Soccer Tournament

Last weekend I had a soccer tournament. It was so much fun. On Saturday I woke up early and put on my soccer uniform. I had a game at 7. I got in the car and turned on my soccer playlist to get my energy up. When I arrived at the field I saw my coach. I went on the field and met my team. We started our line warm where we do stretches in a line.

 

When it was time for the game to start I was playing left wing. When the whistle blew my teammate passed me the ball and I dribbled up the field and passed the ball to my teammate Kenna she dribbled up and scored. There was also a goal where the defender scored on herself. This game was extra hard because it was our first time playing on grass (we usually play on turf). We won the game 3-1.

 

After the game we went to Panera. I got a bear claw. After breakfast our team went to a park until our second  game. We lost our second game 1-0. After our second game our team went to Chipotle. Even though our team lost the second game we still went to the semi finals. The next day I woke up and got ready for my game. Our team was hyped up and ready to win. We huddled up and did our cheer and the game began. We won our semi final 2-1 and we made it to the finals! Our team went to Starbucks before the final. We lost the final and got second place. 

 

Overall, the tournament was such a great experience and I’m so excited for my next one!.

 

Wisdom Tale Project

Over the past two weeks me and my friend Quinn were working on our wisdom tale project. The project was picking a story and presenting it in different ways. Quinn and I chose to do a rap. The story we picked was Old Dog And Coyote. Old Dog And Coyote is about an old dog and coyote. One day the old dog made a mistake and his owner kicked him out. The coyote jumped over a cactus and got thorns all over him. The dog felt bad so he used his mouth to pick out the thorns. The coyote and the dog came up with a plan so the owner could see his dog’s worth. The plan worked and the coyote and the dog are now friends.

 

To make our rap Quinn and I made a beat on GarageBand and wrote the lyrics. These are the lyrics: 

Quinn

This is a song about a story 

The story is Old Dog and Coyote

The old watchdog made a mistake

And his owner got mad and raged

He kicked the old watchdog out

This story also has a coyote

Who tried to jump over a plant that was thorny

The coyote fell, and he was in lots of pain

The dog helped and used his brain

 

Chorus (Both)

This is a song about a story

A story about an Old Dog and a Coyote

They soon become best friends

And help each other until the end

 

Sloane

He felt so bad he picked out the thorns

And so the old watch dog was suddenly adored

Because he was useless he stomach growled with hunger

So the coyote devised a plan 

Sneak into the coup and scare the chickens

Their act continued until the watchdog died

But the dog got fed and lived a good life

 

Chorus (Both)

This is a song about a story

A story about an Old Dog and a Coyote

They soon become best friends

And help each other until the end

 

After we wrote the lyrics we recorded our song and showed it to the class. This project has been so fun and I’m proud of how it turned out.
