Justin and the Knight Part 1 by #Agent7

Justin sat at his desk at school just sketching with his notebook. “So, you multiply 3/5 x 4/8. Does anybody know the answer?” His teacher said as she looked around the room. Justin was just staring off into space and then.. “JUSTIN!” Her teacher snapped. “Do you know the answer?”     

He looked at the answer. “Nope,” he said. The class started to hysterically laugh. 

“Well, maybe if you would listen, you would know!” Justin looked at his friend. He knew what was coming up. 

“Well, maybe if you knew how to teach well, you would know what to do.” 

“Ooooooh,” the class went. “That’s it, office!” I got suspended for 5 days. Hooray. 

“I still can’t believe you did this Justin. You should know better!” my mom said. I just ignored her. I don’t care what she says, but at least I get 5 days off. “If you keep this up, I’m gonna have to send you to Military School.” 

“WHAT? NO! YOU CAN’T DO THAT.” She gives me a “Oh yes I can” look. Once we got home, my dad was just chilling on the couch with a Pepsi in his hand. I wanted a Pepsi too, so I went to the fridge. I found the worst news of my life. No more Pepsi. “Dad! You took the last Pepsi!” I complain. 

“I don’t see your name on it.”

 “Actually, it is.” He checks the back of the can. In red Sharpie in large letters, “JUSTIN” was on it. “Checkmate.” I say grabbing the can. But, it was already gulped down by Dad. “Dad! It’s empty!” 

“Not my problem.” 

“I’m gonna get you!” I jump on him, and I start kicking him. He starts kicking back. We keep going until… “Guys! Stop fighting!” My mom said. All of a sudden, I hear a siren. The TV had a red line on it. The TV said, “We interrupt this broadcast with a special report. There is a suspect on the loose. He appears to be wearing a gray mask.” Well this can’t be good.

Poppy Playtime by #Agent19

Poppy Playtime is one of the most famous and scariest games ever. Currently there are two chapters out, and the 3rd chapter will be coming out soon. It’s a game where toys are alive and try to eat you. In chapter 1 there is huggy wuggy. In chapter 2 there is Mommy Long Legs, Bunzo PJ Puggapillar, and Kissy Missy. When playing the game a player has something called a grab pack. A grab pack is a machine with hands that you can use to grab things from far away and unwind things. You can use it for puzzles too. There is actually an online Poppy Playtime game called Project Playtime that has a new character named Boxy boo. To win, you have to solve puzzles to collect at least 6 toy parts. You can play as 3 monsters to get the players. You can be Huggy Wuggy, Boxy Boo, and Mommy long legs. Poppy Playtime is a cool game, and I like to watch people play it.

My Basketball Game by #Agent1

I woke up so excited to go to my basketball game. The game was at 3:30 PM. I got ready as fast as I could to go play outside before my basketball game. By the time I was done playing outside it was already 2:30 PM, and I wanted to go now so I can warm up. So my mom got ready, and we went. I saw my opponents practicing, and they looked good. But I didn't care because I was there to play and have fun. By the time the whole team got to the game it was already 3:30. Then we couldn't warm up. I got to because I was there early. 

My position is the point guard, and I love it so much. Now it was time for the tip off. I hit it back to my teammate, and he passed it to me. I was taking it down to court. Then all of a sudden my teammate was open with no one near him. So I chucked the ball to my teammate. He caught it and went in for the easy layup. Then the other team went and scored five three pointers. So my team and I were really trying to get ourselves back in the lead. They tried to shoot another three pointer, but they didn't know I was behind the person who was shooting it AND BAM!!!!! I blocked the ball. We had three minutes left on the clock.

 The score was twenty five to twenty six. I had the ball, and I went in for the layup and scored. so now the score was twenty seven to twenty six. There were 30 seconds left, and they scored. We were down by one, so I got the ball and sprinted to the hoop and went for the layup and scored. There were 10 seconds left and the crowd counted down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and they shot but they missed. So that meant we would take home the win. Then we all went home happy because we got another win.

