Stories that made sports legends, sports legends by #Agent9

   

So for this blog I’m going to be talking about moments that made sports legends. By the way, the only sports I’m going to be following are American football, basketball, baseball, football, and boxing. If your favorite sport isn’t on here, I'm sorry these are sports that are the ones I watch personally but let's get to the stories!

American Football: Tom Brady’s combine  

Some might know him as the GOAT( greatest of all time ) of American football, but his NFL(National Football League) combine said otherwise. He had one of the worst in NFL history. His 40 yard dash was 5.28 seconds, which if you're wondering, is horrible. His vertical was even worse at 24.5 inches, which might sound pretty good, but for NFL athletes that’s not good. His 20 yard shuttle was 4.38 seconds. Also combine scouts said “ He has a lack of arm talent and lack of speed. ”Only if they knew what he was going to become.

Basketball: Michael Jordan’s fever

In 1995 game 5 of the NBA finals the Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan had the iconic flu game, and he played like his life depending on it. According to some of his coaches “His temperature was over 100” and he still played. I don’t think anyone would play if their temperature was over, 100 but Michael did it. His stats were amazing! He scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists , the game winning three pointer to make the Bulls lead 3-2. They won the series in the next game where Michael did it again with a buzzer beater with 0.3 seconds left on the clock to win.

Baseball: The Boston Red Sox 2004 comeback

The 2004 season where the year prior the Boston Red Sox sadly lost to their greatest rival. The New York Yankees beat them in the AL championship game. It seemed like the Red Sox would never win another World Series again, and people thought that the team got cursed because Babe Ruth, MLB legend, got traded to the Yankees. They never won again until 2004 where David Ortiz and Pedro Martines locked in winning after winning and won the world Series.

Boxing: Muhammad Ali Iconic knock out 

On May, 25, 1965 Muhammad Ali had his iconic fight against Sonny Liston. His even more iconic photo was taken of him where Muhammad hit him with a big right hook to take down Sonny Liston.

I hoped you enjoyed learning about these stories.

My super power by #Agent22

If I had a super power it would be flight. The power to fly would be handy, so I could levitate. If I could fly I would tell no one but my friends because I wouldn't want the FBI to take me away and do tests on me. I would also use it to win things like races by floating just off the ground. I could go incredibly fast. I would want to fly with birds high in the sky, but I don't want wings. Even though I would be able to fly by myself, I would still take a plane on vacation because I would still want to travel with my family. I would be like superman and save people, and then I would drop them in the ocean, but I would also protect my cats. Flight is the best super power because you can go wherever you want and not have to worry about transportation, like the school bus or cars. I could also fly my friends around, so we could go to fun places. I would be able to go on game shows and win millions of dollars and never have to worry about getting a job. That is what I would do if I could fly.

What is VR? by #Agent21

Have you ever played a Virtual Reality gaming system?

I have! It is a headset that you put over your head and play. You play online games with other people you can talk to. My two favorite games are Gorilla Tag, which is a game where you're a gorilla playing tag. You can jump on trees, walls, and planks to run away from the lava monkeys, which are the taggers. You can go into different maps to play with different experiences. Also there is a shop where you can buy cosmetics to make your monkey look funky or cool. Some maps are Caves, Beach, Forest, Canyons, City, and Shop. 

For my second favorite game I like Animal Company. In this game you get gems to buy items from the shop to get further in different worlds. You can also fight others in a 1v1 match up, but there are modes where you can have a team and battle. In this game you are also a monkey like Gorilla Tag, and you can also buy cosmetics. For some reason most of these games you are a monkey. One other game that I know is Scary Baboon. It’s like a horror game but baboons. You can attack the bad guys for money to upgrade your stuff to take them out quicker. This game I don’t really play, but I do sometimes. This game is like Animal Company because you buy new things to get further past bad guys. There are jump scares, and wrong you're a monkey which is the same with both of them.

So, if you had VR or if you have one which games would you like to play or what games do you play?

