Unity Day

October 25, 2016 it is a B-Day. It was the day day Ava, Cha Cha, Christian and Siqi film our video for Unity Day at Glenridge school.

Ceci says  “ I think it did not go well only fifth graders weared orange”

Ava says “ I disagree. Some people did a video, speeches, announcements, ex. And they completed it.”.

Unity Day is a Day where people wear Orange because there are bullies out there. People celebrate it and hope people will stop bullying. The people in the fifth grade classes at glenridge elementary school are making an effort to stop bullying by making posters, doing speeches, making videos and so much more. The fifth graders at Glenridge elementary school hope to make a difference.

Boo Shoes! By Claire

Boo Shoes!

Students at Glenridge Elementary got a special treat on October 24, 2016. They got to take their shoes off in class (Socks in Class)

and wear only socks! This special event was a result of the 5th grade Socktober crew, Socktober is the month of October in which people donate socks to the homeless, they could also donate money or other important essentials. “ It was very comfy ” says Madeline. “It was  kind of unfair because you had to pay a dollar to take your shoes off and some people did not have a dollar.” But the important part is that they raised over $450 for Socktober.  Let’s spread the love, it could just be a pair of new socks or $100. Whatever you give, it’s welcome.

Socks In Class

                                              Socks in class

          It was October 24, 2016 at Glenridge Elementary School.

Today was Socktober! If you paid a dollar you would get to wear socks in class.  

Everyone was rushing over to Mrs. Barnes saying “Here’s my dollar!” so loudly it seemed like they were screaming from all the way across the country. Luckily most people remembered to bring their dollar.

Then there were the people who forgot their dollar with sad looks on their faces. But it looked like everyone was having a good time. As the 5th graders went around in circle up I started wondering if they could they their socks to specials too.

Once they finished Mrs. Barnes said “You probably are going to need your shoes for specials” They all moaned and groaned but still stayed silent. Maybe next time they might wear pajamas for the next Socktober

5B’s first parent teacher conference

5B’s first parent teacher conference

By Siqi

  

It happened on October 17, 2016. The 5B students and parents are going to have a conference with their teacher at a scheduled time.

It all happened in 5B’s classroom. The students and parents came in at their scheduled time to meet with the teacher, Mrs Barnes. “I feel like I know more about my daughter” said Juanli Pan, Siqi Xu’s mother. Why this happened? Mrs Barnes wanted to meet with her student’s parents of course

Not all students decided to stay with their parents during conference, several students hung out in the library while waiting for their parents to finish. Parents that are too busy or simply don’t have time were understandably absent and did not attend the meeting.          

Some students were also absent during conference, “ I haven’t been to the conference” said Liam Ferguson, a student of 5B. How will the next conference go? Stay tuned to find out.

The next event was to dress wacky for wacky Wednesday (participants also had to pay a dollar). The final event will take place on Friday the 28th, it is Pj Day!!! You can also bring a additional dollar for a stuffed animal!!! All these took and will take place at their school!!! The principal of the school agreed to let the students do these activities.They raised over $900 dollars. All of the participants were excited to help the homeless get food and homes ( in a Homeless shelter)

Printing in Art for the First Time by. Adam

Printing in Art       by. Adam

Today at Glenridge elementary the class of 5B was printing for the first time in art with a linoleum square that 5B carved themselves. “Ok I am going to demonstrate how to do the actual printing on the paper without not aligning it correctly, or not putting to much or not enough ink on the roller and the stamp so it comes out correctly on the piece of paper” when Mrs. Oliver came and squeezed some of the ink out, the whole class all grossed out by the oil that came out before the actual color came out. Mrs. Oliver thought it was disruptive so she said: that if it grosses you out than you can go and sit out. She took her roller and rolled it in the ink and spread it out on the little foam plate and then rubbed it on her stamp and when she got the paper out she said that we will definitely get it wrong the first time but we are going to do it several more times and that we would get better at it.

When she finished demonstrating how to print it on paper she dismissed us to go and do our own printing. What I saw when all the people in the room started working all these incredible designs but they messed up on the first printing just like Mrs.Oliver had predicted. We all noticed how the pink was really dry and it wasn’t working that well, so everybody that was using pink ink switched to a different color and started working again by the time they had done at least three printings per artist. Art was already over but nobody wanted to stop so Mrs.Oliver had to pull some people away from their art work. And got them lined up for recess anxious for next art.

The 5th graders in 5B will continue to print with there hard work in the next following classes of art.
