Gracie Creason....last day before break
We are so excited tomorrow because it is the last day of school for the semester. And we also get to have assemblies and watch our teachers get slimed. They're getting slimed because we reached our All for Books goal, we actually went above our goal by almost a hundred dollars. Which is really exciting.
We also get to have a half day, and stay with our ELT. We are so ready for our winter break. And then we get to come back to school and get ready for our next Book Fair. Peace Love and Books. Yay, we can't wait for break.

Book Fair Goals! by Gracie Creason
As a bookfair crew we are so happy. We reached our goal for all for
books, and we actually went over our goal almost by a $100. Which is so
exciting. We also reached our goal for total sales which is also great.
We have achieved a lot this year, but we still have next year which is
just as important. But we aren't just the winners, the kids in all for
books are. They get blessed with a Christmas.
So because we achieved our goal, they have a Christmas and we have a higher chance of winning. We have had a great 2015 bookfair. Now all we have to do is make our spring bookfair the bomb dot ok.

Book Fair by Madyson Harris
It's the fifth day of the book fair, and we still have 1 more day left! If you haven't got any books
you better bring your money tomorrow if you plan on getting some. With only one more day of
the book fair, that also means there's only one day left to raise money for all for books. We have
less than one hundred dollars to raise in one day. We know we can do it if every student bring
25 cents. Bring your money, and come buy some books from the BookFair!

There is less than 24 hours left of the book fair! You guys need to
start buying books and donating money to all for books! PLEASE! We
really need to get first place this year because we have put so much
work and effort into this book fair.
At the book fair there are all sorts of things you can do to donate to all for books. You can take a 23-19 shower. That is where you pay 2 dollars to get monster bucks poured on you. Then you can also just donate money to all for books. So far we are at a point where if every person in the school brings a quarter then we will reach our goal.

Book fair by Gracie Creason
The bookfair is almost over. It closes tomorrow
at 3, but we still haven't reached our goal for all for books. We have a
goal of $450 and were more than halfway there. But to reach our goal
you have to donate money. All for books is an organization where we
donate money, and then we give the needy kids of excelsior a Christmas.
This does help us win our bookfair, and help us look good. But
truthfully we aren't the real winners the kids are.
We are so close to an end and we need that money, we also need people to buy books a to reach that goal too. The bookfair is so important to our school we have gotten second and fist place for the past three years!!! That's how long we've done competitive bookfair!!! Isn't that cool. But if we want to win this year we have to reach all of our goals. So go to your ESMS bookfair and donate that money.

Book Fair is ending tomorrow by Megan Rice
The book fair is coming to an end and we haven't reached our goal yet! The deal was if we had
reached our goal of $450 a teacher would be slimed. Well now we have 10 teachers
volunteering to get slimed. We must get around $100 more dollars to each our goal. I know we
can raise the money. The students who bring in the most money are given the chance to slim
the teacher of there choice. So what are you waiting for? Make your way down to the bookfair
and donate to All 4 books. So before we leave for Winter break we can slim some teachers at
the assembly!

Techsperts/Book Fair by Jordan Foulk
Have you wondered what it would be like to spend some of your day
helping in the learning commons? Well I have had first hand experience
shelving books, running things to other places, and just simply hanging
out. It all started this year when we had a assembly, and I didn't want
to attend it at all! I am the kind of person that always need something
todo, and I love to help people with things so I decided to ask the
librarian Mrs. Travis if she needed help with putting away book. She did
need help the entire cart was filled with books, she taught me how to
shelve them but the authors last name, and by the Dewey Decimal system.
I helped put away books during the assembly which was so much fun! Seeing all the books that looked interesting and made me want to read them. As time goes on I keep going back after doing my work in class with free time. It was November and book fair was coming up quickly, and we had a lot of things to do decorating, designing, and putting it all together. The title was "A Beautiful Monstrosity, There's a story behind every door." and the theme was Monster Inc. It was like magic we have "Boo's Alley", a wide variety of books at the book fair and we also have a family night for parents to come and find books. Last but not least have a donation program called "All 4 Books", it is where the money goes toward giving books to the children around the metro.

