Feinstein Challenge

Feinstein Challenge!!!

By: Lily M.

Listen students, listen up! Go home, gather your change, and bring it back to school for the Feinstein Challenge! What is the Feinstein challenge you say? Well the Feinstein Challenge is a program that matches donations. For instance, if you bring in two dollars, a guy named Feinstein matches your price so you will now have four dollars!

Student council needs you to bring in change for the Feinstein Challenge so that Longfellow can raise money to go towards various charities. Time to crack open those piggy banks for a good cause!

Indoor Recess

By: Hannah T. and Ellary S.B.

Everybody has heard fellow classmates scream and yell about being inside for recess. We certainly have. Do you ever wonder what the temperature limit has to be to go outside? Ms.Kaye said that the temperature and wind-chill must both be in double digits. Meaning, if the temperature is 15 degrees, but the wind-chill is 2 degrees, then you can’t go out for recess.

There are many different things to do inside. You can watch a movie , go to the library or the pod area , and finally you can go to the gym. Although they’re not as fun as being outside, it’s better than nothing.

MYSTERY COLLUMN

By Tyler Y., Bennett T., and Jacob S.

 

Mrs. Pierce came to work early Friday morning to reshelf books only to find that her extremely rare first edition Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone book was stolen. It can be sold for a very high price. Mrs. Pierce is worried about her very valuable book.

 

THE SUSPECTS ARE                                          Motive

 

Phil Fluber                                    Student, Loves Harry Potter

Benny Johnson                            Student, Needs Money For New Videogame

Bob Marson                                 Assistant Librarian, With Minimum Wage

Joe Jambalaya                             Janitor, Has A Grudge Against Mrs. Pierce

 

 

 

Alibis

 

Phil claims he was sick all week. His mom verified that.

Benny went straight home after school with his mom

Bob claims he took a morning shift

Joe claims he cleans up the library on Tuesday afternoon

 

Mrs. Pierce said she was the only one with access to the book. She said that no one asked for the key from her. The book was shown in a glass display, in her office. The library is always unlocked, but only Mrs.Pearce and Bob have a key to the office. She found the display case shattered. Now it doesn’t matter who had the key.

 

In the scene of the crime, footprints were found 1½ feet away from the case. A professional detective arrived on the scene and found out the exact time the footprints were made. He found that it was made at 5:30 A.M. The company that the shoe was from was Gliders.

 

Phil came to school wearing Joggers and said that he always wore them. Benny wore Gliders but said that he just got them this morning and was originally wearing a shoe from a company called Car Substitute.  Security cameras near the display case caught a shadowy figure and on the very corner of the scene, a mop.

 

Joe Jambalaya wasn’t at the school on Friday. Benny wasn’t there on Friday to. Benny’s grandmother (Benny’s grandmother is babysitting Benny since his mom and dad took a vacation to Canada. She was sleeping on Friday morning) didn’t call Benny sick.

The detective went to Joe’s house. He and his wife weren’t found there. The detective suspects that the Mrs. Jambalaya was in on the crime. All janitors were called to search the school for Joe. His mop was found under a bookshelf with a shard of glass stuck into it.

 

Suspects:	Motives:	Alibis:	Clues:
Phil Fluber	Student, Loves Harry Potter	Phil claims he was sick all week. His mom verified that	Was not at school on Friday.
Benny Johnson	Student, Needs Money For New Videogame	Benny went straight home after school with his mom	Wears Gliders
Bob Marson	Assistant Librarian, With Minimum Wage	Bob claims he took a morning shift	The only one with access to the key
Joe Jambalaya	Janitor, Has A Grudge Against Mrs. Pierce	Joe claims he cleans up the library on Tuesday afternoon	Mop found near crime scene

 

 

Joe was found cleaning the library 1 week later. He said he said that he had a family crisis in which he left a quick e-mail to the principal that he won’t be at school in the following week. They searched the principal’s inbox and found e-mail from Joe Jambalaya. It read: Dear Mr. Principle, I won’t be at school this week.

Sincerely, Joe Jambalaya

 

The detectives and some other people investigated the suspects’ houses. When they got to Bob Marson’s house, he wasn’t there. The Detective sent a notice to police protecting the border between Canada and the U.S.A. Bob was caught trying to bribe a policeman that was guarding the border with a golden edition Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to cross the border. He was taken into the police and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He said that he always wanted to go to Canada and made deal with a friend that he could go to Canada in 2 weeks and if he didn’t, he would have to pay his friend $10,000. He also said that his friend gave some advice that the Harry Potter book could be given to a certain policeman guarding the border to cross the border . His friend bet that he could get to Alaska in 5 days and if he didn’t, he would pay $10,000. He didn’t know that his “friend” lived in Alaska. His friend was a pen pal. It turns out that Bob stole Joe’s mop to try to frame him. Bob’s house was searched once again to confirm that Bob did the sin. Shoes from the company, Gliders were found in his basement.

iTouches Coming to Longfellow!

By: Audrey C. & Alyssa C.

ITouches are emerging from their boxes and into students’ and faculties’ hands! Read below to find the inside scoop on the iTouch extravaganza. Thank you Mrs. Parr and Ms. Divis for devoting your lunch hour to us.

Mrs. Parr, a former kindergarten teacher and now reading specialist, was kind enough to let us have lunch with her on the 23rd of September. We talked about the ITouches that are coming to LONGFELLOW. Mrs. Parr said that her daughter has one. She also said that LONGFELLOW has never had an electronic device that was for student use. Mrs. Parr agrees with the idea of getting touches. She thinks they’ll be great for educational use.

Mrs. Divis is a reading specialist and knows a bit about the ITouches coming to Longfellow too. Mrs. Divis knows that the iPod is smaller than the Itouch and that it would be better for the device to have a strong, protective case. She has friends and family who own one. She thinks it’s great to have these items to use as tools at school.

So the tale came to an exiting ending and now it is even more exiting since we know about the Itouch surprise!!We are so exited for the ITouches coming to Longfellow.

Can you bear it!?! IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR APPS WRITE MS. SCHROEDER.

Halloween

By: Ellary S.B and Hannah T.


Halloween was super duper fun this year. Lots of students dressed up and joined the parade with their teachers.

A large percentage of people at Longfellow were devils or Draculas. Infact probably 1 quarter to 1 half of them were.

There were some really unique costumes like a “rubics cube” a sumo wrestler, and a boy in Mr. Pod’s class acted as Mr. Pod.

Many classroom teachers dressed up too. Mrs. Flowers was a homemade bug and Mr. Smith was a mad scientist.

After the parade every class had a party filled with all sorts of activities, crafts, treats, and pin the wart on the witch type stuff!
