Hey there, in this blog I will be talking about my Chicago History Ideas. I hope you enjoy.
Ok first, lets talk about what is a Chicago History idea. So some of you may know I am in 6th grade, in the 2nd quarter, and my class and I just started a new unit. Chicago History. Our mission is to find 1 specific moment in Chicago History and research about it so you can present it to the class.
So we had to pick 3 different topics about Chicago and decide which we’re going to present about. My top 3 is: The Black Sox Scandal, The Chicago Fire, and The Valentines Day Massacre. I obviously chose the Black Sox Scandal because I love sports (everyone knows that), I actually know a little bit about the scandal (books, and random helpful sites), I have this article from my teacher that has a lot of information about it, and I already know 3 sites that can help me.
And that’s all, you now know what I’m doing and what a Chicago History Idea is. Maybe you can do a little research about a historical moment in Chicago. I hope you enjoyed my blog for today.
Sincerely,

Thanksgiving Plans
Welcome back, in this blog I will be talking about my Thanksgiving plans. I hope you enjoy!
So my family and did decorate our house, again. We have Thanksgiving editions table cloths, some stickers in our kitchen, a Thanksgiving circle on our door, and some extra decorations in our kitchen and living room.
I was going to dress up with a hat, but my mom said it was as too expensive, even though this bow she gave me and wanted me to wear was more expensive!
Now for my family, we have a special tradition for Thanksgiving. My mom and my 2 younger sibling go to my Mexican part of the family (aka my moms friends, cousins, and aunts and uncles). While my dad and I go to my African American part of the family mainly because there is a lot of good food, we enjoy football, and I can hang out with my cousins.
At my African American part of the family, I play with my cousins video games, eat a lot and I mean a lot of food, then watch some classic football for the rest of the day.
I hope you enjoyed my blog for today, and my plans.

My Weekend
Hi there, in this blog I will be talking about my weekend, I hope you enjoy!
To start it out, I just gotta say that I am on a Cicero travel basketball team. And I have to point this out, I’m a pretty decent basketball player.
So on Saturday, I have this 3-game tournament with the 7th and 8th graders, and I’m in 6th grade. And like I said, I’m a pretty decent all-alround player. We went 0-3 which is weird considering we are a pretty good team but let me tell you, we went against 8th and 9th grade teams. I’m just glad we actually put up a fight, I mean we could of won our last 2 games, but because our 2 star basketball players were being ball hogs, they cost us the game. But the 3rd one I got really angry, we were losing by 1 point and one of our star players took 2 open shots and missed both. But on the last one I rebounded it, I tried to shoot it but 2 girls on my side bumped me causing my shot to be terrible, and what do you know, their star player happens to be right in front of me to make the easiest block a person could ever have. We lost I was anger, no foul, their star players seems to of have the game winning block, when she didn’t,
After that it was a regular long weekend, on Sunday my family and I went to church my my grandparents and uncles, we went to McDonalds later. For the rest of the long weekend, my siblings and I just watched TV and used our IPad’s all day. We were going to go out on Tuesday since our dad didn’t have any work, but since he was “too tired” he never took us anywhere. Then we just waited and waited until school came. But then on Tuesday something happens suddenly.
It was in the afternoon, I was in my room using my IPad, my siblings were running around the house playing, my mom was at work, and my dad was in the living room watching TV. But when my siblings got to my doorway running, our white tiles caused my sister to slip, and my little brother slipped as well, but he got the worst of it. Because when he fell, he landed on his nose. The next thing you know, his nose starts to bleed, he gets up and starts running while crying to my dad. My sister and I told our dad everything, he believed us because I knew my sister would have gotten in a lot of trouble. After the incident was done, my brother started saying his head hurts, so my dad called my mom and she told him to put a hot towel on his head. Later his head pain faded away, and soon what happened today is now a memory.
And that is my weekend, I hope you enjoyed this blog for today! (Oh I almost forgot, I took down my Halloween decorations today)

1st Quarter Reflection
Hey there, in this blog I will be reflecting on my 1st quarter goals and things that have changed since 1st quarter, since I’m in 6th grade. Also this blog will be a lot shorter than my regular blogs.
Ok, so let me say what mainly I saw. I saw some homework, some tests/assignments, papers for personal narrative, letter to self, and overall how my reading and writing has improved.
So I saw a lot of 3’s, and when I mean a lot, I mean a lot. Literally on almost all my scores I got 3’s. I got 3 or 2 4’a which is really good, I got a lot of 1/2 on like some test questions, I got only two 2’s mainly from my nite to self since sometimes my hand writing can be really hard to understand. But overall, I think all of my scores would be more than half of a 3. Now I think that for quarter 2, I wanna to work on theme. It just seems like I always have trouble with it, I mean I thought on one yeast question I might have gotten it right. But no, I got a 1/2 instead of a 2/2. So I’m really looking to working on my theme.
That’s it, if I keep improving from my scores now to the next quarters, I could get a couple of 4’s. I hope you enjoyed my blog for today.

