Open Gymnastics

On Friday night, we went to open gym. My favorite thing to do was the vault. Here are some videos of Claire and me having fun at open gym.



Here is my crazy sister.

Gregor the Overlander

I just finished reading Gregor the Overlander, by Suzanne Collins. It was a 27 chapter book. I got it on February 22, 2008, at Borders. It was about a boy named Gregor and his sister Boots trying to save their dad. It was a good book.

Basketball Game

Yesterday I had a basketball game and we played Hoover. It was the first game we lost. The other team was very good. The players on my team are Carson, Sam, Matthew, Hunter, Kevin, Quinn, and me, and our coach is Matthew's dad.

Gymnastics

Last night my sister, mom and I went to open gym at the gymnastics center. My favorite thing was the vault. It was a lot of fun. We went from 6:00 to 8:00. When we got home we had ice cream.

The New Rule.

There is a new rule in the house. I can't play on the computer or d.s. until I write a blog entry. My mom said it will help me with spelling and writing.

I finally finished my science far project. It was about "Does Color Affect Grip Strength?" This my report.

Introduction

My science fair project is going to test if looking at certain colors will affect hand strength. It sounded like a fun experiment and my dad suggested it to me. He is a strength and conditioning coach and had the equipment to do this project.

I will test each person with a hand dynamometer once with no color, a second time after looking at plain paper for 5 minutes, then a third time after looking at Baker-Miller pink for 5 minutes. After the testing, I will graph the results to see which color had the most affect on hand strength.

I know that sometimes prisons and hospitals use pink to help settle down people that are there. In sports, some teams paint the visiting locker rooms pink to make the other team calmer and not play as well. Baker-Miller pink is supposed to calm people and I want to test to see if that is true.

Bulls & Blazers Game

Sorry I haven't written for a while, but I will write about the Bulls game tonight. The game was fun. The Bulls lost 100-97. We talked to Tara, Ligs, Erik, Marc, Bill, Pete, Ron, Mike, Jim, and Mr. Tedeschi. It was nice to see everyone. Claire & I got to see Noce & Chris Duhon after the game. I was late for school the next day.
