Littering by #Agent21

So I am here to talk about littering, and as you know people don’t like it. YET PEOPLE STILL DO THAT! The only thing that bothers me is that when people litter other people have to clean up. Sometimes people can take it too far and know the world is well messed up. So  many people teach kids or adults not to litter, but my question is do those adults litter too? As you all heard, littering can cause some animals to go extinct or the population goes down a bit or a lot. Some turtles mistake plastic bags as jellyfish, and other animals have less places to live because of the trees falling down. In Florida most deer are being hunted down and killed because of hunters. Based on the I SURVIVED BOOK a grizzly bear attacked because of littering and how people can’t clean up themselves not to mention two people while they were camping in the woods. Some other grizzly bears attack because of the food that was left out and how bags and cans of trash were left out. Sometimes animals are forced out of their homes because the trees were cut off or the animals travel to other parts of the world because of the things that's going on. Hopefully in the future no one else will litter no more.

Math By #Agent15

Do you know what math is? Math is very useful and very awesome. Math helps us learn new and fun problems that we never knew existed. Like 352 x 17 or 4,567 divided by 168. Those might seem hard, but when you get to learn math you will start understanding how easy it is. Isn't that cool? At school students have homework each day. Students get homework after school either on a computer or a piece of paper with math questions for you to try and solve. Students have homework to help them even when they aren’t in school. Lots of teachers find this useful because when students are confused on their homework it has directions on it to help students understand what they did wrong or what they have to fix on their homework. They also thought this was a good idea because even when students are home they could still learn math. I also think this is a great idea because I am learning long division, and I think it is the easiest because as a student I find homework very entertaining because it keeps me entertained.  When I’m bored and I have nothing to do I can always look up homework to keep me occupied. 

My love of the game by #Agent19

Since I was four years old I have loved baseball. I can play it any time of the day and anywhere. Baseball is my passion. I put a lot of dedication into it on the field and off. Baseball is my favorite sport, my favorite hobby, and my favorite way to get my anger and frustration out. 

Two years ago I started club baseball with the Hurricanes. This year I switched to a team called Energy. Club has better competition, and in my opinion is more fun to play. 

I can't imagine not playing the game. One job I want when I’m older is to be a MLB player. If I can’t make it to the majors I want to play in college. 

This summer I’m going to Cooperstown for the Cooperstown tournament. I’ve only been to Cooperstown once, and I loved it. I got to see the Baseball Hall Of Fame and visited to many stores that I could count. It was also awesome because I’m a Yankee fan. Everywhere I looked I saw something related to the Yankee’s.  

One of my favorite  things to do in the off season is study baseball. I look at who won awards that season, what the teams' records were, good rookies and prospects from the minors, and more.

Another way I show my passion for the game is by collecting baseball cards. Baseball cards also help learn new players that I might have never heard of. I probably have over ten thousand cards in my collection now and am still looking for more.

I wanted to do my blog about baseball to show my love of the game from playing to learning.         

Blogs by #Agent7

Hello and welcome back to my blog about blogs. Now you might be wondering why I have gathered you today. The answer is some of you do not know what blogs are. I am looking at you Farah. Okay back on topic are blogs. A blog is a diary-looking style of writing that is uploaded (or posted) on websites. Originally blogs were the work of one person or sometimes a small group of people. During this time most of the blogs had only one topic (crazy right).  Starting around 2010 many bloggers would occasionally write in the same blog. This led to everyone wanting to blog or wanting to read blogs. That's when Twitter (now known as X) kicks in. Twitter was an app where everyone could share their blogs in a global audience (or they could Tweet a link) and others could read them. That is what I call a win-win! I love blogging because I make some of you happy, and I think you will all make bloggers. 

Did you know that the word Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add your content to a blog (or post). Aren’t blogs awesome! Ya you better think blogs are awesome. If you do not it is okay. But I am glad you have joined me today (or tonight (or this evening)). Goodbye fellow students and gardens (and everyone else) until next time students and gardens (and everyone else).

Facts about my mom by #Agent20

     My mom is a fun, hard working woman! My mom’s job is being a florist. She works hard and provides for my family! I have a big family. There are six children in my family! My mom’s first job was being an orthodontist. In fact, my mom did my brother's braces! My mom won two-three spelling bees when she was eight or nine! She really loves math and writing. Whenever I need help with my homework, she helps me! She gives me hugs and kisses in the morning. She also sings songs to me in the morning, and sometimes I get a little upset because it’s early and I'm tired. I just want peace and quietness. My mom acts like the best mom ever when everyone in my family is home. When she gets bored she reads books or works on flower designs. But, I doubt that she ever gets bored because she always works on her flower designs! Sometimes I help my mom when she’s making flower designs. When she is making a video, I go on “Cap Cut” and edit the video for her! I also come to her flower studio and meet her new friends that she met when traveling and doing flower designs. When my mom makes flowers when she’s bored, she always brings it to my sister and I! My favorite colors that she makes are: pastel blue, baby pink, and lavender purple! My mom made flowers for my Aunt’s wedding! My mom is the best mom in the world, and I love her. 

