Supreme Squash!

Last week I was in a squash tournament. It wasn't a serious one with a humongous audience but we just faced people from our school and we had a few parents. Despite the fact that I lost all three of my games, I still had lots of fun. I had a few relays and good serves. Most of my serves were really bad, as in rolling on the floor. My bad serves let me down the most because every time I did a serve like that a point would go to the person facing me which was inconvenient for me because the people I was facing were far better than me. But it's ok. If you didn't know what squash was and you are really confuzzled, think of it as tennis against a wall. Squash and tennis are really similar so if you know how to do tennis squash is a good way of extending that knowledge. I was hoping I'd have some photos of our tournament but I don't think they took photos and my dad probably forgot to. This is what a squash court looks like:

Book Club!

Usually in sharp reading, we unpack sentences and read a story in group together. This worked very well in our class but our teachers took it up a notch and started book club! We've been doing this for a while. They started with one group but since that was pretty successful they did it with three other groups. Basically, they choose a book and we get one each to read at school. There is about six people in each group, and everyone gets the same book. For example we start reading from page 88 on Thursday and have to be on page 139 by Tuesday. It's a good way to ensure we do reading mileage. My group is reading The Giver by Lois Lowry, it is a interesting book. This is what it looks like if you are interested in reading it:
