The Kindergarten room is full of dinosaurs! They watched an interesting movie on dinosaurs and saw how their bones were discovered in England. They also saw dif- ferent kinds of dinosaurs. The "K" students are now making their own books about the "terrible" lizards. Grade 1 Grade 1 has made an interesting little zoo in their terrarium with a baby painted turtle, four toads and two frogs and snails. They hope to get some tadpoles to watch too. The students made up songs about "Allie-Jo's Snail". The books are all ready for the Mini -Authors' Conference on Fri- day, May 29. The "Reading Kites" are growing long tails from all the books the Grade 1 students have read. The "Special Me" this week is Jason Ellis. Grade 2 Grade 2 is concluding their Spring Reading Activities and is excited about the novels which have arrived in the room. There are so many interesting tales they don't know which one to choose first. The class thought Frank Etherington's book "The General" was a good one. It will be really great to meet him in person at the Mini -Authors' Conference. Happy birthday to Shelly Johnston and also to her mother. Grade 3 Grade 3's were chosen "Class of the Month" which entitles them to choose something they would like to do with Mr. Pike. They voted for: (1) Fun at the creek or (2) High jumping; on the mat. Grade 3 would like to share some tall tales with you. John Brophy and the Hockey Arena By Chris Montgomery Once upon a time after the Toronto Maple Leafs won a hockey game, John Brophy .told the arena manager, "I want an arena 10 to 12 -miles long so that a 1,000 or more people can fit in it." "Yes sir," said the arena manager. So the arena manager phoned the con- struction crew right then and told them about the arena. They said, "O.K.". It took them five years to build it. By that time John Brophy was dead. They got a new coach called Chris Montgomery. Chris was only 13 -years -old and when they played, only Brad Smith could shoot the puck down the ice. At the end of the season, they won the Stanley Cup and (continued) to win it until the Earth was nowhere to be seen. The Insects That Took Off In The Truck By Mike Johnstone There once was a trucker and he had lots of food in his truck. There were a lot of in- sects around his place. • One day, the insects went into the truck for dinner and found jam on the key; s� 90 big insects jumped on the key and the transport started. A couple of ants were on the gas peddle. A couple more ants were on the gear. The ' truck started to move and they wondered what to do. They got 101 miles away when the truck started to run out of gas. So, by mistake, they jumped onto the steering wheel and they ended up at a gas station. Nobody knows where the truck is now. How Montgomery's Buses are Yellow .By Jeff Porter A long time ago in Cocotown, Mon- tgomery Buses 'were pink. Until one very hot day a piece of the sun fell down on the bus and it turned yellow. Ian Montgomery, the owner of Mon- tgomery Buses said, "Get these buses out of here. No! No! don't move them," he said. A11 at once, he said, "Let's make them longer.' So they made them .60 feet • long and painted 300 feet yellow and the other 300 feet pink, so everyone could get on at 49 bus stops. Everytime they turned they would knock over a stop sign and the cop would come after them. So Ian got Corky Cozy to saw off the end of them to 16 feet, and he did. That is how Montgomery Buses aren't 600 feet long anymore. Grade 4 A special guest briefly visited the Grade 4 classroom this week. Ricky East brought a baby sparrow in on Thursday morning. The students wrote sensitive stories about the feelings which they would experience if they were caged birds who were set free. They drew super pictures as well. In art class, the children drew small scale butterfies which will be transferred onto larger papers. They are learning a lot about scale. Mrs. Broad and Mrs. Clooney attended a conference about writing on Friday and Saturday. Grade 5 This week in Grade 5, the students have been working with principles related to volume. They're getting along very well. Friday, they had a unit test in En- vironmental Studies. The topic was "The Atmosphere". The students are also "in training" dur- ing their gym class for the upcoming Field Day. The class is also looking forward to meeting with Mr. Etherington on May 29. Grade 7 Even though the class is missing half of its students who have left with Mr. Cayley on the annual band tour, the remaining students have not been idle this week. One of the activities has been attempting to solve tricky questions such as this: "Mr. Adams died, leaving his fortune of $75,000 to his four grandsons. In his will it stated that John was to receive twice as much as Will, Allan was to receive twice as much as John and Bi1I was to receive twice as much as Allan. How much did each LCPS grandson receive?" - The class wishes to offer you, the reader, the challenge of solving this puzzle. Ask a Grade 7 student to help if you are stuck! Grade 8 The Grade 8 classroom has been a quiet place to visit last week as only 18 students were in attendance. Their classmates were on the band trip. The Gradellgraduation mural has been started. Eventually, it will be a reflection of the personalities of class members as well as a pictorial summary of events making up the Grade 8 year. Reminiscing has. been fun! Everyone has different memories to add which should make the final product a delight.