No houses in your backyard! By #Agent4

 I don’t think that there should be houses in other’s backyard because what if the people that have a house in their backyard wanted to do something private, but they couldn’t because they had another house in their backyard. I wouldn’t want that! I also think people should have their own privacy. Also no one would want to look out the window and see a house in their backyard. They would want to see pretty green woods with birds all over! Also, if you have kids they would want to play in the backyard, but they couldn’t go too far because there is a house in their woods. Also the people that live in the house that is in the other peoples backyard would also want to have privacy. I would not want to have a house in my backyard. A lot of my friends have houses in their backyard, and they said they would rather have a big yard or some woods instead of the house there. Would you want a house in your backyard? I definitely would not! Why do you think people build houses in others' backyards? I think it's because they want to make money. Anyways, those are some reasons why I think there shouldn’t be other houses in other people's backyard. 

5 seconds left by #Agent10

Last weekend I had a futsal tournament. I had to be the goalie in the first game. Each game was 24 minutes long. If you won the whole thing you would get a medal. In the first game we won by a lot. It was 4-1, and I felt a little bad because of how many we scored on them. Then we had a one hour inter mission until the next game.   

Then we went to the net game to try our best, but what happened was something I was surprised about. We lost only by two. I knew that my team and  I had to win the next game to go to the finals. I realized I was next in the net to play, so I couldn't let in a goal. When my team was subbing the other team shot on my net. I wasn’t looking, so they got one goal and we tied against them.  But the lady who started every game told us who had the most points. It was my team. We were going to the finals!! We were going against the team who won against us the first time, and I was in goal once again because they said they needed me in net. We were about to win, and everyone was counting down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1- they scored! My mom fell down, and hit the deck. It was going into shooting straight on the net. They hit the post, and I was in goal the first time. My two teammates got it on the net. This was the last shot. If the other team missed this they lose and we win, *ping she shot and missed and we won!!

Waking up early by #Agent14

Ok I do not know if it is just me or does everyone not like waking up early. I wake up at seven at the earliest. But I can hardly keep my eyes open. I’am shocked when people are so normal when they wake up at 5am they look like me when I wake up at 9:30 or 10. That might be because I go to bed really late. So I think that might be part of the problem.  Getting a good night's sleep is not a problem because of how comfortable my bed is. But when I go to bed, my bed is as hard as a rock. On the other hand when I wake up It’s like I'm sleeping on a big, fluffy marshmallow. So that is something that I think some people can relate to. Now what some people do when they have a bad night's sleep is like I said going to bed late. But what do you do when you stay up late? Some people like playing video games, watching movies, trying to pull an all-nighter at a sleepover, and what I think is the most common and what I do is stay up late watching Youtube videos or a tv show. So that is part of the reason why I stay up so late. Thank you for reading and have a goodnight sleep.

World Cup Final Part 2 by #Agent20

          Last time when I left off, I was discussing the first half of the World Cup Final 2022. Argentina had the ball after France missed a shot on their goal…Coming back from the half, Argentina took a shot on goal, but it was saved. France has the ball once again, it is in Argentina’s half for now. It is now a French throw in. They are on their own half. Argentina takes a shot on goal, and it gets saved once again. Argentina has possession of the ball and is bringing it up the French side. We are now in the 50th minute. France had their first corner of the game. The corner kick was saved by the Argentinian goalie. Now a throw in for Argentina. Then, they work up the field for a corner kick now. They take as much time as they can to run out the time. The kick was cleared, and France had possession just to be stolen by Argentina. Mbappe had the ball but lost it to a foul. France now has a yellow card. Argentina has an injured player now. The foul was on De Paul, but he refused to get off the field. Argentina now has committed a foul. France wants a yellow card for that. They did now get it. France has possession of the ball. Near the Argentinian goal but can’t get into the back of the net. France throws it in. The ball ends up all the way back on the French half. Now Mbappe has fouled an Argentinian player. It was poor De Paul again. He is in a lot of pain now, but he won’t get off the field.

     France tries to get the ball down the field in one big kick, but the Argentinian goalie takes it. Argentina takes the ball near the French goal. Messi takes a shot. The shot was missed though. France kept the ball away from their side, but a French player is also in pain now. He collided with an Argentinian player while defending their half. The French goalie has the ball, and he clears the ball to Argentina's half. Argentina now takes the ball down the field. They took a shot on goal. The French defend the goal again. France also got fouled in the process. France gets close to a shot on goal, but it was called out of bounds before the shot was taken. Argentina is now subbing some of their players.

