Science by Mrs. Ledford We have been working hard and keeping busy in Science! Our next unit of study will be over energy transformations. We will cover topics such as hydro energy, solar energy, and wind energy. Lots going on, so make sure to always ask your child about what they are learning! Christmas by Brea Rodriguez I am definitely ready for Christmas. Here are a few fun things to do around that time. Looking at Christmas lights around Amarillo is definitely one of my favorite parts of Christmas. In the Wolflin area, there are horse drawn carriages you can take rides in. Amarillo Little Theater has the play "A Christmas Story”. The Botanical Gardens has great decorations during Christmas time also. Have a safe and fun Merry Christmas. BACON FOR BREAKFAST By Isaac Mcgill Did you have bacon this morning? Hot dog for lunch? If so, you might want to read this. The World Health Organization(W.H.O) released that processed meats will increase the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. As a bacon lover, it hurts me to write this, but no more bacon for breakfast or BLT Tuesdays. So, the next time you get a hot dog, you might ask yourself, “Is it really worth it”.

Fun facts: Argentina was where the tango was created. Columbia is the number one source for emeralds in the world. Patagonia isn't just a cool jacket but a dry plateau in Argentina. Amazon is not just a popular website but also the largest river in the northern hemisphere!

2. BULLYING-by Skylar McCleskey What does a bully mean to me? To me a bully is someone who is constantly mean to maybe not just to one person,but to everyone and won't stop not even when asked. Someone who says "just because you are sitting here it does not mean that you are cool" is bullying and well everyone is cool no matter who they are, and no one should tell them that they are not. This is constantly happening, but if we all work together we can stop it, and make this generation kind to others so this generation can teach the next to not bully, so this world can become a better place. All people are created equal no matter who they are. SPIRIT WEEK-by Skylar McCleskey This spirit week was so much fun. Monday was wear black which I saw a lot of people wearing black, Tuesday was wear neon. Wednesday was dress like an old person and there was a lot of old people. Thursday was nerd day, and there were a lot of nerds in my class, and last but not least Friday was Gladiator day, and I saw happy Gladiators.
