For me sometimes things can’t go my way. Other times I might feel that I want to be somebody else but I realize it’s not right. Sometimes people might have a cool style of way things work and you might have the temptation to follow them. But I say No! You shouldn’t be following others on what they do or what they say or how they act. Be Yourself! if you try to act like somebody else then you might end up failing and getting yourself in trouble or hurt.That’s why you should just be who you are hang out with your regular friends. If you think you don’t have any friends then just try to make some or find another person who’s in your position and then you guys can become friends,it’s as simple as that! If you think you get caught in the middle of all of this just try to calm down and try to fix your problems. You can even ask your teacher for help if you need guidance. Don’t try to make yourself be sad because you want to hang out with somebody and they just reject you just try to find another way or just become friends with somebody else who is willing to be your friend or even best friend that would be even better! So Express Yourself……Be Yourself!

Avon baseball is awesome. I’ve been playing for 7 years, not counting this coming year. I play on Avon Fire. My dad and my friend’s dad are both head coaches. Their is four leagues majors, minors, farm league, instructional, and tee ball.Avon baseball plays with Holbrook. We either play at the Sumner which is in Holbrook or at the Crowley which is in Avon. My team plays once a week. But what time you play changes every year. Theres a draft every year for majors. Ten through twelve year olds can try out for majors.

Stoughton football is great. There are so many fun things to do. But you have to go to all the practises are they are very had. But the gams are very fun when you get touchdowns. The coaches are hard on you in practise so you need to be able to take the coaches yelling at you when you do not do something wrong. You need to do good in practise and hit hard so you will do good in the game and you will hit hard and score touchdowns. My team was okay we did not win many games. You have to join before the summer because football practise starts in the summer but with no pads which is not as much fun. After two weeks you start topractise with pads and then the games will start soon after that and the games are the best part. You practise four or five times a week and play a game on Sunday and do it again next week.

For me its hard to roller skate with original roller skates because of  the two wheels in frount and the two wheels in back. I always roller skate with in line skates, their real easy for me because all of the wheels are in a line and the break is on the right roller skate so all you do is lift it up and you stop. In 1743 roller skateing was first done. The inventor who invented it had a stage performance in Loundon. In the 1800s roller skateing was becomeing real big in america. Their are all types of skateing like freestyle and group skateing.thats some of the fun stuff and information about roller skateing.

In science class we are learning about the Cell Theory. There are three parts to the Cell Theory . The first part is about every living thing is made up of cells. The second part of the cell theory is about all life processes happen inside the cell. (Energy, Growth, Reproduction.) The third part of the cell theory is New cells are made up of existing cells. The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke. He was able to make this discovery by using an old microscope made by himself that magnifies objects 30 times its regular size. As he examined the cells he discovered box looking compartments like a honeycomb or a bee hive. That was all about the cell theory and myself found it interesting to learn about.

Parts of the dirtbike:

• Throttle: Gas
• Clutch: switch the gears
• Wheels
• Chain

Dirtbiking is a awesome sport. You can travel all throughout the world riding in different areas. The  fuel capticicty for the dirtbike is called ”cc” There are many gears in the dirtbike. The one I have is four gears. My whole family rides we usually ride near west brigewater. My aunt has a 250 cc my uncle has a 625 cc my brother has a 250 cc. We have a 250 and my oldest one when were were little kids is 175 cc but as we grew we got bigger ones..

I mostly ride dirtbike and quads but I like dirtbikes better because they are way more challenging than a quad because qauds have 4 wheels when a dirtbike only has 2.

I love to ride these, Here are some pictures of dirtbikes:

This is a dirtbike

     Photography is an awesome hobby for after school!  This is my second year with Ms. Dombrowski in photography.    For the session, we get six weeks to work on different assignment. For example, one of our assignments is with light in a picture ? Ther are four different types of light- flat light, front light, back light, and side light. Flat light is when there is no sun out, or when it is sort of gray and foggy. Side light is when the light is on the side. This type of light shows more texture.  Back light is what it sounds like- in the back. Front light is in the front, but it isn’t the best type of light because it  can make your subject squint. Another assignment is leading lines. Almost anything can be leading lines. Some examples are street lines, fences, and horizons. Photography is an awesome after school activity that anyone can try!

