Grace Amlike started mak-ing earrings. She made them by taking a string and putting a knot in it. Then she put a Lego in it. Then she gave them out to people. The first person she gave it to was Connor Forman. Then it started being the opposite of the cheese touch. Grace said she felt happy when she gave them out and Connor said that they were very cool.

Mrs. Belhumeur, a
music teacher at Placentino,
slipped on the ice last winter. The
ice was on her driveway. She fell
down on the right side. “I went to
the hospital and had surgery,” said
Mrs. Belhumeur. Right now, Mrs.
Belhumeur has a cast. I hope she
gets better soon.

Connor is going to build a light saber. Connor said that he
will get all the parts in all different colors at Walmart. He
also said that it might explode. “It’s going to be really

Keep Dolphins Safe!
Who Won?
By Emmet
On Sunday, I had a
basketball game. The kids on
the team were Summer, Sean,
Brady, Joe, David, Lauren,
Camden, Kyle, my brother,
Luke and me. The game was
in the gymnasium.
It was a scrimmage game.
There were two games going
on at the same time. Our
team’s name is the Maroon
Gophers. We played against
the green team. My team lost
three to four, but Luke’s team
won, three to zero. Since
Luke’s team won, I bet it
wasn’t a bad game after all.

The Care Cart
By Amanda and Sally
Volunteers bring the care cart to all
of the classrooms in Placentino.
Care stands
for :
* Cooperation,
* Acceptance,
* Responsibility
* Effort.
You can get a care card from teach-
ers, Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Weene.
We save them and then we spend
them when the care cart comes. The
care cart has erasers, stickers, pen-
cils, a library pass, a hat day pass
and a visit a teacher pass. Soon
there will be a pass to bring a stuffed
animal to school. When a class gets
5 class care cards they can eat lunch
on the stage with Mrs. Weene.

By Topher and Isabella
Last Saturday Topher and Isabella had a playdate at
Topher’s house from 11:30 to 1:30. Topher said, “My sister played with us also.
We had fun together.”
“Topher and I played house
together and then we had Mac and Cheese for lunch. My favorite thing we did was
sit and spin,” said Isabella. Topher and Isabella loved
the playdate!

The Field Trip

We went on a field trip to the Har-
vard Museum. There was this
stuffed tiger. It was huge. It was
about six feet long. There was this
bison that looked like Appa from
Avitar the Last Air Bender. I saw
a lot of rocks. My favorite rock
was this big piece of amethyst.

A Dolphin Tale is a movie that is a sad
movie. Dolphin Tale is a true story.
They fixed a dolphin’s tail. The tail got
swiped off by a ship. The people in the
movie put a new tail on the dolphin to
save it from dying. The dolphin proba-
bly had to go to an animal rescue to get
the new tail. It was a true but sad

New High School Intern in Room 120
By: Mrs. Protas
Sarah is a student at Holliston High
School. She is an intern in room 120 at
Placentino School for her work study.
She remembers her second grade year
(2001 – 2002) in room 120 when she
was in Mrs. Condon’s class. She has
fond memories of her second grade
year and those memories came flood-
ing back when she crossed the thresh-
old of our classroom.
Sarah remembers learning how to
read, add, subtract and tell time. She
remembers fun field trips too. Sarah
said, “This is a wonderful classroom.
It is wonderful to be back here.”