My Family’s Famous Rum Cake by #Agent8

    First step to making rum cakes is to add the yellow cake mix. Then, you add a vanilla pudding packet. After that you need to add 4 eggs. Afterward, add ½ a cup of each: water, rum, and oil. Next, mix with a hand mixer. Mix it on medium speed until light and fluffy. Pour it into the bundt pan and put in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. It starts to smell so good in the kitchen after 15 minutes of baking. 

While baking you need to make the glaze. Put one cup of sugar, one stick of butter, ¼ of a cup of water and rum. Heat until steamy. Then keep warm. After the cake is done baking, pour ¾ of the glaze onto the cake while still in the pan. After it has cooled, turn over on a cake stand and pour the rest of the glaze on top. Dust the cake with powdered sugar. Then you can serve this delicious cake. This cake has been in my Mom’s family for four generations. It is my all time favorite cake. I love it so much. Everybody should make this cake for the holidays. It is so good.

My Mom The Imposter By #Agent16

“Mom, I’m home!” I yelled upstairs. My mom came down and asked me if I wanted a snack. “Maybe later,” I said. I wasn’t really hungry anyway. I went over to the living room, jumped on the couch, and turned on the football game. The Jets were playing the Patriots. My mom was still staring at me from the kitchen. I was just starting to ask her if something was wrong when I heard banging from upstairs. I headed for the stairs when my mom yelled across the house, “Stop!” I was confused, so I did. Then the instant I did I knew I had made a mistake. She came at me with blinding speed. I tried to jab-step, but somehow she expected it and went with me. I was down in a flash. 

When my senses came back to me, everything seemed fuzzy. I came to focus, and I noticed I was in the attic. My dad sat tied up with ropes in the far corner. I figured he was doing all the banging. Then I realized I was tied up too. Then my mom, or what I thought was my mom, came in laughing a cruel, ancient laugh. “Don’t you know who I am?” she asked me. I honestly didn’t know if I was missing something, but I didn’t. “No, I don’t.” I said back. Then in the distance I heard sirens. My plan was just to stall her long enough until the help gets here.

After about thirty minutes of blah blah blah from this monster, there was a knock on the door. She raced downstairs to get greeted by a punch from an FBI agent. He and four others came in and searched the house until they found us in the attic. They freed us from our ropes and said we could go to the Palace Hotel, which is the best hotel in the state. for free because they weren’t sure if the house was safe yet. My dad and I thanked them and left for the hotel.

When we got there I was greeted by my mom. My real mom. We went to our suites and had one of the best nights of our lives.

Winter Break by #Agent22

I love winter break! Winter Break is my favorite break because there is Christmas and the New Year. On Christmas Eve we host a party with my dad’s side of the family, and it is so fun. The Christmas Eve party is my favorite party of the year. I just love the exciting feeling of Santa Claus leaving presents under the tree. On Christmas morning we usually open our presents, and then we will drive to Connecticut for Christmas with my mom’s side of the family. Every Christmas we do a Secret Santa where we have to pick something that starts with an “s” for one person. While we are in Connecticut we watch Christmas movies and have a delicious Christmas dinner. We see cousins, aunts, and uncles. We play games and play in the snow, but I don’t think there is going to be snow this year. After we are done with Connecticut we go back home and play with our presents. In my opinion I think the lead up to Christmas is so much better than Christmas day because it's all over. On New Year’s Eve my neighbors throw a party, and it is awesome. We stay up to midnight and watch the ball drop. A funny thing we do is my mom’s birthday is December 31st so once we hit one on the ball we all yell that it's not her birthday anymore. I loved writing this blog about the winter break.

Blox fruits second sea by #Agent6

My last slog was Blox Fruits First Sea, but this one is about Blox Fruits Second Sea. You need to be level 700 to get to the Second Sea. First, you need to talk to the military detective at the prison, and he will tell you that Swan has escaped the prison and is at the Second sea. He will give you a key and tell you to go to the cave at the Frozen Village. With the key, you must unlock the wooden door and you must defeat the ice admiral. The ice admiral will tell you that Swan is at the Kingdom of Rose in the Second Sea and now can fly around with strings. In order to fight Swan you must climb up the brick wall and into the building (Aka mansion). You must talk to Trevor to fight Swan, and he will tell you that you need a fruit that is worth one million beli (money). To fight Swan. Once you get a fruit that is worth one million beli then you must talk to Trevor, and he will tell you to go down the staircase nearby and enter through the door. Swan will be there.

