4-Peat

After a huge win over Chicago Public League Favorite Chicago Curie, we began our week in preperation for an NIB 12 opponint Lasalle Peru. This had to be a big win for us to start our 4-peat, we have won conference championships 3 years in a row and we are going for our 4th, something a sterling team has never been able to do. After beating Lp, we played dekalb a team from the east side of our conference. a team from our side had not been able to beat the east until we won.

water,water,water

This morning while taking an ice bath i had the unfortunate expirence of dropping my andriod smart phone in a bath fulll of ice cold water. As you can see this was i problem for me because it broke almost immediatly, i tried to dry it out but as we all know there is no hopes in that. So after calling my dad from a friends phone when i got to school he told me to take the phone home and he would try to go to us cellular before we left for our game. This made me pretty relieved and i went on through the rest of the day, I went to pick up my phone during 6th hour. To my suprise my dad had gotten me the new phone that just came out that day. And in all the confusion at the end of the day i reliezed i didnt eat at all, but we won our football game in OT to state ranked sycamore and i ended up having a good night after all.

Thinking like a kid

       Sitting in with the second grade class at Franklin Elementary School, I notice something very weird, the kids actually like to do homework and enjoy it. Some kids even ask for more! This is unheard of in the High School world, where asking for more homework is like asking for more dentist appointments. The thing I have found out is that doing simple calculations is a challenge for the young kids; for example four plus six takes them a while to process as where older kids just know it by heart. Most of the children use there hands to count, others use pieces of blocks or any other item to count there way to the answer.  As it may be cold from the ac at Franklin, the high school is a different story, with us getting out early Thursday and now Friday because of heat ratings. In every classroom you can see the students wave there folders back and forth just to feel a circulation of air on there hot faces. But the classroom isn’t the hottest area; the lunch room is blazing hot because of all the food cooking and many students packed in. This kind of weather is abnormal for this time of year; most of us are not used to the scorching heat of summer in the fall.
