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.

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.

Isabella and Topher’s Play date

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.

A Playdate

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!

was this big piece of amethyst.

She remembers her second grade year

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-

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.”
