A Disappointing Cabin Stay It was a warm summer day in mid July. A family was at a cabin in Montello, WI. It was their second day staying there, and all of them were enjoying the trip. One of the kids said “we were there with our grandparents, and our used to be cousins!” their family had planned out every day. “Mosquitos had been a big problem at our cabin, even on the first day” said the father. The family had been enjoying their trip very much, but one main issue they had were the mosquitos. “It was mid july and the mosquitos were horrible! They attacked us like crazy!” said the mother of the family.
Annoying Insects! One day, one of the kids went outside. The kid got attacked by mosquitos; they devoured her blood. The kid said how they got around 20 bites from the annoying bugs. The family stated how they couldn't do most of the activities they planned to do outside their cabin. “Our cabin was not very close to the water but you could see it from our cabin.” said one of the grandparents. The family didn't go outside their cabin most of the days; the huge bug issue was intense. And so most of the time they went out to the city to have fun.
Facts and Tips About Mosquitos Mosquitoes can be a huge problem in the US. Around 725,000 people die each year from mosquitoes. Most of the time you can avoid getting bit from them if you are wearing protectant spray. Some sprays don't work well so, another thing you can do is get a mosquito trap. A mosquito trap works well and what is does is, whenever a mosquito or any bug goes inside they get zapped; mosquitos then die in a second. The light can attract them. There is nothing good about mosquitoes as they are a very dangerous insect that people die from. Although you can't fully avoid mosquitos you can prevent yourself from getting bit.
Where Mosquitoes are Most Active If you live near a marsh, lake, or pond expect a lot of them; areas with water have a lot of mosquitoes. Mosquitos lay eggs near water and they can hatch millions of eggs. Soon enough those mosquitos will become adults; they can harm you. Some mosquitos only like certain blood types so sometimes more people get bit than others. The mother from the family reportedly said “Even though mosquitos bothered us most of the time, we found out how to still enjoy our trip!”.The family had enjoyed their trip despite the harmful insects attacking them 99% of the time. This just shows how even though there can be disappointments on your trip you can still find a way to have a good time.
October 2024 He went to drive the car, he was going to walmart to get donuts because they needed breakfast. He was pulling up to a red light and was putting on the brakes he then saw a mouse run under the passenger seat. and never saw it again they then went to walmart and got donuts, and glue boards to catch the mouse. Although the mce probably was looking to live in the camaro, it could've just ended up there because the windows were down, and he could’ve just been walking and fell into the car. Stay Away Mice Some of the ways you can use to keep mice out is keep the car clean, keep away any foliage, and seal any openings for the mice to come in from. Because mice like to go into places where it is warm; comfortable, and where there is lots of bedding for them to use. that's why they mostly go into cars and houses because they are just looking for a place to stay. Although they can be pests by spreading and tearing things up and by leaving leftover food.
The Importance of Our Trees In the world that we live in, always have appreciation for those things that you think do nothing. Such as trees. Trees are one of our key producers of oxygen. Cutting down trees limits oxygen way more. The removal of trees increases the amount of stormwater runoff as well. Stormwater runoff increases pollution and erosion in our own waterways. Trees also give animals a home, as well as food. Always be aware of how bad cutting down trees is. When trees are cut down this affects citizens views too.
A Sad SIght to See. This family was victim to see the removal of something so important. It seemed as if it was a normal day, everything happening as it should. But for the local family this was a devastating sight for them. As they are walking around their house they see every pretty tree they normally do, but when they look outside the back window they notice the beautiful dark evergreens getting chopped down. As parents of the family stated, “It was such a shocking sight, it was nothing we’d never seen before.” The family adored the evergreens very much. But this was out of their control as they were not apart of their property. The parents also stated, “Seeing something you love crumble down that easily is just a sad sight to see.”
Always Keep it in Your Mind. Unless if a tree is causing major issues like property damage, always think twice about cutting down trees. From the protection of issues that they do, to giving us the things we need to live. Always give a thought about the others that surround you as well.

Halloween Blues Some leftover candy was found at a grumpy old man's house; he says that the candy was from a 7 year old boy who was dressed as Elmo from “Sesame Street.” He says that he will find the boy and return his candy the night after but doesn’t recognize any physical features of the boy.
Leave No Kid Behind Kids have been dropping candy because they have been running too fast to drop some out of their bucket. Make sure that your child stays with you at all times during Halloween and walks. Especially during the cold, crispy night. They could even get lost if they’re not careful!
Candy Counting Make sure you keep count of your child candy. You would need to make sure your child knows too because they’re trying to get as much candy as possible on Halloween. It’s also important not to miscount because that could ruin the whole system and end up getting the wrong candy amount.

