Happy Huber

In math, her students are writing the numbers 0 through 10, practicing counting numbers 0 through 10, and making groups of numbers of greater or less than. In reading, her students are identifying what the letter sounds like, and in writing her students are writing sentences to match pictures. When interviewed, she shared that her students’ favorite thing is “pink sparkly”, which is when the students do something really good. The funniest thing in her class recently is that her students are making up kid writing friends. Her students also enjoy working in centers. There is a math center; craft center, make a snack center, pattern center, and holiday centers. The Halloween center included carving a pumpkin, while the Thanksgiving center included making pilgrim or indian hats, making a candy turkey, turkey math, scarecrow games, and making a corn decoration. The student Thanksgiving play was a total success. No wonder her students love to learn!

In math, they are beginning topic 3 which is learning the numbers 6-10. In reading, they are learning about “there” in Unit 2. In writing, they are using their Kid Writing Journals and have been writing about their Fall field trip. Mrs. Cage likes that all fifeteen of her students give their best effort. According to Mrs. Cage, the funniest thing that one of her students did was use a new word that isn’t a word at all. The word was… “Glassable”. On Halloween, Mrs. Cage had an activity day that included all Halloween-themed student centers. On Thanksgiving, Mrs. Cage’s class enjoyed their own Thanksgiving feast. When asked, Mrs. Cage shared that her favorite thing about being a teacher is watching her students grow from the beginning to the end of the school year.

PENGUIN PRESS

By Tyler Lewis and Hannah McGroary, Penguin Press Staff

Wow, the first graders are learning a lot of new skills this school year. In math class they have been practicing their addition and subtraction. In Mrs. Schlesing’s class students have been learning how to add different numbers to equal the number ten.

Interesting Facts: Did you know Mrs. Schlesing doesn’t like sports? But, if she had to pick her favorite sport it would be Olympic figure skating. When Mrs. Lindsey was interviewed she shared that she likes the sport of baseball the best. On the other hand, Mr. Sciecinski said that if he had to choose only one sport, he would choose football as his favorite.

Did you know Mrs. Schlesing and Mrs. Lindsey both like Fall as their favorite time of the school year? When Mr. Sciecinski was interviewed he simply stated that he likes all year, especially during the school year when he gets to spend time with all of his little first graders.

It is no secret that this school year has a fantastic first grade!

Do you know the second grade teachers? Well we do… they are Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Lumley, and Mrs. Rosset! Second grade is working on some great things so far this school year, inlcluding learning consonant blends, completing Halloween writing activities, addition and subtraction, phonics, and writing story structure in their Journeys books. All of the second grade teachers like what they are working on and are very knowledable and good at teaching these skills. The second grade teachers are working on these skills because it’s part of the second grade curriculum. All the teachers agree that learning these new skills is easy for some students and hard for other students, but the teachers are trying to challenge their students. The next skills that the second grade will be working on in science is changes, place value in math, adding larger numbers in math, arrays and repeated addition in math, and learning about communities in social studies. Interviews with Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Lumley, and Mrs. Rosset uncovered that in every second grade class science is the students’ favorite subject. That is all for now of what’s happening in the super second grade!

Superhero Math By Sophia Pantuliano and Julia Kuehl, Penguin Press Staff

This year we had a super assembly starring Joe Romano! There was lots of cool superheroes. There were many tricks. Our favorite was the one with the magic wand. It was amazing! Joe goes to schools everywhere. Last year he did a magic show in our school too! How does he do it? Maybe we will never know. But, we sure do know he’s amazing. We wonder if he will ever come back. We hope he does. If he does come back, what will he do next? People got called up to go on stage. It sure was fun! We hope you liked super hero math!

Fantastic Fifth Grade By Danielle Gavlishin and Alexsandra Volturo, Penguin Press Staff

HELLO PENNELL FRIENDS. We are going to tell you about Mrs. Green. She likes all subjects, but she likes math and social studies the best! In math, the fifth grade is working on doing division and multiplying decimals. In science, students are looking at objects under the microscope. In writing, students are starting informational text. In reading, students are learning about cause and effect, and are finished reading their story. Last but not least, in social studies, students are learning about colonies and even started online distance learning on the topic of Williamsburg. That is what Mrs. Green is doing in her class so far this school year.

Do you know about Mr. Gorniok’s class? Well, we are going to tell you 4 things about his fifth grade class: (1.) Class room goals… Their Reading Counts goal is 13 million words. Their second class room goal is for everyone to have the best school year ever. (2.) Their Reading Counts word goal altogether as a class is 2.6 million words. (3.) Their favorite class subjects are writing and reading, but they love them all! (4.) Finally, the fourth thing is that in math students are working on division.

Have you heard about Mrs. McDougall? We are going to tell you about her right now. According to Mrs. McDougall, her fifth graders’ goal is to increase their Reading Counts goal. Sadly, they are starting science very soon. In spelling, her stduents are learning about the bossy R. Sounds. In social studies, her fifth grade students are also learning about the different colonies. That is what they are doing in Mrs. McDougall’s class. We sure wish we were in her class!

That is all for now… we hope you enjoyed all our information about the fantastic fifth grade!

