Turkey Time
The Best Sport Ever!
By Walker Davey
By Paul Michaud and Alan Zhang
Wednesday, the 24th of November, is the start of Thanksgiving break. Thanksgiving is a time where people are thankful for all of the things they own. This is also a time where you get to spend time with your family and celebrate with a great turkey dinner. People usually go away to a place that is very special where they can remember about all the different memories they have at that place and usually have a tradition there. For me, I go to a Maine vacation house that I have been going to since I was a baby. A tradition that we do every Thanksgiving is we go over to our house and the whole family plays a football game. After we finish, we go over to my grandmother’s and grandfather’s cottage and have our festive dinner. We usually have my sister and my cousin recite a poem or piece before the dinner. Sometimes I recite, but that is rare. I love Thanksgiving because it is a holiday where you can spend time with your loved ones and have a great time.
The soccer season for all leagues is up and running. Barcelona (Barca) are off to a slow start, drawing a couple of teams, and losing to 2nd division Hercules. This is unusual for such a great team. They snapped that streak by beating their archrivals, Real Madrid. They have been doing well since and won most of their games. They are in the UEFA Champions League and have been doing well. They are a great team to watch because of their passing, and the plays set up by Xavi. Messi is the league’s top scorer, as well as the star of the team. He’s really fast and plays smart soccer. That is why you should watch Barca. You can watch most of their games on the computer, on ESPN3, go to live events, and click on the Barca game. You can also watch replays on ESPN3, click replays, and click on the Barca game. If you are a serious soccer fan (or become one) you can get Fox Soccer Channel, which costs 8 bucks a month. You can watch soccer 24/7 with it.
Wrap it up By Nicholas Schoeller
Are you tired? I bet you are, I know I am. It’s probably because the end of term is this Friday. You will have to get your act together if you want to get the grade you want. If you have been doing badly in something or not doing as well as you desire, try to get better at it. Your teachers want to give you a good grade, but they sometimes can’t. Try as hard as you can and you will probably get a good grade. This is probably the most important week of the whole term because this is when your teachers might change their opinions of you and change an ME to an SS. The fall term is wrapping up and it will soon be Thanksgiving which means there will be a short break to give us kids a break.