There are so many fun things to do with the book fair. You can buy
books, posters, and other things. But also you can look through boos
alley. But you can also donate money to all for books to help the
underprivileged kids.
First Day of the Book Fair by Morgan Schindler
The first day of the book fair was a success! We sold many books and
raised money for all for books! Bring money to your 5th hour class to
help us meet our goal for the book fair. The class that raises the most
money will get to slime 4 teachers! Stop by the learning commons anytime

Abominable Snowman by Ally Hatch
The abominable snowman is told to be found in the mountains of Asia. It
is also dwell below the Himalayan snow line. Despite many of expeditions
into the remote religions of Russia, China, and Nepal the existence of
the yeti still remains unproven. The Yeti is said to be muscular,
covered with dark grayish or reddish-brown hair, and weigh between 200
and 400 pounds. It is relatively short compared to North America's
Bigfoot, averaging about 6 feet in height. Though this is the most
common form, reported Yetis have come in a variety of shapes.Most of the
evidence for the Yeti comes from sightings and reports. Like Bigfoot
and the Loch Ness monster, there is a distinct lack of hard proof for
the Yeti's existence, though a few pieces of evidence have emerged over
the years.The name ‘Abominable Snowman’ was coined in 1921 by journalist
Henry Newman who mis-translated the Tibetan label Metoh-Kangmi, “dirty
men in the snow”.The search to find the Yeti can be traced back to the
time of Alexander the Great, who in 326 BC set out to conquer the Indus
Valley. Having heard stories of the Yeti he demanded to see one for
himself, but local people told him they were unable to present one
because the creatures could not survive at that low an altitude.
Book Fair by Ms. Travis
It is here! ESMS is
hosting A Beautiful Monstrosity: There's A Story Behind Every Door book
fair. It began Thursday, December 3 and will run until Friday, December
11. Our students will host a Monster Bash Family Event on Tuesday,
December 8 from 4 until 6:30 p.m. There will food, fun and prizes.
There will be a room of activities you can play for a 2 dollar donation
to All for Books. There will be a raffle and scavenger hunt to
participate in as well. You can take a "shower" of monster
bucks in our 23-19 for a donation to All for Books. If we raise $450
dollars in our All for Books campaign, several teachers will get slimed!
We are excited and hope to see you at ESMS Learning Commons!
Book Fair Starts by Payton Conyers
The start of the book fair is today. Everyone is so excited
for it. We have so many great things at the book fair this year. We have
so many fun days to come with the book fair it is going to be good this
year. Maybe we will even win first place.
Bigfoot by Rebekah Harness
What is
bigfoot, or Sasquatch? For hundreds of years, people have reported seeing
hairy, man-like creatures that walk on two legs and live in the forests and
mountainous areas of North America and around the world. The term
"bigfoot" was coined in 1958, when bulldozer operator Jerry Crew
found and cast large tracks at Bluff Creek, California, near the site where
Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin later filmed the Patterson-Gimlin film in 1967.
The story, and the word "bigfoot" hit the Associate Press and it has
been a common word for all things big, hairy and manlike ever since.
The belief that bigfoot is simply an "ape" similar to a two-legged Gorilla has been
status quo in the bigfoot research community for decades. One popular theory is that Bigfoot may be Gigantopithecus Blacki, a large primate whose teeth and jawbones have been discovered in parts of China. The mass media often ridicules people eyewitnesses who claim to have seen Sasquatch. Some have looked to early human ancestors as potential candidates to explain what Bigfoot is. Many early Native American tribes across the US and Canada have stories about Bigfoot.
Do you believe in Bigfoot ?