  My favorite activity after school is   the Rip Stick. The Rip Stick is a skateboard and  a scooter combined together. The Rip Stick has two wheels and two standing spots so you can ride it. The Rip Stick is challenging because it is all about balance, you have to have balance to stay on the Rip Stick. The Rip Stick comes in many different colors and sizes and you can buy different color Rip Stick and wheels. “Caster board.” Wikipedia . 15 Dec 2009.

Schweenies are the most cutest dogs around! They only get up 10 pounds! They have teddy bear faces. Also they love to wear sweaters because they are so tiny that they can loose there body temperaturereally quickly because there so small! Some of them have a little bit of terrier in them so they are made up of a Shih tzu and a Dachshund hybrid. It is not a purebred dog. They are very cute and small, my Schweenie is 8 weeks old now. He is potty trained to go outside and when he does then you give him a treat and praise him. Also if you have a cat i wouldn’t recommendthis dog because they fight but its not that bad they just play around with each other.

Have you ever had a broken arm? I have, and they hurt very lot. When I broke my arm I did it by falling back on my arm rollerblading. It hurt  lotbut I only cried for a few seconds. My Dad was watching me when I brock it.  He said it was OK then my mom came home and brought me to the hospital. When I got to the hospital they said it was  broken and we needed to transfer hospitals to The Floating hospital for kids in Boston. We went on an ambulance ride to get to the hospital. It was a fun and cool to ride in the ambulants but I was still a little scared. It was the Monday after we got out of school and I was upset because it was summer and you can’t play much with a broken arm. Now, as of today I have two more digress to have a strait arm. I didn’t like not being able to swim and play soccer but I managed. I guess thought of it as that I would be able to do all the fun things I like to do after I wait. I thought of it as that I would be so existed when I got out of the cast. I am out of the cast now and I can do everything I love to do. What do you thing it would be like to have a broken arm? I know it is not fun but at least I can do everything now.

Did you know that bikes were invented in the summers of 1817 and 1818? It was invented by  the German Baron Karl von Drais. He made everything on the bike except for the peddles. But, in 1860, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and Pierre Lallement added peddles to Drais’s creations. I ride my bike almost every afternoon. I ride all over my neighborhood. I love bike riding ! Also when you ride bikes , you are getting fresh air and some exercise.  Many people around the world ride bikes to work, to school, and many other places. There are bikes for children, and also adults. You can ride your bike with a friend, with your family, and also by yourself. So keep riding those brilliant bikes!

I know that  because I play the flute with him on thursdays. Playing band cost money even though I pay twelve dollars every class but it’s worth it. Mr. Smith the band conductor is nice and patient he’ll work with you slowly and easy so you can learn how to play your instrument. I just started so I’m kind of behind in band but I learned new songs already! If you join then that will make things even more fun! We have one session right when school ends so you have to bring the instrument to school and then go straight to band when that class is done your parents pick you up. Mrs. Goulart saw that many kids wanted to join band so she made another class to go at 5:30.

Hockey is my favorite sport and I play for the Mohawks.  The rink is located in Randolph, MA.  It is about ten  minutes from our school.  It cost about 1,000 dollars to play for the entire season.  Our season runs from September to April.   Plus you have to buy all of the equipment which includes a helmet, chest protector ,elbow pads, shin pads, hockey skates, pants, neck guard and a stick.  I play for the Mohawk Squirt A’s. The levels from youngest to oldest is Learn To Play Hockey, Mite, Squirt, Peewee, Bantam, and lastly Midget. Team A is the highest level and C is the lowest level.  My team is tied for second out of 20 teams.  Our record is 9 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties.  The head coaches for my team are Mike  and Tony.  My Dad is an assistant coach.  I would say that every player on my team is a star player because there are 6 players on my team that play for a select team and the rest are still really good.  Usually each team has at least one tournament.  It is really fun to be in tournaments because you get to stay in a hotel.  Also each team has a chance to going to the State Finals.  The average amount of kids on a team is about 12.  In each season there is 30 games which makes it so much fun to play. The games are on the weekend and I have 1 and sometimes 2 games in one weekend.  For the Mohawks I practice two times a week. I practice on Tuesday and Thursday.  I love playing hockey and I think if you are interested you should try it.  At first I didn’t want to play but when I tried it I loved it.  Trust me if you like to skate fast you should try hockey, you’ll love it!

