Pride Meme

Challenge #8 for student blogging challenge has a fun little game in it. It was a little game of tag. Here is how you play: First, you get tagged by a blog. Next, you write a post on your blog about what makes you glow with pride. Finally, at the end of your post you tag other blogs. I got tagged by Mrs. Yollis' classroom blog!

What Makes Me Glow With Pride?

There are many things in my life that make me glow with pride, but if I had to pick one, I would pick basketball. In my first season, I scored 0 points. I hate to admit it, but after the last game I was sitting on the floor of the court and crying. My friend Tucker came over and was a great friend by checking to see if I was okay. In my second season (about a year and a half later), I scored 6 points in the season! That made me feel really good because of my devastating first season. In my third and most recent season, I scored 8 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in my first game! That was more than my first two seasons combined! In that season I averaged about 4 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals per game in the ten games I played that season. That third season was amazing! Sadly, my team (the Lakers) lost in the first round of the play-offs to the Magic. My next season starts at the end of next month and I will probably be one of the oldest kids in the league!

I would like to tag Brothers' blog and Grace on the Go.

Top Six (Fan Picked)

This is the thirteenth post on Jaden's Awesome Blog. That is a bakers dozen! I looked on my sidebar and found the five most popular posts on my blog and added one. In a few weeks I will put up the other six posts. After a month of seeing this post you will find the championship! I got the idea of doing this kind of poll from Miriam's Magical Moments. Here is the poll!

Disney Wonder

From April 17 to April 27, I went on a Disney cruise. It was the only ten day cruise I have ever been on out of the five cruises I've been on. Of course, I brought Mr. CA, who you might remember from my previous two posts. I went on the Disney Wonder. The other two Disney cruise line ships are the Magic and the Dream.

On the cruise, I went with my dad, my mom, my sister, my friend, my sister's friend, their mom, and their dad. The ship went to Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, and Cabo San Lucas. My family and I only got off the ship in Cabo San Lucas. I got a Mexican soccer jersey. My sister and my mom got off the ship for one day. My dad and I got off the ship for both of the days that we were in Cabo San Lucas.

My favorite places to go on the cruise were to the Oceanear Lab (a part of the kid's club), the Walt Disney theater, the Buena Vista movie theater, the Goofy pool, and our stateroom. On one of the last days of the cruise, there was pin trading. Pin trading is where you can buy Disney pins and then trade them. First, I had a double of a Mickey pin. Then, I traded it for a Stitch pin. In the middle, I traded for lots of pins including a Mickey steamboat one and a dinousaur one. Finally, I ended up with a Mexican Mickey ears pin.

Here is a picture of Mr. CA on the cruise ship:

Have you ever been on a Disney Cruise? Which Boat?

Have you ever been on another cruise line? Have you enjoyed your cruises?

If you haven't been on one, would you like to go on a cruise?

Mr. California plays basketball

"And the first pick in the CBBL (Chipmunk Basketball League) is... Mr. California!" Larry Chipmunk yelled. "This is such an honor! I've always dreamed of being the first pick in the CBBL. It was just an honor to go to Chipconsin for college!" Exclaimed Mr. CA. "Mr. Ca was the first pick in the CBBL draft yesterday" stated the Chippaper. "It is very exciting for me to have my blog mascot picked first in the CBBL draft! It will lead to amazing posts on my blog!" I exclaimed.

The tip off... the Chippers win the tip off. "I think the Chippers will win because of their sensational rookie Mr. CA." stated Magic Johnson. The Chippers are beating the Chippets 30-27 after the first quarter! Three seconds left in the third quarter. Three! Two! One! Mr. CA throws it up. It is good. Chippers 79, Chippets 78. Five seconds remaining in the game. Timeout Chippers! The Chippets are winning 103-100. Five! Four! Three! Two! Mr. CA shoots the three. And one! Mr. CA makes the free throw with one second left giving the Chippers the lead by one! Ms. Oregon shoots! She misses! The Chippers win 104-103! One of the greatest CBBL finals is over.

