School Games and Football Games

Game Time

Hi everyone. It was a busy week for me this past week. We had a project at school and everyone had to create a game of some kind that was about a book we read. The book was called Dear Mr. Henshaw and it was written by Beverly Cleary.

My game was a version of Jeopardy so the players have to answer the questions by using a question. It was fun playing it even though most people didn't answer in the form of a question.

My mom was a big help with my project and she even read the book so she could help me with my game. Mom said she didn't like the ending of the book.

It's the Weekend

I am excited it is the weekend now. We got to go out for pizza last night with my Grandma and Grandpa and then I went to a friends house to watch a movie. Today I have soccer practice and then we have a game tomorrow.

Last week we won our soccer game 7-1 and I scored a goal. I hope I can score again this weekend.

Football Picks

Last week I only got two games right so I'll try to do better this week. Here are the games I will pick winners in:

South Carolina at Mississippi
Auburn at Vanderbilt
Florida State at Miami
Oregon at Southern Cal
Ohio State at Wisconsin

I will pick Mississippi to win. They beat my dad's favorite team last week.

I'm not sure why but I will pick Auburn to win this game.

I choose Miami to beat their rival Florida State.

Southern California is favored to win by 16 points. That is a lot so I will pick the Trojans.

I'll go with Wisconsin to win (even though I am cheering for the Buckeyes).

Bye for now,

Riley

Hi Riley,
Just got around to reading your blog notes from the first part of the month---as always, I enjoy all of your updates (about school) and your guesses about the football teams---after all, I always guess about their outcomes and I can honestly say that your guesses are much better then mine have ever been.
Keep em' coming,
Love, Gram

Riley!! I can't believe you picked Wisconsin to win!?!? It's not about accuracy with the Buckeyes, it's about loyalty! :-) Thank goodness they ended up winning in the end! Keep the updates coming - they're fun!
