Last News for 2008!

Our last news for the year was written by all the students on the last day of school.

(Sara) This week the whole school went to the gym and we sang Christmas carols. From December 15 to 18 we all brought in canned food. Our class had 24 cans of food (for the food bank).

(Kevin) To make pizza we put dough and flour on the table and we put toppings on the pizza like pepperoni, olives and green pepper. The we cooked the pizzas in the oven.

(Angie) A scientist visited our class. Her name was scientist Cartan. We got a science workbook. We learned about structures, stability, bridges and point load.

(Raika) On Friday we celebrated Shab-e-Yalda, which means the sun's birthday in Iran. Ms. R brought in some Iranian food to celebrate. Also on Friday, there was a huge snowstorm. Some of the students went home!

(Alison and Nicole) In math we studied 3D solids. We took pieces of paper and folded them into 3d solids. At the end, we taped them on to pieces of yarn and hung them up.

(Liam and Parsa) This week we studied about Hanukkah. We learned how to play with our dreidels (spinning tops). We also made donuts and they were very delicious.

(Cole and Grace) We made crystals with borax and hot water using pipe cleaners, string, popsicle sticks and cups.

(Eve) On Thursday, December 18th we did our holiday concert. We sang When You Wish Upon A Star and O Sole Mio. Also the whole school did something called holiday post office. It's when every class has a street name and other students can send you letters.