Spring time by #Agent12

 Spring is filled with many things: blooming plants, warm weather, and allergies. Many things to look forward to. Some are the new weather and being to wear less layers just to go outside. Warm weather is good to have back. And I miss pools. I have seen a lot of cherry blossoms or pink flowered trees. One day I saw thirty one motorcycles and two slingshots. It’s nice to have the birds out and it being in the 70s 80s, and it being sunny. I can finally wear shorts again. I can use my scooter I got for Christmas. Allergies are the down part; stuffy noses that don’t stop. And my eyes HURT all day. It’s crazy it’s already spring! 2026 is going by so fast. 2027 is coming in a few months. Spring is also home to Easter and where I went for brunch was bad. The food wasn’t good; the waiter took forever to come for drinks. And the whole building itself looks bad. But I did get a lot of candy, which was awesome. I got markers and sketch books. Spring is beautiful. All the flowers bloom then destroy my eyes. That’s all, have a good spring.

My Trip To Florida Pt.3 by #Agent16

Welcome to another blog post. Before we begin today’s post, I would like to quote Dumbledore and say a few words.  And here they are: “Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!” Thank you. Now, without further ado, my blog post.

This is about my trip to Florida, USA. In Orlando, we picked up my dad’s cousin Bethany, and drove to our hotel. The next day, we went to Universal. The parks that we visited that day were Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. They were AWESOME!!!! At Universal Studios, we explored a bit and then took the Hogwarts Express to Islands of Adventure. It felt so real! At Islands of Adventure, my two favorite rides that I went on were both roller coasters. They were called The Incredible Hulk Coaster and The Velocicoaster. They were both really cool! Then, the second day, we went to Epic Universe. The rides were awesome. In the Super Mario part of it, they dug it down and put high walls so you could not see anything besides the bright blue sky! It literally felt like you were in a game of Mario! My favorite ride there was probably Minecart Madness, which was the Donkey Kong ride. It was such an awesome experience. Then, the plane ride home was perfectly normal. In fact, it was a little ahead of schedule, unlike the plane ride there that was a hot mess. But that was all in part 1. That is all for this week's blog. See you next time!

How To Draw The Pink And White Marshmallow Jellycat by #Agent1

  

The pink and white Marshmallow Jellycats are super cute and fluffy. They come as a pair, and they always look like besties. I think they look so cool as drawings, and I hope you do too. Today I will teach you how to draw these Jellycats step by step.

Step 1: Gather your materials. You will need:

• A piece of paper

• A pencil

• Coloring tools

• A Sharpie

Step 2: Put your paper on a hard flat surface.

Step 3: With your pencil, draw a short vertical rectangle with round edges. This is the body.

Step 3: Now we can draw the eyes. All you need to do is draw two small circles next to each other horizontally and fill them in.

Step 4: Next we’ll draw the legs. On the bottom right corner of the body draw two short parallel lines going diagonally.

Step 5: At the end of the legs draw an oval. That is the right foot.

Step 6: Mirror what you did on the right on the left. This will be the left foot. 

Step 7: Finally it's time to give your marshmallow some pizzazz! You can draw the mouth to look sad or excited. You can also add accessories like shoes or a hat. Try to make it seem alive.

Step 8: All you need to do for the second one is mirror this, color it pink, and if you want different accessories or faces, draw them on.

Hope you liked drawing a Jellycat!

More Places to Travel to by #Agent19

If you like very cold, cold enough to have a few polar bears, beautiful aurora borealis or northern lights, cute igloos, beautiful scenery that is very good for pictures, magical ice sculptures, and the most amazing museum you will ever see, then I think you would like Fairbanks, Alaska. Fairbanks, Alaska is located next to Canada, so it is very cold and people have seen polar bears roaming the wild. In Fairbanks, Alaska the aurora borealis, or the northern lights, whichever one you prefer, are so very beautiful in the starry night sky. They make me want to visit the coldest state in the U.S. right now. The igloos there are amazingly cute. The scenery in Fairbanks is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. In Fairbanks, the scenery is the most perfect thing I have ever seen for photos. Fairbanks, Alaska’s ice sculptures are the most magical things in the world. The sculptures just feel like something straight out of heaven. The best museum in my opinion in the United States of America is the UAF Museum of the North, because it is very modern but still has that peep of history. So if you like those things that I think you would like Fairbanks, Alaska.

