Claymo Fun, For Everyone?
By: Madeline
On September 8th, Glenridge fifth graders helped kick of the first Claymo. With a task to complete, Claymo was a very interesting take on a mind twisting project. Memories were made both good and bad.
The task was to build a freestanding tower made out of only newspaper and tape. Claymo, the monthly get together were fifth graders lead meaningful lessons, was something some fifth graders looked forward to. Some kids such as Ceci and Sara had a great time at Claymo. Ceci recalls “It was very fun. But some kids misbehaved” and Sara recalls “It was good. It was fun. Fun is Claymo”. However, Macy did not enjoy Claymo as much as Ceci and Sara. Macy says “My group built the highest tower. But a kid throw a puppet at my head. Plus we forgot to say the Claymo promise”.
As you can see, Claymo isn’t fun for everyone. In fact, some people don’t even like Claymo. But what kids don’t understand is that they will be just like these 5th grade leaders some day. Maybe they will realize the Golden Rule. Then, maybe those who will follow the Golden Rule will help others enjoy Claymo, like them. So for those kids K-4th, remember you will follow these 5th graders footsteps, so make sure you help 5th graders make their footsteps leave a mark. So, this year, help out and help Claymo leaders be the example you want to follow.