This is not the first time it has been around. In 1976 it first appeared. Some symptoms are coughing ,aches and pains, chills, tiredness, headache, and chest discomfort.   Stuffy nose is not a symptom of swine flu.  Sneezing is not a symptom.   Sore throat is not a symptom of swine flu.  Swine flu is especially dangerous for pregnant women. Diarrhea and vomiting may occur in swine flu for adults and children. In swine flu children symptoms include signs of breathing problems. This can include blue lips and skin,dehydration,fast breathing,long sleep,seizures, and irritability.  The swine flu appears to be hitting ill children harder than the seasonal flu. The children that have died so far is 2/3 had pre -existing conditions such as cerebral palsy, musculardystrophy and developemental delays. Children with nerve and muscle problems maybe high risk for complication. Children without chronic health problems, must beware if they recover and relapse with a high fever. This maybe pneurmonia and needs antibiotics.

If you have ever been in a trampoline, you know how fun it can be.  M y neighbor has a trampoline, and whenever I have time I go in it.  You can do tricks, such as some that I know how too do.  I can do a front tuck, front flip,front hand spring,double tuck, double flip, knee flip,half back flip, half  back tuck,front tuck with a half twist, and more I can’t even think of.  Then there are others that I am practicing and are so close to be able to do, such as back flip, back tuck, back handspring, front flip with a full twist, and others that I haven’t heard of.  But trampolines aren’t all fun, you have to be careful too. Try to think about me doing all of those tricks without a net. You would not believe how many times I have crashed into the net, loosing control. Now imagine how many times I would have flew right out of that trampoline, broken either my arm, my leg, my wrist, my ankle my back, or for heaven’s sake my neck! You can also play games such as popcorn, boat jacker, Marco Polo, dead mummy, and so much more! It is so much fun. In popcorn, some one curls up on the trampoline(acting as a kernel), while the others jump trying to make the person pop open like popcorn. In boat jacker, their are 2 boat jackers that try to grab someones leg and knock them over.  If they do fall over, they would become the boat jacker. If they don’t fall over, the game keeps going.  You all know how to play Marco Polo, and dead mummy is like Marco Polo, only the mummy doesn’t call out. All those games would be dangerous out of the trampoline, and I don’t know how you would play popcorn out of a trampoline. Trampolines are fun. We should all get one.

Stoughton basketball is a league that many people play in.My favorite sport is basketball.My coaches name is Richard Rico and he is an amazing coach.He teaches us How to make foul shots, how to use the square on the backboard.We have not played a game yet but my team is really good! I have ten kids on my team most of them are really good at shooting from a distance and layups from under the hoop.My coach also teaches us how to box out our opponents and get the rebound.We run suicides so we can get speed.Another drill our team does is a dribbling across the court and try not to let the coach get the ball and if he does you have to run a lap.

Last month, I found out how to make my very own Pokemon. They are called, Pokemon sprites. My friend Ariana, who lives in Braintree, her uncle works for the Pokemon card company. When she told me i was so excited. I kept making more and more Pokemon every day. So I showed her the pictures I took of them and asked her if her uncle would make these in the new Pokemon series. She said “if you make one more Pokemon and print the Pokemon out, I will give them to him. But you have to give me the pictures”. When I heard that i was super excited. So I ran home and made more Pokemon. I still have to print the pictures out, but other then that, i am finished!!!