Roblox Games by #Agent13

Roblox games are peak when you just want to chill. I will be showing some of them. First up Weird Gun Game. In the game when you first load in you can vote on a map. There are capture zones, free for all, and teams. My favorite is capture zones. Then, you can mod your weapon with weird parts. Some of them are fish heads and ketchup. Then there are cool maps. At the top of the screen you will see your kills and killstreak. It is so cool with all the fast-paced action on the battlefield. Next, Grow a Garden. In this game you buy seeds from Sam to grow your garden. Then, once they grow you sell them to buy more seeds. There are also pets in the game. My favorite is my pet Junkbot. He can apply the oil mutation to fruits in my garden. Sadly, he has not done it yet. My friend got the rarest thing from the bug egg. It is the Dragonfly. I do not know what it does, but it is cool. The admin abuses are awesome because they have crazy events. Grow a Garden is sitting at 90K players. Weird Gun Game is at 1.5K players. This is my blog about Roblox games. Thanks for looking at my blog.

Goat Rock by #agent6

In my Bumpa’s backyard there are hiking trails, but only  one is my favorite. When we enter we go to the left and then keep going straight. That leads us to a beautiful area for hikers to rest. It's fun to explore that area before continuing our journey. We keep going straight and soon there's a hill with lots of rocks we have to avoid. While avoiding the rocks we also have to watch out for horse poop. Once we have done all that we have to go down the hill while again avoiding rocks and horse poop. After some tripping, because it's harder than it looks to avoid rocks while going down hill, we reach goat rock. Goat rock is a bunk of huge rocks put together that you can climb on. While exploring your probably new favorite place you can see a ton of cool areas to take pictures, hang out, and play a game. Usually when my Bumpa and I get there we eat some snacks and take a break before exploring what goat rock has to offer. But if we go next to Goat rock there's this super tall one. My Bumpa and I haven't climbed it yet because you need climbing gear, but we plan to this summer. But near this tall one there's a ton of child fittable cracks perfect for kids to play hide and seek! Just don't go in the cracks if you don't like spiders. Thank you for reading! Next time I can write about the huge lake!

Weekend at the Competition- Part 2 by #Agent4

Everything about cheer competition day is exciting. My mom does the hair for everybody on the cheer team or most people on the cheer team. That means that I have to wake up extra early. Once I was all dressed and ready and had my hair done we had to go downstairs and meet my teammates. I got to do the red lipstick for everybody because my coach knew I could do it. My dad and brother were getting breakfast at the hotel, so I joined them because I was starving. After I was done eating and everybody was ready for the competition we got into cars and drove to Mohegan Sun. When everybody was at Mohegan Sun we started stretching and practicing our routines before we got on stage. We were in line to perform and everybody was so anxious, it felt like our hearts were going to beat out of our chests! We heard the music go on, and everybody was in the zone and ready to perform. WOO! YAY! BOOM! Come On! You got this! We did great, and we were so excited. We did the best we have ever done. After three hours of eating and boredom we had awards. For my division there was only one other team against us, but we were neck and neck about our scores. We heard them call 2nd place; there was complete silence. Then we heard them call 1st place, and we jumped up and started cheering and screaming. We got 1st place! We will never forget that weekend!

My first lacrosse game by #Agent7

Today for my blog I will be telling you about my first game. This past Sunday I had a game against a team. The team wasn’t that good because my team won 15 - 5. I scored my first goal of the season, and it was in the first game and not the last. One of our players got hurt, so she was on the sideline. It was okay because then the other team had more of an advantage. Our coach told the ref that he can just give the ball to the other team. When they had the ball they dropped it a few times, and then we got to play offence. However our coach said that if they say green then you can go and shoot. I got confused because I didn’t know if they said green or pass because everyone was talking at the same time. I overthrew it, and it got lost. I mean it didn’t really get lost, it just defied gravity. My mom and dad thought that I did a good job, and I also thought that I did a good job. At the end of the game we all said GG, which means good game, but I like to say GG. When the game was done I was able to get Starbucks. Thank you for reading my blog.

