The Moon Festival By: Clara Y.

Did  you do anything for the moon festival? If you did, how did you  celebrate it?  If you didn't, is
there any festival that you celebrated  that is close to this time?  How did you celebrate your festival?


     Hey everyone! A few days ago, it was a crispy clear Autumn night.  The
moon was as round as a big bouncing ball.  That night, my parents went  outside
to see the moon and set up a table and chairs in our backyard.   They told my
brother  and I to come outside to watch the moon.  I saw a big and bright moon
and I also saw a shining planet a few miles away  from the moon.  It was
Jupiter.  We celebrated the moon festival.  My mom offered us moon cakes and
some tea.   I sipped delicate tea and tried different kinds of moon cakes.  It
was  so good!  My dad started to tell us ancient Chinese stories about the
moon.  It was  really fun watching the moon and listening to the lovely and
touching story about the queen who flew to the moon.  It was getting cold
outside so we went back in.  There are three major Chinese festivals.  Chinese
New Year, Lantern Festival, and the Moon Festival.  They are all really fun so I
can't wait for the next festival, Chinese New Year!  Did  you do anything for
the moon festival? If you did, how did you  celebrate it?  If you didn't, is
there any festival that you celebrated  that is close to this time?  How did you
celebrate your festival? Please tell us!

Air Pollution- by Shrila

Air Pollution
     Hey guys! Did you ever hear about our environment being extremely bad and all? I'm pretty sure you have. Lately, our environment has become horrible. One of the reasons why it is so bad, is because of air pollution. Air pollution pollutes the air (hence its name), which is very bad for the world. The air is being polluted because of the cars we are using! Many people have told me how much cars pollute the environment, but I didn't take it seriously. I used to think, "Oh what does it matter! You can barely see any bad air coming out of the car! It probably doesn't matter too much!". Then, one day my mom was driving me to school during winter. I was just sitting here, when I noticed a car that was running in a house, and nobody was inside it. Normally, I couldn't see any smoke or anything come out of the car, but since it was winter, I saw a LOT of bad gases entering the air. It was "pouring" out of the car! I was astonished! All of that bad air is going into the air that we breath! Doesn't that worry you? That's when I started to understand the meaning of what everybody tells me about air pollution. That's when I understood that we have to try to stop this. When we do careless mistakes such as leaving the car running when you are not there, that one time will affect the environment a lot. We all have to take action of our own environment. Another way to help the environment, is to get an energy-saving car. People have made such cars, that save a lot of energy. Buggies save lots of energy. If everyone starts to use energy-saving vehicles, then our environment will get a lot better. Some other ways to stop air pollution, is to try to walk or bike to school. If you live anywhere close by, try walking. It's actually really fun. That way, you will get exercise, have fun, and stop air pollution. Do you know any other ways to stop air pollution? Have you ever walked or biked to school? Please share your comments to the class.

Bermuda Triange- by Justin

Bermuda Triangle

        The Bermuda Triangle is the greatest mystery to me. The Bermuda Triangle lies between Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Planes and ships vanish there. One famous vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle is flight 19.  The date of the disappearance is 9/6/1945. Five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers vanished during United Stats Navy overwater navigation training flight. All nine airmen on the flight died as well as the 12-crew member of a PBM Mariner flying boat that is assumed to have exploded in mid-air while searching for flight 19. Another incident in the Bermuda Triangle is the USS Cyclops on 3/4/1918. It is a Navy boat. 309 people died. Another disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle is a Douglass DC-3 passenger plane, number NC16002. It disappeared on 9/28/1948. Not a single trace of the aircraft was ever found or the 32 passengers. There are many more incidents. You can read about them on this hyperlink: Bermuda Triangle Do you know any other incidents. If so tell us. We’ll be glad to know.

Favorite recess Activity- By Vincent Hwang

Favorite Recess Activity

One of my favorite recess and lunch activities is playing soccer on the field. There are

many people playing and being goalie is pretty fun. If you’re goalie, and you’re strong

enough, you might be able to kick the ball across the field. Sometimes it is room 24 vs.

all the other people. It is very hard to make the goal because the goal is very small. I

sometimes play offense or defense, but I mostly play offense. In the middle of the game,

I sometimes will be temporarily goalie. Another activity I do is play basketball I rarely

play basketball because all my friends play soccer. If I do play basketball, I play a game

called Lightning. Those are my favorite activities at recess and lunch. What are your

favorite recess activities and why?

Long Weekend -by Rakhi

Long weekend

By Rakhi

 

             Hey everybody! I wonder what you all did over the long weekend. Well, I'll tell you what I did. I went boating and to the beach. I went to the Russian River to go boating. My friend's families came with us. Some of us went canoeing and some went kayaking. I went canoeing. We switched positions every time we stopped. The first time we stopped my dad got out of the canoe and got in a single kayak. After a while we saw him in the water. He fell out! I came to see if he was alright. He was fine but we had to send someone out to get the boat and paddle. That's why I stayed in a canoe all the time. Another day we went to the beach. We saw harbor seals. They are cuter than regular seals according to me.  On that beach there were lots of tide pools you could go into and see small or large animals. We saw this huge starfish about the size of my dad's hand. I think that was worth coming to that beach. This beach was more of a seeing beach. Since there was so many tide pools you could not really swim in it. Also the beach had sand that was mixed in with rocks so we didn't take of our shoes. I can't wait to have our three day weekend again. What did you do over the three-day weekend? Are you looking foward to the next one?