He came inside the boy’s house and talked with him and his mom. And the happy old man said that they can come over to his house anytime. So be sure you and your kid use these tips and the story to stay safe on Halloween.
When the junior bridesmaid and the flower girl were walking down the aisle, the flower girls diaper falls off! (The flower girl is only 1 year old so she isn't potty trained yet.) The mother of the junior bridesmaid runs into the aisle to put on the flower-girls diaper. While the mom is putting it back on, the junior bridesmaid is throwing flowers up in the air. She is trying to distract the crowd from the mishap. While all of this is happening, the camera lady for the wedding is taking pictures of everything. But what people didn’t notice is the mother of the bride is in the front sulking, clearly mad about her diaper falling off. Once the mom is done fixing the diaper she runs back and sits down. The junior bridesmaid had run out of flowers now, so she has to carry the flower girl to the end of the aisle. After everyone was seated, the bride and her father can come down.
Once the bride has walked down the aisle, the pastor began the wedding. When it came time for vows, the bride realized she forgot her vows. So, the mother of the bride had to run back to the barn; holding up the whole wedding. After they were officially married, the mother of the junior bridesmaid said “I think it was karma for not appreciating the funny moment when her diaper fell off.” They don’t know why her diaper fell off, but it may be because the flower girls dress was too fluffy. Or the adhesive on the diaper wasn’t strong to hold the diaper together. Or she somehow pulled it off.
According to Forbes the best diaper for movement would be huggies little movers and huggies little snugglers. Which the flower girl in that moment was not wearing which might mean that's why it fell off. It says on quote “After extensively testing nearly two dozen brands of top-rated diapers, we found several clear winners. The Huggies little snugglers and huggies little movers were simply the best diapers overall, as they consistently proved the most reliable at preventing leaks while fitting kids of all sizes the best.” Meaning that if she had worn that diaper, it probably would not have fallen off at the wedding, even though it was still a funny moment to look back on in the future.

Dogs missing At night when a family was celebrating the 4th of July, two dogs were tied outside on leashes, while the reporter was with cousins getting food, the dogs got off of their leash and ran away. When the family noticed the dogs were off the leash they looked for them after the fireworks and found one but the other did not show. It wasn't until the following morning the next dog was given to the family and 7 AM by a stranger who supposedly just opened the door and dropped him off. One family member had mentioned something about the dogs escaping the yard, but nobody else had agreed.

If your animal can jump, you can add some length to your fence or bend the top of the fence inward so they can't jump out. You can also get an invisible fence, but you should add a rubber piece to put over the prongs and loosen the collar so it doesn't hurt the animal and just feels like an extreme vibration. There are over 15 ways of keeping your dog inside the yard, but these are most popular.

Tis the season! Or is it? Its now that time of year where controversy is stirring about weather it is appropirate to put up christmas decorations before thanksgiving or after.
According to Architechtual Digest Magizines, 54% of Americans put up their Christmas trees in Novmeber before thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Balsam Hill suggests that it is most appropriate to put up all christmas decorations the weekend after thanksgiving.
But what does the public think about this? Evidence from Veranda states that more people put their decorations up after thanksgiving than before. Although you may feel betrayed by this study, this is the truth. A family from Wisonsin strongly states, , “ I believe that it is wrong to decorate before thanksgiving! It is its own holiday too, and it needs more recognition!” Many other families and people agree with them on this topic, While only about half of the people that agree disagree.
Despite people decorating super early, it is proven that you should be decorating after thanksgiving. Maybe its the bright colors, or the festivity that this holiday brings people, but something about it is just so tempting to put our decorations up at the wrong time.
The Archer Incident At a archery practice for new archers that are just beginning their first year on the team only and a few other 4th year archers including myself was there to help out new archers and the coaches because the coaches can’t help every new archer there. When one of the other 4th year helper archers was helping another new archer she had noticed that the top of the string of that archer’s bow had started unraveling which means the string is dead and needs to be replaced before it gets worse and snaps.
When she had noticed that she had directed that archer to let down the bow before releasing so that it wouldn’t snap while being drawn back. She took the bow out of the archer’s hands quickly as the archer was completely inexperienced with shooting bows and got a coaches attention because she had never dealt with a situation like this either except for the fact that she knew to have the archer not continue with pulling back the bow and to take the bow away and get a coaches attention before the situation worsens. Luckily due to her quick actions no archer was harmed in this situation and we were able to pull that bow off the bow racks before any archer uses that bow until the string is replaced and the bow is inspected before being put back into usage for any archers.
Those other 4th year archers that were there helping were startled when that other 4th year archer that was put in that situation got our attention and we had no idea on what to do as we had never been put in that position before even with how long we’ve been on the team but we knew we had to act with fast thinking because if that archer continued pulling back the bow it could’ve caused harm to one or multiple archers and equipment. As of result of the archer using that bow and pulling back the string was already unraveling a large amount but that made the string even worse than the condition it was already in which made it harder to repair.