Fishing for snakes by #Agent14

On Wednesday April 15 my friend's mom brought me and my friends fishing at a pond in my town. This is a small pond located in the middle of town, and it’s a popular place for people to fish and hangout. I have been to this pond many times and usually have good luck fishing because there are a lot of fish. During this trip to this pond three of us caught fish, and my other friend and I  didn’t. I didn’t leave empty handed because I caught something that looked like a clam. One thing I wasn’t expecting to see there was a Boa Constrictor, and three pythons. The snakes weren’t loose near the pond. They were with their owners because they were going on a walk around the Pond. The biggest snake names were Zeeus and Twister. One of their owners said that they had one of the pythons for more than thirty years. Another thing he said was that his youngest snake, which was the Boa Constrictor, was the biggest snake he had. Their owners also let us hold them. I got a couple photos with them around my neck, and one of them went down my leg.  At first I thought I would be scared to hold it, but then after holding it I noticed that I wasn’t scared at all. The owners said that the snakes were around 7 to 9 pounds. When I first saw them I thought they would be light and slimy to hold, but then when I held them it was way heavier than I thought and not slimy at all. That is all about my fishing for snakes trip.

My first soccer game in Spring by #Agent11

This weekend I had my first soccer game. It was on a Saturday, and I had just gotten back from my brother's game. We started with a 30 minute practice and then went on to the game. We all had different places than usual and did not seem to notice. We started the game, and we were already up there by 10 minutes. We had already scored a goal. The score was now 1-0 with us winning. It was interesting to play with cleats that were too big because I could not run correctly at all. In the middle of the game we started getting tired because we had no subs and most of the offensive players weren't there. But we still had another half to play. The coaches came up with a pretty good setup, and we would definitely win. And the setup worked perfectly. Everyone was doing exactly what they should be doing. We got 2 more goals in about 15 minutes and just had to keep the other team from scoring. Which we did a very good job with because the game ended with us winning 3-0. That is what my first game in spring was like.

My Favorite Fast Food Restaurants Ranked in Tiers by #Agent17

My favorite fast food restaurants ranking is based on tiers like A tier and B tier. The worst tier is F then D, C, B, A, S which is the best. First is Taco Bell. Taco Bell is good but not amazing. I get the Crunch Wrap Supreme. I would say B tier. Next is Wendy's. I like Wendy’s a lot, but they always get my order wrong. I get 4 piece chicken nuggets with baconator fries which are very good. I would say B tier. Now we have KFC. Mmmm so good. I love KFC’s chicken, and it is finger licking good. Sadly the closest one is very far away. I give this A tier. Next we have McDonalds. Ronald McDonald was a genius for putting icees on the menu because that's why I go. I like the fries, but overall the burgers are small and the patties are thin. I say B tier. Next is Chick-Fil-A. I am not a fan of Chick-Fil-A, but it is pretty good. I get the spicy chicken sandwich. I say C tier. Last is Dave’s Hot Chicken. I have had this once and not that great but still pretty good. I was not hungry when I got it, so that is not fair to be ranking it badly. I got chicken tenders, and it was spicy. The curly fries were good, and the chicken was good too. I say C tier.  I have not yet found an S tier fast food restaurant.  

What are toucans? By #Agent10

Toucans are well-known birds. A toucan is a type of bird that is described as having a bright and large beak. They are found and live in the continents of Africa and Asia. Their legs are said to be strong and short. This is the same with its neck, being thick and short too. They also resident birds who stay where they live and do not migrate to places’ the same with parrots. Toucans are known to places around the world.

A toucan’s behavior can be very interesting too. Because of the toucan’s large beak, it can get food from branches and inside trees called tree cavities, like teeth. Another thing is that they mostly hop around from branch to branch with their strong legs. They do this because their wings are small.  A toucan would need to fly a lot to get to somewhere, so they do this to save or conserve energy. Toucans are said to be primary frugivores. This means that they eat things like fruit or things that produce fruit such as roots, nuts, and seeds. They are also known for catching or grasping insects and small reptiles with their edged or serrated beak. I would say toucans would be birds that are different from others.