 You can trade fruits in the Second Sea. How you do this is by entering the cafe on the other side of the mansion and sitting in the chairs by the bounty posters. When someone else sits there you will hear no music and have a trade screen pop up on your screen. To offer something you click the plus sign and offer your thing. At the bottom of the trade screen it will say the difference between the price. If the difference is over 40% then either you or the other person will remove or add an item. The blox fruit dealer is also in the cafe. If you leave by the door near the blox fruit dealer then the blox fruit gacha will be right outside. The factory is near the cafe, and whenever they say we will be breaching the factory in 30 seconds that means that the door will open in 30 seconds. You must attack the inside of the factory, and if you deal the most damage to the inside of the factory you get a random fruit. There are sea beasts in the Second Sea. If you come across one at the top of your screen it will say sea beast, and it will start raining. You can also fight sea beasts, but they will fight back. If you defeat a sea beast then you will get 60,000 to 250,000 belli. Right now in blox fruits I am level 802, and I am using the mammoth fruit.

The Year of the Chaotic Disease of 2019 by #Agent5

You may be asking yourself “What is she talking about, and what is this disease?” IT'S COVID-19!!! It started when I was in second grade, and I'll tell you my story about what this chaotic disease did to our family! So every summer we go to Lebanon because my dad and mom’s side of the family live over there, and only a fraction of them live near where I live! BUT sadly that year I didn't see them. I was devastated because I love them and the food. It is sooo good. My grandma makes the BEST crepes, but it's not from Lebanon, it's from France. Anyway, it ruined anything and everything. Flights were canceled, online school, masks, NO sports like none, and in addition if you wanted to go into a store you needed a mask. When you got to the line you needed to stand six feet apart from one another. It got to a point when they were adding stickers on the floor for people to stand on, and my mom loves going shopping so we stood in those lines for about twenty to thirty minutes. I know it sounds annoying but that is life for you. 

Things to do when you’re bored (Pt.1) by #Agent13

 

Here I am going to tell you some things that you can do when you are bored!

1. Got some old buttons lying around? And some old wooden boxes or other wooden pieces? Do you have a glue gun? Let the glue gun warm up. Once some glue drips out from the tip of the glue gun the glue is ready to be used! Glue the buttons to the wood box or piece. If you want you can even make it look like a picture! Make sure that you let the glue cool, otherwise the buttons will come off.

2. Do you have paper? Do you have a pencil? Journal about your life! Or, just get your thoughts out on the paper!

3. Do you have paint? Do you have an empty milk carton? Do you have paints? You can go on a rainbow walk! Paint each bottom of each little space in the egg carton a different color. After the paint has dried you can go on a walk outside and find things that match the colors!

4. Do you have salad foods? Make a salad bar for yourself. If you want you can invite friends over!

I hope that you have enjoyed reading this and try some of these out!

Football by #Agent18

   Football is my favorite sport. My favorite thing to do is to play pass or a football game with my friends and family. My favorite NFL player is Mac Jones because I think he is underrated and is a nice guy. I've always wanted to join the football team for Mansfield, and next year I will sign up for tackle football. Football was always my favorite sport for a very long time. I love whenever I throw a dime or have a very hard catch. Lately I've been getting mad how the Patriots have been playing lately this year. My favorite catch I've seen in the NFL was the Edelman catch where he won the Super Bowl with a very crazy catch. In my opinion I think the best team and my favorite team is the Patriots because we have won six championships, and in the two-thousands we had the best team of all time. When I am at home I play in my yard with my family or my friends. Even when I am at school I might play basketball or play pass with all of my friends together. This is my second favorite sport because it's very fun.

THE WIZARDING WAR by #Agent12

I was fighting one of the tower guards, but they would not get me. I threw a fast slap of fire. The guard disintegrated from the fire, but I was not done yet. “Two on your right!” yelled my goblin friend, Freckle. I turned and threw a lightning whip this time, and the guards could not do anything about it. There was one gigantic guard on the left. He was wearing metal armor, so fire would not work. I needed to think of a water spell. Then I knew exactly what to do…use the tsunami! It worked, and he went flying so far he slammed into the alarm. BUUZZZZZZZ!!!! It was very loud! I was about to take on an army of guards, almost one hundred. I thought about it and knew what to do… use teleportation.

“Come on Freckle, we’ve got to go!” I knew just where to go… home base.

Right when I got back everyone jumped and someone shouted, “Did you get the gem?” 

“No! I didn’t get it so send mission B! They hit the alarm in the left wing so send them in on the right,” I replied. 

“The second they go in, you and group A are going in from behind. These monsters won't know what hit them! Remember, if anyone falls or gets stuck, we want them more than the gem. No wizard left behind!” Commander John reminded us.  

“Team C is coming in the sky with bombs! They said they will break through anything, but they might hit our own spies. We'll have to warn them,” said General Paul.

“I need everyone ready for war, right now. Set team C right over the castle! Team A, it's your turn to move in. Alright, we're going in the back,  I shouted.  

“Brick, can you get rid of those guards? All clear, nice job! Brick, break down those doors. Everyone, ready your wands. IT’S GO TIME! Whip! Smack! Thwap! Go up the stairs. I found the gem! Let's get it and go!,” I shouted, bursting with joy! We had made so much progress until…  “We’ve got a problem! The queen is coming up the stairs, and that door is blocked!” I needed to think quickly - what is the strongest spell?