How do classics teach us?
Classics also allow us to better understand what life was like back then for different people. Most classics are original tales or biographies about a person or an event happening in real life time. Classics like Jane Eyre is about “the inner struggles of a woman caused by social norms”, according to Bucket List Journey. Books like these can help us deepen our understanding of what life was like for people back then.

It was March 27th, 2024 and he just got off the bus and walked inside. It was a normal day until he noticed a weird sadness from his dad. He asked him what is wrong and he looked at are dog. He instantly thought and said “please not the vet”. My dad and the kid both broke down and he said “she's suffering and gonna die dude”. He went up to his dog and cuddled her. His sister came upstairs and seen his eyes were red and it looked like he was crying. His dad called his sisters in the room and said we need to talk. He said “I’m taking Mo to the vet tomorrow and shes not going to come home”. Both of his sisters and him start crying and go to Mo. He told his dad I wanted to be there when it happened so, he will pick you up at one o'clock tomorrow from school. So, he went to his moms that night and went to school the next day. So, the next day March 28th, 2024. The vet gives the euthanaisa the vet came in with a weird shot thing. The vet provides the euthanaisa and injects it into the dog. So his dad picked him and his sisters we went to Mcdonalds and got Mo a pup cup for her last meal. We got to the vet and he took pictures with her. His dad took her inside to the vet room. It took awhile for them to be able to go into the room to see her one last time. He went into to the room crying and said goodbye and he loved her. Then he left the room and they put her to sleep. We left the Portage Veterinary Clinic without Mo. For the first time in 12 years he didn’t have Mo. How the vet feels for the family The vet feels incredibly sorrow and sad for the family. The vet and the family should recognize that it's best for the animal. Vets do get sad when putting a pet down but they learn to cope with sadness in a happy way. Veterinarian Karen Meyers tells her patients that all pets go to heaven; comforting her patients.
Madison Marathon causes Traffic Jam On November 10th 2024 many people took part in the 30th annual Madison marathon. This caused a crazy amount of traffic, and excitement.
It was a very exciting day for people like Patrick Campbell. He was the winner of the men's marathon with a time of 2 hours and 20 minutes. Along with Caitlin Kowalke the female winner with a time of 2 hours and 44 minutes.The full and half marathon runners started at 7:00, while the 10k runners started at 7:15. The slowest time recorded for the full marathon was 6 hours and 41 minutes. This means that people were running and causing traffic from 7:00 till 1:41.
With all the detours set up to keep the runners safe many cars got stuck in traffic jams. Traffic jams are very inconvenient but they also cause a lot of problems. Traffic jams increase stress and frustration, waste lots of fuel, and increase air pollution. Many drivers are tempted to pull out their phones when they drive, especially when they are stuck in a traffic jam. To stay safe we need to stop this with all the sudden brakes in traffic jams being on your phone is one of the most dangerous things to do. Every second that you spend on your phone is a second less that you have to react to the brake lights in front of you.
In conclusion if you are planning on taking a trip to Madison while a marathon is taking place, expect it to be busy and, plan on leaving early. But also remember that no matter how frustrated you get keep your phone and other distractions out of sight.
Car Crash on the Interstate Going North Car crash happened on the interstate on a Saturday afternoon. A car reared under ended a trailer which cause the car to get smushed. Lucky the people in the car were rushed to the hospital, and they made it in time before it was late.
Car Crashes In Wisconsin In 2022 there were 128,830 all in total in the state of Wisconsin. Half of those were because of drunk driving.
The small town of Endeavor, Wisconsin, held its trick-or-treating from 5 to 8 p.m. on October 31st. In the past three years of trick-or-treating in Endeavor, the number of children has drastically decreased. The average person spends $31.93 on Halloween candy a year. If one person spends $30 on candy when only a few trick-or-treaters come, they end up handing out handfuls of candy to each trick-or-treater.
Reasons that may be Behind why Trick or Treaters are Decreasing
Trick-or-treating is an activity that many people say is for little kids. Since Endeavor is such a small town it may be possible that all of the kids have grown out of it. Trick or treating is also a family thing, but as you get older kids tend to want to trick or treat with their friends who may not live in their small town. Therefore, they might go to a different town.
