Mystery Club

In Mystery Club, we decode stuff, compare handwriting, and we write stories about mysteries. 3rd and 4th graders can join. It meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ms. Carbonelle leads it. My favorite part is when we play Clue. I went because I've never solved a mystery before and I've always wanted to!

Abraham Lincoln


I’ve chosen to write about Abraham Lincoln because his birthday was on February 12th. He led the Civil War. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot and he died the next day. This year, Abe would have been 148 years old. In my opinion, he was one of the best presidents of the United States.

Learning About Mammals


In Mrs.Cackowski’s class, we did animal posters because we were learning about animals. The animal classes were reptiles, mammals, birds, fish and amphibians.  We did mammals.  We used books and computers to find out about animal classes.  We had two more girls in our group named Janaki and Lucy.

We got to color, draw, write and read. Some things we learned are that a baby can come out of its mother. They have fur and tails. Mammals have two or four legs. Some mammals are monkeys, cats, dogs, and bears. Our favorite part of the project was to be in the group with our best friends.  The project took us three weeks to finish. We presented our projects to the whole class. It was the most fun thing ever!!!

Southeast Thanksgiving Feast


Friday, November 16th was the Thanksgiving feast at Southeast School. For the main course we had turkey. We also were served some yummy gingerbread with whipped cream or gingerbread with no whipped cream. We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn, and cranberry sauce. The whole school was there and the second graders sang us some songs. We all had a great time!

Worry Dolls


Worry Dolls are small yarn figures that make your worries go away. You tell your worry doll your worry and put it under your pillow at night while you sleep, and the next day your worries will be gone. Worry dolls are from Guatemala, a Spanish country. In Spanish class, we are making are own worry dolls out of clothespins, pipe cleaners, string, and markers. We have really liked learning about worry dolls!

Fire Safety Day



In October the firemen came to Southeast School. They told us some facts about fires. For example, a hose weighs between 30 and 70 lbs and about 140 lbs with water. Also they showed us around the fire truck.  Our teacher, Mrs. Cackowski, even put on all the equipment that a firewoman would wear. She sounded like Darth Vader when she was breathing through the mask!  She looked cool!  It was a great day.
