Baseball

Baseball season is getting ready to start. I'm really excited. I pitch and play shortstop. I can play anwhere except catcher. But, I start at shortstop. I bat 3rd in the lineup. Usually, if you bat 3rd your a good hitter. I don't like to brag on myself, but i'm our teams best hitter. In the 6 years i've played baseball, I made the allstar team every year. I have 2 leauge M.V.P awards. which mean most valuable payer in that season. In our league, we give out alot of awards. The most i've won in a season is 3, which was the M.V.P, Outstanding performance award, and the Little league defensive player of the year.

The Memory I Would Want To Bottle Up

If there was a memory I could bottle up, I would bottle up the time that I got my first dog because it was really special to me. My first dog was an English Bulldog. His name was Butter. He always was running upstairs,downstairs, then in the main floor of my house. He liked to chew up stuff. One day i got home from school and all the couch pillows were chewed up. There was fuzz everywhere. Then, he became a daddy with an American bulldog and we had about 9 dogs total.

School

School.... Its fun at times. Others, its not so fun.. My favirote hour is 5th because I have gym. My least favirote hour is probably 3rd because I have math. I like math, but im not very good at it. I love gym because its exercise. The only thing I dont like about gym is that sometimes we do stupid games. 5th hour is weird because some people have lunch, then some people have a class. Then it switches. Who ever just had lunch now has a class, and whoever just had a class now has lunch. I have D lunch. Which is last. I dont like D lunch because im always hungry. Even when i eat breakfast, im usually even hungrier during the day. Its weird.

Veterans Day

I think we should have veterans day off because we have already learned about it. Our school lets us off on Martin Luther King Jr day. I agree with that descion because we know about his legacy and we shouldn't be forced to go to school on a national holiday. Therefore, I think that we should get Veterans Day off.

Manti Te'o Incident

Manti Te'o was lying about the death of his girlfriend Lennay Kekua. Te'o was also lying about the exsistence of his lover. Sports illastrauted reported that Manti Te'o before the Michigan State game that he started to break down and cry. This game was also very difficult for Te'o because his grandmother actually did die 24 hours before the game. Norte Dame went on winning the game. The Norte Dame Fighting Irish went on to the BCS Championship later that season, only to loose to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

I am a very sporty guy. I play baseball, basketball, football, and I used to play hockey. I just moved to Festus this year. There are alot of nice kids here. Then there is others. I cant believe that it is already 3rd quarter. Time has flew by. My favirote food is chicken. I am 13 years old. My dad lives in Oakville, Missouri. My mom lives in Herculaneum, Missouri. I am enjoying your class.

I havent had much experience with computers. But, im always on my phone. I have a computer at my house but i dont really get on it. There is a bunch of neat stuff about computers that i've learned so far I really like the copy and paste. Its really interesting. I know i am going to learn more in your class. I hope we have a good quarter.

Sincerely,

Every Photo Tells A Story

In photo number one, a family looks like they are saying a blessing. It looks like its a special day because everyone is dressed up. I think that it is Thanksgiving or Christmas. Their are nine people in the photograph. It looks like their are four adults and five children. the food is wrapped up in metal tops and bowls. It looks fancy. There is a window in the backround. Every spot is set nice and neatley. There are forks, spoons, knives, and napkins at every seat. i can't really tell whats in the middle, but it looks like flowers.

Basketball

My name is Daniel Portell. I am in 7th grade. I have played basketball for 7 years. It is my favirote sport. We have a game tonight versus Grandview. I hope we win. I play every position, but mostley wing. I like wing because its a perimeter area and i can shoot well, if i dont shoot i can drive to the basket and draw the foul or kick it back out and let someone else shoot. My team this year is pretty good. We have players that can pretty much play anywhere. We are not that tall, but we are really fast. Our tallest person is Brennan Pryor. I am the 3rd tallest. i love when we destroy teams by like 40 like we did against the Herculaneum Blackcats.
