Middle School's Response to the Book Wonder



     Mrs. Meyer's students have been reading the book Wonder by RJ Palacio.  Wonder is a very powerful book about a boy who is born with severe facial deformity.  Our middle school students are making connections to their own lives and the fruits of the spirit.  Have you read this book yet?   Has this book made an impact on your life?  Please comment and let us know!

Please follow the link to Mrs. Meyers Marvelous Middle School found to the right so you can see all of the student's work!

Middle School Happenings - my first post. -  Mrs. LaSorsa

We have discovered and started following the International Space Station. What a great time we had listening to communication between the space station and NASA. We have watched sunrise and sunsets from space. We had a great discussion on traits astronauts need; patience self control, kindness. We discussed how it is the INTERNATIONAL space station and the cooperation it takes. More to come in the future - kids work!!

Third Grade Uses Their Imagination!

The Awesome
Third Grade
Lego Story



Created by Mrs. Mullally’s Third Grade Class
2014-2015





                           

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, Adam, and his family. They were going to the playground for the day. They were waiting at the bus stop for the bus to take them to the playground.




                       


The bus pulled up. The bus flies instead of driving. On this magical flying bus there is fire coming out of the engine. It also has extra seating on the top white part, which is where the driver also sits. Adam and his family sit in the green cockpit. Since it flies, it will be a short ride.



                   


Once they got to the playground they went to the green slide.  While they were playing, Adam and his family saw an airplane! Adam said, “Dad, that is a colorful plane!” The plane went near the playground. Adam and his family tripped on a rock, bounced off of a trampoline and they wound up on the airplane!







                Adam and his family meet Albert and May. Albert and May are now their friends. They are now going to take them to Florida for a week on a fun and slightly weird vacation. Adam and his family got off the plane after their long trip. They are going to spend their vacation with Adam’s Uncle Awesomeness.





                                          

          While on vacation the family along with Uncle Awesomeness visits a Professional Skate Park. Adam and his family all buy skateboards to go up the ramp. Adam did a kickflip with his new board. Uncle Awesomeness did a 360 flip! After they were doing their tricks for a little bit, they actually banged into Albert and May at the Skate Park. They all did brilliant tricks that they all enjoyed!



       
                           

                    The next day, Uncle Awesomeness rented a Star Ship! Adam got to ride it! Adam was really nervous and scared. Then he started driving it and flew right into clouds! He got really scared and bumped into the laser lever! It activated the laser cannon. The laser hit Albert and May’s plane. Adam came back down and saw all the damage.




The cops came to make sure everyone was okay. Then they went to get a rental car. They all decided to stay together and go to the beach. This car drives on the beach. It has an umbrella that pops out of the top. This car also has a sun roof that lets in a breeze. They had so much fun, that they camped on the beach!


                
    On the beach they all see this unicycle for sale. They all like it so they buy it. They put it in the car. They drive home after packing up all their camping stuff. They all go to Uncle Awesomeness’ house. They all want to go on the unicycle at once. They were all trying to get on the unicycle at once. But they couldn’t figure it out. So, Uncle Awesomeness and Adam get on. Then they notice it was the wheel that was not on straight because it goes out to the side. So Uncle Awesomeness took the wheel off, moved a latch, and he put the wheel on straight! Next, they all rode it around and had a blast!
                      

         
         


They all had an awesome week, but they had to figure out how to get home! When all of a sudden this machine pulled up right in front of them! It had a cockpit, and a unicycle wheel, skate ramp, a slide, an umbrella, wings and extra bus stop seating! It was magical. We all got on and had the best ride home. The best part was that Adam got to be the driver!
           






The awesome, magical, flying machine brought us all the way home, to our bus stop!
            






The End.
