Sealing (Ceiling)

By Ada

a  sea of white

a sea of spikes

many docks

crossing and crossing

beautiful lights

 shining brightly

a smoke detector

for a light house

air vents

as islands

crossing the ceiling sea  

Boston Marathon

By Sammy

On Monday 35,000 people ran the Boston Marathon.  Many showed support to the people who got hurt last year during the bombings.  The marathon is 26.2 miles long. The winner was an American.  It had been 31 years since an American had won the Boston Marathon.  They passed the Boston stadium as they ran. This year the security guards checked all the backpacks for any weapons. I hope I get to run a marathon someday.

Read until the end

Be amazed by the wonders

Of the book

The life of bugs

Some bugs start there life as an egg.  When it hatches to a nymph they eat a lot to stay alive. It makes a cocoon and   that’s how bugs change.  As it sleeps it is changing into an in adult. When it breaks out of its cocoon it is now an adult. It might have wings or it might look different   from when it was a baby. Now you know how bugs change!                     

Pluto

By Sammy

Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is the smallest planet. It is the farthest planet in the solar system. Pluto is the coldest planet in the solar system because it is the farthest. Last year it was announced that Pluto was not a planet. Pluto is the smallest planet. Pluto’s orbit is different than the other planets orbits’. I think that Pluto should be a regular planet.

The First Day of Spring in 2014 at Canal View  by Ada

The first day of spring in 2014 happened on 3/20/2014. The weather was a bit dark and rainy. Hopefully there is going to be better weather in the future.  The 3rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade went to see a presentation of the middle school play, Annie.   The kindergarteners went on a field trip to Strong Museum.   A big band concert is happened that night too.   That was the news from Canal View on the first day of Spring.  

        

Humphrey the Hamster

                                              By Ali

Humphrey the hamster is not an ordinary hamster. He always escapes from his cage and discovers something new. He even knows how to read! Humphrey is a hamster from the series Humphrey the Hamster. All the books start with (Something) According to Humphrey. It might be Trouble, Friendship, Summer, Surprises, Mysteries, The Best Gift Sent Ever, Christmas, School Days, Secrets, Holidays, Winter, or The World According to Humphrey. I’ve read 4 of the books so far. There are currently 25 books in the series.

Humphrey is white with orange splotches. He looks very fuzzy! I wish I could tickle him! Ogg the frog is sometimes in the books. Ogg is his friend. Humphrey lives in a classroom with his friends. I’ve learned lots about Humphrey the Hamster by reading the books. I really like the Humphrey books.
