30 Reese’s blog!!!🤪🥍

I just started to play field hockey again and currently I am playing for Bull City. I like field hockey because you can play it all year around. For example in the summer, spring, and fall I play outdoor which is on grass or turf, and in the winter I play indoor and that’s on a basketball court or a court like that. Indoor is faster than outdoor but in outdoor the field is bigger. In my experience I like Indoor field hockey better than outdoor because its a smaller field. I hope you can come see me play sometime!

For the past couple of weeks in Science class we have been learning about planets and moons. I have been studying Luna earth’s moon and everyone in my class has something different. The end goal we were reaching for is to be able to present in front of the class. The steps to that were first we needed to take notes and really get to know our planet or moon. Secondly we needed to sort and collect photos for our slides. Then we needed to make our slides, and lastly we need to make postcards or speaker notes for when we present.

A couple weekends ago my field hockey club, bull city, went to Virginia Beach for national indoor festival. Since it’s the winter and cold outside we play inside on a court. We had  two games on Saturday and my team won them both. On Sunday we had two games again, we won them both, yay! Monday was the final day and we had the earliest game ever and we Sadly lost. But that’s ok because we still won! We won because we had more wins than the other team. I had so much fun at this tournament! Some other things I did was walk around, hangout with my team, watch other games, and walk on the beach.

This summer has been so fun but also very sad. This summer I moved and I was really sad, but now I am so happy here. My summer started by having an end of the school year party and I had so much fun because all of my close friends were there. My mom and I went to Ohio for my gymnastics nationals. This was a three day event. The first day we were there we had our orientation and the march in. The second day I watched all of my teammates in different levels. And finally on day three I competed! I started on vault I got a 9.250, next was bars, and I fell so I got a 8.350, my third event was beam and I got a 9.125, and lastly on floor I got my best score, 9.9!!! Almost perfect. I got second all around.

Some other things i did in the summer was hang out with friends, go to the beach and pool, and play lacrosse. Along with lacrosse I had about 4 tournaments, before I moved I played for the CT Grizzlies. I also went to two overnight lacrosse camps, one for Northwestern, the other one is called Bitters. I had so much fun at those! This summer I went to three new states! Nevada, Wyoming, Arizona. In Nevada I went to Las Vegas, it was super fun. There I went to a Maroon 5 and Katy Perry concerts. Some other things my family and I did was swim, walk around, shop, take pictures, and went in all of the hotels (they were all soooo cool!). In Arizona we took a helicopter from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, it was so pretty and cool. Last stop was in Wyoming wh

In LA class for the past few months we have been reading a lot of wisdom tales. So for a final project we got to pick one of the stories that we wanted to tell and make into a comic. I chose Paca and The Beetle. The story starts with the beetle going on a journey and then paca comes along and starts to make fun of him because he thinks that he is so slow and wont get anywhere. The parrot in the tree suggests that they should race and the winner of that race gets a brand new beautiful gold coat. They both agreed so the lined up. The parrot said “READY SET GOOOOO!”, so they paca started to run and the beetle slowly walked along. Paca thought that he had a lot of time so he took a nap and the paca did not know that the beetle could fly so the beetle won the race and the beetle got the beautiful new gold coat. The moral of the story is Be Humble, Don’t Brag, and Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Here is my comic and what it looks like.

Thanksgiving became a holiday in 1621, it started as a harvest fest shared between the Wampanoag people and the English colonist known as the pilgrims. Some things I am thankful for are:

1. My family and pets
2. My house
3. Food
4. My friends
5. My school
6. Sports and my teammates
7. Having clothes
8. Having access to health care
9. Being able to go on family vacation
10. Having people to talk to when I need to

One thing I love is Lacrosse. I have been doing lacrosse for about 4 years now and I love it! I started because my mom signed me up for it and I didn’t love it in the beginning but now I do.  I am currently playing for team 91 and hope to be playing for DA one day. I have played all of the positions but I really like midfield because I can go anywhere I want and there is no restraining line for me! I also like it because I get to carry the ball up the field. I like taking the draw. The draw is like in boys lacrosse when they do a face off but in the air, it’s just like the start of the of the game or if there is a goal scored then we take the draw. Something else I like about lacrosse is all of the different tricks you can do and you can never be able to know how to do everything because there is always something else to learn or get better at.

On the weekend of November 4-5 I had a lacrosse tournament in Lake Norman. It was a very successful tournament. My team went 5-0 and winning the whole thing. In some games we even had a shoot out. My mom, my sister, and I got there pretty late the evening before. My first game was at 8 and we got there at 7, it was VERY cold. My body was so numb! But I got warmer through out the day. Our first game was 9-4 us, second game was 14-0 us, and our third game was 18-2 us. After that we headed back to the hotel and my team all came over and we played games and ate dinner together. The next day we played two games the first game was to get into the finals, that game was 17-0 us. WE WERE IN THE FINALS! We were all so hyped up and we won 14-7 us. We won! We went and got our t-shirts and took photos. After we all headed home and got ready for school the next day.

Here are some photos:

I love Halloween! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love the spirit of Halloween and how most people dress up, and I love seeing what everyone’s costume is. These are some of the things I love: 1- going trick or treating 2- watching Halloween movies 3- dressing up 4- getting candy! My top candies are probably nerd clusters, starbursts, twizzlers, and sour patch kids. This year I decided to be a cowgirl! I went trick or treating and I got a lot of candy! Here’s a picture of my costume this year:

Halloween was first became a holiday in 1921. Before trick or treating became a thing Halloween was when people dressed up to scare the ghosts away.

Over the summer the whole 6th grade had to read the book Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick. This book is about a girl named Reesie and her thirteenth birthday was coming up. But she did not know that there would be a Hurricane coming. Reesie lived in New Orleans and Hurricane Katerina (which is a real Hurricane) was heading to there. What will happened?

In Language Arts we had to write a essay about who was the hero in the book. This is my essay:

I think that Ms Martine was the hero of Finding Someplace. I think this because when Reesie came over to Ms.Martines house to pick up her cake for her birthday the storm started to pick up and it was too dangerous to walk back to her house. Ms.Martine let Reesie stay in her house. If Ms.Martine  didn’t let Reesie stay then she would have been stuck in the storm. Ms.Martine also let Eritrea and Dre stay in her house during the storm.

We also had to think about if we were in Reesie’s situation and we made backpacks with everything that we would bring if we had to evacuate our town. So here’s a photo of mine.
