to the big leagues.
My soccer tournament by #Agent2
I played in my beginning of the year soccer tournament. It was about an hour away from my house. The tournament was two days long. You played two games on Saturday and one on Sunday. If you got first in your division then you played in the finals after your first game on Sunday. Our first game on Saturday was at 10:00, but we had to be there by 9:30 to warm up. When we first got there we parked, and then we walked over to the fields where we were playing. We had to wait for another game to end before we could get on the field and start warming up. When we got on the field we did our warm up. Then we started the game. We controlled the ball and possession for most of the game, and we won 3 to 1! We had an hour break, so our team went to the field that we were playing on next and relaxed and ate some lunch before we started warming up. This game was very important because if we won we had a good chance of getting into the playoffs. Once we finished warming up, our coach told us the starting lineup, and we ran out onto the field to get playing. We won 4 to 3! We got out of there and got some good sleep for Sunday. On Sunday we got there early again, and I started warming up. When the game started I was so excited. When the three whistles blew and the game was over the score was 3 to 2. We won. Since we won we got into the playoffs! Our coach went to the people who worked there to see who we were playing in the finals. The game was so tight that it went into penalties at 1 to 1! The penalties were exciting! We won 4 to 2!! We went over to the trophy section to get our medals. It was a great tournament.
My Tackle Football Team by #Agent1
I love tackle football because I get to block and tackle, so I'm writing about my tackle football team. Tackle football is really competitive. That's why I love it so much. It's a team sport. My team and I play for our town. Our record is 1-0 right now, but I'm sure we will get it up. We work really hard during practice and during games. We had won our first game 14 to 13. It was a really close game. At first we were losing in the first and second halves. But we had gotten back up on the scoreboard in the third and fourth quarters. After our amazing win our coaches had set up a pool party. It was so much fun! We also played kickball, and we did a slip and slide. After the pool party, I went home. It was still 5:00. So I went to play some basketball outside. I saw my friends, so I went over. They were playing catch, so I joined. After we played some kickball. The score was 5 to 3. My team and I were losing. We were hoping to get the score up. After I gave myself and my team some confidence we went and scores 3 more times. It was so intense. After we went to my friend's house because it started raining, and we played some video games. After all of that we biked around then we all went home.
How I broke my arm by #Agent7
When I was 5, I went to see my sister’s softball game. There was a playground nearby, so I asked my mom if we could go to the playground. She said,” Yes.” When we got there, I saw these monkey bars that were high up. I wanted to try them, so I got up and started climbing. But my hands were slipping. I fell and braced myself with my arm. I started crying. My dad took me to a doctor to go get it checked. That doctor said I needed to go to the hospital. So we went to the hospital. The doctor then took me to the x-ray room. She scanned my arm. Ten minutes later, she shared the news. I broke my arm. My sister was really worried about me, so we FacedTimed each other. Her seeing me look better made her happy. The doctor gave me sleeping medicine that made me fall asleep. I woke up, and I had a cast on. We got home at two in the morning. I had to stay home for two days. I went back to school. I was nervous. What were people going to think about my arm? Were they going to laugh? When I got on the bus, everyone was looking at me. I heard whispers like “What happened to his arm?” and “Why does he have a weird sling on?” I walked into school to get even more stares. I walked in my classroom and…… they did not care. But once I showed them, everyone signed it! I was so happy! Then, six weeks later, my cast came off.
Flag Football by #Agent15
It was our first flag football game. The day was finally here and I was so excited! We were warming up and then decided who got ball first. The ref said ref said I am holding 1 or 2 fingers behind my back. The other team guessed it wrong, so we got ball first. We got into our places and the quarterback said hike. We ran the ball but only gained 2 yards. So they passed it and got a first down. Next, we ran it in for a touchdown. Then we went for the extra point, and I caught it! When it was their ball we picked it again! They ran it to me and I scored a touchdown! Then the other team ran it to somebody and scored. They went for the extra point but didn't get it. The score was 13 to 6. During the 2nd half we scored 2 more times, and the other team scored 1 more time and then we won our first game. After the game ended, we had to line up and say good game. Last, our coach said huddle in and said we did a great job.