    Argentina has the ball near the French goal. Though, once again, the French defend well. Then they get a goal kick to clear the ball out of their own half. Mbappe has not been happy for most of this game, and that might affect how he plays. The ball was knocked away from Argentina near their own goal. The Argentinians find a way to get it back to the French half though. 

Podcasting by #Agent17

In our class we do something that’s called podcasting. Podcasting helps us learn and remember vocabulary words from our Wordly Wise books. This is how we make our podcasts.

First, we finish some Wordly Wise pages in our book that have the vocabulary words we need. We do the Wordly Wise pages to understand what the words mean and how to use them in sentences. After we finally understand, we move on into beginning and making our podcast.  

Next, we begin to create our podcasts. We start off with brainstorming ideas to make our podcasts. We assemble the ideas and choose one of them that sounds right to make. There can be different types of topics you can do your podcasts about. It can be about school, animals, something you believe, etcetera. After we find the one, we move on to the next step.

  After we finish finding the topic we’re going to do our podcast about, we go to the other step. The next step is to find 16-20 vocabulary words in our Wordly Wise book and put them in our podcast. We need to insert them in our podcasts so that we understand the words. Just make sure that you find a good topic. What I mean is that if you have a topic that you like but you can’t find any words that go with it, it may not be the best idea to podcast about.

Finally we start our podcasts. All of us make a script. The script has to talk about the topic. For example, say I’m doing a podcast about holidays. I’ll have to write a script that talks about holidays with my groupmates whilst having to add the Wordly Wise words. It seems really hard and exhausting, but it’s actually really fun. We get to write down and Google facts about our podcast.

After we get checked by our teacher, we start recording our podcasts and making it. We record in another room so other people’s voices can’t be heard. We do a few videos on reading the scripts and finish. We do a few of them and find the perfect one that we didn’t laugh at nor say any words wrong. We show it to our teacher and finish. 

Don’t you think podcasting is exciting? I’ve loved it ever since we started doing it. I think that we should do podcasting more often in different schools. What do you think?

Why is Art So Great? by #Agent13

     One craft  you can do is painting. When I do painting crafts it gets all messy, but it's so interesting to just paint. When you do painting crafts you need paint, paintbrush, and something to paint on. Another art related thing  I love is drawing. Drawing keeps me interested for hours, and I can draw whatever you want. The reason art is so interesting and fun is because you can make your mind grow, and it makes me happy when I have the time to do what I love.

Another reason why art makes me happy is because you can have partners to help you, and you can make interesting things and some might make you laugh a lot. My favorite project of all in art is painting on really big canvases because at the end you have a pretty and big canvas. Sometimes when I am at home I go upstairs and draw and color on my desk because it gives me energy to do other stuff after. My cousin and I sometimes play games using art supplies like who can draw better than the other. It's so much fun. My mom sometimes does drawings with me, and it's so enjoyable.  One last thing I love about art is that it brings others together to have fun and you can draw what you love to draw!

How I got my dog by #Agent7

When my dog, Monty, died we didn’t have another pet for about a year. Then, my dad decided it was time to get another dog. We wanted to get a dog because our house felt empty without one. We wanted to adopt a dog that needed a good home. We were looking at a lot of dogs online. Then we found one that would fit our family and was cute. His name was Cuffs. He was a white dog with little brown spots all over his body. We decided that he was the one. We had to apply to legally adopt him. After we did that, he wouldn’t come until February 2020, which was only a month from then. He was shipped all the way from Louisiana! Even though it was only a month away, it felt like a really long time. 

When February came, we went to Petco  to go get him. Once we got there, there was a really long line for them to check our paperwork. While my mom and dad were standing in line, my sister and I went to go see our dog. He was in a little crate where we could see him and his sisters. He was really nice and cute. Once we got our paperwork done, we got to take a picture with him. We also got to sit with him for a few minutes. We figured out that his birthday was December 3. Once we got him, we went to go get toys for him. We got back in the car and we drove back home. We didn’t really like the name Cuffs, so we decided on another name. We were thinking of Ghost, Oso, or Beau. We finally decided on a name. We picked Beau. And since that day, he has been with us and is doing well.

