Student News: September 23, 2005

This week we looked through
microscopes. We read a paper that tells us how to use microscopes the right way.
We read the paper with Mr. S. We looked at different things. For example: fish
scales, peacock feathers, and fowl feathers. Not all of us have gotten to use
the microscopes because it takes a long time to do the microscope activity. The
most important rule is when you use the "coarse adjustment knob", don't lower
the lens while looking through the eye piece because it will crack the lens. The
right way to use the microscope is to turn the adjustment knob while looking
through the side. We really enjoyed this microscope
activity.
Also this week we started
"Student of the Week". The Student of the Week is Emily J. [this week]. The
Student of the Week is when Mr. Sprankle picks a student out of his "fairness
cards". Mr. S makes a cartoon out of the student's picture. Mr. S uses a
computer to make the cartoon. We make "speech bubbles" that say nice things
about the person. Next week is
Sage.
The next thing we did is Puzzle
Pieces. Puzzle Pieces show what we like. We will fit together and we will become
a class of different interests. Everyone has different hobbies. Everyone has
different things that they drew on their own puzzle pieces.
This week we also want to tell you
about Morning Meeting. Every day, after Specials, we do Morning Meeting. Morning
Meeting is when we sit in a circle and sometimes read an article. If we aren't
reading an article, we are usually reading the e-mails. This week, Mr. S came up
with a very good idea: that we should eat snack during Morning Meeting. And that
is Morning Meeting.