Aliens by Kari Crouse
Aliens are normally described as a small grey mutation with an overly large head and large black eyes.
they seem to come from another universe according to the many people that believe in them.
Many people believe that aliens are really because they think that we can't be the only ones in all of outer space. They also believe in it because they want to know what they see in the sky (U.F.O). U.F.O stands for unidentified flying object. They want to think that it's a different species from a different planet because everyone feels the need to know for sure what things are and where there from. So there for they believe in aliens because they want to have reasoning behind things that we don't know the answer to.

Loch Ness by Kari Crouse
The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid - a creature whose existence has been
suggested but is not recognized by scientific consensus. Nessie, is
reputedly a large unknown animal that is said to inhabit Loch Ness in
the Scottish Highlands. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in
Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account
to the next. Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has
varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933.
Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed
photographic material and sonar readings.
People believe in Nessie because they want an explanation for what they see. When really it could be just a branch or seaweed. People have taken this myth so far that people have made life size models of Nessie.

opening day of the 2015-2016 MONSTER FACTORY. Everyone crew worker will
be wearing their monster book fair blue and green T-shirts and everyone

Creating Rozz...by Madi Cole
Creating Rozz was a difficult task because we couldn't figure out what to make her out of.
First we tried white paper and we were gonna paint it, but we couldn't make the right color out
paint so we took it all down. Then we tried plain brown paper, but that wasn't Rozz’s color either,
so we took that down. Next we tried the painting idea again, but it was taking way too long. So
for our last attempt we tried spray painting paper, that worked perfectly!
For her cardigan my mom went down to The Good Samaritan Center and bought one for
three dollars. Then we stuffed her body with bubble wrap, and made her face out of paper. It
was a lot of fun.

It's almost book fair time! We have two days until we have the 2015-2016
monster factory book fair. We are doing our final touches and getting
ready for this awesome book fair the crew has been working extra hard
and ms. Travis has been doing a lot to make this happen. I'm super
excited to see this book fair and when all the books are here so we can
see the book fair with all the decorations up.
Book Fair by Sierra Hightower
I'm very excited for the book fair. It starts in two days and we have
gotten everything done. One of the things I'm very excited about is
monster bucks.
Monster bucks is like money but you earn it by reading books. When you finish a book 200 pages or more you earn 10 monster bucks. You can also get them by taking a 23-19 shower or donating to all for books. If you save up your monster bucks you can earn many cool prizes like a free book from the book fair, gift certificates, toys and other cool things.

paper that you can turn in to buy prizes.

A 23-19 shower is where you pay two dollars and get 10 monster bucks. I am really looking forward to the book fair. Make sure to look for it December 3-11

Mila 2.0 by Madyson Harris
One of the books I have recently read is Mila 2.0. I would describe Mila 2.0 as a gripping sci-fi thriller.
At the beginning of the book MIla is the new girl in a small Minneapolis town. After the death of her father Mila is having a really difficult time hiding her feelings for Hunter when she finds out, she's not human at all. Mila is an android being hid from the government, and has to go on the run to escape them. In search for the truth Mila must do everything she can to save her "mom" and reclaim the life she wishes she could have. I would definitely recommend this book, and the rest of the series!

Book Fair by Olivia Richey
I just got done with mike wazowski. It was very hard, but I managed to do it.
First i drew mike on a piece of cardboard. Then I cut it out along with a piece of paper that I then glued to the card board. Then after that was done I painted him lime green and put the face on. We are truly getting ready for the monsters inc book fair!

Book Fair by Sierra Hightower
The book fair is coming soon and we have been working really hard to get
everything done. It has been tough but it looks great. Everything we
have done is coming together to make the monster book fair. My main job
was to decorate the front doors to the library.
My job was to make the front doors look like the front of the entrance to the monsters inc factory. It was hard at first because we didn't have any paper the color of the actual factory but we agreed that yellow looked really close. So we covered the doors and wall with the paper and then cut out letters in blue to say ESMS. We made the M bigger and put the eye in it. The last thing we did was put the title of the book fair on the doors "a beautiful monstrosity there's a story behind every door"
