School+Stories

By: Ashley L ** Helping the Elderly ** ** Lizzie and Kiersten, who are friends went to a nursing home over the break and made the elderly smile. They did that by reading books with them and sang songs. The reason they went was that they thought that they wouldn't get many visitors during the holidays because people were busy. What Lizzie and Kiersten did was a great cause and hopefully more students will do great things like them!! **  By: Ashley L
 * Don't be late, time to skate!!! ** ** Do you like to go ice skating?? So many kids in fifth grade LOVE to go ice skating on Friday nights from 8 to 10 at ice sports on York Road. It is very crowded because everyone leaves at 10 and they rush out of the rink. I had to fit into a 3 because they ran out of size 5 skates. They run out of size skates because many people go. **

Fifth Grade Educates one Another on American Indians

** American Indians Fifth Grade Project ** ** On September, 30, 2011, the fifth grade did a project on the American Indians and had so much fun. They had to build a shelter that their tribe lived in. They wore amazing costumes that looked so real. They had to have artifacts and tell about them. There were four different parts. Arctic, desert, grasslands, and woodlands. They worked so hard on their research and had to think really hard to come up with everything. Each tribe had to have a different activity that their tribe did. The parents took time out of their busy day to come see us perform. ** ** By: Ashley L` **
