Red Pandas are the

cutest creatures you

will ever see, but you

probably won’t. It

makes me so sad that

these animals are en-

dangered, as I have

only seen them in the

pictures. They are the

size of a raccoon,

weigh about 12

pounds and have red

fur. Their habitat is in

the deep, foggy forests

in the Foothills. They

love to play and eat

lots and lots of bam-

boo. Once you see

them, you will know

what I’m talking

about !!!

****The Hunger Games***

This book is about how it is the future where there is

this war and out comes the twelve districts. To punish the districts for how many lives died in the war, a group

of people forms the Capitol and the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is where the districts send two people,

one boy and one girl to the capitol to be put in an arena and fight to the death. This is the story of Katniss. When

she is thrown into the Hunger games and will she sur-vive?

****Harry Potter 1-7***

I personally give these books 500 stars, I love them. If you like suspense you will adore book 3-7. I would recommend reading

them in order because if you read them in order they’re much better. The books are much bet-

ter than the movie.

Have you ever tried to see how an acorn would taste? Well if you go home and you try to eat

one you’re not smart. But I have a great way to make one that’s edible. These are the things

you need:

Nutter butters

Hershey kisses

Peanut butter kisses

Chocolate for melting

First you need to melt the chocolate. While it’s melting you need to take all the peanut butter

out of the middle of the nutter butters. Then take all the wrappers off of the Hershey kisses. The

chocolate will probably be done melting by then. Then you need to take one of the tops of the

nutter butters and put some melted chocolate and rub it on the nutter butter. Then put it on the

Hershey and press it a little bit but not too hard where it breaks. Then let them dry for a little bit.

When you’ve done that with all of them you can start putting on the peanut butter kisses. To put

them on you get some more melted chocolate and put a tiny dot of it on the top. Then you take

one and put it on the melted chocolate. After that do that on all of them. Then let the chocolate

dry. After the chocolate on all of them is dry you can try one. Just make sure you are ready to be

in paradise!!!

Guess what?

The play is coming,

the play is coming!

The school play has

finally arrived. Out-

standing actors will

be performing on

December 13th.

Many people will be

coming. I hope the

actors will be pre-

pared because they

will be in the spot-

light the whole time.

This program is

called “Paint The

Town December”.

I cannot wait to see

this performance! I

hope you feel the

same. This has

been your fellow

schoolmate Garrett.

Have you ever been overwhelmed by to much homework? Well so have I! And me

and my mom have come up with a few solutions!

1. Make a schedule to tell you what to do and when to do it so you wont have to

do it all at once

2. Start early so you will have time to make it look good, meet the require-

ments, and you will have time to do your personal best

3. Give yourself a time limit so you wont over work yourself, make it short about

30min so you can still play with friends

4. If you need more time ask your teacher to expand your deadline a few days

5. Be creative, positive, and hard worker!

THEME: friendship problems

Question1: I have a friend who plays around someone who bullies me. I want to be around them but I don’t want to be

bullied. I NEED help.

Answer: I know how you feel. What you should do is tell your friend that you don’t really

prefer to be around that certain person. Or you should just give that person another chance

and try to be nice. Queston2: My friend and I just got into a huge fight and there is no way to get out but apologize. The only thing is my

friend won’t listen to me. Please save our friendship.

Answer: That is a very challenging situation. What you should do is put a note on her desk or

table saying you’re sorry If she doesn’t respond in 4 days then go up to her/him and say that

you need to have a serious chat and tell them how you feel.

Restaurant Review

By: Madison

Chuys

Dear readers the one restaurant that I think you should vist is Chuys. Chuys is a very

popular place. The whole idea of Chuys is fun, cool, and wacky. Chuys is a Mexican

restaurant. Chuys has fun stuff all around like, fake fish on the celling, pots and pans

on roof, pictures of dogs all around, and crazy cool colorful chairs. If you do vist Chuys

try the chica chica boom boom. It’s a spicy coalition of meat and tortilla and kazoo.

Also the Crispy bean and cheese tacos. Taco shell with bean and cheese in it. Another

thing you shoud try is the bean and cheese quesadillas. A soft tortilla stuffed with

bean and cheese.

Hope you try it!!!

The Washington Nation-

als are a baseball team.

Have you seen them play?

The Washington Nation-

als are a good team. I’m

rooting for the National if

they go to the World Se-

ries I hope they do but

this year they tried but

they did not make it sadly.

On the bright side they

did well they made it far

in the season at least.

The earth is losing

oil every day; we

need to speak up to

the people. They

are taking oil. Then

one day, we will

run out. So we need

to speak to the

world and tell the

news people and

the word.

Frankeenweenie is about a boy named Victor and his best

friend which is his dog. Sparky dies while getting a ball in

the street and an oncoming car hits him. Out of love for

Sparky, victor puts his science talents to the test, and tries

to bring sparky back from the dead. Victor is most sur-

prised when it works!!! I don’t want to give the whole

story away, but let me just say that after that, it gets a little

messy. I give this movie three out of five stars. It wasn’t

the best movie, but it was worth the price of admission. I

recommend this movie to anyone who likes Halloween, or

Tim Burton [the director.] I will admit that it is a little bit

scary, and recommend it for ages nine and up.

Houston Texans

By Bryson

Have you seen the Houston

Texans play? Well, if you had,

you would think they were awesome! The TEXANS work

so hard to make it to practice and games.

Remember: practice makes perfect! The coaches work

too scheduling games and making the players the best

they can be. The players work hard to perfect all their

plays. The center works to get the ball to the quarterback

at the right time. The QB needs to make sure the handoff

is good and the passes are thrown well to an open player.

They can’t get hurt like Peyton Manning hurting his knee

in the middle of the season. My point is that all the players

have to work really hard! The TEXANS rule!

Field Day News! By Jack and Matthew

Jack: Students were pleased with having fun at field day! I especially liked the disc

golf and tug of war! I was not as impressed with the kayaking because my class did not

get to use paddles and instead used our feet. It was still fun even though we did not use

the paddles as planned. Classes were screaming down the hallways and eardrums were

ringing. At the end of the day students like myself were tired. We all thought about our

favorite station. Mine was tug of war because my class crushed our switch teacher’s

class! Matthew: My favorite activity was tug of war because my class got to go against Mrs. Vargas’ class. When we went against her class, we beat them. When it was boys and boys, Mrs. Leal’s boys beat Vargas’ boys. The only time we lost is when it was the girls. You don’t always have to win, but when other classes went they did well.