My new obsession with Pokemon by #Agent2

Ever since I bought the new game Pokemon Legends ZA, I've been addicted to Pokemon. Pokemons are basically creatures that can be used in battles, but to get them you have to catch them with a poke ball. Then you want to level them up and evolve them to stronger forms. I really like Pokemon ZA because of the big map and their fun platforming and new Mega evolutions ( Mega evolutions are when they evolve for a short time, but they are super strong). They also made cards for them called Pokemon cards. I used to collect Pokemon cards when I was little. I want to do it again, but every Target says they're all out even though it says two per person. It's probably grown adults trying to get something rare to sell. Apparently the Pokemon card game is very strategic, and you have to pick the best cards. My Pokemon in the game are Emboar, a fire fighting type, Gyarados, a water flying type, Abomasnow, a grass ice type, Alaakazam, a psychic type, Chandelure, a ghost fire type, and Onix, a rock ground type. With them all being different types, I think that's good but people playing have the most overpowered Pokemon. I also really like the names because sometimes they are puns. For example, Emboar is a Fire pig, and his name is a mix of boar and ember. There's also some that connect with the evolutions. For example, one Pokemon starts off being named Abra the Kadabra and then Alakazam. I also really like the games because they are long and don't end, and then there is nothing to do in all the games. Once you beat ZA you can go back in and try to collect all the Pokemon you missed and fill out your pokedex (  a machine that tracks all the Pokemon you've caught). I love Pokemon and the games, and I hope nothing changes about it!

The Fifth Grade Play! by #Agent18

 

So on April 7,9,10,11, and 12 we performed our play! We did it for our school and then our parents and families. The play was Alice in Wonderland. So some fifth graders who wanted to do it signed up. Then we had dance and singing auditions. Around 85 kids signed up, so our music teacher [the director] had to split us up into two casts; the green cast and the blue cast. A few parts were in all of the shows, and I was one of them! There were eight shows in total: two on Tuesday, two on Thursday, one on Friday, two on Saturday, and one on Sunday. Since there were two casts, one cast did four shows and the other did the other four. I was in all eight though! We've been working since November, with play practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was chorus one. There’s also chorus two, but their singing and dancing. Chorus one is just dancing, but we’re in all of the shows. So I’d rather be in chorus one, which I was! After the last show on Sunday we had a cast party. In the cast party if you ordered one you would get a shirt with the Cheshire cat on it, and the shirt says Alice in Wonderland, the name of our school, and the days we performed. There was a signing stand where we could sign each other's shirts, and I got a good amount of signs. For food there was pizza, cupcakes, juice, and chips. Also the girl who played Alice is allergic to a lot of things, so her mom brought cupcakes for people who aren't allowed to have things that may-contain Treenuts, peanuts, ect. because the ones they were serving  said that it may-contain that stuff. That was really nice but even though I’m allergic to nuts too my mom lets me have may-contain. Also there was a spot where you could take photos. That is all about my fifth grade play!

My in school musical by #Agent15

My music teacher in school does a musical every year. This year it was Alice in Wonderland. We started working on this way back in November. First we had to audition, but no one was cut. That basically means if you sign up you participate no matter what unless you drop out. There were auditions then callbacks if they wanted to see you again. I was not in the call backs. Then a week later they gave everybody their roles. I got chorus two, which was singing and dancing. Chorus one was just dancing. I was happy with my part. Then for the months leading up to April we were rehearsing every Tuesday and Thursday, but you only went when you're supposed to go. We all got a schedule that included your parts and when we were supposed to come. The rehearsals were at least 2 hours, which may seem like a lot but it was super fun. Then we had our dress rehearsal which was 3 hours, but it went by super quickly. After the dress rehearsal my friend who does it with me came over for a bit. Then when you got your part you went into a cast. There was a green and blue cast. I was in the green cast. The difference is you perform on different times and days because there were so many people. There were around 85 people, but some people were in both casts because they didn’t have a lot to do in the play. There were 8 shows in total. I was in four of them. After we finished our shows we had a cast party, which was super fun. We got matching t-shirts, and we had pizza, cupcakes, snacks, and juice boxes. It was a really good experience. I hope you enjoyed reading about my show. 

What I did in Pennsylvania. Part 2 Outdoors! By #Agent5

We had an amazing time outdoors! We went tubing, skiing, and sledding. On the first day, we just went sledding because we were warming up and getting used to Pennsylvania after a 4-5 hour car ride. The sledding hills were ginormous! Sledding became a dangerous sport when we kept falling off the sleds and getting snow all up our boots! At this time, we were mostly just playing outside in the snow all day. For the next day we went snow tubing. We stayed there for about 4 hours! We went so fast down the hills! The only hard part was how big the hill was. We had to walk up a really steep hill, which isn’t that bad. We had super heavy snow clothes on, so it was so tiring. While we were tubing, there was a lift, but there was a huge line for it so it was faster to walk. Basically, when you fly down the hill, you get on the tube, go racing down, and then most of the time you fall over because there were these mats that made you go BUMP! BUMP! BUMP! But it was exciting when you fell because it felt funny. My body was vibrating, and I would crash. It was one of the coldest days I have ever experienced!! But luckily I got hot by walking up the hill, and there was a fire. The next day was skiing day. I have already skied a lot before, but it was good to get a little refresher on skiing, so we took a downhill skiing lesson. It was pretty enjoyable doing the lessons, but I fell a lot. About 30 minutes in, I got my touch back and went zooming! I had the time of my life. We did a repeat on the last full day, and we sadly left. I loved it there at Sky Top Lodge, and I hope to go back some day. 

