FromThe Editor:
Mrs. Morgan
You may notice more pictures in this edition of the newspaper. The kids are learning how
to insert pictures into their stories. Some have
learned to place them properly, but some are still
working on that part. They are also learning to
use “Word Art” for their title. I am please with
the progress they make each week in either writing or computer use.
All about Barack Obama
By: Hunter Kivlehan
Do you know who Barack Obama is?
I do. He‟s the president of the U,
S, A.I hope he makes our nation a
better place! Did you know that
Barack is our 1‟st black president in

an article topic turn to acrostic poems. You‟ll see
both a winter poem and a spring one.
Jolene Ii‟s article about Obama and his
children made me chuckle when I read it. I enjoy
reading how a first grader thinks!
Be sure to read the Woodbury Trivia by
Emily McCombs. She may not know the answers,
but she stimulates some thoughts about our
school grounds.
If you haven‟t heard by now, we have finally raised the $15,000 needed to put up a new
playground set. Hunter Kivlehan writes about the
choices we have and how a vote would work if we
vote on a set (We probably won‟t.) His choice of
words is interesting !
Next month we are working on writing
articles from a new perspective. We‟ll see how it
goes !!

Have you heard about the new movie The Tail of Desperaux! We read The Tail of Desperaux in 3rd grade.
Desperaux is a mouse who loves the princess but gets sent
away to the dungeon. That’s where the rats are!
Now let’s talk about princess Pea. She has a father (the
king) and a mother (the Queen) who dies later (because
a rat is in her soup). In another part of the kingdom is a
girl named Migery Sow whose mother died and a father
who sold Mig for a pack of cigarettes, a red table cloth,
and a hen! Could you imagine that?
I’ll tell you about the rats! They are going to eat Desperaux! One of the rats torture the prisoners with a locket
MADE OF HAIR!!!!! EWW!!!Have you ever heard of
that! I personally think that’s gross!
Now you know a little bit about the BOOK The tail of
Desperaux!

Have you ever gone to a cougar‟s game? Twelve kids in 3-b
are going. We have to read the book Caddie Woodlawn. You
have to read chapters to get to first, second, and third
bases to get a homerun. Then you will have to take a quiz on
the book to get a homerun. If you pass with seven or more
question right you get to go to the Cougars Game! I have
gone to the game before it is really fun. It is awesome at
the game you get a free drink and hot dog. Then
you get a free shirt and people sign it. At the
end of the game you get to run around the
bases. It‟s a ton of fun!
By Ellie Knepper
Hunter here! Do you know what voting is? I
do, it‟s when people use different choices
against each other. Woodbury is doing a
schoolyard vote! We are going to see what
the best playground is! There are 2 choices:
option A, and option B. Most people picked B,
but they were pretty suspicious about A. So
lets see what happens next week! Bye!