Facts about Halloween in the United States
The United States is the most festive country when it comes to Halloween. In 2024, Americans spent $3.8 billion on costumes, $3.5 billion on candy, and $3.8 billion on decorations. This year, the most popular Halloween candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and M&Ms, and the most popular costume in the United States this year is Shrunken Head Bob from the movie, Beetlejuice.
Fun at Devils lake
ReplyDeleteOne day me and my family went to devils lake. We had gone for a family fun day, the day was from about 9:00 am to 2:30pm. Our family had spent the day hiking, playing games, duck boats, eating lunch, and having fun. But some kids that we saw that were on there school trip were being unsafe, I had saw a kid in a group that was running up and down steep hills or steps and going to the edges of cliffs. Devils lake is a very fun place but it has a lot of dangers. When hiking you have to be very careful. There could be any wildlife or you could trip and fall. There could be unsafe environments and people you don't know that are not being safe around you. There was a couple that was hiking with us the whole time it was kinda weird and we almost got lost a couple times. Hazards of devils lake
The devilslakewisocon.com says that the most hazards about devils lake are. Slips, trips, and falls this can be a main hazard for hiking in the trails at devils lake. Another one for anything at devils lake is overexertion. This could mean your just not physically prepared. Medical issues are also a big issue, if you have a issue and you need medical supplies you have to make sure you have them to help you. Intoxication can be a problem and drug related problems could happen if you bring something or you accidentally eat something it can cause a lot of problems. Don't forget about swimming when swimming you can drown or get injuries. If your swimming alone make sure you know your way back or how to swim, just in case of emergencies. When you hiking or swimming or just walking around Devils lake make sure you know where you are you don't want to get lost or stranded and not know where you are and if you're lost and the weather's not good or too hot you can get really hurt or if its a certain time of the day make sure you have a map or know what your doing.
If you run into problems look for
help
If any of these things happen make sure you check your surroundings, and make sure to try and find a way back or out of the situation. If you don't have a way to get back or get connection to where you need to go if you can remember try going back and looking for the way back. If you can't find help or find your way back find a safe place to sit and wait. Until the help finds you and it won't be long until they do find you. If you are completely stranded try finding a phone that has signal or anything to help you get back to where you were if you slip and fall if someone is by you have them help you if your alone try crawling to a safer place if you are by a cliff and get up then. When you are looking for that help make sure you are watching your surrounding your careful.
Mice need a home
ReplyDeleteWatch out for mice getting in your car. There has been an increase in mice this year. Mice will even be bold and climb into your car through the engine. A couple of mice got into a car and used shredded tissues as a home. Mice will chew up your sandwich that you set down for one second. Mice are strong animals they will chew through anything. Some mice will chew through your Christmas boxes that are on a high-up shelf. Some mice are fearless and touch your foot while you are driving. If you have a cat that would be the best choice to grab her and make her hunt down the mice. If you own a dog they could also be a help but they will be confused.
Mice populations
Mice populations went up this year in Wisconsin last winter wasn't as cold allowing the mice population to go up and mice to look for homes. Predators that hunt mice haven't been doing their job. If there is construction nearby, the predators get scared. In the state of Oregon, there has been a 20% increase in mice in the last three years. Climate change is a part of why mice populations going up. Human activities also make mice move out of their old habitat and move into a new place.
Ways to keep mice away
There is a way to keep mice away there is certain scents and items such as cinnamon, vinegar, clove oil, peppermint, tea bags, bleach, mothballs, ammonia, and cayenne pepper. These items contain powerful smells that mice can not stand which can work as good repellants. Setting down mouse traps is the best choice. Peanut butter on the traps will make the mice come out of hiding. Beware of mice and set up mouse traps to get them out of your car or anywhere.
I like the way you described it and how to prevent mice in your house

