Apple is one of the most famous companies on Earth’s surface. Some people may think of Apple as just some dumb electronic company. I’m here to tell them to think again. Apple has become so popular, 70% of people have at least one of their products! iPhone is one of Apple’s most famous products. It’s so popular they have made 6 models!

Apple is not just building electronics they are going to make a self-driving car! The most important men that made a difference in the business are Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and Ronald Wayne. These three amazing men have started something barely any human could even think of!

SOCCER written by Eric Davoudian

Soccer is an AMAZING sport because you get a lot of exercise on your legs. Soccer is fun because you can play in the rain, snow and other kinds of conditions. Soccer is good because you need a lot of strength. If you don’t have a lot of strength and if they hit you, you will fall down. You can do lots of different kinds of things. At soccer you can play games like 1-on-1 or allon-all. When you play soccer you need to know how to kick a ball. Soccer is a hard sport because you need to know tricks. I think you should try soccer. If you try soccer I hope you like it.

April Fashion Written by Vivian Shahjanian It’s April and it’s time for some fashion! This month you should wear clothes that are not warm because it’s….springtime!!!!!!!!!!!! Flowers bloom everywhere but that’s enough talking about flowers. Let’s talk about fashion.

People wear spring kind of clothes like short sleeves and raincoats. Why you ask? Well, in April it rains a lot in certain places. Take San Francisco for example. It rains there a lot in April. But in Glendale it doesn’t rain (a little) in April.

Let’s talk about fashion more. You can also wear rain boots when it rains. My favorite piece of clothing is short sleeves.

You can wear shorts when it is SO hot outside, but you usually wear shorts in the summer. You also wear short sleeves in summer, but some people wear it in springtime.

April Awesomeness Basketball

by Marion Amirian Did you know basketball was invented in 1891?

The person who invented basketball is James Naismith and he lived in Massachusetts. There was no dribbling. It was added in 1892. In 2009, basketball was the best sport in America. More than 26 million people play it. I think that the best basketball player is LeBron James and he is on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
