The Ear

In science lately, we have been learning about the ear.  Did you know that there are actually 3 tiny bones in your ear?  Here are all the parts of your ear; the pinna, the inner ear, the auditory canal, the hammer, anvil and stirrup, the cochlea, (I remember that as saying backwards, "Uh, Lee's Coke.) and then the auditory nerve.

Beasts On the Court

Here are two videos of AWESOME basketball players.  Oh, and they are kids.  They will definitely go NBA.  They are absolutely amazing.  Look at this,

See what I mean?  

dB

Today, in science, I learned what the abbreviation, dB means.  It means decibel.  Decibels can be used as a unit for a label of sound.  Just like mi. is for miles, ft. is for feet... Etc.  So if something is 85 dB, then it is really loud, but if it is 20 dB, it is really quiet.  Also, did you know that anything over 85 dB can be deafening?  As in literally.

Pursuasive Essay

In language, we are going to be writing a persuasive essay.  We (kind of obviously) have to persuade someone about something in our essay.  Mine is about longer P/E time.  I chose that because our gym teacher like to talk for about ten minutes to explain everything!  Way too long.  Then we have the five minutes to change in the locker room and another to get into your regular clothes.  So that leaves you with about fifteen minutes of gym time since all our classes are 44 minutes.  So I hope my language teacher sends it to the gym teachers!  (:

Basketball in Gym

Tomorrow, in gym, we will FINALLY be doing some basketball!  I am really excited.  First we have to dribble around and steal flags from someone or something and whoever has the most wins, or I hear we might also be doing some lay ups and shots and stuff.  It will be awesome.  I told Nathan today since he had gym today, (he is my teams point-guard) to remember to bounce e ball up and down and remember to look down when you dribble to make sure you know where it is, and to shoot it with both hands and too travel as much as he can.  (:  I was kidding with him.  Oh yeah, today is April fools!  Ironic, but seriously, we will be doing basketball in gym tomorrow.

Swearing

People at school think that swearing is cool.  In my opinion, swearing makes you look like and ignorant, stupid, idiot who doesn't have parents that teach them not to.  No offense if you are one of those kids, but hey, I am just telling the truth.  Sometimes they just swear with no reason to like,

"I have a lot of &;&&:$>}%}* homework!"  And kids would laugh at that.  Or, "You >~€{*=]€€~€~€|^{# I am hungry!"  That is just plain stupid.

Shorts

Today, Mom surprised me by buying new slicks/basketball shorts!  It was so nice and unexpected.  They are so cool, and represent Faemignton's colors; orange, white and black.  I will wear them all day today and probably Monday too!  (:

Angel's Birthday

It was Angel's birthday.   I am going to play with her a lot today!  (:  She is the cutest little bird ever!  She sometimes doesn't act like her namesake, but I still love her.  I have always loved her!  I was sick the day it was her birthday so I didn't get to play with her, and now, she going to get a TON of attention!  (:

Kung Fu

This summer I am going to be doing some Kug Fu!  It is going to be awesome!  I will finally be able to show Gavin some moves he doesn't know!  (:  Also, it will help with basketball because I will be stronger and stuff.  I can't wait.

Form and Dribbling

This summer, I am going to be working on my basketball form.  Already, from just playing outside lately, I have really good form, as in shooting like Pro's from above the head.  Also, since I WILL make the A-team next year, because of my form, I also need to work on my dribbling.  I can't wait until I can practice outside everyday!  (:
