Techsperts by Tanya

Mrs. Travis asked us to make a poster to promote 
positive reading. I thought of different ideas of what 
the poster should look like. We ended up doing a quote 
from Harry Truman. The quote was,”not all readers are 
leaders but all leaders are readers.'' We painted it and 
now we are almost done. All we have to do now is to hang 
it up.

Some of our other techsperts are doing interviews of 
teachers. We are going to ask them questions like, where 
did you go to school? and how long have you been teaching? 
We are doing this for Facebook. We have to write about 
a different teacher each week. It’s supposed to tell 
people who are teachers are and what they do. So the 
community can know more about ESMS teachers. That’s 
just some of the things we are working on.

Book Recommendation #1

Caroline

The book I’m recommending today is The Guardians of Ga’Hoole series. This series 
follows a young Barn Owl, or Tyto Alba throughout his adventures. The series starts 
when Soren is still a nestling & hasn’t grown flight feathers yet. He gets to watch his 
younger sister Eglantine hatch. Soren also has a mum, dad, & Kludd, his older brother. 
Soren has a perfect life until he falls out of the nest! Soren is snatched up by a terrible 
group of owls who go by the name St. Aggie’s. From there he is out in St. Aggie’s Academy 
where he meets Gylfie, a young Elf Owl. Together they must survive St. Aggie’s Academy & 
escape to the inly place they’ll be safe. The Great Ga’Hoole tree. This is a place of learning, 
where St. Aggie’s is a place of subduing. Will they survive? What will happen when they get 
there? Start reading The Capture to find out!

Family by Mia

Do you know what a family is? I mean 
you probably do but, do you know what 
it means, family means a group consisting 
of parents and children living together in a 
household. Like you have two parents and 
how ever many kids you want to have. You 
could have a mom and a dad or a dad and 
a dad or a mom and a mom. You could have 
a sister a brother or even both!

Social Studies by Mia

Today in Social Studies we are learning 
about Rome. Rome is so cool to learn, you 
get to learn about gladiator fights in the 
Circus Maximus, chariot racing in the coliseum. 
Rome is located on the Italian peninsula and 
reaches out into the Mediterranean Sea, also 
did you know that the first Romans were called 
Latins. Also the Estruscans modifying the 
Greek alphabet and then the Romans borrowing 
and altering the Etruscan alphabet. The Rome 
government is a little different than our 
government today like in Rome they have 2 
consuls but today we only have one president 
and a similarity is we both have senates.

Book review 

I think people who like mythology should read the book Lightning Thief because it is a very 
good book and also it can teach you about mythology and it can teach and Zeus,Poseidon,
Hades,and other gods and goddesses.

It is about a person named percy and hey is a demigod and that means half god half 
human and he has a friend that is part goat and part human,There are even more people 
but there is also a girl named annabeth and half goat person his name is Grover and they are 
the three main characters. I don't want to give out too much information but there are also a 
lot of monsters in the book series too and they are kinda weird monsters like some have three 
heads some are giants and there are many many more. And I think it is a very entertaining 
book
