Do Now 2/19

I would make a class about baseball.  Students would be required to do research on past games such as The World Series or rivalries.  They would also read biographies and autobiographies on players.  They would have to do papers on the biographies they read.  They would also learn how to write out stats and keep track of a players stats over the course of the season. They will also keep up with all the news going on with players like trades, contract extensions or retirements.  This class would be an elective that could be taken any year the student pleases.  I believe it would be a fun and easy class that almost all students would enjoy.

My Weekend

This past weekend, there was a blizzard in New Jersey.  So I took advantage of the snow and went snowboarding.  Me and a few friends went to a local softball field where there is a ginormous hill.  We rode down it many times and had a lot of fun.  I can't wait to go back soon!
