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!
