Miss Me?

We are a week and a half into our summer vacation! Can you believe it? Do you miss me yet? I miss all of you, yes, even you Jordan! I hope everyone is having a great vacation and staying safe! Make sure you are with someone when you go swimming, and you wear that helmet when you ride your bike!

Do you have any fun plans or are you going on vacation? Mr. Sharp and I will be leaving on our cruise next week! We are so excited! Until then, I am working at the restaurant and finishing up my class. I am ready to relax! Kye'La, I plan on trying that rock climbing wall and eating all the great food you talked about!

I have seen or talked to some of your parents and they have said you have having fun so far! I hear Libby and Mo have been swimming all day, and Mel is playing soccer of course! How about the rest of you?

Hope you have a great summer and I will see you soon!

ECON and ME

By: Melina

On May 19th, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders took a field trip to Del Tech in Georgetown. The point of the trip was to learn about economics. it was called Econ and M.E. We were divided into grades and schools.

There were three parts to this competition, the the prodution the test and the problem solving. Plus we got free t shirts. the production was when we had to make shiny pennies booklets for kindergateners. The students had to cut out perfect paper pennies and a instruction book and a whole bunch of other items. A few teams from Banneker won for that, actually fourth grade class got first place for that. The easiest part, I think, was the test. The test was 36 different questions all about econmics. My group won third place for this segment! Finally there was the problem solving part of the competition. The problem was ace vending machine needed a new type of vending machine. 2 or 3 gruops from Banneker won a ribbon for this part.

It took the whole day so of course we ate lunch there. All in all I had a great time! Especially because I won a ribbon!

Our Family Picnic

By : Hannah and Sage

On the day of May 21st, our school had a Family Picnic. Our parents came at our lunch time and ate lunch with us. You were able to order hot dogs or PB & J, along with Sun chips and ice cream!After we ate, we could look at all the stands or go to the Book Swap. The stands had information about different clubs you could join in the summer, or information about joining music in Middle School. If you brought in books from your house that you did not want any more you gave them to the person that came around with a cart and how many books you brought you would get a coupon to be able to get that many books. Right before the picnic was a Blow Up Obstacle Course. What you did was race against another kids in a different class.Even Mrs. Sharp had a turn! Our whole class was dancing to the electric slide and it was so funny! It was an awesome Friday! I wished it would never end.We had lots of fun!!!!!

City of Brotherly Love

By : Kayla and Roberto

When we went to philly we got to see the Liberty Bell ,the Mint, the Franklin (Ghost) House. We got to get silly bands from the bourse. I got a mini liberty bell and Roberto got a book. In the Mint we got to see people make coins. We got to see the big things of copper that gets put into a machine that shapes the money and cuts the circles out and when the coins were done they got put into a big container. When we went to the Liberty Bell we got to see the big crack in it. A long time ago the Liberty Bell used to be in London,England.

We had alot of fun.