Halloween Plans
Hi there, in this blog I will be talking about my Halloween plans on Wednesday. I will be talking about my costume, my families costumes, how will my family and I are going to Trick r Treat, how Is my family and I are going to give out candy, and what horror movies my family and I are going to watch.
So, lets start with the costumes part. Almost every year I am a ninja, and guess what, I’m going to be a ninja once again. My 5 year old brother is going to be Batman, my 9 year old sister is going to be Batgirl, my dad is going to be a prisoner, and my mom is going to be nothing since she never dresses up for Halloween.
Every Halloween, you know how McDonalds used to give out buckets full of toys and stickers to decorate your bucket? Well we still keep those, and every year we used them as bucketes to hold our candy. But now we used these really big Marvel bags to get candy, probably just to get even more candy.
Since my family does for Trick r Treating every year, we would put out a lot of candy on our doorstep then put some note on it saying, “Only pick 2 or else *insert random horror monster* will come and get you.” But every single time we come back from Trick r Treating, there would always be no more candy. But atleast we got more candy from going to random strangers houses.
And last but not least, the horror movies. Since the weekend, my family and I have been on this fear fest channel, where they show all the classic horror movies, and if it is a series, they would do the whole thing. So for right now, we’re watching Friday the 13th part IV. Once we finish the Friday the
13th series, we will watch the Halloween series.
And that is it, but in case you were wondering, yeas we are going to decortate our house. With a really big spider web, glow in the dark spiders, a big skeleton head that lights up, and some Halloween theme lights. No we aren’t going to a mall to get candy, we are going to do the old fashion way by going to like 4 or 5 neighborhoods. I hope you enjoyed my blog for today.

Personal Narrative Ideas
Hello everyone, in this blog I will be saying ideas for my personal narrative. I hope you enjoy, (if you have an idea for me, tell me in the comments)
With that aside, let’s get down to business. I will first be doing my top 3 then writing a few sentences of what my introduction might look like.
1st bullet point: It was my 5th or 4th birthday, I was very bored, so when I was the only one on the straits, I was stupidly started crawling on my upstairs stairs face first going down. After a few seconds of having “fun” I decided to finally stop. Right when I rotated my body to the right and tried to put my right foot on the strairs, my foot slips and I then the unthinkable happens.
With that aside, let’s get down to business. I will first be doing my top 3 then writing a few sentences of what my introduction might look like.
- The Worst Birthday Ever
- My Awful 1st Grade Life
- My 1st Time Playing Soccer

After a few seconds of having “fun” I decided to finally stop. Right when I rotated my body to the right and tried to put my right foot on the strairs, my foot slips and I then the unthinkable happens.
2nd bullet point: My 1st grade life was probably the worst for me. Ok, so there was this boy named Nelson, no I don’t like, in fact I hate him and he probably hates me too. So let’s start from the beginning, I started out 1st grade pretty well. I started getting a little bit better with my reading and writing. Not that much at math, but I was getting there. But then I’d say about 2 months I’m school, the mischievous stuff starts to happen. Oh boy, I gotta tell, me and this kid Nelson always got in a whole lot of trouble that year, in so many different ways.
3rd bullet point: I was 5 or 4 when my parents decided to get me into soccer. Now this was like a camp where yeah you have a team and you go against other teams, but there were no tournaments, no scoreboard, no record, no seeds, no fancy equipment you wear while playing soccer, no of that. It was just basically a fun and friendly soccer games. But after I’d say 2 or 3 games, I wanted to quit so bad. Every single game that ended I was always mad. Until one game, when I had a chance but......
There you go, those were my top 3 personal narratives, if you liked any of them tell me in the comments. Update: I picked The Worst Birthday Ever narrative.

