Disney World

By : Grace

I went to Disney World. I went to all of the places.. I rode on buses and on a boat. I also lost a tooth! When I came back, I played the Game of Life and watched the Haunted Mansion.

March Mail is coming up

soon in school! The second grad-

ers are delivering the mail. The

first graders and second graders

get to write the mail. You have to

buy stamps to mail a letter. They

cost 10 cents each. The money is

for the food pantry.

I like March Mail.

It Hatched!

By: Emmet O’Leary

At the Science Museum, I saw a chick hatch with my own eyes. It was amazing! I saw it right after the taste test. My Mom was the one to get my attention. A funny thing that I saw was a chick that was stuck on his back! I love going to the Science Mu-

seum. It’s really fun!!!

THE PHANTOM MENACE

By: Connor

Over the weekend, I saw The Phantom Menace. It was cool and sad because someone died. I loved it! Obi-Wan sur-vived. A Jedi Master died. Obi-Wan destroyed Darth Maul. He cut him in half. It is a very cool movie. It is my favorite Star Wars movie so far.

Timelines

By Ellie and Evie

We are making timelines of our own life. We have a tile line of animals in our class. We are learning about life long ago. Ellie is studying crinoids and Evie is studying the giant nautiloid. We like

The Jump-a-thon The Jump-a-thon

By Brayden and Julian

The new Miller playground costs $175,000. The school has just over $80,000 but they still need $95,000 more. The Miller play-ground will be nearly 4,500 square feet. There will still be more fund-raisers for the Miller playground. There will be a dodgeball tourna-ment, thank a teacher, spring fund-

raiser and maybe a fun run.

The Environment

By Sally Sousa

The environment is a special place for me and you. You do not want to liter because it is bad for the environment. It’s bad for you and me. It’s also a crime. Make sure to recycle. You should do good things to the earth. Then you

will get good things back.

Leprechauns

By Topher

Leprechauns are real. Sometimes they are invisi-

ble. They like gold.

They are fast. They are sneaky. If you put your shoes under your bed on St. Patrick’s Day, the lepre-chauns will put candy in

them

The Jump-a-thon

By: Sophia

The Miller play-ground is getting replaced with a new one. It cost a lot of money, so the third graders jumped rope for 2 hours. The second and first graders danced to 2 songs called “The Macarena” and “YMCA”. It was those 2 songs mixed up to-gether and then at the end of it we did a little choo choo dance. Then we all said, “Ta da!” and we kneeled down on our knees. It was

fun!!!

Jump for Miller Playground!

By: Hailey

Last week, the 4th and 5th graders

jumped rope. The 1st graders did the

“Macarena” and then after that the 4th

and 5th graders jumped rope again!

The 1st graders came back for the

wrap-up. We raised a lot of money for

the Miller playground!