During a event off moving scrap metal out of the forest on this summer's evening. 2 boys in between the age of 13 and 14 were making an attempt to move a lot of scrap metal from the forest and into there storage. so nobody else was able to find it or do dangerous things with it.

DeleteA Disappointing Cabin Stay
ReplyDeleteIt was a warm summer day in mid July. A family was at a cabin in Montello, WI. It was their second day staying there, and all of them were enjoying the trip. One of the kids said “we were there with our grandparents, and our used to be cousins!” their family had planned out every day. “Mosquitos had been a big problem at our cabin, even on the first day” said the father. The family had been enjoying their trip very much, but one main issue they had were the mosquitos. “It was mid july and the mosquitos were horrible! They attacked us like crazy!” said the mother of the family.
Annoying Insects!
One day, one of the kids went outside. The kid got attacked by mosquitos; they devoured her blood. The kid said how they got around 20 bites from the annoying bugs. The family stated how they couldn't do most of the activities they planned to do outside their cabin. “Our cabin was not very close to the water but you could see it from our cabin.” said one of the grandparents. The family didn't go outside their cabin most of the days; the huge bug issue was intense. And so most of the time they went out to the city to have fun.
Facts and Tips About Mosquitos
Mosquitoes can be a huge problem in the US. Around 725,000 people die each year from mosquitoes. Most of the time you can avoid getting bit from them if you are wearing protectant spray. Some sprays don't work well so, another thing you can do is get a mosquito trap. A mosquito trap works well and what is does is, whenever a mosquito or any bug goes inside they get zapped; mosquitos then die in a second. The light can attract them. There is nothing good about mosquitoes as they are a very dangerous insect that people die from. Although you can't fully avoid mosquitos you can prevent yourself from getting bit.
Where Mosquitoes are Most Active
If you live near a marsh, lake, or pond expect a lot of them; areas with water have a lot of mosquitoes. Mosquitos lay eggs near water and they can hatch millions of eggs. Soon enough those mosquitos will become adults; they can harm you. Some mosquitos only like certain blood types so sometimes more people get bit than others. The mother from the family reportedly said “Even though mosquitos bothered us most of the time, we found out how to still enjoy our trip!”.The family had enjoyed their trip despite the harmful insects attacking them 99% of the time. This just shows how even though there can be disappointments on your trip you can still find a way to have a good time.
I like how there is a clear beginning, middle, and End.

ReplyDeleteHe went to drive the car, he was going to walmart to get donuts because they needed breakfast. He was pulling up to a red light and was putting on the brakes he then saw a mouse run under the passenger seat. and never saw it again they then went to walmart and got donuts, and glue boards to catch the mouse. Although the mce probably was looking to live in the camaro, it could've just ended up there because the windows were down, and he could’ve just been walking and fell into the car.
Stay Away Mice
Some of the ways you can use to keep mice out is keep the car clean, keep away any foliage, and seal any openings for the mice to come in from. Because mice like to go into places where it is warm; comfortable, and where there is lots of bedding for them to use. that's why they mostly go into cars and houses because they are just looking for a place to stay. Although they can be pests by spreading and tearing things up and by leaving leftover food.
The Importance of Our Trees
ReplyDeleteIn the world that we live in, always have appreciation for those things that you think do nothing. Such as trees. Trees are one of our key producers of oxygen. Cutting down trees limits oxygen way more. The removal of trees increases the amount of stormwater runoff as well. Stormwater runoff increases pollution and erosion in our own waterways. Trees also give animals a home, as well as food. Always be aware of how bad cutting down trees is. When trees are cut down this affects citizens views too.
A Sad SIght to See.
This family was victim to see the removal of something so important. It seemed as if it was a normal day, everything happening as it should. But for the local family this was a devastating sight for them. As they are walking around their house they see every pretty tree they normally do, but when they look outside the back window they notice the beautiful dark evergreens getting chopped down. As parents of the family stated, “It was such a shocking sight, it was nothing we’d never seen before.” The family adored the evergreens very much. But this was out of their control as they were not apart of their property. The parents also stated, “Seeing something you love crumble down that easily is just a sad sight to see.”
Always Keep it in Your Mind.
Unless if a tree is causing major issues like property damage, always think twice about cutting down trees. From the protection of issues that they do, to giving us the things we need to live. Always give a thought about the others that surround you as well.
A very good beginning middle and end.
DeleteChromosome 17q12 microduplication syndrome
ReplyDeleteA 14 year old student at Bartels middle school has three kidneys. The student’s right kidney started to grow a another kidney at a very young age. She was always in and out of the hospital when she was a kid because she always had kidney infections, and always had ortho sounds as a kid but she hasn’t gotten one in a long while.
Kidney infections
She always had problems with her kidneys growing up because she has always gotten very sick when she was a kid, and sometimes it got so bad that she had to go to the hospital because of it. With her kidney infections she always had a high fever and be throwing up and that is one of the reasons why she had to go to the hospital all the time.
Because she was in and out at the hospital she kept on telling the doctors and nurses that her grandma called he pumpkin, so they changed the name in her information on their computer to pumpkin, so she was very well known at the hospital.
Finding out why a third kidney grew
The reason that the doctors think why she grew another kidney is because she has a condition that is called, Chromosome 17q12 microduplication syndrome. Chromosome 17 has been associated abnormalities of the eyes, heart, kidneys, and the brain. Chromosome 17 in the kidneys can make problems with development or function of the kidneys and urinary system. She was diagnosed in 5th grade with this condition.
Awareness month
Chromosome 17’s awareness month is march so people create foundations that raises and spreads awareness.
Halloween Blues
ReplyDeleteSome leftover candy was found at a grumpy old man's house; he says that the candy was from a 7 year old boy who was dressed as Elmo from “Sesame Street.” He says that he will find the boy and return his candy the night after but doesn’t recognize any physical features of the boy.
Leave No Kid Behind
Kids have been dropping candy because they have been running too fast to drop some out of their bucket. Make sure that your child stays with you at all times during Halloween and walks. Especially during the cold, crispy night. They could even get lost if they’re not careful!
Candy Counting
Make sure you keep count of your child candy. You would need to make sure your child knows too because they’re trying to get as much candy as possible on Halloween. It’s also important not to miscount because that could ruin the whole system and end up getting the wrong candy amount.
Happy Halloween
Thankfully, the grumpy old man did find and return the candy to the boy. And from that point, the grumpy old man wasn’t so grumpy anymore. He came inside the boy’s house and talked with him and his mom. And the happy old man said that they can come over to his house anytime. So be sure you and your kid use these tips and the story to stay safe on Halloween.

