Baseball Practice

I have baseball practice tonight at 7:30-9:00. We have it at the Herculaneum Batting Cages. Our team is mostly from Festus. Some got to Hillsboro, and one goes to North County. Brennan is also on my baseball team. Oh and Logan Byerly is too. I play 1st base, 3rd base, and I pitch. We had our first practice 2 weeks ago and we are getting better. Also a lot of the kids on my team were on the Festus Basketball team for the 7th Grade.

The Memory I Want To Bottle Up

The moment I want to bottle up is when my family Went to Wisconsin Dells last year. It was a good and fun week. We had some other friends go there too. We had friends that had moved to Mississippi go there too. We went in the winter so it was snowing and we went to like 5 different water parks and we went tubing, and snowboarding. It was a really fun time. We stayed until New Years and left on January 1st of 2012. That was a year ago and it was an amazing time and experience.

The Start of Baseball Season

The basketball season has came to an end. But baseball season is just around the corner. We have a team that's mostly from Festus. We are called the Festus Tigers. We only have had one practice, but we have another one tonight at 7:30, and another one on Sunday at 4. I am glad to start baseball but wish there is more basketball left because it is my favorite sport to play. We have our first tournament in the end of March. But that's early for baseball because it is still cold outside. We play up in St.Louis mostly, but we play in a few tournaments in Mississippi, and maybe one in Tennessee. I am not happy that basketball is over though.

School on Veterans Day

I think it is just as important to learn on Martin Luther King Jr. day than Veterans day. The school district should have a half day for both days. But King has led the nation to let both colored and white people go to the same school, restaurants, public places, restrooms, etc. But also on Veterans day you should learn and hear speeches from the people who have fought in wars. It should be equally the same for learning about both days and what people have done with this nation. If I was on the board of the school district I would make both of those days half days. So maybe next year we can have both Martin Luther King Jr. day and Veterans day both half days next year.Or you could just have both those days off since we have Christmas, Thanksgiving breaks maybe we could have both those days off too.

Dear Mrs. DeBolt:

Hi my name is Cole Martin. I'm a 7th grader at Festus Middle School. I'm on the basketball team and we have a game tonight. We play against Grandview they are pretty good so it will be a tough and hard fought game. Tonight they are playing in OUR house!! So the outcome of the game should be us winning. Also I'm a little nervous because we haven't had this big of around since our 1st game!

I'm liking you as a teacher. Because you are easy going and very nice. I know some teachers that would not allow us to talk or get this loud at all. I know you have had Devon 2nd quarter he's super funny and easy going but when it comes to class time I feel like that he doesn't work as hard as he would out of school ( no offense to him ). Although I really like you as a teacher you are definitely one of my favorite teacher! Along with Mrs. Walker, Mrs.Davis , and Mrs.Uding.

I am really liking Technology this year. I didn't get to do Computers last year because I was in Band. But I like Technology more than Band. My favorite thing about this class so far is the typing lesson's and the typing tests. Although the blog is okay, it's not better than the other two. Well that's it.

Sincerely,

Cole Martin

Creative Prompt

Once upon a time, there was train tracks that have never been ridden on. It has been lonely for 5 years. But his only wish is someday he could be ridden on. Although he hasn't been ridden on, he was just feeling that the next day a train could come through his tracks. On the next day it was the last day of fall, but he didn't see a train until night. He saw a big light, it could of been a flashlight, but he didn't think it was until this one teenage boy walked over the tracks with a flashlight. He didn't know what the teenage boy was doing. But the he walked off into the nearby neighborhood. The next day was the first day of winter! But then that night it started to snow. And the next day a train was carrying coal and logs to the nearby neighborhood and it passed his tracks. The End.

Basketball Game

Tonight we have a basketball game vs. Grandview. It's at home, so it's at Festus! We have had a few tough games like Jackson and Hillsboro, but that's not an excuse. I have been healthy all season and that is good because our team had like 5 people sick for 3 straight games and that was tough without our whole teambut we hopefully will get back on our streak tonight and be ready for the rematch against Sunrise which is also at home! We lost to them the first time and asked for a rematch when our whole team is healthy. So he accepted it and we are playing them again. Our first time we had our whole team practice since Christmas break was last week! So hopefully we are ready for our last 5 games.