   The U.S. Marine Corps is a component of the United States Navy. It is an armed force responsible for providing “force protection” to our nation. They travel on land and see. Every time someone joins the marines, it costs the nation about $20,000. They are very cost effective. The Marine Corps was created in 1775 and has been successful every since then. In the 20th century, the marine corps had become the dominant theorist and had also become the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare. The United States Marine Corps have attended every armed conflict including War War I and World War II. The Marine Corps includes over 200,ooo active marines!  The United States Coast Guard has a smaller population. The Marine Corps is bigger  than the whole British Army!  Also, the marines cover the whole Three Block War.

   The Marine Corps don’t just protect the United States, they protect our allies as well. If you think about joining the Marine Corps, then you are serving your country and that is one of the best things you can do! If you go to war, which hopefully will never happen, then you must always wear a helmet, always wear pads, always wear a bullet proof vest, and always wear your equipment right.

Bowling is my favorite sport. Ive been playing for more than six years and still playing. My average is a 146, and my highest game is a 181 my team has four players. Those players are my brother Adam, Paul, Joe, and me. My team is in first place and we are all very good. Three out of four of are players curve the ball they are me, Adam, and Paul. My coach is a pro bowler, he taught me how to curve the ball and im going to tell you. When you curve the ball you try to shke there hand so when you come up you turn your wrist when you throw it down the lane it will curve. I would recomend to go bowling. MY bowling leage is from September to begging of April. I go bowling every saturday in my leage. If u live near avon i would recomend you to go to Westgate lanes in Brokton. Go down there today.

Hello people of  Butler Elementary School.  My article is about swimming.  I know not everyone can swim, but you can learn at The Randolph High School.  You can learn how to swim just normally or as a competitive sport.  There are different styles you can learn.  There is the backstroke when you have to lay back on your back and stroke your arm back while fluttering your legs.  There is also the butterfly stroke.  First you put your head up and flip your arms back.  Then you would stroke your arm forward and duck your head in the water.  And keep doing that until you get to the other end.  Personally the back stroke is my favorite and it is the easiest.  So if you ever want to learn how to swim on the deep side go to the Randolph High School.

How many cheerleaders do we have here? I’m one!  Cheerleading is so much fun and energetic! It is also a great way to excersise and keep in shape. It’s just great to be out there and cheering for the team you believe in! Just remember, you have to have team spirit! Cheerleadeing is a sport that is one to three minutes of a routine. Cheerleaders preform many stunts including tumbling, splits, jumps, pyramids, triangles, flips, and so many other things! Cheerleading is a sport that many schools use to encourage people and encourage the audience to participate. Cheerleaders work hard every day making up  new cheers everyday, cheerleaders usually break up into small groups to do lifting, tumbling, and jumping, then they come together again and make all of the steps work out. Cheer routines include a catchy cheer,  jumping,  lifting, and some dancing!  Cheerleading isn’t  just for cheering on sports. A lot of schools  do cheerleading competitions and compete againt other cheerleading teams. Cheerleading is becoming a sport all around. Starting with try-outs to pick the dedicated cheerleaders out there in the spring and after that they practice and practice and in the summers they have the real things! Cheerleading is a great sport and not just for girls and can be for boys too! Just know that you have to be safe, always and have fun and have a lot of SPIRIT!

In science right now we are doing a unit based on sound and energy.The definition of sound is: utter with vibrating vocal chords,and the definition of sound is: the capacity of a physical system to do work.Sound is created when you vibrate an object,for example is: a tuning fork,it vibrates and makes a weird sound,almost like a bee buzzing.Another example is a drum.When you hit the drum it makes this really big boom it almost sounds like some one stomping very very hard on the ground.The last example that I’m going to give you is a clock.When it reaches 6:00 it makes a bang sound.It almost sounds like some one banging a gong.

I love to cheer lead!It is my favorite sport.I have been doing it for at least two years.The team I’m on is called Raiders. You get to be really flexible and you also learn  how to do all sorts of flips, rolls, jumps and stunts.But you have to be really careful.Because you can always fall,brake something or pull a mussel.But everyone on the team is very careful and focused.So you don’t really need to worry.But other than that I have lots of fun.The most fun thing about cheer leading is the expedition at the end of the year.That is when we go to Franklin, and go into a high school and we do our half time dance. Lot’s and lot’s of other cheerleaders go and do it to.You can’t win but we have to wait a really long time because they call the teams up by ABC order. And our team starts an R for Raiders. That is how cool the Raiders are!!

