Student News: December 16, 2005

Next week, we are
having our traditional concert at the High School because a fire safety
sprinkler went off in our school and 480 gallons later, our gym floor was
damaged. We got most of the water out but some is still under the gym floor.
Workers will have to tear up the gym floor and put in a new one. At the Holiday
Concert we will sing:
"This
is my Country," "Ode to Joy," "Children Go Where I Send Thee," "United We Sing,"
"Jingle Bell Dash," and the last song is "Mr. Grinch." Soon we will have our
Holiday Concert as a bonus show on the podcast.
Also, this week, the 4ths learned
Multiplication
Wrestling in Math. We also had it for homework
and taught our parents how to play. Hailey and Bailey will be teaching you how
to play Multiplication Wrestling on "Math Corner" once the holidays are over.
This week the 3rd graders were learning about
place value
and they also played a game called,
"Number
Top-It" with 7 digit-numbers. That is what we
did in Math.
Another thing we did this
week was
Personification.
Personification is when you give an inanimate object "human abilities". Here's
an example: "The flower dances in the breeze." And that is personification. We
are working on "Personification Poems."
Lastly, this week in Reading we
read a speech called, "I'm Not Afraid
to tell the World How I Feel" by a 12-year old
named Severn Cullis-Suzuki. It was about pollution and how people should pick it
up. The person who gave the speech gave it to a grown was because she believes
that grownups are messing up the world and she wants to fix it. She is only a
child and she doesn't have all the solutions but the adults don't either. Also,
she said she's afraid to go outside and breathe the air because of all the
chemicals because of the pollution. Then after all of us read the speech, Mr.
Sprankle told us to write a letter to him about the speech we read. He like
them.
