Noel: Teaching You About Candy

Image
Teaching you about candy!- Noël Did you know that Oreos are good but have lots of stuff that you don't know about! Oreos are a delicious cookie for dessert anytime. But did you know that oreos have Wheat and Soy in them! They are also 140 calories per 2 cookies! They also have Salt,Chocolate,Sugar,Palm/Canola Oil,Leavening, Riboflavin and Unbleached Flour. What even is Riboflavin!!! Hey it's airheads! But Airheads have lots of sugar and obviously aren't good for you! Air heads are amazing and chewy! Did you know that they are made in a place that processes flour! Here are some weird words that are in the ingredients: maltodextrin, hydrogenated, artificial,and manufactured. I think I would rather have Oreos than Air Heads. because I like Air Heads but they are too chewy! Did you know that many people don't even know about how much sugar really affects you! If you have too much that's bad but some people need sugar to stay alive! What would you ra...

Jack: 2016 World Series Prediction

Do you think that the Royals will win the 2016 World Series? By: Jack Vrooman #26       The Royals won the 2015 World Series, but what are the odds of them winning again?  According to ESPN World Series Odds, the Royals have a 1 out of 14 chance of winning the World Series in 2016.  The Royals are favored compared to the Philadelphia Phillies, considering they have a 1 out of 300 chance of winning the World Series.  Another promising team this year is the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Saint Louis Cardinals are not much better than the Royals this year, because their odds are only slightly better.  The Cardinals have a 1 out of 12 chance of winning the 2016 World Series. So what I am guessing this year is that the Royals and Cardinals will face off in the World Series. So I predict the Royals are looking good of winning the world series this year.    

Mackenzie: Weekend in Bloom

  A Weekend in BLOOM         By: Mackenzie #15 On saturday me, my mom, and my sister and baby brother went to the the ART IN BLOOM exhibit at the Art and Archeology Museum. At first we went upstairs and made bouquets out of some flowers that the exhibit had set up for an activity, because most of this exhibit featured paintings of flowers or of paintings that included flowers. Next we went down to the gallery and looked at the sculptures that had been made almost all out of flowers! It was amazing, and very interesting. On Sunday it was the first day of spring, and it was my sister’s 12th birthday, and in a few hours we were going to St. Louis to celebrate my Great Grandfather’s 80th birthday party. It took a long time, and my brother got very crabby, but it was a nice birthday, and even I got some presents. At the end, when we went home, we bought Andie’s ice cream, for my sister’s birthday treat, and she opened a few presents. Over...

Evan M: Animals Around the World

Stuff about random animals around the world.             First, I will clear some things out of the way: I LOVE animals. I may not show it a lot but I do. I also especially love animals that cannot be domesticated or usually aren't. (With the small exception of orcas and dolphins which are the same thing.) I also favor sea life over other kinds of animals, so that's what I will mainly write about since I  probably know more about sea life than all of the rest put together.             I also usually like animals that stick out from the rest of their kind, such as orcas, wood ducks or probascus monkeys. I will divide animals into paragraphs, such as mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and dinosaurs. There will only be one animal in each division. Okay, now that that is all out of the way let's get started!           ...

Here’s a poem I hope you enjoy called The Swing by: Robert Louis Stevenson… “How do you like to go up in a swing up in the air so blue? Oh I do think it is the pleasantest thing ever a child could do. Up in the air and over the wall till I can see so wide. Rivers and trees and cattle and all over the country side. Till I look down from the garden green down on the roof so brown. Up in the air I go flying again. Up in the air and down.” Ok so that's one of my favorite poem’s!! Have a great week!! Bye!      

Nate: Paintball Birthday Party

Image
PaintBall This past weekend I got to go to Jake Downey’s birthday party. We went to this paintball place called Battlecreek. When we got there we all got our guns and masks and they told us the rules and one of them was if you got in a fight then the refs would just shoot you until you stopped. Our first game was one team verse another team and we lost then we did the same thing and we won. And I got hit in the mask but I think that is the best spot to get hit because you don't feel it.Then we went to another place called the high lands and we had to walk a half mile just to get to it. When we started it was bad because there were so many thorns and then you would only get out when you ran out of ammo so I got shoot like 5 times. I could not wait to be done with that round.   Then we went to eat lunch. Jake's mom made us hot dogs and they were so good I had three! I also had some Doritos, fruit punch and oreos. After we finished eating, we went to the good battle...

Will: The Surprising Story of Lorenzo Cain

The Surprising story of Lorenzo Cain When Lorenzo was a freshman in high school he did not make the school basketball team and was really mad.  Basketball was the only sport he had ever known. His mom didn’t let him play football. He wanted to play on some sort of team so he tried out baseball. The baseball team only had eight players so they had to take him. At his first practice he grabbed a glove and they were doing pop flies and he put his glove on the wrong hand and actually caught the ball. Then he took off the glove to throw the ball . He kept messing up on things. His family was poor so he did not have a driver's license or car so he had to ride home with friends. Cain was not happy with his playing time. So he got obsessed and started playing during lunch. He was constantly practicing. His constant practice got good and pretty soon he was crushing the ball. Then he got drafted to Milwaukee. This was the how Cain became the Cain we know today.   ...
