Bearded Dragon by Stephanie, Brennon and Mackenzie
I am basking in the sun
Now it’s time for me to run
Climbing but with no escape
Crunching crickets in my cage
Shedding my skin so I can grow
Puffing my chest so I can show
That I’m angry and full of mettle
But I’m calm now, so I’ll settle
New Class Pet By Amelia (4th gr)
In fourth grade the new class pet is Jackson, and he is a bearded dragon. He appeared in Miss Brautigam's 4th grade class on the 2nd week of school. We feed him live crickets. He pooped on the floor and then had a bath. We get to look at this critter in person every school day. Thanks for listening about our new class pet.

Classroom Jobs by Paulenna and Arden
Class room jobs
Classroom jobs are for helping your classroom. In Mrs. Griffen's you get fake money at the end of the week if you do your job right. Some classroom jobs are cleaning the floor and tables. We also take care of the classroom library. We also try to not keep the water faucet running. We are careful not to smash or hurt the chromebooks. We make sure to do only our job.
Building With LEGOS by Brandon
Have you ever had the chance to build or create with
Legos ? Well I have. I really enjoy using Legos. I use Legos to be relaxed to use my imagination and it’s enjoyable. These are some reasons why I like Legos:
To start with playing with Legos is relaxing. For example it’s relaxing to imagine the build that you want to do.
Another reason why I like playing with Legos is to use my imagination. And to use my mind and also to think and to use my eyes. I also don’t need any electronics to build with legos. You can also be creative.
In conclusion you can see that you can be relaxed. You can be creative with your mind. And you can also see that building with Legos is fun
A SOAR story ( FIction) By Olivia
A SOAR story
Open heart and Open mind
Small
Hi, my name is Amanda my last name is Smalls. It isn't really, they just call me that because I am small. My real last name is Steall. I am in 5th grade. I am 11 years old. I have a friend named Emily. She is 11 too. But she is taller than me. O.K this is my story. It all started when I moved. I was new to the neighborhood and missed my friends.
“You ready?” asked mom who was washing the breakfast dishes. “Sure am” I said. And I was ready, but I knew it was all going to change. And it did.
“Hey, you, what's your name!” “Amanda.” My voice was quivering. “Well, don’t be a baby and get on.” Said the “nice” bus driver. “Yes sir.” I said voice still quavery.
Prepare for the worst I said in my mind. Prepare for the worst.
I forgot where I was, all I could think about was my friends. They were so nice to me even though I was small. Mrs Smith was my fourth grade teacher she was strict about not picking on me. If they did she would have them in for recess. Rebecca, how I longed to see her face, her mom, and maybe even her room.
Chapter 2
Uh oh I said in my mind. Uh oh. I was crying, in school!
“You alright.” The voice was sweet. “yes.” I said. “It's lunch time.” Said the voice. “Come on.” “O.K” I said.
In The hall “Sniff.” I said. “Are you alright!” “Please, tell me, I need to know.”“Yes.” My voice was very unpleasant. In the lunchroom “How are you feeling and, oh my name is Emily Lee Toother. I have a surprise for you.” “Ok” “Here, open it.” “Ok.” I said. And I opened it. It was the most beautiful necklaces I have ever seen. It was a locket, red, shiny. Those are the only words to describe it. I was thrild. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I said.
Chapter 3
“Your welcome” said Emily. She laughed a little so did I. Soon we were laughing like crazy. “Shhh” Said the kid next to us. “Make me.” We said back.
I was having a great time, I was laughing, and I made a new friend. The day went by super fast. Soon we were on the bus.
“How was your day?” asked mom.
“Great, I made a new friend.” “You did?” Mom sounded surprised.
“Ya, her name is Emily. She is so nice” I said “She gave me this necklace. See.” So I took out my necklace. “Awww” said mom “I love it, it's so pretty.”
At dinner dad come home. Dinner was pizza and chicken wings. “How was your new school.” asked dad. “Great” I said. “I made a new friend. Her name is Emily. We had a blast.” I said. When dinner was done mom said “Get ready for bed.” “O.K” I said “Life is going to be great” I said. But little did I know I was a tiny bit wrong.
“Bleep,Bleep,Bleep.” It was morning. “Yawn.” I was really excited to go back to school. Well that's all. read my next story. It's called Friends mania. So see you then, Bye.

The Presidential Election 2016 by Brandon
Hillary Clinton: party- Democrats.
Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State under President Obama. She was also a Senator from New York from 2001-2009. When Bill Clinton was the 42nd president Hillary Clinton was the first lady and she worked for healthcare for every child in the United States of America.
vs.
Donald Trump Party : Republicans.
Donald Trump once said it is very hard for them to attack on looks,because I’m so good looking.To some voters he’s kind,funny and full of laughter. People might say he is a good person because a old man gave Donald Trump his navy medal.
Donald Trump is a Republican and Hillary Clinton is a Democrat. Hillary Clinton is the former Secretary of State . Donald John Trump is a businessman,television producer and real estate owner. Hillary Clinton is a former United States Senator and married to Bill Clinton the 42nd president. Hillary Clinton’s daughter's name is Chelsea. Donald Trump’s wife is Ivana Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump are his sons
Tiffany Trump and Ivanka Trump are Donald Trump’s daughters..
Some facts:
There were three political debates between Donald Trump a Republican running for president and Hillary Clinton a Democrat also running for president.
As you can see this picture represents Trump and Pence they say that they want to make America great again that's what the Trump Pence team is for. Hillary Clinton ideas are totally different then Trump. Hillary Clinton says if we work stronger and work together we could make a better America than it was before.
On November 8, 2016 Donald Trump won the electoral vote and will be president.
LEGO LEAGUE by Arden
LEGO LEAGUE
DO you know about Lego League? It is a really fun club at Enfield Elementary School. Grades 1 to 5 meets Wednesday evenings 5:30pm in the library. Each year you have a topic of a lego project. For example this year's project is a animal theme and there are 17 kids. Each team has different ideas for projects. For example, one group is doing a jungle with a river, a desk, and a cage full of killer bees. ( they come from Africa ). The project that we're talking about has a theme of giraffes and killer bees and you can build whatever you want and no one will care. So come and join if you want to have fun with Lego League.
