New Kids on the Block!

New kids on the block! Have you ever been a new kid at a new school? It can be kind of scary, right? Well, no need to fear, 5 Live News is here! We want to introduce you to some nice people! First, we have Micala, from Mr. Fred's class. Now we have Tori, from Mrs. Duthler's class. And we have Quinton and Montana, from Mrs. Luetchford's class.

Pop, Pop, Pop!

It’s library…. With a neat twist.
Fourth and fifth grades are starting Book Reviews. What they do is this: just read a book, write the genre (or type of book), the author of the book, and then write a short summary ( which means a few important details of what happens in the book.) Then you put it in a box. And if someone from your class gets picked out of the box, your class gets a popcorn party! Good luck!
