This month I interviewed the 5th and 6th teacher, Mrs Kelly.

Why did you like having family over? Because you can stay indoors and you don’t have to go places.

critter report by grace harden

    Mrs. McCarthy got some new animals. Today I'm going to talk about their salamander. They got the salamander before Christmas break. Wyatt Birdsong caught the salamander and a tree frog at his house, and he gave it to Mrs.McCarthy. The salamander is black with yellow dots. It is called a Spotted Salamander. The Spotted Salamander breeds in ponds. The salamander sends out a smell that tells its predators not to eat him. Females lay 200 eggs, and there is a jelly like coating around the eggs.

Today we will be talking to a 5th grader named Trent Esteves. He’ll be telling us about his past year being a 4th grader. But first we’ll talk to Bryce Anderson a 3rd grader this year.  He’s been learning multiplication, subtraction, and addition. Which he says he’s already learned. Now to Trent, who had Mrs. Holcomb. Mrs. Holcomb has taught kindergarten, 3rd and 4th grade. Trent says he did many exciting things in 4th grade, but one thing that he remembers the most, would be a field trip to the Jamestown railways.

The 7th and 8th grader have been doing a lot of activity lately. They have been doing an  exciting project, raising salmon babies on January 12. The 7th and 8th graders are also having their first soccer game. Mr. Russell is going to be training for robotics on January 4th, so the 7th and 8th graders could use the robotics kits. Their class is also hoping to save Bob their fish by heating the water, currently he is in a resting state. Finally, their class is going up to dodge ridge for skiing and snowboarding.

What is happening in the community by vincent petterson

Hi, I am Vincent Peterson, I have talked to Chris Peterson, the president of the Community Club about the events that are coming up. Chris said, ‘the next event that is coming is the car show’! The car show is on the first Saturday of April 4th Annual. ‘We started the car show to have money to fix our club house, and to other community needs.’ He said ‘The Meetings are the first Tuesday of every month. They start at 6:30, it is a dinner potluck. The clubhouse is located Knights Ferry’.

Kindergarten by Dakota Voortman

We are almost at the end of the year and we are over half way done. For the one hundredth day of the year, the Kindergarten children will be doing so many different things. They will bring in one hundred items of their choice. They will also dress up as a one hundred year old person. They will be making an artistic portrait of themselves as one hundred years old. They will be flipping a coin one hundred times to see if they will land more times on heads or tails. On Friday is Chinese New Year, so they will be parading around the school with a Chinese dragon. Won’t that be fun! This is Dakota Voortman and Sophia Thompson signing off as kid reporters.