Here are the season awards:

CBBL team: Mr. CA, Mr. NY, Ms. Oregon, Mr. Arizona, Chip!

MVP: Mr. CA

Have you ever been in a basketball league? Were you good?

Were there any chipmunks in it? Were they good?

Mr. CA

Hi! My name is Mr. California. My friend Jaden decided to pick me as his blog mascot. It is an honor to be writing a post on Jaden's Awesome Blog! Hopefully I will be able to post a lot on this blog. My hobbies are playing basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, and tennis. I also like drawing, reading and blogging. Most of all, I enjoy being the new mascot for Jaden's Awesome Blog. I am a chipmunk. My tail is black and brown and my body is white, black, and brown. My friends are Mr. NY from Brothers' Blog, Leo from 2KM and 2KJ, Bunny from Grace on the Go, Juan Pablo from Mr. Salsich's class, Snowflake from BB's Awesome Blog, and Panda from Mrs. Yollis' class. I hope we get a lot of quality comments from them!

Here is a picture of me:

Clippers vs. Mavericks

Last Wednesday, I went to a basketball game. The Los Angeles Clippers played against the Dallas Mavericks. When the first quarter ended the Clippers were winning 28-23. After the first half the Mavericks were winning 48-46. The Mavericks were winning 75-70 after the third quarter. The final score was Mavericks 106, Clippers 100. How many points did each team score in the third quarter? J.J Barea from the Mavericks scored 22 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, had 6 assists, and took away 2 steals. Blake Griffin from the Clippers scored 25 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, got 3 assists, and took away 3 steals.

Here is a picture of me at the Clippers game:

NBA Allstar Jam

On February 19, I went to the NBA Allstar Jam. The NBA is the biggest basketball league in North America! At the NBA Allstar Jam there are a bunch of games and things to look at. Some of the things to look at are basketball games, the basketball hall of fame, video games, and stuff in the shop. Their are people who sign autographs there. I got an autograph from Wesley Johnson. They gave out a bunch of cards. The cards were my favorite card brand called Panini. Panini sells basketball, football and hockey cards. My dad and I saw the NBA D-league allstar game. The NBA D-league is for basketball players who are not good enough to play in the NBA.

Here are some pictures from the NBA D-league allstar game:

That is a player from the East slam dunking!

Here is one of the tallest guys on the East slam dunking!

That is a picture from right after some guys shot.

Those are pictures from when no one was shooting or slam dunking.

Did you go to the NBA Allstar Jam?

If so, did you like it?

If not, do you want to go one day?

Make a story

Welcome back to Jaden's Awesome Blog! For two weeks, you will be able to make a story on my blog. The stories that follow the rules below will be published on my blog on Tuesday, March 1. To enter, leave a comment and in it, write your story. Remember, you will not get handed a prize. The prize is that your story will be published here on March 1st!

Rules:

1. Use at least 1 compound sentence.

2. Have 8 or more sentences in your story.

3. It is okay to use dialogue, but add some narration too. (Example of dialogue from Seal Surfer: "Look, Grandad!" Ben cried. "The seal is injured.")

4. Good stories usually have a beginning, a middle, and a fantastic end.

To kick things off, here is a story that I wrote:

• First I brainstormed some characters and their personalities. Jack is a third grade boy who knows a lot of facts about sports. His friend, Jason, knows a lot of facts about presidents. Here is the story of their disagreement.

* * * * *

"Books about sports are way better than books about presidents!" exclaimed Jack.

"No, books about presidents are best," remarked Jason.

The boys had been arguing for hours. Jason said, "No to sports books". Jack said," No to president books". Then Jack's mom said it was time to go to sleep. Jack's mom didn't know anything about the fight, so she didn't know that she might just be better off bringing Jason home. In the morning they fought for a couple hours. "How about we just say sports books are not better than presidents books and presidents books are not better than sports books!" exclaimed Jason. "Ok" sighed Jack. They were friends again and both of them were happy. They realized that it is okay for people to still be friends when they don't share the same opinions!