My sleepover with a friend Part 1 by #Agent20

  

Last Friday my best friend came over for a sleepover at my Cape house. When she got to my house we played basketball for a few minutes, and then we left for my Cape house. We stopped at a gas station on the way and got candy and drinks for the ride. During the ride we were singing with plastic microphones for all of the cars that were passing by us. We got a couple of cheers and laughs for that. Once we got there we unpacked our stuff and then played with my dog. After a little bit we decided to ride our bikes to the beach. I showed her all the beaches, and we played there for a while and put our feet in the water. We rode our bikes back and then played freeze tag with my siblings and their friends. Shortly after that we got dinner from Shake Shack. After dinner my friend showed me her new squishies, and we played with them. My brother decided it was a good idea to blast his fart gun in our room, so we ran outside and chased them with Nerf guns. After we blasted him and his friend with Nerfs we had an awesome glow in the dark egg hunt. I got way less eggs than my friend because my sister kept stealing them from my basket and putting them in my friend’s basket. Once we finished the egg hunt we watched the movie Hop and then went to bed.

Cool facts about Michelle Obama by #Agent3

I am going to tell you some cool facts about Michelle Obama. 

• She was gifted student and an early learner; she graduated from Princeton and Harvard  Law.

I admire how smart she was and how hard she worked to get into Harvard University. Another reason why I admire her is because she and her brother both skipped second grade.

• She was a Grammy Award winner from her show Waffles and Moji.

This show is for kids on Netflix, and it talks about how certain foods are made and where they come from. I think it's a really good show because when the main characters come back to the shop from going all around the world they would talk to Michelle about it. Then Michelle Obama talks to them about what they discovered and how to use it in your everyday cooking.

• Michelle Obama also made a beautiful garden at the White House. 

I researched that every year she goes over to the White House to put new flowers in to make sure it's okay, and sometimes her daughter helps her.

• Michelle Obama made a world record for the most jumping jacks and did it with 400 local kids. They did it for 24 hours straight, so it wasn't just her it was also a lot of other kids. 

• She married Barack Obama.

They met in college, where Barack Obama was doing something for school and Michelle Obama was helping him as his mentor. They started dating and then got married and had two kids named  Malia and Sasha. 

• She was the first African American First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017.

Over the years while Michelle Obama was in the White House, she made a program for kids and families to start exercising called “Let's Move.” It was a lot of movement and exercising inside and outside. 

•  All about their two dogs

 After the girls were 10 or 11 they got two dogs named Bo and Sunny. Bo is a black and white dog, and Sunny is all black so I think it's easy to tell the difference. When it's snowing the dogs go outside and play with the girls. Some adventures that they went with their dog on is a trip to the Great Wall of China and Paris.

Band Percussion by #Agent12

 

 Band class is mostly fun. But it does matter where you are. In some places it’s boring but you can be in a place with a lot of percussion instruments.  Using the snare drum is fun once you can learn to read to music. Using the drum kit was awesome. In middle school you have to learn timpani, vibraphone, or marimba. In high school you might have to learn tenors.  Using all those instruments is fun. I don't want to do marching because the uniform, and using the drumkit seems way cooler. I can get a simple beat ,but I can’t get a beat with a repeated high hat. Our last band concert that we played took it all in. I was on cymbals, but they had none so why have it included if not even have the cymbals. One thing is I learned how to play one song on the piano. I learned it easily. I lost my drum sticks at practice and I think someone took them. So I use the temu drum sticks. The other instruments at the concert were concert toms, tamborine, bass drum, and cowbell. We weren’t told we needed to wear black you can’t see percussion anyways. I watched everyone else, and I liked the one with the tenors. The high schoolers were good. My mom watched all of them. We were supposed to leave there after mine, but she stayed another 2 hours.  