My Friend Sadie by #Agent12

  I have a friend named Sadie. She is one of my classmates at my school. She is very nice, and we are best friends. We love to play with each other during indoor recess and hang during lunch. I wrote some questions for her to answer.

My First Bruins Game by #Agent2

My dad took me to my first Bruins game last Monday. They were playing the Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Flyers, but they aren't very good. I cheered for the Bruins instead. The game started at 1:00, so we went to lunch before. When I found out that I was going to the game my face lit up. I couldn't wait to go!

When we got off the train, we walked around a bit because the place we were going for lunch (Bar Taco) didn't open until 11:00. We explored a few places before going to the taco place. Tacos are my favorite food. My favorite kind of tacos are chicken tacos. I ordered a few chicken tacos as well as some other flavors. When we finished gobbling up our tacos we walked over to a place called Flour and got some cookies. I got a homemade oreo. I loved the oreo because it wasn't crunchy. It was soft. We got an Uber to take over to the stadium because it would have taken too long to take the train. When we got into the stadium we got our tickets ready and found our seats.

Our seats were amazing! They were 5 rows off the ice and you could see everything that was going on! The Bruins were scoring on the end we were on. Five minutes into the game, David Pastrnak scored!! The crowd went nuts! Once the game started back up Boston kept on attacking. The game was pretty even when all of a sudden Boston was on the break! Krejci made a great pass to Pavel Zacha who beamed it into the top corner. 2-0 Bruins ahead! I got a pretzel and some water during the intermission. When the second period started the Flyers got some momentum, but the Bruins were too much. Brad Marchand scored to make it 3-0! We were still celebrating a minute later when Pvel Zacha scored his second! 4-0! “Wow! What a crushing,” I said. No one scored for a while, but at the start of the third period the Bruins were on the power play. David Pastrnak scored a great goal! After that the game got very exciting, there was almost a fight! The game was already over when Matt Grzlceyk put another one in the back of the net! 

The game was so much fun! I was a little sad because the Flyers got destroyed, but I was also happy for the Bruins now improving to 35-5-4! I really want to go back to a game there, but I want it to be a Boston Celtics game instead of a Boston Bruins game. 

My Birthday by #Agent21

Welcome to my new blog. This week I am going to talk about my birthday. My birthday was awesome. We got ice cream and cake. Next my friends came over, but they made a HUGE mess. We played a lot of Roblox. We also hung out with my cousin. The next day we hung out at our new house to put floors down. Later I went to my contemporary and jazz dance class. We got this huge cake, and we still have half of it left. My mom got seven pizza’s, but only seven were eaten because there were a lot of people. So we had a whole pepperoni pizza still in our fridge as we speak. On Saturday we went to a store, and I got to pick out a birthday present. Next we went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. 

Next year I really want to have a family and friend birthday party where everyone is all together, but that may be a little hard because I have such a big family and friends. I would get Menchies. Well that is all for my blog this week. I can not wait to share new things.

My first skiing trip of the year by #Agent11

We started our three hour drive to Maine. About half way through the drive we stopped at Hibachi with our friends that we were visiting. For dinner I got scallops, rice, and vegetables. My favorite part of Hibachi is when they make the onion volcano. After Hibachi we went back to our friend's house, and my friend and I used his oculus. Next, we played hide and seek with his older brother. Later on, it got really late. We finally went to bed. 

I woke up to my mom calling my name.When I got downstairs, I started to get ready. It was convenient that the mountain was only twenty minutes away. Once we got to the mountain I went to the lodge to get my snow stuff on. Once we arrived at the mountain I went down rabbit's run, an easier one to start off. Then I tried another trail in the woods. For starters I shouldn't have done it right away because it had sticks and rocks. The worst part was when you left the woods you went down a big hill and fell on my bum. I decided to go to the top of the mountain with my dad and my friend. Let me tell you it was very icy. We took a break at the lodge to get lunch and warm up. Once lunch was over we went out skiing again. I decided to go to the terrain park. It was fun until I fell AGAIN. I went on a few more runs then I called it a day. After we packed our stuff up and said goodbye to our friends we rode home.

