We are working on a song called “The Champions” for the Awards Assembly in June. We are going on a field trip to the Seattle Center for the Children’s Festival. We will see the Mapapa Acrobats. We also went with Room 8 to let the salmon go. It was exciting when Mr. Leatherman rode his motorcycle into the lunchroom. We all cheered!
Joke: Why did the girl not want to play ball with the pig?
Because he always hogs the ball!

Cameron went to a Rainforest. He went swimming there. He stayed in cabins and went in the Hot Springs. Cameron wrote a fable for the Young Author’s Conference called The Gecko and the Newt. He liked Mr. L’s motorcycle.
Lucy went roller skating and to Castle Park with her friends. She wrote a fable for the Young Authors’ Conference called The Cat and the Panda. Lucy liked the popsicles after Mr. L’s rap.

We went to Lincoln Park on Friday. I got some shells to bring home for my shell collection. We ate lunch and played on the beach.
I really liked Mr Leatherman’s rap. My favorite part was the popsicles. Please have a nice summer.

We went on a field trip to the beach. Lunch was peanut butter and jelly, hot dogs, potato chips, and we had juice. We saw big, huge crabs. We read in reading groups. Some of us are working on the Kindergarten Garden. We are working on wood, putting nails into it.

We went on a field trip May 23rd. We went to Lincoln Park. We studied about sea life, while the tide was low.
Why did the kids make things for their moms?
Because it was Mother’s Day!

Sesen
Room 12, Grade 3

What we did in April is we went to other classrooms with grocery bags. Some of us got worried because we went in front of fifth graders. Some days after math we corrected bags from other classes for mistakes. After that, each person in our classroom got to pick two bags that they thought were the best! We had to take the bags to Safeway, and we had to walk.
After we got there, we got to see some of the other bags that we picked to be up on the wall of Safeway. When we were done exploring Safeway, they gave us each one pop and a cookie. After we got back to school our teacher, Mr. Ahlness, gave us a piece of candy which looked like an earth and a pen which looked like it was from US West, and there were different colors of them.
What we did in May is on May 6th we went on a field trip to the Pike Place Market, and on May 23rd we went to Lincoln Park.

Jenna & Rachel
Room 14, Grade 2

We went on a field trip to study marine life at Puget Sound. For Young Authors’ Day we made a feelings book. We also made our “About the Author” page.

Evelyn & Kevin
Room 17, Grades 1&2

In June we are going to Lincoln Park for a potluck party. We have been doing third and fourth grade math! We wrote Young Authors’ books. “I was gone for it, but I wrote a book, and I went to Disneyland”, said Kevin. Evelyn said, “My book was a long one!”

Taylor and Teddy
Room 16, Grades 1,2,&3

In Room 16 we went on a field trip to the Seattle Children’s Theater to see the “Hardy Bays”. It was great! Then we ate lunch at the Seattle Center’s huge fountain. After that we went back to school. On May 16th we started going swimming.
We took the “Three Little Pigs” play on the road to Alki Elementary and the Senior Center.

If you cut a hole through a weenie, what do you get?
A Holloweenie!

Jayson and Matt
Room 24, Grades 4&5

We are going to the Zoo next Wednesday. Some of us would rather stay home. We are going to the Mariners game in June, but we’ll tell you about that next issue.
Joke:
A boy and a girl were at the museum staring at a mummy. At the bottom it said BC146. “I wonder what that means?”
“I bet that’s the license plate of the car that hit him.”

Bronson
Room 19, Grade 1

In class I like workshop. We play legos, and only four people can go in workshop at one time.

Bryan & Koriann
Room 21, Grade 5

All the fifth graders are going to a Mariners game on June 3rd. At first it started out as a rumor, and that rumor came true. We will leave school at 11:30 and come back around 7:00.

I bet U all worked really hard to make the L-Man rap? Well, U did it! U guys read 2,535 books!!! Wow!!! That’s more than we needed to read!!! Good job! And we hope U do it again next year?!?!?! In our class we made Young Authors books.
Joke:
Y did the chicken cross the road?
A: To prove he wasn’t chicken!

I Can Do Anything
by Kendall, Room 19

I can do anything 
because I know I can 
I can 
I can 
I just know I can 
because I tried 
I can jump rope 
I can swing 
I can dance 
I can do anything 
 
I know I can 
I can 
I can 
I just know I can 
because I’ve tried 
and I can 
(First place winner, Island Brooks Poetry Contest, 1997)
