Coyotes Basketball!

       Coyotes Basketball!




I went to a very amusing Girls Coyotes basketball game, and it was on sunday for a spot to the state championship. Sadly, our very own Coyotes lost to the Santa Barbara Dons, 71 to 56 Dons ;-(.  The Coyotes are our local Girls Basketball team. We also have a boys, but there season ended. There overall was 12-12. Their team colors are black and white.




Here is the Coyotes gym. One of our Coyotes is taking a free throw. If you notice, all the players are trying to box out to get the ball for their team.







Here's a picture of the Coyotes scoreboard. If you have good eye sight, it reads 56-33 Coyotes.






Here's a picture of the Dons taking a free throw. Again, the players are boxing out, and they are trying to get the ball for their team.

Happy Presidents Day!

Happy Presidents Day!


Happy Presidents Day! I hope you had a wonderful Presidents Day! We had a lot of grand presidents, but there were two that really stood out. One was our 1st president, George Washington, and the other one was our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. They were both sensational presidents, and we remember them as leaders. I am going to write a story of fiction (fantasy) about these two significant presidents.

One day, on February 22, 1732, a young boy named George Washington was born. As he was growing up, he wanted to paint pantings for wealthy people and also sell apples. When he was growing up, he encountered many problems. One, he got fired from his job as a painter.  Instead of painting a women with her dog, he drew a women with a pig in the picture as a joke. He also got fired from selling apples, because he was overcharging people.  Instead selling apples for 5 cents, he sold them for 25 cents.  He made a dollar, but he was ordered to give the money back to all the people who bought apples.  When he was given they addresses of the people who bought apples, he noticed a familiar address. Why, it was the address of his high school friend, Abraham Lincoln. He was a jolly fellow, and he was a dear friend of George.  A few years later, George wanted to be President because he wanted to make a law that all bosses in all companies have to sign a contract stating "All employees have to serve at least five months before you consider firing them."  George was elected, and his law passed!  That law helped Abe very much because he was struggling with his new job.  This law allowed him to make money for 5 more months! Three cheers for George's law! 




*The End*