My sister’s Swimming competition by #Agent16

My family went to the college swimming pool for a competition. There were two high schools in the competition: our town and the other town. First they did a diving competition among three female divers. The referee announced the degree of difficulty before the diver performed. One of the girl divers is the strongest competitor who can do the swirl and flip. After the diving competition, they moved on to the swimming laps. It started with a male’s  mixed relay: first backstroke, butterfly stroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Our town's high school team is much faster than the other town’s team. People were so excited to see the swimming competition. My sister stood on the diving board, and got ready to go for the 50 meter freestyle. Once they heard the whistle they dove in with the alligator chomp position. She was behind at the beginning, but she caught up way faster after she turned around, and she got second place. I was so proud of my sister, and I want to be a fast swimmer.     

My ski trip by #Agent15

My dad and my brother got in the car, and it took five hours to get to New Hampshire plus traffic. When we got there we were exhausted. We stayed at this really nice hotel, and it was really big. We explored the hotel.  There was a game room, but it wasn't good. I was disappointed. There were a lot of shops. It even had an indoor pool and outdoor pool. We went to our room and relaxed. We just stayed in our room for the rest of the night. In the morning we went to breakfast, and it had a buffet. After breakfast we put on snow pants, jacket, and boots. We packed up our ski bags and took a bus to the mountains. Then we got our ski pass. We got our ski boots and   helmets on. Then we put on our skis on. We got in the line and waited until we were up. Finally we were up and got onto the chair lift. After we got off we skied down to another chair lift and got on that one. Surprisingly there was no line. We got off and went down this really steep, blue mountain . We saw a new building, and it was modern. It was a place to eat. We went down a green, and there are these side parts that go down then back up. Some even have a jump. We went down, and it was really fun.  

The Great Barrier Reef by #Agent5

I did a school project on The Great Barrier Reef because I love the ocean. I learned so much. I learned a lot about coral, like how coral is a living animal, and there are two different types of coral. One type grows a hard shell over its body. The other type of coral does not grow a hard shell. Also there are many different kinds of coral, and some are named by their shape such as brain coral, elkhorn coral, staghorn coral, and mushroom coral. Those facts are the interesting things I learned about coral at the Great Barrier Reef.

I also learned that there is 400 different types of coral, and 1,500 kinds of fish and other mollusks that live there. There is many different things you can find there like sea grass and a kind of fish called a butterfly fish which I think is really neat. But unfortunately due to global warming the coral gets affected by it with something called coral bleaching. This is when “corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light or nutrients they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues causing them to turn completely white.”

But something  really cool I learned where my favorite  coral isn't a rock and it is actually the skeleton of a living creature. One of the things that lives there is called “crown-of-thorns,”  which feeds on the coral and damages the reef so people think we should remove it. Lastly, the Great Barrier Reef is so big it can be seen from space!!!

Christmas Break by #Agent19

 

It was a great Christmas break this year. I got some great presents too. I got Lego Stunts sets, clay, Lego brawl, books, and more. I also went to the Braintree Mall with Mom, Jake, Tori, Gramma, and Gramma’s dog Sammy. At the mall I used my allowance money to buy what I wanted. I got some Lego Stunts, a giant Grout Lego, and a Huggy Wuggy plushie. My cousin’s Kevin, Timmy, and Nora had a sleep over at my house two times! Like, when does that happen!! 

I also went to Extreme Craze with my cousins. The place has laser tag, arcade games, and a blowup park. I also went to a bookstore called an Unlikely Story where I got a Diary of a Wimpy kid book and a little Petey plushie. I also went to Disney on Ice on New Year's Day. It had Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen  Moana, and more. It was one of the best Christmas breaks I ever had!!

My Nutcracker performance adventure by #Agent8

It was time for warm ups at the stage where we were performing the Nutcracker. My mom and my friend's mom wanted us to do the warm up even though it was difficult, so we made up our own combinations. When the warm up was done we would go back to the changing room to get changed into our party scene costumes. When we were changed we could not leave the dressing room. While my friend and I waited for the party scene to start we would either make a card for the person who runs the studio we go to or just hang out.

 The party scene was a party at Clara's house. This was where you met Uncle Drosselmeyer, Clara's magical and mysterious uncle. This was also when Uncle Drosselmeyer gave Clara the Nutcracker. Uncle Drosselmeyer made a kissy doll appear magically for the girls. He also made some mechanical dolls appear magically for the boys. At the end of the party scene everyone went home because they were tired and that was when the battle scene started. The Nutcracker won the battle against the Mouse Queen so he could take Clara to the land of sweets.

After intermission there were angels (I was one of the angels) that greeted the audience to the second act. There also was a Sugar Plum Fairy, the Snow Queen, and the Dew Drop Fairy. There were some Polichinelles (I was one of them) that were little clown girls and boys who danced with their mom who is 13 ft tall. She is super tall. Then Clara watched all the sweets and teas.  She left the land of sweets and woke up from her dream. That's what it was like performing the Nutcracker. I can not wait until next year!

My Amazing Winter Break by #Agent5

My winter break started off on Christmas Eve where my sister, my parents, and I were busy, hard at work. My mom was making steak, fruit bowls, salads, and more delicious food for our Christmas Eve hosted party. Meanwhile my dad was busy helping my sister and I make the table.

Once our  family gots here and ate dinner. We did something called sleigh toys, which is a fun family tradition where everyone has a riddle to try to solve and try to guess what your earliest Christmas gift was. I got a plasma ball, which is something the shape of a snow globe, and when you touch it the heat from your hand attracts like a mini wave of electricity.

On Christmas morning my family awoke to find lots of gifts by the fireplace, and my top 5 things I got were a pig pop-it, pig stickers, an electric scooter, a lava lamp, and a street hockey stick. After opening gifts we got ready to head to my Grandparent’s house for another Christmas party. 

During the week I had two sleepovers, one with my friends and one with my cousin. The one with my friends we roasted s’mores and played lots of fun games. The one with my cousin was on New Year's Eve. When it hit 12 we fired confetti cannons and ran around my house tweeting LOUD whistles, running into my parents room waking them up. On New Year's Day I went over to my cousin's house and the whole family came. While the adults watched the football game the kids all played a massive game of tag girls vs. boys and girls won. And that was my amazing winter break.

Christmas by #Agent9

My Christmas went amazing, I got to see my brother Vinny, my sister Bella, and my other brother Andrew. My favorite part of Christmas was the gifts. I got: a Xbox series S, a gaming chair, a gaming desk and a monitor but the best thing I got was to see my family and spend time with them. 

I play on my Xbox a lot. What I usually play on my Xbox is Fortnite, For Honor and Minecraft. I also have a Switch. I've had my Switch for two or three years. What I play on my Switch is Minecraft, Fortnite and Dark souls. 

I love Christmas. It's one of the only times I get to see my whole family. In my family it's like a tradition to watch Krampus every Christmas because it's a really good movie.  I like to eat the food at Christmas. We usually eat chicken. Sometimes if we have leftover turkey we eat that. I get to sleep in and play my video games. This is a special time for me because I enjoy all the sleep I get. 

Another thing we do is decorate our tree. This year I decorated the tree with cow ornaments. There were cows with shirts on! Under the tree we put a red and white cloth. Presents also filled up the space under the tree. I like my Christmas traditions!       

Our annual trip to Nordic Village by #Agent11

Every year during Christmas break my family and I go to a mountain resort in New Hampshire. This year did not start out great. When my mom and I got to the mountain we couldn’t make it up even half of the mountain. So we parked at a lower resort. Once we were there we hung out, started a puzzle, and watched a movie. 

The next morning I woke up to a dark, cold, and creepy place. I went to talk to my parents, and it turned out we had no power whatsoever. After an hour of waiting the resort owners moved us to another resort. Surprisingly this is the resort my mom had to park at the day before. So most of the day we spent settling in, and I played in the snow. Then I finally got to have some well deserved rest.