FABULOUS FOURTH GRADE By Kristine Guenther and Brandon Cairy, Penguin Press Staff

Hi, welcome to fourth grade! This is what they’re doing this year. First, let’s talk about Reading Counts. Mrs. Bray’s class has about 7,000,000 words, Mrs. Nielsen’s class has about 8,000,000, and Mrs. Zebley’s class has about 3,000,000 words. Some interesting things they are doing this year is the vocabulary parade, poetry café, and the fourth grade luau. Another interesting fact is that for science the fourth grade does a whole bunch of cool things! Mrs. Nielsen teaches water and landforms, Mrs. Bray teaches animal studies, and Mrs. Zebley teaches about electricity. Currently in math all the classes are learning different skills. Mrs. Zebley’s class is using mental math to multiply, Mrs. Nielsen’s class is using rounding to multiply, and in Mrs. Bray’s class students are multiplying by 10 and 100. That’s a little bit of information about fourth grade so far this year!

Last year the PTL had a logo contest for students to draw/create their own Pennell spirit wear t-shirt logo. Pictured above is William Newnom holding his winning logo design that will be seen on Pennell spirit wear this school year.

YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY… RECESS! By Teagan Williams, Penguin Press Staff Hello Pennell people, this is Teagan Williams writing to you about your favorite part of the day… RECESS! I’ve heard that there is a new game that the majority of 4th grade is playing. The game is called Sharks and Creepers, which is basically a new version of sharks and minos. Tons of 4th graders claim that this is the best game they have ever played. What is your opinion about this new game?

In 5th grade there are several, may I say, ‘intense’ games being played such as basketball, four square, kick ball, and soccer. Everyone is always playing a different game every day and I think playing games or sports is the best way to spend recess. What do you think?

This year, our school-wide Reading Counts goal is 114,000,000!

He said it was hard work and it takes a lot of time. You don’t just write a story and it get published. You send it off to the publisher and they send it back repeatedly until they finally say it is good. Thanks for reading and I hope you read my future articles

BOOK REVIEW

By Rachael Walker, Penguin Press Staff

Have you ever read the book titled, Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo? It is a 2001 Newbery Medal Honor Book. It was about a character named India Opal Buloni and the dog she found at a store. The dog’s name was Winn-Dixie, and the dog was named after the store she found him in. She asked her dad, the preacher, to keep the dog. Sadly, at first he sad No, but then he changed his mind and said Yes to keeping the dog! I found this to be a really good book to read. It is also a Reading Counts book and is about 20,000 words. This book has also been made into a movie! I hope you get a chance to read this book and also watch the movie soon!

Movie Review By Jacob Fecanin, Penguin Press Staff

The new upcoming movie Frozen is about a town that is trying to get summer back. The town goes completely frozen because the main character’s sister puts a spell on the town. A group of friends and a talking snowman named Olaf try to help bring back summer. I hope you get a chance to go see this movie in the movie theater soon. The end.

WORLD SERIES

By Kevin Mayoros, Penguin Press Staff

The Boston Red Sox won their eighth World Series this year. They played six amazing games against the St. Louis Cardinals. In the bottom of the third, former Phillies baseball player Shane Victorino had a base clearing double to put the Boston Red Sox in the lead for good. It was an amazing miracle! Who do you think will win the World Series next year?

Soccer

By Abigail Fisher, Penguin Press Staff David Beckham is a very famous soccer player. He kicked a soccerball in a game from the half line and made it in! Rumor has it that he dented the ball when he kicked it! That was why the defenders couldn’t stop the ball.

At age 16 he

followed his passion and joined his favorite English soccer team. With 50 million fans on his side he was easily a famous soccer player. Famous for his free kicks, corner kicks, and passing made him extremely

accurate. It wasn’t until 1993 that he properly joined the team. During the finals, sadly David Beckham did something he would very much regret. While he was playing he kicked another player. After that he got a red card and couldn’t play, and his team lost. It took a while for people to forgive David Beckham for his mistake.

Penn State nittany LionS

By Darren Panusky, Penguin Press Staff Penn State has been playing great so far. They had an amazing victory over the Michigan Wolverines 43-40 in 4th overtime. I hope Penn State can make it to a bowl game. Penn State and their head coach Bill O’Brien are trying their best!

Miguel Cabrera

By Nick Ruggieri, Penguin Press Staff Miguel Cabrera is one of the best players in MLB baseball history. In 2012 Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown. He lead baseball in

RBI’S, HR’S, and AVG. He plays for the Detroit Tigers in the state of Michigan. In 2013 the Tigers made it to the NLCS and got

eliminated by the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox went on to win the World Series this year. But, in 2012 the Tigers did make it to the World Series. On the back of Miguel Cabrera’s jersey is number 24.

Babe Ruth Photo curteosy of http://thefanmanifesto.com

Baltimore Ravens By Darren Panusky, Penguin Press Staff The Baltimore Ravens were the Super Bowl champions last year. By defeating the Cincinnati Bengals they kept their playoff chances alive. I hope they can make it as close as they can to the Super Bowl this season.

Philadelphia Flyers By Darren Panusky, Penguin Press Staff The Flyers are doing way worse than last year. They have a losing record so far this year. Last year they at least almost made it to the playoffs! I hope they can turn things around and start to win fast!

Kansas City Chiefs By Darren Panusky, Penguin Press Staff The chiefs finished their last season with 2 wins and 14 losses, which was tied for the worst team in the league. Now with their new head

coach, Andy Reid, who is the former head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs are off to a great start in the 2013-2014 football season.

Babe Ruth By Nick Ruggieri, Penguin Press Staff You may not have heard of Babe Ruth, but he is one of the best baseball players of all time. He is in the baseball Hall of Fame. In his tremendous career he hit 714 homeruns. He lead all of baseball in homeruns until Hank Aaron beat his record with 755 homeruns.

In the 1932 game 2 of the World Series, Babe Ruth pointed his finger to the center field wall and that is exactly where he hit the baseball. That was the most famous homerun of all time. Those are some facts about Babe Ruth. Make sure you check him out!