Celtics vs Timberwolves by #Agent9

On Sunday March, 22, 2026 I went to my first NBA (National basketball association). So usually for sports I have two favorite teams. For example for American football I like on the AFC The Houston Texans. In the NFC I like The Chicago Bears. For the NCAA I like Duke and Ohio State. This applies for me with basketball which is the Boston Celtics and the Minnesota Timberwolves which is the game I went to. So first I had to get in basketball spirit  and wear what team I was rooting for. By the way it was the Timberwolves and I was ready to cheer my favorite player, Anothony Edwards but we’ll get to that later. But before the game me my mom and I went to the gas station to get some snacks for the car ride. I got some Skittles, and my mom got some Troils. After 45 minutes we were finally at TD Garden. We first got some food at the food court. I got some cheese pizza, and when I say the pizza was massive I mean it. After that we got to our seats, and I saw some of my favorite players practice like Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, Derrick White, Jaden Mcdaniels, the Rudy Gobert. I couldn’t see my favorite player, Anothany Edwards, where. It was like playing Where is Waldo? The game started. Still no ANTHONY, but then I realized he wasn’t playing. I was really bummed out but, I was still excited to cheer my team on. Also seeing the players close up is an amazing feeling, and I’ve never been that close to anyone that tall either. Also the feeling of being close to famous people is also amazing. At first the Timberwolves started slow, but then we picked up the scoring. Then at half the game was tied ,and I was hyped. One of the Timberwolves’s  players were shooting free throws, and I was waving to Jayson Tatum to see if I could get his attention. But then Jaden Mcdaniels was talking to him, and he pointed at me. So I'm pretty sure the conversation went like this, (Mcdaniels)”Yo JT I think a kid is waiving at you!” (Tatum)“ Ok” then Jayson Tatum points at me. I point at me. He nodded, and he waved back! But then in the 4th quarter the Timberwolves were down by nine. There was  back and forth action. Timberwolves score! Celtics score! The game is tied, but the guy who replaced Anthony Edwards gets a clutch three. All the Timberwolves players are on getting points after points, and the Timberwolves WON!                

The Penny by #Agent21

Lately, I’ve been thinking about things that people collect: some people collect watches, stamps, and coins. I like to collect different kinds of trading cards, like football and Pokemon. My mom collects magnets from places we travel to. Another popular item to collect is the penny. Now is a good time to start collecting pennies because the United States stopped making them. They stopped making pennies on November 12, 2025. The main reason is because it cost the US Mint 4 cents on material to make 1 cent. I think this is a good reason to stop making them; however, there could be some bad outcomes with no pennies or less pennies. For example, what if you go to a store and the price is something that ends in pennies like $19.84? How will you pay that in cash if there are no pennies to be used? I don't think this will be a big deal because most people don't use cash to pay for things these days. Most people pay with a credit card or a phone. 

When the penny was first introduced in 1793 it could buy a loaf of bread. But today I can't buy anything. A lot of times I see pennies  being collected at places like McDonalds for their charity. Another downside to no pennies is that charities could lose out on some donation income.

Overall I think it will be okay that the U.S. stopped producing pennies. Lucky for me my grandfather kept a lot of pennies thinking they could get rare.

Sleepovers by #Agent13

At every sleepover there is so much hype when you first arrive. But for me they are pretty good. When I first arrive I usually bring something cool, like my dartboard. Then we do something demonic, insane, and crazy. Last time we created a mini economy with different things with different prices. My friend was the richest. But my other friend and I teamed up and almost bought the mini basketball hoop from him. Then after that we have dinner. It is mostly pizza, which I like the most. But when I had my birthday sleepover we had breakfast for dinner. That was awesome. Then next we play video games. They are usually from YouTube Shorts. We watch them then, we end up having fun. One time we were playing this bartender game, then we served this guy the most perfect drink. It was so glorious, and we were so happy. Then we have dessert. It is often cookies and ice cream. This is a classic. I will not forget it when I am old. Then we binge Minecraft videos. We watch Evbo, JudeLow, and MrBeast. My friend goes to bed at 10. But recently he went to bed at 11:45, which is good for him. This is my blog about sleepovers. I hoped you liked it!
