middle school

Middle school is becoming VERY stressing... It makes me very nervous to know that one day that I will have to leave ps116... very sad. And also I got my application and I'm freaking out on which school to choose... so to all th fifth graders... you are NOT alone!

george bush's speech

Last night our president george bush made a huge and VERY important speech. I didn't see the whole thing but I knew it was awesome. Have you noticed he always wears a blue tie? COMMENT PLEASE!!!!

Special classes

did you get the specialty classes that you wanted?If you didn't now is your chance to get it. Or if you did get the specialty that you wanted you might not have it again. Yep it is that time of year again. You won't Know what you will be stuck with. It is starting February 4th. What are you hoping for?

Cities chess tournament

Ms. A is really nice, but for kids in Grade 5 we want to talk to kids!!!!! Sure, we have Student Counsel, but what about the little things, like a second grader cursed at you in yard today, or your parents won't stop fighting?? Maybe we should have a kids therapy group, and not just for 5th graders. I think this would help a lot of kids in this school. Any other ideas? Suggestions via comments!

Spotlight is doing a really good job so far, but what happened to the reader's voice?! If you want a section in the newspaper focusing on poetry or sports, or math(speaking to Demos here), tell me! Suggestions(for sections) via comments!

Clothes Crisis!

A lot of people are wearing mohawk hats! WHAT'S THE DEAL?! At first it was funny but now it is so annoying! So if you are trying to make a fashion statement, we hear you! JUST STOP THE HATS!

Franny's thoughts #8: Reward Big Time!

I heard that Chancellor Klein rewarded all Nyc public schools grade A 30$ per student!!!!!!!! YAY! HOORAY! come on, cheer! How should Ms. Hsu and Mr. Chevall spend it? Spend spring break in Hawaii? Give us a swimming pool? A feast{please?} Better cafeteria? What do YOU think? Suggestions via comments!

About sleeping later, it sound like a good idea, but how would we make up for the extra half hour?? Kidsclub would lose a lot of money with kids staying later. What can we do???!!! suggestions via comments, as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lets sleep later!

Don't you wish we could sleep later! I do! I really want school to start at about... maybe... 9:00!!! Wouldn't that be great good!

Volunteering

You want to warm other people's heart by doing a little volunteer work? Well, now you can. Ms. Morque's class is going to be doing a lot of it. Like we just went to a roller hockey tournament for Special Olympics and did arts and crafts. We sponsored a coat drive in our classroom too. You can help too. Just look up volunteer work and you will find something that you can do in a couple of weeks or months. Have you helped? Leave your comments here about places kids can volunteer.

Special Olympics

Do you have a family member or a friend with a disability? Well it may be a sad thing but there is a bright side! There is a tournament for kids and adults with disabilities and they get to play fun games but they are made easier so they can play! 5-405 went to one of the tournaments and they had a section where the the kids and the adults would come over and make crafts. When I did this I felt really good inside. Because I helped someone who cant do as many things as I can. But hey you can help! You can volunteer too! You can bring in a idea for a craft set it up, and sign up for it so you can let people with disabilities make the craft of your idea!
hey please respond and say what you did to help the world! YA!

wii

Have u heard about the wii? Well it is a cool game system for your tv! You get to have cool cute characters that u get to play with! You can chose how your character looks! Funny, crazy, or cool! its like your own little world on tv! So go have fun on the wii!

Pie?

Many 4th and 5th graders are obsessed with pie. I think I know why. Pie is a tasty treat. And it quickly comes to obsession. pie pie pie. Not the math equation either. FOOD! What are the kids in your class obsessed with?

Franny's thoughts #6

Our school is cool, but..........
Creativity. Lincoln Center is the best but we need more imagination during the school day! Lincoln Center is great, but could the fifth graders, for instance, do more creative writing? Also, my brother complains about needing more time to run around. I'm sure there are lots of kids who agree. Franny, out!

Spotlight's first issue for this school year is out! So, how was it? Send feedback via comments for this post. Yee-haw! See you! Or e-mail you. Does that sound good......?
