December 2013 Editors– Antonio Labarbera and Siri Nikku
The Horseshoe News By the students, for the students
Visitor from Jamestown!
Second grade had a wonderful
time when a docent from Jame-
stown came to tell stories and
share artifacts. She spoke
about the settlers and Native
Americans of 400 years ago.
How exciting!
Author Visits!
By Ella Pafumi
Kalli Dakos, author and poet, gave quite a
presentation! Students said she was funny
and entertaining and made them want to write
poems! Do you have any silly school stories?
Mrs. Seck, are you REALLY going to kiss a pig??

Joke of the Month By: Antonio LaBarbera
A boy walks out of his room with nails, wood, and a hammer. His mom asked what was he doing.
The boy said “You told me to make my bed!”
Bizarre Laws! By Toni Ruley
In Detroit, Michigan, it is against the law to sleep in a bathtub!
In Arkansas, it is illegal to buy or sell blue light bulbs!
In Maryland, eating while swimming in the ocean is illegal!
In Waterville, Maine, it is against the law to blow your nose in public!
Things I look for in a book:
Will it be interesting?
Is it part of a series?
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny lead miserable lives. Af-
ter they hear that their parents were killed in a
fire, they must live with a relative, “Count Olaf”.
But is he really a relative?
The Bad Beginning is the first of 13 books in this
series of “unfortunate events”. Each book has a
different adventure inside. Recommended for
3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.

Manners Matter
By Toni Ruley
While I was doing patrols, I held the door in the 1st and 2nd
grade hall. I said, “Hi, have a great day” or “Good morning” to eve-
ry student. Only 13 students greeted me back. Isn’t that sad?
We need to use our manners!
