Recess News By Liam A and Dominic L

3/28/16

We  picked  to  write  about  recess  because  we  thought  it  was  the  best  part  of  the  day.  There  are  many  activities  to  choose  from  during  recess.  We  wanted  to  show  things  that  are  fun  to  do  even  though  students  are  not  outside.  These  are  some  of  the  activities  the  5th  graders  do.  

At the classrooms

Mrs.  Fauteux  

In  Mrs.  Fauteux’s  class  a  couple  of  people  played  games  such  as  chess  in  the  back.  Others  in  the  front  of  the  class  did  go  noodle.  This  is  a  game  doing  what  the  person  on  the  screen  (smart  board)  are  doing  to  a  song.  People  took  turns  picking  the  song.  

Mr.  McNiff  

In  Mr.  McNiff’s  class  people  used  computers.  Others  just  sat  and  talked.  People  also  made  up  games  and  played  games  on  white  boards.  

Hopefully  tomorrow  there  will  be  outdoor  recess!

The  Pond  By  Olivia  S  

I  stumble  over  tree  roots.    They  stretch  across  the  worn  path  like  long,  thick,  fingers.  A  warm  breeze  sweeps  through  the  forest,  making  the  trees  rustle.  Soon,  I  see  water.  To  my  dismay,  I  have  to  leave  the  cool,  shaded  forest  for  a  dry,  hot  beach.  I  remove  my  shoes  and  fling  them  on  the  sand  along  with  my  fishing  rod.  I  run  to  the  pond,  and  slowly  wade  in.  The  water  feels  refreshingly  cold  against  me,  so  I  go  in  deeper.  Along  the  way,  I  startle  a  school  of  small  fish.  They  flee  away  from  my  foot,  making  a  donut  shape.  I  swim  for  a  while,  gliding  among  the  cool  water.      

After  a  good  session  of  swimming,  I  waddle  out.  It  seems  even  colder  out  of  the  water,  which  I  welcome  due  to  the  100  degree  weather.  I  pick  up  my  fishing  rod,  and  settle  myself  under  the  giant  oak  tree  that  bordered  the  shore.  I  sit  on  one  of  its  giant  roots  and  cast  my  line.  The  water  is  ruffling  up  to  the  sun,  sparkling  in  short,  bright,  blasts.  I  scoot  my  back  up  to  the  tree,  and  reel  in  my  line  once  again.  I  cast  it  out,  and  admire  the  water  once  more.  

The  combination  of  the  heat,  and  the  steady  lapping  of  the  water  must  have  made  me  doze  off.  The  sun  is  considerably  lower.  I  reel  in  my  fishing  line.  Saying  that  the  fish  ate  the  bait  was  an  understatement.  Not  a  scrap  of  worm  remained  on  the  hook,  which  increased  my  guilt  as  I  picture  myself  holding  a  bass  with  both  hands,  and  throwing  the  massive  fish  back  in  the  pond,  watching  the  creature  swim  away  silently.  The  water  is  no  longer  ruffling,  but  cascading  from  the  center  of  the  pond  in  neat  circles.  I  wade  in  the  shallows  for  a  bit,  and  find  the  same  school  of  fish.  Out  of  curiosity,  I  place  my  foot  in  the  middle  of  their  group  and  once  again  they  scatter  in  a  donut  shape.  I  find  my  shoes,  and  shake  the  sand  out  of  them  before  I  pull  them  on.  “I  wasted  the  day.”  My  conscience  scolds.  It  was  supposed  to  rain  for  the  rest  of  the  week,  and  the  beach  usually  took  about  a  couple  of  days  to  dry  out.  Shoes  intact,  and  fishing  rod  in  hand,  I  trek  back  through  the  path,  tripping  over  tree  roots.  

