The Best Of...

The greatest school in all the land for gym:

We do a lot of fun things like games. We always play games like gladiator, Dodgeball, Prisoner Base Bombardment, Jail Break, etc  Other than games we do other physical stuff like... The climbing wall, and other fun different things to do.

The greatest school in all the land for art:

Art is a fun subject, we get to make things out of clay plus put them in the kiln and paint them. We use Paint and water colors to paint a lot of things. we even once made something that looks like metal. Art is still decorating the room either from other students or from the art teacher.

The greatest school in all the land for Lemonade:

The fifth graders have made a lemonade stand, and they have been selling it at recess and they have also been selling it at the art show and they were getting a lot of donations. They seem to be having a lot of doing it.

The greatest school in all the land for coming to learn:

This fun school is a place where it is a lot of fun to learn. From math to science, music to art, and everything in between. The teachers are fun and most love to teach. They are all very nice, but even some help kids in bigger need of help for extra reading and math.

Have You Ever Wondered... by Christopher

Have you ever wondered...

• Do cats have nine lives? Well, cats don't have nine lives even though people think that they do have nine lives by the extraordinary things they do. Well scientists have studied cats and found that the nine lives is just their great dexterity and agility.

Have you ever wondered...

• What agility and dexterity is? It is just about when you are quicker, flexible, and good with your hands. With agility mostly there are people flinging themselves around and twisting around.

Have you ever wondered...

• Is it always nine lives? The myth is always multiple lives but sometimes its 9 and sometimes it is 6 lives. Plus some Spanish-speaking regions believe they also have 7 lives.

Have you ever wondered...

• Where the myth came from? The myth came from the fact that cats can survive extreme events that would usually kill-hurt other animals. also the nine lives came from the ancient Egyptian sun god, Atum-Ra because he was believed to take the form of a cat when he went into the underworld, and he gave birth to five gods while he was in the form of a cats. So comes the legend 9 lives in one.

Swirling Tornado by Christopher

Oh, swirling Tornado,

What if I saw you.
There are people heading,
toward you,
with scientific machines.
Oh, swirling Tornado,
What if I saw you.

Oh, Swirling Tornado,
What if I saw you.
scanning how you work,
and how you form.
Plus they chase you,
for fun and science.
Oh, swirling Tornado,
What if I saw you.

Oh, swirling tornado,
What is I saw you.
With hours of driving,
People find you.
With cars that survive,
your winds.
Storm chasers as scientists,
Chase you all the time to study you.

Oh, swirling Tornado,

I WOULD BE A STORM CHASER!
