The Reason for the Season
By Jocelyn Hilvert, Charlotte Noe, &
Katelyn Braner
Who’s excited for the fifth
grade musical? I know I am! I happen
to be in the musical and I know everyone has been working really hard!
The musical is called
Thwacked and it’s about three frogs
who think the sky is falling and everyone’s really concerned. Is the sky
actually falling or is everyone worried over nothing? Looks like you’re
going to have to wait to find out.
We would be very excited if
you would all come to see the performance on Thursday December fifteenth at seven o’clock. (This was put
together by Mrs. Bachman and Mrs.
Blankenship)

Interesting Bugs Guess the Teacher
By Peyton Rogers
A wheel bug is from some states in the
southern part of the United States. Some
people are finding them in neighboring
states and Ohio. I don’t recommend touching them they will bite because they think
you’re trying to hurt them. They are harmless as long as you don’t touch them they
and they do not do anything to harm the
environment. They just want to adapt to the
environment that they are in.
I do not expect you to see one, but you
might. No one has talked about a weird bug
they saw to me. This could be really boring,
but it could be very interesting to the people
that like bugs and want to learn more about
them.
These bugs look very weird with there little
tongue thing that fold under them - which is
really neat.
