No Loud Music!

In Colorado, a lot of people were complaining about noise violations. The music kids played was loud and they did not like that type of music at all. A judge decided that he would take all of those kids and make them listen to loud music they did not like at all. The judge played Barney and other types of music they did not like. The kids had to listen to the music for an hour to teach them a lesson. I couldn't believe it, he used such a creative way of punishing them and found a solution. He also made sure that they knew how other people felt when they put on their loud music that other people didn't like.

Shrimp on a Treadmill(:

Scientists put shrimp on a treadmill? Well, it's true, scientists put shrimp on a treadmill to learn about marine animal's immune system. The studies showed that healthy shrimp ran a lot faster than sick shrimp. The healthy shrimp ran at an average speed of 20 meters per minute. Sick shrimp would didn't do as well as the healthy shrimp. The sick shrimp would lack in doing a lot of things like finding food, migrating, and even avoid being eaten. I think this experiment is really cool. Marine animals are my favorite and I think it would be cool to learn more about them. (:

Sonic Boom

Yesterday, a space shuttle landed in California. It was pretty scary because I was outside and I didn't know what it was. But then I found out it was a Sonic Boom. The space shuttle was supposed to land in Florida but it didn't because of bad weather. The space shuttle was going 235 mph and caused two sonic booms as it broke the sound barrier.

Thanksgiving(:

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I am sure everyone is excited because you get to eat a lot. I sure am. This year I am going to help my mom cook. I can't wait to taste the turkey. This year is going by pretty fast and holidays are coming up too. Thanksgiving is a special day to be grateful and thankful for what you have. I hope everyone has a special Thanksgiving this year. (:

Turkey Bowl Cancelled):

The 8th grade turkey bowl at Frost Middle School has been cancelled due to weather. It has also been cancelled because it is too wet to play football. Many eight graders are upset. If the administration moves the turkey bowl to next week, it won't be a turkey bowl it will be a holiday bowl. I think this really sucks because it is a turkey bowl not a holiday bowl and it takes a little bit of the fun out.

Holiday for Peace Tournament(:

On Saturday at Sylmar Park, there was a softball tournament. Many different teams from different places were there. I play for SIBL. My team played four games. It was tiring, but worth it because we won 1st place and the championship. I had an awesome time. The two teams that made it to the championship were Sylmar Park and SIBL. We were at the park from about 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The championship game was a nail-biter. My team and the other team kept tieing. We were tied, we were down, and we were up many times. It was a really awesome game.

Dogs in war

Dogs actually go to war. Can you believe that? I think that's awesome. Dogs are a men's best friend, a pet, and play a special part in war. There has even been a veterinarian hospital for them when they get hurt. The veterinarian hospital has underwater treadmills to help the dogs recover. I think this really is cool and I think that the veterinarian hospital is great because they deserve it if they're helping.