Sadly the next morning I woke up feeling terrible. I had a headache, burning eyes, felt very overheated, upset stomach, and felt nauseous. I had to rest for most of the day. I was excited to go on the Polar Express in the afternoon. When we got to the train station we were late, so we had to rush to the train. Once we got to our destination I felt so sick I had to stay on the train with my mom, which wasn’t so bad. The next morning was leaving, so I packed up my things, and basically slept the whole car ride home.

A Place I Want to Visit By #Agent12

     A place I want to visit is Florida because it is really beautiful. I have been there once, and I loved it so much. They had candy stuffies toys. We got to stay in a hotel, and for breakfast we had Mickey Mouse waffles. They were delicious. We went on a lot of roller coasters. Some of them were really scary. I loved it there so much. I hope that I can go back. They had a pool, and I made a new friend. Then she had to leave. 

My sister and I played a lot of fun games and had a lot of fun there. We watched movies and hung out. We also explored. A lot of the time my sister went on the playground. I stayed at the hotel with my mom. I miss being there hanging out with my friend and my sister, Kayla.  We had these little cute bands at the airport to get into the airport. I had so much fun, and I wish that I could go back there. I loved making new friends, but I might not be able to see them again. It was a three hour plane flight to get to Florida. I miss all of the friends that I made.

My Christmas Eve by #Agent21

 

   Welcome to my new blog. Today I am going to talk about my Christmas Eve. What I first did on Christmas Eve is I went to a Polish mass, and I brought the baby Jesus (also known as Jezus in Polish) to the manger. After mass, we went to a family member's house for Christmas Eve dinner. While waiting for the dinner to be prepared, I went with my cousins and played with their puppy, Nimbus. After that we had dinner and we had Italian and Irish food.  My grandfather’s birthday is on Christmas eve and we celebrated it with a cake.  After cake, we gathered around the Christmas tree and opened presents. What I got for a gifts were a Visa card and some L.O.L dolls.  My cousins and I had a hat fashion show all through the house and, Nimbus was so happy about it. When we got home that night, I set out milk and cookies and got ready for bed. I woke up before my parents the next morning and snuck down to check out if Santa had left anything for me. What we found was a clean milk glass and a cleaned cookie plate.My Christmas wish is to help others who are sick or homeless. 

Basketball Camp by #Agent1

I woke up on Tuesday, and I was so excited for basketball camp. Me and two of my friends and I were going. We had to be there by 9:00 AM, so we got there at 8:55. We warmed up for five minutes then we got separated by age group. I went with the fourth and fifth graders. My friends were in the age group with the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. We started off by doing stretches. After our warm ups, the coach made us run laps around the court for 5 minutes. Then we did some dribbling drills, for instance: behind the back, under the legs, and crossovers. After we did the dribbling drills we started the passing drills. But we couldn't finish because my teammates were fooling around, so my coach made us run laps for 15 minutes. It was 11:00 o'clock by the time we were done running laps. Coach gave us a 15 minute snack break so I went to the snack shack and got some snacks. 

After the snack break was done we started to do some shooting drills. After we finished the shooting drill it was 11:30, and lunch was at 12:00 so we just scrimmaged until lunch. My team was down by 2 points in the fourth quarter and I had the ball. There were 5 seconds on the clock. I dribbled to half court and chucked the basketball to the hoop. Sadly it didn't make it in, but we were so close to winning. So then we all went to lunch, and lunch was from 12:00 to 1:00 o'clock. I had some chicken tenders with some fries on the side. Then we got back to playing.

We played another scrimmage, and my team did win this time. But then we played king of the court. I was so close to winning, but My friend won against me so I got second place. By the time we were done with those games it was 3:00 o'clock meaning the basketball camp was over for the day. So I went home and got some rest, and then went to play outside with my friends.

Naughty or Nice? by #Agent10

 

As everyone knows, a little bit ago was Christmas.  And yes, I had such a good time because both my grandmas, Situ, and Grammy were there. This year we didn’t get that big of a tree because the boys selling the trees were all out of the big ones. He was just too kind and persistent that my mom said and I quote, “I was actually thinking about buying a tiny tree and then going somewhere else.” But we did get the biggest tree they had there. We decorated three the next day with almost all the ornaments.