DeleteWhen the junior bridesmaid and the flower girl were walking down the aisle, the flower girls diaper falls off! (The flower girl is only 1 year old so she isn't potty trained yet.) The mother of the junior bridesmaid runs into the aisle to put on the flower-girls diaper. While the mom is putting it back on, the junior bridesmaid is throwing flowers up in the air. She is trying to distract the crowd from the mishap. While all of this is happening, the camera lady for the wedding is taking pictures of everything. But what people didn’t notice is the mother of the bride is in the front sulking, clearly mad about her diaper falling off. Once the mom is done fixing the diaper she runs back and sits down. The junior bridesmaid had run out of flowers now, so she has to carry the flower girl to the end of the aisle. After everyone was seated, the bride and her father can come down.
ReplyDeleteOnce the bride has walked down the aisle, the pastor began the wedding. When it came time for vows, the bride realized she forgot her vows. So, the mother of the bride had to run back to the barn; holding up the whole wedding. After they were officially married, the mother of the junior bridesmaid said “I think it was karma for not appreciating the funny moment when her diaper fell off.” They don’t know why her diaper fell off, but it may be because the flower girls dress was too fluffy. Or the adhesive on the diaper wasn’t strong to hold the diaper together. Or she somehow pulled it off.
According to Forbes the best diaper for movement would be huggies little movers and huggies little snugglers. Which the flower girl in that moment was not wearing which might mean that's why it fell off. It says on quote “After extensively testing nearly two dozen brands of top-rated diapers, we found several clear winners. The Huggies little snugglers and huggies little movers were simply the best diapers overall, as they consistently proved the most reliable at preventing leaks while fitting kids of all sizes the best.” Meaning that if she had worn that diaper, it probably would not have fallen off at the wedding, even though it was still a funny moment to look back on in the future.
I like that you gave facts about the best dippers.

