Football Players

by Favio Sanchez

There are a lot of football teams like the New York Giants, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Tampa Bay Bucs. Matt Dodge is on the New York Giants. Michael Koenon is on the Atlanta Falcons. Connor Barth is on the Tampa Bay Bucs. They are great football players.

            Erik Coleman is defense player on the Atlanta Falcons. He is 28 years old and born on May 6, 1982. Erik is #26 on the Atlanta Falcons. Michael Koenon is on the Atlanta Falcons and he is number #9.

               

The best player that I like is Michael Koenon. He could win almost every game. Michael Koenon could be good, but other people might not think he is not a good player. Michael could beat anyone at football like the other players from other teams.

            Erik Coleman is also my best football player. He plays as a defense player on the Atlanta Falcons. It is a good that Erik is a defense player because he is strong, intelligent, and a fast runner. Erik has played a lot of games with his team and even with Michael Koenon.

All Pro Dads/ National Parental Involvement Day

by Jordan Lucas

Hey everybody the last ALL PRO DADS was on Friday Nov. 19^th 2010 at 7:15- 9:00, it was awesome. Plus there was an extra special treat, you got to invite your moms to ALL PRO DADS too, now that was awesome. There was also lots of bonding, a little breakfast, and lots and lots of fun. The reason the moms could come was because of National Parental Involvement Day. Plus we had it at a different time which was from 7:15-9:00.

At the last ALL PRO DADS we had a very special guest speaker named……. Dr. Alduan Tarh and he did a great job as speaker because he talked about something, something all kids need to know and parents and it was…. 7 expectations for our kids to be successful. This is important because if you want to be successful then Dr.Alduan Tart told you how to be successful.

Now all I have to say is that if you couldn’t make it to this ALL PRO DADS then dads come join us next time on January 21, 2011.

Snowman Dance

by Caitlyn Rachel

The Snowman Dance was last Friday December 10, 2010.  It was held from 6PM-8PM. Admission was $5.00 (includes a slice of pizza chips or popcorn and a drink.) Pizza was $1, chips were $.50, popcorn will be $.50, drinks were $.50, candy was $1 and water was $1.

          When the song “Whip my Hair” came on everyone was whipping their hair back and fourth. They passed out candy canes and you got to take a picture with a snowman. They had dance contests and everyone knew all the songs the DJ played. The Snowman Dance was awesome and I hope you were there!

         

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

              The Leaning Tower of Pisa

          The Leaning Tower of Pisa was never supposed to lean, but the soil under it is wearing down. Although The Leaning Tower of Pisa is famous for its lean, the lean is a serious danger hazard. It was closed to the public in 1990 because an entire busload of tourists at the top would be enough to make it fall. After 11 years, the famous lean has been corrected a little, but not all the way. The Leaning Tower of Pisa stands at a striking 187 feet.

² The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in Pisa, Italy.

² The Leaning Tower of Pisa was built on unstable ground.

² People can recognize The Leaning Tower of Pisa because of its lean!

² If The Leaning Tower of Pisa never leaned then it would never be famous.

² Did you know on the 8^th floor of The Leaning Tower of Pisa, there are 7 huge bells?

Spotlight Teacher: Ms. Shephard

by: Caitlyn Rachel and Toni Tavares

 

    The Spot-Light teacher is Ms.Shephard. She is very nice; she was our teacher for 2 years! We asked her some questions like “What do you think about Harmony Leland?” She said Harmony Leland is a wonderful environment, it provides quality education and a warm loving environment.  We also asked her “How do you feel about working here?” She said that Harmony Leland is a great place for any teacher to grow and feel loved and welcomed.

            Ms.Shephard wanted to be a teacher because she wanted to inspire the youth and make a difference.  She also said that she wants to help children because children are our future. Without a quality education, we children would not succeed. Most people know Ms.Shephard but, if you don’t, then every morning, she takes up your cards in the lunch room. If you see Ms.Shephard in the hall, give her a hug or say hello because she’s an awesome teacher!

Thanksgiving

by: Keiara Keene

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to celebrate the feast that was taken away by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford said that there will be a day of thanksgiving. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians.

v Did you know that the Pilgrims trip to the New World aboard the Mayflower lasted 65 days?

v Did you know that half of the 110 Pilgrims who had left England in 1620 survived that first year in the New World?

v Did you know that the first Thanksgiving took place in December 1621?

v Did you know that Thanksgiving didn't become an official national holiday until more than 200 years later, when in 1863 President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November a national day of thanksgiving?

v Did you know that as many 107 million American homes will celebrate Thanksgiving this year?

Spotlight Teacher: Ms. Thornton

by: Jayla Walker

 

        Mrs. Thornton is the kind of teacher where I would like to be in a class room with. Even the majority of her students say she’s the nicest teacher in the school. She has lots of rules. She might be nice to her students but not to everyone else. So let’s find out.

        Students in Mrs. Thornton’s class were interviewed by Jayla Walker (me) and I have lots of information to tell you about her. So, “Mrs. Thornton is the kind of person to love school but sometimes not the students” said Andrew Williams. ”She is so nice” said Kendal Vassar. I asked the students to tell me “What is Mrs. Thornton’s main rule as a teacher”?  They said “Working hard when it’s time to work”.  Then there was a trivia question which was” “What is your personality as a teacher”? The majority of the students said she was nice but Connor Talley and Andrew Williams said she’s mean. Then I asked the students what the favorite thing to do what your teacher was. They said math and writing. Well here is what Mrs. Thornton says.

          I asked Mrs. Thornton “Why do you love being one of the teachers at Harmony Leland”?  She said that” I love being a part of the school and I love the school”. Then there was a trivia question which was” “What is your personality as a teacher”? Mrs. Thornton also said she loves teaching at Harmony because there are great kids. Then back to her questions I asked “If you could be something else other than a teacher what would it be”? She said “I want to be a pharmacist because she likes to educate people in what people should and should not use.”  Then she said the way she would change the teaching is stipulations on how the school should teach things. Mrs. Thornton is a nice teacher. So, if you see Mrs. Thornton in the hallway just give her a smile!