    I needed to put the big queen monster under mind control. I fought, and she did too but not in a physical way. We were in each other's brains! I was winning the fight. She didn’t know what was happening, but she was strong. I took control, and I made her smash all of her army out of the way. When I let go she was mad, but I was not stupid. I left her dangling on the edge of a bridge and she was doomed. Team A made it away with the gem and brought it back to base. We won the war! Another victory for the royal wizards. 

Squirt guns by #Agent17

      

Squirt guns were invented by Lonnie G. Johnson. He was working at NASA on pipes, and one of them blew a hole and water squirted out. Instead of getting mad about it, he thought that it was interesting. He went home to his family and went to his garage and started working on his invention. He was thinking how to make water pressure straight instead of going everywhere and how to make it so you can control when the water comes out. Then his best idea came to him: pumping the water out of the squirt gun. This was the original way it was made, and how it still is today. Then, he gave it to his  daughter to play with. She loved it, and then he named it the Super Soaker. The entire neighborhood wanted one of them. Then he started many businesses that sold Super Soaker. More than one million have been made in the world, which is amazing how many there are in the world and the different types there are in the world. The Zuru-x Shot Water Warfare Epic Fast Fill water gun is the best water gun in the world. I would want that water gun.  Lonnie G. Johnson is one of the best kid toy inventors in the world.

My First Time On Stage by #Agent14

I was on a stage for The Little Mermaid! I was Aquata, one of Ariel's sisters. I was also a fish in Under The Sea and Part Of Your World, and I was water for Fathoms Below . It was really scary, and I messed up a lot! When we were doing Part Of Your World, there was a part when everyone had to crouch down. I fell backwards. There are several doors to get into the scenes and out of the scenes, and I was in front of one of those doors.  When I fell it opened, and there was no one behind the door to help me close it. No one was going to stop the whole play and wait for me to close the door. We were getting close to the part when we were supposed to stand up, and I was trying to close the door. I got it just in time, and it was so scary. I felt so embarrassed! 

After that we had the song She's In Love, and at some point the music stopped! I later found out it was because my teachers were going to cut the song, but then we learned it. So they didn’t have to cut it, but my teachers played the song that they cut. The music stopped because my teachers were playing the wrong She’s In Love. I was so nervous because I was the water for Fathoms Below, and after that I had to run to the next door so I could be ready to go on the stage for the next scene. It was so much fun. I had an amazing time! I know I have been complaining a lot, but I had a blast. All those things I told you about was a funny mistake, and I had the best time ever! I loved being in The Little Mermaid play.

My trip to Kentucky By #Agent23

I loved my trip to Kentucky. I went to Kentucky with my mom and dad. The only reason why I went to Kentucky is because I had a race in Kentucky. I had to wake up at 4:00 am. Yah, I was excited but very tired. I got a donut at the airport, and then I boarded the plane. The plane made me feel sick. We landed in Ohio. We had to rent a car and then drive an hour and half to Kentucky. 

We got to walk the racecourse to see what it looked like. The path was very thick and skinny. Then, I got to get a cozy,blue, sweatshirt with all the names and the racecourse logo. I really liked it. We went back to the hotel, and I got to go swim in the hot tub and pool. It was very relaxing because at one moment my mom and I were the only ones in the pool room. I went back to the hotel room to change, and then we went to eat dinner at the hotel. I wasn’t very hungry. After we ate dinner I had to go to bed. 

In the morning I had to wake up around 7:20 am to go eat breakfast. Then I did my hair and got my running clothes on. We arrived at the race, and I had to wait in a tent until we got to go on the starting line. It was pouring rain for a few minutes, and someone threw up very close to me. I finished the race, and I got 75th / 300 girls. It was very fun but a very quick experience.

Horseback riding by #Agent1

I have been horseback riding for a few months now. It is really fun. I love doing my posting trots, and I love doing pony pals. Pony pals is where you go to the barn and help out there like mucking out the stalls or tacking up the horses for people that are going to ride that horse. You also change the horse's water and give them hay. Pony pals is really fun because you get to hang out with your friends, and you get to see all the horses. When I ride Chance, my favorite horse, I always have a good lesson.  I haven't gotten to ride him because he got a blister on his foot, so it put him in a lot of pain to walk. He just got checked by the vet, and they said that he should be able to go back to being  ridden in a few days. So I really hope I get to ride him. At pony pals I got to see him and give him a treat and give him snuggles. He is so amazing when we do our posting trot and when we go over poles. When I see that I get to ride him I just know I will have a good lesson.

Winter Break Vacation Plans by #Agent3

I am super excited for winter break! So far I have only planned a couple of things. They are a Yankee swap, family Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. My family does a family Christmas, so we can all get together and exchange gifts. It is the day after Christmas I think. Also my dog, Honey’s birthday is the day after Christmas or the 26th of December. This is the first year I am hosting a Yankee swap. I am inviting most of my friends to it. For New Year’s Eve my family is hosting. We are going to have a theme where you pick a color out of a hat, and you have to bring that color of food. I am so thrilled about it! On Christmas morning my sister and I wake up each other, and we go to wake up our parents. Then we rush downstairs and open our presents one by one. My grandparents live with us, so they watch us open the gifts. We open the gifts from our grandparents last. My sister and I normally eat breakfast first on a normal day, but it’s Christmas so we eat all of the candy we get before eating a real breakfast. After opening our presents we just leave them in the living room until my mom forces us to put them away. Happy Holidays!

My Favorite Holiday by #Agent11

The warm air hit my face as I came inside from playing in the snow. As I entered the kitchen, I smelled my sister's homemade sugar cookies. I was so happy to see them because I knew we were going to decorate them later. As I walked up the stairs to get ready to go to my grandpa's house, I saw the tree shining in all of its glory. As I reached the end of the stairs, my elf was sitting on the shoulder of the Santa statue with his hands in the air. I got ready to go to my grandpa’s house while listening to Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift. I put on my favorite silver skirt and my super cozy star sweatshirt. When I ran down the stairs I saw the big gift that was from my dad! A lot of the gifts were in red and black stripes that were packed very carefully by my mom. 

After a long trip to my grandpa’s house, I was so happy to finally be there. After saying hi to my cousins, we all opened the gifts. When we finished opening our gifts, we were so sleepy but we had to take the Christmas photo we always take underneath the tree. Then we said goodbye to the family and left. The morning of Christmas my mom and dad always said we have to wait until 7:00 to go downstairs. But this year I am going to sneak down the stairs to see the gifts because the gifts are not wrapped. But after we open the gifts all of my family comes over to hang out and make cookies. Then everyone leaves and we all go to bed. Happy holidays and to all goodnight.

Winter break part 2 by #Agent9

The sun is gazing through my room, and it hurts my eyes. My mom comes and says, “Get up we are going to be late.” I have to get up or we will miss our flight, which is at 9 am. I look at the clock, and it is 6:30. We only have about an hour. That's not a lot. Everyone is rushing. My dad said to get  dressed fast. I get dressed, brush my teeth, and brush my hair. I have to eat breakfast fast because it is 8 o'clock, and the plane leaves in two hours. It takes about thirty minutes to get there. Now my family is in the car, and we're off. We don't catch any traffic because it is a Saturday. My dad says we might miss our flight. By the time we get to the airport it is about eight thirty. My family is scrambling. We have trouble with security. The line is a mile long. I think we are going to miss our flight. The flight is boarding right now, and we haven't gone through security yet. My mom says to keep calm. We will make it. Finally we make it through security. We only have three minutes until the plane leaves. Oh no! It's nine o'clock. We have missed our flight. Well we think we will go see the spot where the plane leaves, and it just left. My entire family is panicking about what we are going to do.

Ski by #Agent4

I like the winter sport of skiing. I like it because it is not easy like building Legos. I also like it because I like the wind in my face. I love to ski because I can go as fast as I want. I also love the bumps. I have to wear a helmet, skis, and heavy snow boots. I went skiing yesterday afternoon with my grandma. I went skiing yesterday ten times on the third biggest slope on the Wachusett Mountain. I went with my grandma, and she fell face first into the snow. She might have hurt herself. So we had to go home, and she is going to see if she is fine today. She loves taking me skiing even if I am tired. I have been skiing every year for the past 3 years. I need to bring a winter jacket and skis. I don’t like when she needs to have the heat on 80 degrees. I love to go on the third tallest slope, but I might go on the second highest slope.  I like to speed down the slope, and I like to turn left and right. I like to eat the snow that is in the air because the snow machine shoots out snow, and it goes up in the air. So I ate it.

Why I want to drive now by #Agent2

 I would like to drive right now because it would be a taste of freedom but a little overwhelming because I can be pulled over at any time. It would have to be a truck because trucks are safer than normal cars. If I had to travel with my car I would go anywhere because it would be so awesome, and I would love to do it. I think traveling is fun in my experience as long as nothing goes wrong on the trip. If I had to choose a place to go to in the world with my car I would just travel anywhere because it would be so fun, and I would love to do it. I think traveling is fun in my experience as long as everything goes as planned on that trip. I think that cars are great,  but I wouldn't use them to do anything bad. I will just use it to have fun and go places with my friends and family. I will definitely drive to my football games. I think that I would have a good time with a car but i can't have one as a kid, but when I'm older I'm definitely going to travel.

Elves By #Agent15

 When I finally woke up it was December, 1st. You know what that means.  The elves are coming to watch over children and make sure kids are not being naughty. On December 5th I woke up and my elves had finally come. I was so happy my elf Elfanso and Fonzie had come, but they weren’t alone.. They had brought three of their friends, and Fonzie had given me some gum. I was so grateful they knew I liked gum. Then a little later Fonzie had disappeared. I looked all over for him but, he was nowhere to be found. I thought he might have gone back to the North Pole but, I gave him five minutes to come back. After five minutes I saw him on top of my living room hanger. I asked him what he was doing up there, but he said nothing. I wonder where he went, but then my other elf was gone. I was so clueless. First Fonzie was gone now Alfonso? I went on a hunt to find Alfonso, but I couldn't find him until I checked behind the pillows on my sofa and saw him. I asked him where he went, but I forgot elves can’t talk. I said to all of my elves,  You two are making me tired.

