In our language arts class we made a book avout what our ideal world would be. First we worked a little on writing a discription of our world then we stopped that for a bit to work on our actual planet books. When we were done we continued writing our ideal world and made seven solid paragraphs. After we finished our teacher printed it out in the color we wanted and then we cut it out. After that we glued them to our books and then we put them out for our school to see. Here are the pictures!
This blog will be about our sports seasons, Jonah and Teddy play baseball and Callan plays soccer. Jonah is, on the top of the league that he’s in with me, will also be talking about his travel ball team which are the 12u Riptide.
Callan: As you might have heard above I play soccer. I play soccer for a league called Triangle United (logo shown below). I was on the MLS Next two/ NAL / Gold team. My soccer season is from the start of fall to the end of spring. In the fall season we started off by playing a tournament. In that tournament we were playing U14 kids (I’m U13) and we won. Then we started off the season pretty slow. We were losing and tying most games. But soon we figured each other out and we started whining a lot more to end the fall season. We ended up 3rd in one of our leagues and 4th in the other. Then came spring and we started to fall off and either lose or tie most games. We ended up 7th in one league and 3rd in the other. Although we had a rough spring, overall I had a lot of fun with my team and we made lots of memories together. If I were to rank my season from 1-10 I would say and 8.

Teddy: As you heard I play baseball in a league with Jonah. The league he and I play in is called South Durham Little League or SDLL.

Currently on my team I’m batting 8th which is an improvement because I used to be batting 10th or 11th. You might be thinking that batting 8th is kinda bad but my team is absolutely goated so we just have a lot of good hitters in front of me. We just went into the playoffs and we won in the first round against the Rays which had my best friend Matthew on it and another friend Diego. Our next game is tomorrow against the Giants which has another friend named Walker on it. Hopefully we beat them and move on to the next round where I think we would either be playing the Orioles which has Jonah and Finn who’s another friend, or the Braves which has one of my neighbors on it. Wish me luck!
Jonah: As you might have heard above I play baseball. I play baseball for a team called Riptide. Our team is division 1 which is the best division. We have recently played a lot of competitive teams including one team that had the number one 12yr old kid in the country and seven players from the number 4 team in the country. I also play in a league with Teddy, and I recently made the all star team. Below is a picture of my travel ball team.
My Riptide team is currently ranked 14th in the state however we used to be ranked better but our season ended. Thank you.
For this I worked with Callan and Teddy my usual partners.
Hi. This is my post on a place called Shipyard Park. So this place called Shipyard is located in South Carolina. So my teammates and I traveled to SC and stayed at a Home 2 Hotel with the rest of my team. Then my team, Riptide, played our first game on Friday against a team called USA Prime who is ranked #7 IN NORTH CAROLINA… and we tied them 9-9. but here’s the thing, at the bottom of the 6th inning (the last inning for my age group) and we were down 9-2, after some good at bats there were two men on base, the score was 6-9 we were still losing but our fourth batter was hitting. And the pitcher gives my teammate a hanging curveball that drops right down the middle and my teammate drills the ball about 250 ft to tie the game at 9-9 and then the game ends.
After we had played a couple more hard fought games we made it to the championship and then. We played USA PRIME again only to get beat. However this was a memorable experience for us even though we only got runner up.
In conclusion Shipyard was a very good team bonding experience and was very fun. Thank you for your attention.
Hey, this is our presentation on Adam Gidwitz’s visit to our school. First let’s start with talking about who this amazing author is. Adam GIdwitz is an accomplished author and writer of A Tale Dark and Grimm series, he also just released a new book called Max in the House of Spies which he gave us a quick overview of. He has received a Newbery Honor for his other book called The Inquisitor’s Tale.
At our school Adam Gidwitz also talked about how he never envisioned himself as an author although all his life he had a big imagination. With that he told us to be open minded and never think that just because you want to grow up to be one thing sometimes you may have talents that better suit something else. He told us stories about his early childhood and he talked about how his book Max in the House of Spies was based on a family friend.
And here are the photos of the presentation:
As usual I worked with Callan Durack
Here is my experience of a tree planting trip I did with my school called Keep Durham Beautiful. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.
In the second photo we planted Sycamore trees, Poplars and Red Seeder. We also watched a documentary that talked about listening to the trees and how water flows through the trees. It also talked about how protecting trees is very beneficial to us humans directly and over time. Overall this field trip was very educational and gave me a great feeling that I helped something good.
This post is all about homework!
In my opinion homework being good or bad depepends on how much is given, how much time you have to complete the homework, how difficult it is, and how much is given.
How much homework? For me the perfect balance is a quick easy-medium review with maybe one or two hard questions sprinkled in. This is good for most kids and teachers. 1 for the kids it is a good to see if they understand the topic that was learned in class and 2 for the teacher to see if the kid was paying attention in class or if they need help with a subject.
How much time to complete the homework? How much is given? How difficult is it? 1 if the teacher gives 2 papers full of math questions and it’s not a quiz or test you missed, than in my opinion that’s just cruel. I mean especially if the problems are difficult sometimes kids get really mad and that’s just taking away their confidence.
Thanks for the time. If you disagree with me than you can comment below what you think about homework. (:
Basketball
This blog is written by Jonah, Teddy and Callan. We will be talking about our basketball season. We are all on the same team with some of our other school friends and some other random people. Our coach is our friend Matthew’s dad. By the way Matthew is on our team too. So far our record is 0-11. Listen, our team’s average height is 4 foot 10, and we play against teams that are twice the height of some of our players. We have one more game coming up and hopefully we can win that, because it is our last game. Despite our frightening streak of games it has been a fun and great season with all of us improving a lot in skill, technique, and IQ of the game.
Hi, I’m Jonah and my strength in basketball is defense, ball handling, and fast breaks.
Hi I am Callan and my strength is rebounding and hustling. I am also pretty good at defense.
Hi I’m Teddy and I’m good at playing defense, shooting, and stealing.
Thank you for reading our blog!

This blog is about one of my favorite classes, History!!
So in History I recently made my first teacher instructed slide that was solely about how to create a Google Slide presentation. but in history we’re also learning about Ancient Egypt so our history teacher decided to incorporated the history part into our presentation. Here it is.

In my class we have been working on comics of a book called Wisdom Tales.
Front this collection I chose a story called Giving the Moon. I chose this story because I thought it had a great moral. The moral was to bring goodness into the world. Stealing is wrong and having compassion for everyone even those who do wrong. Here is the comic. Hope you enjoy!!!
Teddy and I did some video game tier lists on Tiermaker and wanted to share them with you. We put games we didn’t know in D tier or the lowest tier.
Jonah: (all the games I don’t know are in D Tier)
