US KIDS

By Camille

Us kids all have the power to change the world, all we have to do is believe in ourselves. We are not helpless, we are full of power. That is why I came up with an assignment to write to the President and tell him what we think should be changed. Other classes are welcome to join in this assignment. In fact, I bet we could change a lot of things if the whole school did this.

There are some things that must be included in the letter, you need to write your first and last name and Countryside School's address. The assignment is due on December 10th, 2009, but instead of mailing them yourself, you can give them to me, Camille in Ms. Muligano’s classroom. I am in 4th grade. You can come to Mrs. Muligano's classroom to hand me your letter. If you do not want to participate, that is ok. Remember, we are POWERFUL!

Field Day, My Favorite!

By: Camille

On field day at Countryside School, all of the kids go outside for fun and games. Field day is my favorite celebration at our school. One of the things we, as a school, do is clean up. We all clean up the outside of the school. We just started this part of field day last year, but I still like it.
Other activities we do are: tug of war, dunk tank, relay races, dancing, and much, much, more.
One time, we got to dance with our gym teacher; it was so fun! We love our tug of war! Last year, we did 4 ropes in a row for our tug of war! What is your favorite day at Countryside and why is it your favorite day? Keep Posting!

Book or Movie?

By: Kristen

First the book, then the movie, let’s compare them. Which one do you enjoy the most? Why? I like the movie better because there is so much for my mind to take in. The book is good, also, but how I view it in my mind is different. Which do you prefer and why?

Patterns

By: Sydney

Did you ever think about patterns? They’re all around you. Night and Day is a pattern. . . Night-Day, Night-Day, Night-Day on and on. Patterns are everywhere . . . just waiting for you to learn about them. People use patterns everyday: they use them at work, they use them in school. We use them in our classroom.

Have you ever used patterns? Think. I bet you do, you just never thought about it. Just think and answer on the comment part. Do you use patterns? What kinds of patterns do you use?

Wash Your Hands!

By: Sydney

To keep from getting sick this year wash your hands!
If you wash your hands, germs will die and you won't get sick.
Cough into your sleeve, if you forget, WASH YOUR HANDS.
If you don't cover your cough, you get other people sick. If you cough
into your hands and you don't wash your hands and then you touch something, then someone comes and touches it, then they eat something with their hands, then they
get sick, the virus spreads. So always remember to WASH YOUR HANDS!
