Tips For Successful Homework
By: Camdyn Rams Editor
I have heard that people in every grade, in schools all over the world,  have trouble getting their homework done successfully. I’ve decided to help by giving you all some tips on where to work, when to work, who to work around, etc.
First of all you need a quiet place to work, such as your room, where no one will distract you.You shouldn’t work in a room with lots of people and distractions. You should be doing your homework on a hard flat surface. That is important because you won't do your best work if you write on a bumpy surface. I learned that the hard way.
Secondly, you should work at a decent hour of the day. What I am trying to say is you shouldn't be working on your homework too late at night. It is not good to strain your eyes while trying to see and read in the dark. Also, if you stay up late the night before a school day you will be extremely tired the next day. That will not be good for you or the teacher who is going to have a hard time trying to teach you while you are catching a cat nap. I hope if you are reading this you are thinking about what time you are going to do your homework.
Lastly, you need the right supplies to do your homework. You wouldn't want to keep interrupting yourself because you can't find a pencil or a pen. An idea to help prevent that is a homework caddy. A homework caddy is a container that is filled with homework supplies such as pencils, pens, markers, crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors, etc. You can either buy a caddy or make one out of a shoebox. You can get straight forward instructions on how to make one on Youtube at Homework Caddy Tips. If you don't want a caddy you could use something as simple as a basket. You really just need something that holds a variety of school supplies. Trust me, having all your homework supplies in one spot is helpful.
Well, that's it for the homework tips. I hope you take this advice and start doing your homework successfully.

Basketball
By Michael

So it is that time of year, our 5th and 6th grade basketball season is starting. There are two teams and soon I will hear what team I am on. First we will have a tournament with only 9 out of the 12 kids that are on the team to figure out the seeding. Before we know it games will be starting. The story of how basketball actually was invented is a very interesting one. Back in 1891, James Naismith had been to teach P.E. at a YMCA training school in Springfield, Massachusetts. The kids he was going to teach were being bad, so Naismith was told to invent a new game to keep them busy. Since it was winter and very cold outside, the game would have to be able to be played indoors. He got the idea of nailing up raised boxes that players would try to throw a ball into. When he couldn’t find boxes he used peach baskets. Naismith created the rules for the new game in "about an hour." Most of the rules still are used in some form today.  He was the first great college basketball coach. Forrest Allen, who played for Naismith at the University of Kansas, went on to win 771 games when he was a coach at Kansas. Allen was a great coach himself and also coached many star players, one of the most well known was Wilt Chamberlain, who became a professional basketball superstar. On one night in 1962, Wilt scored a record 100 points in a game.