Cooking by #Agent18

                       

My favorite thing to cook is a steak, but I need my brother or my mother to help me cook the steak. Tonight I am going to cook ribeye. It's  a nice, juicy steak. I also make food in the morning.  I make about six eggs or a bagel and sometimes pancakes. My dinner I cook sometimes is snow crab legs, sometimes lobster, or a lobster roll. My favorite thing to eat when I cook is either lobster, lobster roll, or just Ramen. Sometimes I cook pizza in my home kitchen oven.My least favorite food is cod, but I like all shellfish, even scollops. The thing I absolutely hate is when oil, butter, or boiling water fly up and hit my hand. The thing about cooking steak is the fire alarm is probably going to go off and the butter always hits me. The thing that I'm always nervous about is that we have a stove fire, grease fire, or the fire alarm goes off. It always triggers me and gets me nervous. Trust me it triggers me. The thing I do to calm myself down is to throw away the food. If it's burnt then I take it off the burner.

My 2023 football season by #Agent10

I play football mostly to have fun, but another reason is that most of my friends play too. Football keeps me busy and makes me tougher overtime. Hitting drills are my FAVORITE because I get to have contact with people on my team. Whenever I’m mad or upset my teammates help me not get angry and help me stay up. On offense I keep my quarterback from getting sacked. I play right guard on offense. On defense I play defensive tackle. I try to sack the QB or quarterback. I personally like defense more than offense. We wear two color jerseys. Our home jerseys are green and our away jerseys are white. I like the white jerseys best because they are tight and fit well. Our team was good, but our record was only three wins and five loses. Unfortunately our team did not make it to the playoffs. We came upon many challenging teams. Their team had not lost in two YEARS! I don’t understand why we were against them three times and not one. Even though we were not as good as most teams we were still one of the most hardworking teams in our league. Our coaches made sure we were well conditioned. I am sad the season is over, but there is always next year!

Spider-Man by #Agent17

Spider-Man was the first Marvel superhero after someone sketched what Stan Lee said. When Stan Lee looked at it was exactly what Stan Lee wanted. Later to show the world Spider-Man  he sent at least ten thousand in each plane, and there were five planes. So 50 thousand comic book to Japan Stan Lee noticed that they were not reading his comic because their comic books don't have words. Their characters barely talk. They're only onomatopoeias. That's where they say boom bang bam.  So Stan Lee added it to his comic book and business was booming. More people were buying Spider-Man books left and right. Then people started sending letters asking  if you could make more Spider-Man, so Stan made mre books. There are over 700 comic books. That's a lot of comics. Imagine writing and drawing it. My hand would hurt. My dad has the entire Clone Saga of Spider-Man and he said I can read it soon. They made some superior Spider-Man comic books where Doc Ock was in Spider-Man body. That's a long story about how that happened. Then they made Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. Spider-Man has been relly popular over the years.

THE BIG TEST by #Agent19

Since starting karate over five years ago I’ve dreamed of getting my blackbelt. Karate has always been my passion, and I always wanted to progress in it. A few months ago I was told I was going to be on the next step of accomplishing my dream of getting my black belt. My first test was October 6th; I passed and went on to boot camp. Boot camp's purpose was to review everything that was on the test. After passing the second test on November 4th, I could tell the boot camp class was getting smaller. December 2nd - the big test was here! It was early in the morning, and I could already feel my heart pounding. We got to the karate dojo 30 minutes early so I could practice. We started with kicks, the easiest part of the test but still tiring, before moving on to forms. We didn’t get breaks between forms, so it was really hard by the end. Then was self defense, which was extremely tiring, followed by the fitness part. Because people were upset about kids running in their yards, we did kicks back and forth instead of running a mile under nine minutes. In my opinion that was harder. After kicks we did 100 pushups. Then came the final, but toughest part. I told myself I’m almost there. Some kids cried and one threw up. It was time to spar.

     We had to go three rounds with people that didn’t test that day. By the end I felt like I just ran a marathon. But I did it, I completed the test. Last was the ceremony. Every parent went on the floor beside their kid. Master Garcia gave a speech, and then we got our black belt certificates. They were beautiful with an amazing look I couldn’t describe. Then my sensei gave me my black belt, a moment I’ll never forget. I felt on the top of the world. This whole experience was something I’d never forget and an honor I’d always cherish.                   

Facts about cheer by #Agent20

      Cheer is a fun sport to do. A very fun fact about cheer is that there are four million cheerleaders in the United States! Cheer is a very old sport. People have been doing it since the 1860’s. There are four different types of cheers: All Star, Rec, Performance, and College Cheer. Stunts are very important to cheerleading because it shows a skill in the team. The hardest stunts in cheer are: basket toss, 2:2:1 pyramids, advanced loads, advanced tricks, and advanced dismount. The basket toss is so dangerous that it is illegal. A stunt double is an “intensely physical job that wears your body out over time.”  The easiest stunt is the thigh stand. It is very crazy to me that there's only one easy stunt. Fun fact, there was actually a President who did cheer! His name is Franklin Roosevelt. He was a cheerleader for Harvard in 1900 to 1903. The first girl to ever cheer was Isobel Carter and Thelma Guinn. Both of the girls started cheering in November 1938. Cheerleading is my favorite sport. I really enjoy it, and I want to continue it! In 2017, I high fived and hugged the Patriot cheerleaders. They inspired me to do cheerleading. 

Blox fruits by #Agent6

Blox Fruits is a video game on Roblox where you can be a pirate or marine. If you are a marine you have faster and cheaper ships, and you can team on  pirates. If you are a pirate you can collect player bounties and get a high player bounty. Devil fruits are a type of fruit that gives you special powers.

There are four ways you can get Devil fruits: either by buying them, going to the blox fruit gacha, trading them, or finding them. The blox fruit gacha can be found in: the first sea jungle, the second sea, and the third sea. The bo fruit gacha can roll you a random fruit, but there are no refunds for if you get bad fruits. 

When I started Blox Fruits I chose to be a pirate. So, I started at pirate starter. First, I started fighting bandits with combat. Then I saw a quest giver. So, I talked to the quest giver. He gave me a quest to defeat five bandits. After the quest I got three levels. So, I started grinding until I could go to the jungle. This is where the blox fruit gacha was. But I needed to be level 50 to roll the fruit. So I went to the quest giver of the jungle. He gave me a quest to defeat six monkeys. Eventually, I did enough quests to roll a fruit from the Blox fruit gacha. When I got to level 20 I got a quest to defeat six gorillas. When I got to level 25 I got a quest to defeat the gorilla king. Right now in Blox Fruits I am level 592, and my fruit is maxed out light and my sword is the legendary Bisento. 

My Elf Surprise by#Agent3

Do you believe in elves? Well I do. On December first my elf comes. My elf’s name is Sparkle Toy. My sister named her. The first day she came she bought us a tree, and in the tree she wrote a sign that said decorate me! My sister and I both came down at the same time. We were so surprised and happy because we didn’t expect a tree. I wanted to decorate the tree, but Sparkle Toy was on it. The next day she hid on the curtain rod, so we got to decorate the tree. On December third Sparkle Toy hid in a drink cabinet. I felt bad for her because she looked uncomfortable. One of our Christmas decorations is an Advent calendar. Everyday my sister and I open one of the compartments. This year we filled them with Rolos and Hershy Kisses. The next day she hid in my stocking. Then the day after that she hid in my sister's stocking. Whenever my friends come over they always want to see my tree. I’m excited to see where Sparkle Toy hides tomorrow. Also I am super thrilled to keep wearing Christmas pants and shirts. This has been the best Christmas ever so far.

My first Gymnastics competition by #Agent8

 A week before my first gymnastics competition I was going to gymnastics twice a week. I was training for the big day. I had a lot to do and barely any time. I had to get dismissed from school because I had to drive one and a half hours to Holyoke Community College. I had 30 minutes to spare, so we hung out and looked at all of the trophies. I was really nervous. We got in and started to warm up and stretch. After we made our way to bars. I did my routine. Then I looked up at the scoreboard and saw my score. I got 8.95! Everyone was congratulating me on my score. Then we walked over to beam. We warmed up. Then we went. I got an 8.85! We then walked over to the floor ,and I did great. My score was an 8.9. We kept walking to the vault ,and I ran and jumped and got an 8.7. Next we went to Chili’s ,and I got a burger which was really good. We got back to the hotel and got some snacks from the vending machine. We went back to the room to get our bathing suits on. We went back downstairs and jumped in the pool. Afterwards, we walked back upstairs and went to sleep. I can’t wait to go to my next gymnastics competition!

Luke By #Agent16

“Let’s go!” Luke yelled from his car. His friend stumbled out of the door carrying all their supplies to the beach. “Today is the 4th of July,” Luke explained to his friend. “We have to get there before anyone else does.” The friends hustled to the beach right away. To their surprise, they were the first ones. They got the whole beach to themselves. “Let's go pick the perfect spot!” Luke shouted. They set up their umbrellas about 30 feet from the water and ran and jumped in.

“Let’s get the football and play catch.” Luke screamed over the waves. His friend Cam raced to the shore and threw the football as hard as he could to Luke. Somehow it managed to get to Luke! “Nice throw,” Luke screeched.  The two friends played catch until more and more people came. Finally the beach became so crowded that the friends packed up and left. “What a good day at the beach!” Luke said.