 

 

Opinion  Writing:    Walk-­‐A-­‐Thon  

Pluses  and  Negatives  By  Tyler  C  

    I  ran  in  this  year’s  school  Walk-­‐A-­‐Thon  at  Ruggles  Lane.  I  am  in  5th  grade  so  I  like  the  idea  of  the  Walk-­‐A-­‐Thon  because  you  get  all  the  money  you  raise  for  your  Nature’s  Classroom  cost.  Also  you  can  go  as  fast  you  want.  I  liked  it  because  you  benefit  100%,  unlike  the  other  fundraisers  when  even  the  people  that  don’t  do  anything  benefit,  too.  

  The  Walk-­‐A-­‐Thon  also  has  some  problems.  I  think  the  stamping  is  all  wrong  because  you  could  get  a  stamp  on  top  of  another  and  you  could  lose  a  lap.  Also  people  could  be  in  front  of  you  and  you  could  lose  a  lap  waiting  in  line  to  get  a  stamp.  I  hope  they  change  these  problems  for  next  year.              

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interview  with  Ms.  Vincentsen  By  Larissa  P  and  Andrea  Z  

We  chose  Ms.  Vincentsen  because  she  is  the  head  of  Ruggles  Lane  School.  We  wanted  to  learn  more  about  our  principal.    

How many years have you been principal?  

2 as an assistant, 7 as principal

What made you have the idea of being principal?

When I was a teacher I wanted to become a principal. I wanted to influence lots of kids.

What made you have the idea of choosing elementary school?

I worked in middle school as a teacher and administrator for 10 years and loved it! However, when an opportunity for a Principalship in the town's 3rd-5th grade school opened, I jumped at this new challenge. I love the energy and enthusiasm of an elementary school as well as watching children grow and learn through such formative years. The difference between kindergarten and 6th grade is amazing! Working at a K-6 school is wonderful because you also get to know families really well over the 7 years they are with you. I love elementary school and can't imagine moving to a different level!

What made you have the idea of being principal for Ruggles lane school?

I was working in Franklin and I was looking for a new opportunity. Ruggles Lane School was hiring! There were nice teachers and it felt like the best fit.

Could you tell us more about your life when you’re not in school?

I live in Southborough. I spend time with family, being outside, reading, and playing tennis.

What is your hobby?

Reading and tennis

What is your favorite book?

When I was younger, my favorite was Where the Red Fern Grows. As an adult, I love The Grapes of Wrath

 THE  FORCE  AWAKENS  

Directed  by  JJ  Abrams  

 

 

By  Jadyn  Kiley  

 

 

When  I  first  heard  about  the  movie  “The  Force  Awakens”  I  was  pumped!    But  when  I  saw  it  I  was  kind  of  disappointed.  After  I  was  done  watching  it  I  thought  too  much  action  too  little  story  line.    There  were  also  too  many  sacrifices  of  planets  and  people.  Now  here  is  what  some  of  my  friends  think  of  the  movie.  

Harry  -­‐  Q.  Did  you  like  it?                   A.  Yes  it  had  too  much  action  but  overall  it  was  good.       Tyler-­‐  Q.  How  did  you  like  the  movie?                               A.  I  thought  it  was  good  but  the  plot  was  confusing.  

Harry-­‐  Q  .Did  you  like  the  main  characters?                                 A.  I  liked  all  of  them  except  Kilo  Ren  (Harry  has  a  grudge  against  Kilo  Ren).  

Harry-­‐  Q.  Would  you  watch  it  again?            A. It  depends  if  the  fix  it  and  make  it  less  violent.  

Tyler-­‐  Q.  Why  does  Harry  not  like  Kilo  Ren?    A.  Harry  thinks  Kilo  Ren  is  annoying  (authors  comment)  personally  we  have  a  group  of    star  wars  fanatics  we  all  do  not  like  Kilo  Ren  it  is  kind  of  a  standard.  

      Harry-­‐Q.  Do  you  and  Kilo  have  a  history?                                 A.  (Angrily)  yes  of  course  we  do.  

Tyler-­‐Q.  Why  do  we  only  pick  on  Harry  about  him  not  liking  Kilo  Ren?  

