Our School Newspaper: We are writers and readers!

Mrs. Taylor's Language and Performing Arts class is proud to present the first ever edition of our school newspaper.The students will interview people and complete a who, what, where, when, and why study on the projects happening around our school. Stories and original artwork will be exhibited. Other columns will include: jokes, birthdays, poetry. After the research is finished, the articles will be written in class. Children will edit and type these articles as part of Creative Projects Class with Miss Samotis. The newspaper will be available here on our school website and will also be distributed to classrooms. We are looking forward to this collaborative project and excited to become writers and readers.

Interview with our Principal, Mrs. Negro

Our Principal
       Mrs. Negro is the principal at our school, Cedar Lake Elementary.  She has been the principal here for three years.  Her favorite part of being a principal is working with the kids.  Her least favorite part is when kids make poor choices and she has to talk to them and give them the consequences for it. 
Mrs. Negro said there are 64 preschoolers, 90 kindergarteners, 95 first graders, and 107 second graders, with more students coming each day.  That is a total of 356 students in the whole school!

Our School Garden
Last spring the children at Cedar Lake Elementary with the help of teacher, Ms. Samotis planted a beautiful butterfly garden. 
         The garden is just outside the library and can be seen through the beautifully painted window next to the library.  At Open House everyone thought it looked like the garden in the story Jack and the Beanstalk!
In the spring the children learned about flowers and gardening, then planted the seeds and added the worms. They also painted the rocks that line the pathway through the garden.  Ms. Samotis learned about gardening when she was five years old and wanted to pass on her love of gardening to the children.
We will be able to use the garden as a special place to work, study, and grow.  This will be a place where the children, parents, staff, and visitors can enjoy the beauty of nature.

The First Day of School

Mom called, “wake up kids its time for school.”  Heather was nervous.  She found her backpack and lunch box and left for school.  When she was at school she did not know what to do.  She found her desk and sat down.  It was time for the teacher to read a story.  She read Little Red Ridinghood.  After that it was time to color.  Heather took out a purple crayon.  Amey took it from her.  Heather yelled, “she took my crayon!” six times!  Then it was lunch time.  At the cafereria, Heather sat next to Joe and Cathleen.  At recess she played on the monkey bars.  Then it was time to go inside.  The class did silent reading.  Heather read The Nervous Monkey.  After reading that book Heather was not nervous anymore.  It was time for math.  She had gotten better at math this year.  Now it was time to get on the bus to go home.  Heather’s mom asked her how her day was.  She said, “good!”  She did her homework, practiced reading, and watched TV.  Heather had a good first day.