Do you want to stay healthy?Well nutrition is VERY good for you! I personally think that nutrition is good for you. All of my other friends think that nutrition is good for you. My friends and I think that nutrition is so good for you that we are all healthy. My uncle gave me some really good tips to stay healthy and so did Mrs. Mark too! Some people might not think that Nutrition is good for you. When some people don’t think nutrition is good they get diabetes. Also if you do not eat healthy it could cause heart disease or cancer. If you want to stay healthy always eat healthy things. For example eat  some salad.You should always keep your family and friends healthy.Nutrition can sometimes also keep you alive for longer . Now that is great to be with your friends and family more! Here are some healthy tips to stay healthy your whole life or most of your life. One tip is to have vitamins everyday or every other day. My second tip is to stay active. To stay active run around alot and play a sport. My third tip is to stretch every morning and or every night. My fourth tip is to drink mostly water. My uncle says if you go to bed at 9:00 then stop eating and drinking at 7:00 and if you have to drink something drink only water. In the morning you should drink orange juice not milk. If you have to have a dairy product like milk or cheese only have a very little bit of milk and barely any cheese. So all I am trying to say is just help your family and friends including yourself healthy.

I am going to be talking about my guitar and my cousins drum sets. I found this picture and some information here at wikipedia. The  guitar was my dads but he never use too use it  cause he had no time.He had no time because he works. I Asked him to have it because i had my own guitar but two of the strings  broke. My dad said that he might give it to me if i stop bugging him. I really want to have his guitar because i put  a CD in the CD player and i play along with the music. My mom and dad said that i am good at it. I love guitars they express feelings.

I have been dancing for 8 years now at Dance Workshop and I love it! I think dancing is a great way to express yourself and your feelings. Also, when you are dancing you are having a great time while you are getting exercise. There are many different types of dances that you can do. At Dance Workshop you can take 6 different types of dance, you can do jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, hip-hop, and the zumba. I take jazz, tap, and ballet and and it is very fun!  I take dance class every Wednesday with my friends and usually in may or June we have  recital. I have a great dance teacher, her name is Jennifer Dale but we call her Ms.Jen. Ms. Jen is a great dance teacher and loves helping kids learn their dance steps and help them when they are having some trouble with the steps. When we get to the class, every Wednesday we always work on our routines that we do for our recital. Sometimes we get in a line and work on our dance steps across the floor. Across the floor we do steps like, buffalo’s, shuffles, Irish steps, turns and many more. Every 5 years you will be rewarded with a trophy on stage during the recital. If you want to learn more about Dance Workshop, or would like to maybe look into taking classes there you can go to http://www.danceworkshopma.com

Another reason is because everyone there is so nice and helpful.

  Gary Paulsen is a great book writer. He made one of the greatest saga of all time. At least I think so.  To me it is. Gary was born in May 17, 1939. He had a not so good life, but he held it threw to make the best books I ever read. The most greatest saga I think he ever wrote was the saga of Brian. Hatchet, The river, Brian’s winter, Brian’s return, and Brian’s hunt are all the saga of just that kid. I hope that he keeps creating new books about the wonderful Brian. You never know what will happen to him now. It’s a mystery!

What’s your idea of fun?  Is it video games, boardgames and watching television because that’s the idea of most kids. Through what should be the idea of fun is playing tag, manhunt , sports, dancing and taking a walk around town. Right now this generations idea of fun is what is now causing many kids to have a very unhealthy weight gain. Video games are alright and all that other technology that is available, but don’t abuse it and that is what we are doing. I was never overweight but I was playing video games for nine hours a day straight and that means if I kept doing that I would soon become overweight. But I was a only child and didn’t have friends that could come over nor did I have a dog.  So I started to jog outside and get a ball and bounce it off a wall but that’s if you have no other way of exercise.  So now what is your idea of fun now?