DeleteWhen should you put your tree up?
ReplyDeleteIs there a right time to put up the Christmas tree? There are many different different opinions on this topic. Some people that have stated their opinion. Some people feel it should go up till after thanksgiving; while other feel that at the start of November is the time to put it up. There is reasons to why both are okay.
Enjoying the winter vibes
Scientist have done research to prove that people that put up there christmas tree and other christmas decorations early are proven to be happier. They state that when you put your christmas tree up early that is brings back childhood memories. These make you happy and nosticlgect. It also helps some make to transition from autumn to winter.
Enjoying that autumn vibes.
The first reason for not putting up the christmas tree is because it is real tree. If you put up a real tree early it can die faster. It also means that you have to pay attention to your tree; meaning that you have to water it more. People also feel that if they put up the christmas tree before thanksgiving it can take away from thanksgiving. They feel this way because the christmas tree is so bright and big that you pay attention to it more. There is also different superstitions about putting your christmas tree up early. People state that putting up your christmas tree early can bring bad luck.
Both are fine to do and it is up to you to make this decision!
I like that you put in the part of if its a real or fake tree, and about how it would die quickly.
DeleteHolds in school
ReplyDeleteOn november 5 2024 in first hour there was a hold. Some staff seen what happened and they saye someone needed medical attention, and the halls cleared to let the medical professionals do their part helping the hold skipped all of 2 hours
What is a hold?
According to the BMS newsletter, a hold is when your in your room or area. teachers have to lock their doors and students have to get to a room and stay in there until they get the ok to leave the room.
After the hold
When the office lifted the hold the students had to go straight to 3 hour skipping 2 hour completely. Students never found out how it was and what happened on that fateful day.
I really like how well you explained what a hold is and the timeline of events and what happened after the hold!
DeleteOn november 10 a group of 8 girls were at a birthday party. Two of the girls wanted to try something they saw on social media.
ReplyDeleteThe girls would take turns by doing a handstand. After they held the handstand for a second another girl would grab her legs, and would spin they around so they felt like they were flying.
It was about the 3rd time they did it; a girl picked up the lightest girl there and began spinning her around. They were in a tightish space so they choice her, the lightest and shortest. Just as she spun her neck snapped around the legs of the girl holding her. Everyone started laughing at the sight. The girls whose house they were at started saying that she was going to get hurt. Just as she said that the girl slipped out of her hands and onto the ground. She landed with a bang and started laughing.
If she didn't fall when she could have hit her head on one of the objects in the room. She could have cracked her head open and ruined the whole party. Things could have ended a lot worse for the girl.
Dogs missing
ReplyDeleteAt night when a family was celebrating the 4th of July, two dogs were tied outside on leashes, while the reporter was with cousins getting food, the dogs got off of their leash and ran away. When the family noticed the dogs were off the leash they looked for them after the fireworks and found one but the other did not show. It wasn't until the following morning the next dog was given to the family and 7 AM by a stranger who supposedly just opened the door and dropped him off. One family member had mentioned something about the dogs escaping the yard, but nobody else had agreed.
Methods to keep dogs in!
There are many non-harmful ways to keep your pets in the yard, one way is just a fence. If your animal can jump, you can add some length to your fence or bend the top of the fence inward so they can't jump out. You can also get an invisible fence, but you should add a rubber piece to put over the prongs and loosen the collar so it doesn't hurt the animal and just feels like an extreme vibration. There are over 15 ways of keeping your dog inside the yard, but these are most popular.
On the last day of the Portage eighth grade football game. One of the players made one amazing catch and he had a guy right on him, but he went back and ran for the touchdown.
ReplyDeleteSome notable NFL catches are: DK Metcalf. He caught high vertical jumping catching the ball. Another is Odell Beckham Jr. one handed catch. Finally Wilson Gratte caught the ball one handed in the back of the end zone.
Though Portage lost the game, it was an amazing catch. This catch got the team a touchdown.

Magical Days
ReplyDeleteThe most magical time of the year. Some say it’s Christmas, but I believe that it’s the NFL season. NFL players playing their hearts out, and doing their best to make every play. As usual though, they have some consequences to. According to Norse News, the NFL injury rate has gone down 5.6% over the past year, but some stuff still happens. Even at school, and everywhere around the world. Recess, students get to be free, and do whatever they want, but this time something changed for the worse.
A Jump that Changed a Life
At Bartels Middle School students love football, they even play it all the time at recess. Leaping into the air to catch the football, the cold fall breeze makes everyones skin cold, and make every little thing hurt way more. Two students on opposite teams; fight to win the game, but little did they know that one of them would be injured and have their life changed forever.
Getting Hurt While Having Fun
One of the students landed on the other’s ankle and fell awkwardly on the ground. No one knows what happened until the student let out a loud scream. Everyone playing yells for some help and the staff come rushing over to help the student. When they get to the hospital all the bad news come out, the student broke their hip. One of the students at Bartels Middle School stated “It was a very scary moment, you never want to see your friend down on the ground. Especially when they’re screaming in pain and not getting up.”
Soccer is a common game that people play for fun or for a career, but do you know how dangerous it can be? At the flamingos soccer game in madison on november 9th, a player was tripped hit in the face and run over during game. The player was spitting up blood.
ReplyDeleteHow common are injuries?
Many players get hurt playing soccer, around 412,607 players get injured yearly. About 22% of these injuries are concussions. The males teams have almost twice the amount of hip related injuries, and female teams have more knee and ACL tears. Experts believe this is because of anatomy and strength differences.
Staying safe
There are a couple easy ways to minimize this from happening you can stretch well and stay hydrated, wearing the right protective gear, and have safe playing conditions. If you do get injured there are a few things you can do such as immediately stop playing and seek assistance and see if you need medical attention.
Some signs that you need medical attention
You need to look out for thing that show you need medical attention such as, not being able to move the injured body part, pain isn’t better with rest, significant swelling or pain, unable to walk or put weight on the injured body part.
Signs of concussions
You need to look for signs of concussions as well such as abnormal eye movement, loss of consciousness, trouble focusing, light sensitivity, confusion, eye strain, and blurred or doubled vision. If you have received medical attention you must be cleared by their provider, make sure that all the symptoms of injury are gone no swelling, no pain, and full motion range.
Playing
Soccer is a great game to play but it can be dangerous. As long as you take precautions it can be a fun, and safe, game.