 “Let’s go get ice cream,” Cam cried. The two friends went to their favorite ice cream place, Ice Cream City. Each got five scoops of the peach flavored ice cream topped with chocolate chips. It was the best ice cream they ever had. “This is the best 4th of July ever!” they both said.

How to make slime by #Agent13

I am going to tell you how to make slime! The things you will need are glue, borax, water, a bowl or container to make your slime in, shaving cream (optional), lotion (optional), food coloring (optional), something to mix your slime with, and some add-ins. For add-ins you can use beads, glitter, foam balls, clay, or really anything that will decorate your slime. (Although I would not recommend putting Play-Doh in your slime. I tried it once as I did not have clay, and it made the slime really sticky. Model Magic clay works the best in my opinion.

First take your bowl or container and pour the glue in it. Afterwards, if you want to put lotion or shaving cream into the glue, you can. These will make the slime have different textures. Shaving cream will make the slime big and fluffy. Lotion will make the slime nice and stretchy. If you put both in, you will have a big, fluffy, soft, and stretchy slime! Don’t worry. If you don’t have lotion or shaving cream your slime will still turn out amazing! (Make sure the lotion and/or shaving cream is mixed well with the glue!) If you want to put some color in your slime you can! Only put a few drops of food coloring in so that the color is not too dark and strong! Then get a cup, bowl, or container of water and put some borax in. This will be the activator! Be sure to mix the borax into the water so that the borax fully disolves! After that you can start putting the activator in! Only put a few drops of the activator in at a time. Otherwise the slime will be really hard and not stretchy. Once the slime starts to stick to whatever your mixing tool is you can take the slime out and start mixing it with your hands! You want to do this for about 2 minutes so that the activator will be everywhere in the slime! If the slime is still sticky you can add more activator. But only a few drops! Once the slime has the consistency that you like you can add the add-ins that you like! Enjoy your slime!

Winter Break Part 1 by #Agent9

Hi! I am Samantha, but you can call me Sammy. I am eleven years old. Today is the last day of school before winter break. Everyone is talking about winter break and what they are going to be doing during winter break. I get kind of excited during this time of the year. You want to know why? Well I could tell, but I don't want to say. Alright I will tell you. I am going to New York to see my cousin for the first time. They just had a baby girl named Emily. They also have two other kids. They are both boys, which is very disappointing because I have three brothers and no sisters. One of the boys is three years old, and his name is Cameron. The other one's name is Jake. Jake is eight years old. ¨RING RING.¨Yes, school is over for the year. There is screaming all over the room. I am also screaming because I am going to pack up tonight and leave tomorrow. It is a five hour flight, which is a pretty long flight. I am on the bus now. Relax Sammy you can't get in trouble last time remember. It was the first half day of the school year. I screamed so loud it made my whole bus stop talking. After that day I will never scream on the bus again. That is why I am trying to calm myself down. It is almost my stop. Ok here is my stop. When I am back I scream to my family, ¨Are you ready ?¨ All of my family says they are going to pack right now. I say I will go pack my bag too. I am packing three  pajamas, seven outfits, two socks, and three sweatshirts. I am done by the time I eat dinner, watch TV, and take a shower. It is nine o´clock. I say to my mom good night, see you tomorrow morning.

My Dog Bucky by #Agent12

Bucky is a rescue dog from Tennessee. My family and I think he was abused, and we know he lived on the streets. Bucky is very friendly, and he is also very cute. We think Bucky was treated badly and mostly by men. Whenever he meets a man, he is shy, but he walks right up to kids and is gentle with little kids. The fastest way for him to like you is if you give him pets right in front of his tail, but I like to call it butt scratchies. He has the cutest light brown eyes, and his nose twitches when he sniffs you. He’s got a gash in his ear that healed, but it looked like it hurt.

Whenever he wants you to pet him he will flip on his belly and make crazy noises. He is a brown dog, and his paws are white. We think he is a mix of lab, Vizsla, and Pitbull, but we are not certain. When he sees my brother and I being crazy, he lifts one eyebrow and stares at us until we stop. Bucky is always wagging his tail no matter what. When my family leaves to do something outside the house for more than ten minutes he cries. But when we get home, he jumps on us. I love Bucky, and I thought sharing this with you would make you love him too!  

Ridiculous prices by #Agent21

I am here to talk about ridiculous prices and how in the future the people might as well not buy anything. The thing that frustrates me is that people are becoming homeless, and no one is doing anything about it. I find that just messed up, and the worst of after all scammers. There have been lots of things going on in New York that involve tricking  people into giving them money. For example there was something going on about people who dress up as superheroes and ask to take a photo and tell you it's free, but then after the photo they charge you money. If you don’t give them the money they will follow you until you give them money. So many things cost so much money that some jobs just pay (according to Google) $15.49 each hour. I mean that is ok in my opinion, but it just depends on the rent of where you live in. But there is a small chance that the prices will go low in the future if someone would be brave enough to make the prices go low. Not only things become easier to pay for most things but North America might be an easier place to live for most people.