 Every year we throw this big party, and we open the presents my family brings and do a Yankee Gift Swap. After all that fun I went to bed, and in the morning we saw all those presents under the tree and ran to open them. But first we had to open the stockings. I got such amazing  stuff, and I loved it. Later in the day we drove over to my aunt's house, and we ate dinner and played games with my cousins. After a couple hours I went home and got ready for bed. I had such a really great Christmas.

The high school concert visit by #Agent16

    I went to the concert on Thursday for family time to support my siblings that play on the stage. I was so excited to watch my siblings play instruments on the stage. My sister played the guitar, and my brother played the percussion. There were two groups of guitar players. One was on the left side of the stage, and the other was on the right side. My favorite song was Must Be Santa. There are three people in the song. One in the middle was a man in Santa's suit, and there were two singers on the left and right. I saw an orchestra team, band team, and chorus. On Monday the 19th we went to the caroling concert performed by the high school band and orchestra team with my classmates and teachers. When it was time for the chorus performance our teachers grabbed the bells and shook them while the chorus sang the song. When the band team came to play, the conductor was tired and he called one elementary student to come to conduct for him. I felt so excited to watch the caroling and the family time.   

World Cup Final Part 1 by #Agent20

I am going to be talking about the World Cup final which took place in Qatar last year. I wrote this as I was watching the game live:

I am watching the “Messi vs. Mbappe” World Cup Final. It is very intense. It is still 0-0, but I’m hoping for that to change soon. I am rooting for France to get their second World Cup win in a row! 

      Argentina is taking a lot of penalties, but they just took a penalty kick. Messi is taking the kick, AND HE MAKES IT!!! It was the first goal of the final, and it was of course scored by Messi. Hopefully Mbappe ties it up soon. 

      The French team is very mad. This would be the first team to win two World Cups in a row if they do. Argentina is not letting that happen very easily though.

      France is getting a free kick. It was missed. Messi got fouled from a collision mid-air. Argentina has a corner, of course being taken by Messi. It was missed, and an offsides flag came up, meaning it came off an Argentinian player. 

      We are approaching the 30th minute mark, France has the ball. Argentina has stolen it. Messi was just announced as the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup. Argentina is now going down the field with the ball. They have missed their shot, and France has the ball. They gave it right back to Argentina, and they are getting closer to the goal. Then, France clears it just for Argentina to get it back again. They are winning possession by a lot today. The Argentinian goalie has the ball now, and Argentina is going up the field. 

       Nothing much is going on right now, with France holding Argentina away from the goal. Though, Argentina is keeping France away from even the half. France is pushing past the half but of course, Argentina has it again. France takes a shot on goal, but it was cleared. ARGENTINA SCORES AGAIN!!! By McAllister, two nothing Argentina. It looks like they are going to win. 

       Argentina got fouled. They now have the ball again. Messi speeds down the field, but the ball gets cleared. Now back at the half. Messi has the ball again somehow, now slowly passing back and forth down the field just to be cleared by France. France kept the ball mostly in Argentina's half now, but not totally consistent. France subbed out two people now, using any tricks they can to catch up. Their best bet is to bring this into extra time or penalties. The bench is silent. Argentina has the ball in their own half. They now have an Argentinian player down. Argentina has the ball in the French half. Then it is cleared by the French, now they have the ball. France kept the ball for once. Passing around just trying to keep the ball away from Argentina. Mbappe has been fouled, and France is keeping the ball. France gave away the ball to Argentina. They now have additional time until the half. Seven extra minutes. 

       France has taken back the ball, hoping to just get one more goal to get closer to that tie. An Argentinian player has been foiled once again. Five minutes remaining until the half. Argentina’s goalie has the ball, giving it to Argentina further down the field, but they miss their shot. Throw in for Argentina. France takes the ball away, keeping it going down the field. Just then, it is cleared by the Argentinian goalie, but France still possesses the ball. Now on Argentina’s half. Argentina is throwing in now. France stole the ball back once again, really needing to keep the ball now. Argentina now taking their next throw in. With France taking it back, pushing to keep the ball. It has been mentioned that Argentina has come close to losing even with these types of leads, so France has a fighting chance. France’s shot was missed, and the ball was Argentina's. That is where we leave off at the half.