                         A.  Because  Harry  claimed  his  title  from  time  to  time  to  time  again.  Sadly  George  Lucas  sold  Star  Wars  to  Disney  for  4.05  billion  dollars.  There  were  a  lot  of  upset  people.  Because  of  Disney’s  reputation  of  princesses  and  weak  story  line  but  it  was  actually  really  violent.  And  lots  like  it  but  not  our  group;  we  banned  Kilo  Ren’s  name.  Last  interview  Mrs.  Fauteux.    

Q.  Did  you  like  the  movie?                          A.I  did.  Q.  Would  you  watch  it  again?  

    A.  Absolutely.  So  in  conclusion,  not  everybody  agrees  with  us.  :o    

 

How  to  Make  a  Pillsbury  Funfetti  Cake  From  a  Box  By  Sydney  G  

 

  When  you  are  make  the  cake  you  put  the  oven  to  350  degrees.    This  is  for  2  boxes.    Then  you  start  making  the  cake.    First,  you  put  in  the  mix,  2/3  cup  of  oil,  2  cups  of  water  and,  6  eggs.  You  mix  all  of  that  in  your  bowl  for  2  minutes.  When  you’re  done,  dump  the  batter  into  a  greased  pan  you  are  using  and  put  it  in  the  oven  for  30  minutes.  Then,  you  take  the  cake  out  of  the  oven  and  let  it  cool  of  for  about  5  minutes.  After  you  let  the  cake  cool  off  you  start  the  frosting.  

  When  you  make  a  cake  you  need  frosting.  First  you  start  with  getting  a  bowl.  Then  you  need  4  pounds  of  powdered  sugar,  a  teaspoon  of  vanilla,  1  and  ½  cups  of  butter,  2/3  cup  of  milk.    Then  you  start  mixing.  You  mix  until  it’s  pretty  thick.  When  you  are  done,  you  can  start  frosting  your  cake.    That’s  how  you  make  a  Pillsbury  Funfetti  cake.  

 

 

 

How  to:  Shoot  like  Stephen  Curry  By:    Aiden  W  and  Kyle  V  

Introduction  

Stephen  Curry  and  his  Golden  State  Warriors  started  dominating  the  NBA  at  the  start  of  the  2014-­‐2015  season.  They  then  continued  their  destruction  into  to  the  NBA  Finals  against  the  Cleveland  Cavaliers.  They  of  course  won  the  championship  4-­‐2.  That  was  their  first  NBA  championship  in  40  years.  Now,  in  the  2015-­‐2016  season,  they  broke  the  Chicago  Bulls  record  of  72-­‐10  wins  in  regular  season  by  73-­‐9  with  their  dominate  spirts  leading  the  way.  Not  to  mention,  Steph  Curry  holds  the  all-­‐time  three  pointers  in  a  regular  season  with  402.  

Their  Roster  included  some  of  the  best  NBA  players  to  ever  play  the  game  basketball  including,  Draymond  Green,  Shawn  Livingston,  Klay  Thompson,  Harrison  Barnes  and  the  MVP,  Steph  Curry.  Steph  Curry  is  one  of  the  best  guards  of  all  time.  In  that  case,  lots  of  people  want  to  know  how  to  shoot  like  him.  Me  and  my  friend  Kyle  have  analyzed  Steph’s  shot  and  know  we  want  to  teach  you.  

Alignment  

Steph  Curry  is  a  right  handed  shooter.  Steph  Curry  keeps  his  shooting  shoulder,  elbow  and  hip  aligned.  Also,  he  keeps  the  ball  above  his  shooting  eye  (right  eye).  He  keeps  his  feet  pointed  slightly  towards  the  left.  Sometimes  off  the  dribble,  his  feet  are  pointing  towards  the  basket,  so  he  turns  left  in  the  air  the  keep  the  alignment.  

 

 

 

Stance  

     Steph  is  a  wide  stance  shooter,  meaning  his  feet  are  wide  and  his  knees  are  bent  inward.  

