Oma rhyming with my fingers

Posted on January 19, 2014 by Franki Jo

We have been watching a lot of family videos. I really miss my Oma.

English
This one’s the thumb, (Wiggle child’s thumb)This one shakes the plums, (Wiggle index finger)This one picks them up, (Wiggle middle finger)This one takes them home, (Wiggle ring finger)And little Wuzi Wuzi (Wiggle little finger)Eats them all up! (run your fingers up child’s arm and end with a tickle)

German:
Das ist der Daumen,der schüttelt die Pflaumen, der hebt sie auf, der bringt sie nach Haus, und der kleine Wuzi Wuziiβt sie alle auf!

Thank you Mr. Gordon for signing your book for me; thank you Jennifer Wilson from WBAY for your kind interview; and thank you Governor Walker for taking a minute to meet me!

Basketball Practice Today!!

Posted on December 3, 2013 by Franki Jo

We met Coach Heintz today (spelled like the ketchup but with a “t”) and I learned so much.
We did drills (z dribble, shooting, layups, passing), and played games. Coach Heintz is the greatest and he coaches the varsity team! He made our first practice so much fun.

Here are some pointers that Coach taught us:

Dribbling: I keep the ball below my hips (less time to knock it away).
Layups: 45 degree angle
Shooting: My hand is behind the ball. I square my shoulders to the hoop. My elbow is 90 degrees. My feet are shoulder width apart. My follow through is like my hand reaching for the cookie jar.
Chest pass: I step to the person I’m passing to and end with my thumbs down.
Bounce pass: Try to bounce it a little bit more than half way.
Catching: As important as passing.
Defense: I stand in an athletic stance. If I’m 1 pass away, I go between the 2 people. If I’m 2 passes away, I go to the paint. Box out means to stop the person from getting to the ball.
Post: The area under the basket (where the post used to be).

Time to go to bed. 1,2,3 Foxes!