DeleteTis the season! Or is it? Its now that time of year where controversy is stirring about weather it is appropirate to put up christmas decorations before thanksgiving or after.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Architechtual Digest Magizines, 54% of Americans put up their Christmas trees in Novmeber before thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Balsam Hill suggests that it is most appropriate to put up all christmas decorations the weekend after thanksgiving.
But what does the public think about this? Evidence from Veranda states that more people put their decorations up after thanksgiving than before. Although you may feel betrayed by this study, this is the truth. A family from Wisonsin strongly states, , “ I believe that it is wrong to decorate before thanksgiving! It is its own holiday too, and it needs more recognition!” Many other families and people agree with them on this topic, While only about half of the people that agree disagree.
Despite people decorating super early, it is proven that you should be decorating after thanksgiving. Maybe its the bright colors, or the festivity that this holiday brings people, but something about it is just so tempting to put our decorations up at the wrong time.
I really like the variation of the words you used because you used vocabulary in your article that was more complex!

DeleteThe Archer Incident
ReplyDeleteAt a archery practice for new archers that are just beginning their first year on the team only and a few other 4th year archers including myself was there to help out new archers and the coaches because the coaches can’t help every new archer there. When one of the other 4th year helper archers was helping another new archer she had noticed that the top of the string of that archer’s bow had started unraveling which means the string is dead and needs to be replaced before it gets worse and snaps.
When she had noticed that she had directed that archer to let down the bow before releasing so that it wouldn’t snap while being drawn back. She took the bow out of the archer’s hands quickly as the archer was completely inexperienced with shooting bows and got a coaches attention because she had never dealt with a situation like this either except for the fact that she knew to have the archer not continue with pulling back the bow and to take the bow away and get a coaches attention before the situation worsens. Luckily due to her quick actions no archer was harmed in this situation and we were able to pull that bow off the bow racks before any archer uses that bow until the string is replaced and the bow is inspected before being put back into usage for any archers.
Those other 4th year archers that were there helping were startled when that other 4th year archer that was put in that situation got our attention and we had no idea on what to do as we had never been put in that position before even with how long we’ve been on the team but we knew we had to act with fast thinking because if that archer continued pulling back the bow it could’ve caused harm to one or multiple archers and equipment. As of result of the archer using that bow and pulling back the string was already unraveling a large amount but that made the string even worse than the condition it was already in which made it harder to repair.
You made the story super suspensful and it made me really interested in what was going on. It made me want to learn more.

DeleteWhat you should do to prevent
ReplyDeleteIt is summer and it is dark outside earlier. To prevent it from happening try not to play games by or in places that are more likely to have nails on the ground. To begin with, it’s important to be more aware of where you are running.
What do after it happens
After you feel a nail in your foot stop running. Then also stop putting pressure on the side it happened on. You also should call a family member to drive you home if your phone is on you or close by. If you can have your friends get you to your phone. But if you or your friends do not have a phone go home with friends. When at a chance stop bleeding and add antibiotics.
If the nails rusty
If you can bring the nail with you. You should also see if you have your shots for tetanus. If your shots are bad for tetanus you should go to the doctor fast and get it. If the nail has hit a bone or tendon or anything important, call an ambulance. If you don't have a phone, get someone passing by to call an ambulance. If the nail has put fragments of metal in you you will need surgery to take it out.

If you ever cross a baby alligator, or any alligator for that matter. you should back away slowly. As not to startle it; they can run over 35 miles per hour on land, and can climb trees. You can take the precaution, of not going by banks were. Alligators like to bask in the sun according to the. The TPWD (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department). This reporter has encountered this before. We were in Louisiana, visiting family. And me and my mother were walking along a bank and we saw one. me and my mother took the right precautions to ensure our safety we backed up slowly, and got out of the area. We took the chance to get out of there so none of us got hurt.
What to do if you get attacked.
unfortunate enough to get attacked by a alligator. You should follow the advice of NPR. You should start to poke. it in the eyes, and hit it in the head. If your hand is in the alligators mouth; stick it down its gullit.. Do any thing that releases you from the mouth of the alligator.
I like how you stated the site and told me how to protect myself.

In the past three years of trick-or-treating in Endeavor, the number of children has drastically decreased. The average person spends $31.93 on Halloween candy a year. If one person spends $30 on candy when only a few trick-or-treaters come, they end up handing out handfuls of candy to each trick-or-treater.

Trick-or-treating is an activity that many people say is for little kids. Since Endeavor is such a small town it may be possible that all of the kids have grown out of it. Trick or treating is also a family thing, but as you get older kids tend to want to trick or treat with their friends who may not live in their small town. Therefore, they might go to a different town.