The  Dip  

  Off  a  catch,  Steph  dips  the  basketball  low  and  uses  the  momentum  to  shoot.  He  usually  dips  the  ball  down  to  his  waste  before  rising  up  to  shoot.  Off  the  dribble,  he  is  almost  always  low  so  he  doesn’t  need  to  dip.  

Palm  Shooter  

  Steph  is  a  palm  shooter.  To  be  a  palm  shooter  means  that  he  rests  the  ball  on  his  entire  hand,  while  also  putting  all  the  weight  of  the  ball  on  his  palm.  As  he  releases,  he  transfers  the  ball  from  his  palm  to  his  finger  pads  and  off  finger  tips  as  he  snaps  his  wrist  forwards.    

Before  Shot  

When  Steph  is  about  to  shoot  the  ball,  it  first  travels  backwards  towards  his  head  before  the  ball  travels  forwards  towards  the  net.  

Set  point  

Steph’s  set  point  is  just  above  his  right  eye  and  his  thumb  is  lined  up  with  his  elbow  with  his  palm  facing  the  side.  His  arm  makes  a  90  degree  angle  at  his  arm  pit.  The  angle  between  his  arm  and  forearm  is  less  than  90  degrees.  He  reaches  his  set  point  before  he  lifts  his  feet  off  the  ground  so  he  uses  power  from  the  jump  to  propel  the  ball  forwards.  

 

The  Release  

Steph’s  release  is  4  fingers  down.  The  ball  comes  off  his  middle  finger  last.  His  wrist  are  relaxed  and  floppy.  

The  Follow  Through  

On  Steph’s  follow  through,  his  elbow  is  right  above  his  head,  with  his  arm  being  straight.  The  ball  travels  in  a  straight  line  with  his  wrist  above  his  right  eye.  

The  Eyes  

Steph’s  keeps  his  eyes  on  the  rim  until  the  ball  is  released.  He  then  follows  the  ball  all  the  way  to  the  rim.  

Off  Hand  

Steph’s  off  hand  (left  hand)  comes  off  the  ball  before  snaps  his  wrist  forward.  He  also  tucks  he  thumb  in.        

Scavenger  Hunt  Results  By:  Grace  &  Olivia  

This  past  month,  some  classes  had  the  chance  to  participate  in  a  scavenger  hunt.  They  had  to  find  things  throughout  the  school,  like  the  word  Mulberry  or  a  cash  register.  If  they  found  all  of  the  things,  and  in  the  right  spaces,  they  got  entered  in  a  raffle  where  6  participants  would  win  a  prize.    

These  are  the  items  students  had  to  find:  

The  American  Revolution  bulletin  board           Room  139      The  word  Mulberry                 Desktop  Computer  #19      1  Read  to  Succeed  paper               3rd  grade  pick-­‐up  sign      The  word  Nurse                 1  cash  register      

The  scavenger  hunt  was  mostly  for  the  kids  in  grades  2-­‐3  to  have  fun,  but  hopefully,  some  of  them  visited  parts  of  the  school  that  they  maybe  haven’t  visited  before,  or  payed  attention  to  random  areas  that  they  usually  walk  past.  

The  winners  were:  Branden  (2C),  Autumn  (2C),  Rhyan  Orr  (3C),  Madeline  (2F),  Hannah  (2C)  and  Aaron  (2B).

Survey  Says  By  Katherine  M  and  Quinn  T  

Mrs.  Fauteux’s  WINN  group’s  favorite  sports  

Our  group  picked  this  survey  because  a  lot  of  people  like  sports.  We  both  play  a  variety  of  sports.  Playing  sports  is  a  very  common  thing  for  kids  and  adults.  It  helps  you  stay  active  and  fit.      