Clubs
Good morning everyone, for today’s blog, I will be talking about clubs I would want to join this year in school. I hope you enjoy!
Anime: I would love to join anime because I love anime, in my first blog I was saying interests, and one of them was anime. So I’m a big fan of it, but lately I’ve been getting bored. I’ve watched anime’s like SAO, Fairy Tail, Naruto, Blue Exorcist, etc. And new ones like K and Violet Evergarden. So I thought, if I join anime club, maybe I can find others anime’s I could watch.
All-Star Girl’s Basketball: I really wanted to join this club because I love basketball, but not as much as I love softball. But guess what, I made the team! But like a month ago. So my team and I are in the middle of the season. We’re right now 10-1 with only a few more games left.
Softball: I really really want to join softball so much. I just love it because 2 years ago, I started softball just to try something new. It turns out I was pretty good. So good in fact that I was MVP for my team. And when I was selected as a player to play in the district tournament I was so joyful. Our team was so good that we won the GSBDT! (Girls Softball Berwyn District Tournament) And if I join this maybe I can have extra practice until the actual season starts.
I hope you enjoy my blog for today. I also hope that maybe you can try one of these clubs. (If you have the same interests as me though)

Book Reaction
Hey there, in this blog I will be giving out some of my reactions while reading middle school. I hope you enjoy.
When Jeanna Galletta was really nice to Rafe during the school assembly and throughout the entire book. I concluded (even Rafe admitted it) that Rafe liked liked Jeanna. But when Rafe dresses up as a turkey for Jeanna it seems she thought Rafe likes liked her so she said that they were friends. (I also screamed inside when Rafe said he liked her)
After Bear was taken by the cops after pushing Raf’s mom down the porch and hurting her wrist, I felt really bad for the mom but good for everyone but Bear. Because guess what, I thought maybe now Bear (and Ditka) would move out the house because maybe Rafe’s mom has no more interest in Bear. I was full of joy for Rafe but at the same time sad for his mom. Then after Bear told Rafe’s mom he moved in with a friend I was as joyful and cheerful as Rafe was.
When Ms. Donatello tells Rafe, his mom, Mrs. Stricker, and Mr. Dwight that Rafe can get enrolled in a art school. (It’s like a normal school where you learn all the other subjects, but there’s more art into it) I was thinking this was a perfect school for him, and to tell you the truth, I thought was pretty good drawer. (Well better than me I guess) Sure he wouldn’t see Jeanna Fira while or Ms. Donatello, but he wouldn’t have to see Miller the Killer or Mrs. Stricker anymore. And anyways, after art school, he can come back to Mills Village, the only difference is that he will be in 7th grade.
And the biggest of them all, Leo. I cannot believe that Leo was actually Rafe’s twin brother this whole time! It just makes so much more sense. That’s why his Rafe’s mom was always worried about Rafe hanging out with Leo, that’s why Leo just seemed so odd. (To me of course) But the story was at the age of 3 Leo died of a diesease or cancer, something like that. So since Rafe didn’t have friends, he imagined what Leo would look like at his age, and then made him his imaginary best friend. I couldn’t believe it, I was shocked, surprised, amazed about this secret reveal. I......... I just can’t get enough of this secret. It’s just both very sad and surprising at the same time.
I hoped you all have enjoyed this blog. And like I said in another one of my blogs, I hope you get the the chance to read the book, or watch the movie!

Aaliyah K.

Welcome To Aaliyah’s Blog
Hello there, my name is Aaliyah and I will be saying some facts about me and my life since this is my first official blog.
Fast facts: I am 12 years old, I live in Berwyn, Illinois, I go to Heritage Middle School, I am in 6th grade, I love anything that has chocolate on it, I really do love sports, I love to watch anime, I don’t like girly things, sometimes I can be a very funny or helpful person. I live with a family of 5, one sister, one brother, one mom and dad, my favorite subject in school is writing, I am very athletic and active when it comes to sports, my favorite color is blue, and my favorite animal are lions.
My interests/hobbies: I love sports, my favorite sports I love to play/watch is softball and basketball. Personally I love softball more, but after I tried out basketball, I loved it a lot more since it’s fun and more competitive. I enjoy watching boxing, MMA, soccer, football, baseball, basketball, and hockey with my dad. He just makes it so much more entertaining to watch. Especially, basketball and football. As I said, I also love to watch anime, my 4 favorite genres for anime is romance, comedy, action, and drama. If you know an anime that has those 4 genres, tell me, and I will immediately watch. Fun fact, I can finish a lot of anime’s or anime seasons in a week. Even my friends are surprised when I finish an anime so quickly.
What my life basically is: I do not like girly things. That’s why I’m often called a tomboy. A tomboy is a girl who acts like a boy. I hate having my hair down or wearing dresses. I don’t like wearing fancy cloths or shoes. I don’t like makeup on my face or nails. I don’t even like to have my hair made by my mom so fancy. I mean I like when she makes my hair sometimes, but when it’s all braided or it’s not in a ponytail, then I won’t enjoy it. I am a very funny person. I can make all of my friends laugh with the littlest things. From funny faces to funny moments, my friends always enjoy it. Even my family members. (But even though when I know they laugh at a joke just to make me feel and not because it was funny, I let it slide)
No that you know some stuff about me, I hope you enjoyed this blog. Have a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Aaliyah K.