 

According  to  the  data  soccer  won  with  7  votes.  We  think  soccer  won  because  both  boys  and  girls  play  it.  In  football,  mostly  boys  play.  Basketball,  gymnastics,  and  football  came  in  second  with  5  votes,  baseball\softball  came  in  third  with  4  votes,  and  other  came  in  last  with  1  vote.  Lacrosse  and  curling  got  no  votes.  We  think  that  they  got  no  votes  because  more  adults  play  these  sports  than  children  and  these  are  sports  played  by  kids  in  high  school  more  often.

Favorite  candy  

We  surveyed  Mrs.  Foley’s  4th  grade  

 We  picked  to  survey  about  candy  because  we  like  a  lot  of  different  candy.  And  we  know  a  lot  of  kids  like  many  types  of  candy.  Even  adults  like  candy.  When  we  surveyed,  Mrs.  Foley  asked  if  teachers  could  vote.    

     

The  data  we  collected  was  surprising  because  we  put  black  licorice  as  a  joke  because  it  leaves  a  weird  taste  and  feeling  in  your  mouth,  but  surprisingly  2  people  chose  it.  We  were  also  surprised  about  none  picking  skittles.  We  were  surprised  because  skittles  are  one  of  our  favorite  candies  and  there  are  a  variety  of  flavors.  Warheads  was  the  favorite  candy.  We  were  surprised  that  eight  people  picked  it.  It  was  surprising  because  war-­‐heads  are  so  sour.

Have you been on social websites? Here are some famous and popular ones: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, and Instagram. All of these sites have many users, young and old, and all personalities. These sites are on many devices, like computers and phones. I like the people that are kind-hearted. And I play games on Facebook like King’s road. Anyway… some people post stuff like this:

Really… why this? Why try for popularity? These people post this for likes and followers. Why don’t they just post something normal, like a summary of your vacation and some pictures? Wow, you must have the dumbest brain. You say, but no… these are my opinions. But your opinions are yours, so no complaining. Anyway… let’s get on with it. Many people write comments like: “LOL never saw that coming!!!” to a ‘surprising RKO completions’ or something but I don’t care about those even though I watch them sometimes but I don’t really like them. They can be immature and dumb. I wish that people would be more kind-hearted and think about people that are younger than them when they post. It would make the internet a safer place.

 

   

Dr.  Advice  By  Sydney  G  

Dear  Dr.  Advice,  

  My  sisters  won’t  share  their  stuff  with  me  and  won’t  let  me  play  with  them  and  their  friends.  What  do  I  do?  

From,   Olivia  

Dear  Olivia,  

  When  I  was  little  my  sisters  did  the  same  thing  to  me.  

 What  I  used  to  do  was  bribe  them.  If  they  don’t  share  say  “If  you  don’t  share  with  me  I’ll  do  whatever  you  want  for  1  week.”  

When  they  don’t  let  you  play  with  them  I  usually  say  “I’ll  tell  mom.    Or  tell  dad.”  Or  “I’ll  do  whatever  you  want  for  1  week.”  

When  they  say  I  can’t  play  with  them  and  their  friends  I  usually  bribe  them  like  “I’ll  clean  your  room  for  2  weeks.”  Or  “I’ll  do  your  chores  for  2  weeks.”  So  some  of  these  might  not  work  for  you  but  it  usually  does.  

From,  Dr.  Advice

Dear  Dr.  Advice,  

  I  got  in  a  fight  with  my  best  friend  because  I  was  playing  with  my  other  best  friend.  I  don’t  know  what  to  do.  Please  help  me.  

From,  Larissa  

Dear  Larissa,    

  Well  you  can  still  play  with  both  of  them.    Just  introduce  them  to  each  other  and  see  if  they  are  nice  to  each  other.    Then  you  can  play  with  both  your  friends  without  them  fighting.  

Then  just  do  the  same  stuff  you  do  with  one  and  see  if  the  other  one  likes  then  move  on.    If  that  doesn’t  work  you  can  alternate  your  time  spent  with  each  friend.    That  means  one  person  gets  Monday,  the  other  gets  Tuesday,  and  so  on.  

From,  

            Dr.  Advice
