Elf On The Shelf


By Cassidy L.
The Elf on a Shelf is an elf that helps Santa watch families so that everyone is being good. He reports back if anyone is bad.
Everyone's elf is different; for instance, my elf is a stuffed animal and Lucia’s elf and Madison’s elves are dolls.
I interviewed Lucia, and she told me all about her elf. For instance, her elf is named Elfie, and Elfie likes to do crazy things. Once Elfie used flour to make a snow angel.
I also interviewed Madison, and she told me that her elf's name is also Elfie, but Madison’s elf is calm.

I interviewed my elf, Jolly, and she told me all about her life as an elf. Jolly told me it takes a long time to get to my house because she lives far, far away, “It is a lot of work making toys for the good kids; when I move, I stay the way I appear to you. I love coming to visit you.” Finally, I asked my elf what her favorite thing was about the holidays, and she said “Spreading joy to families.”

Bretton Woods Club: Pros and Cons

  By Sophia H. Last weekend, I went to the Bretton Woods Club (BWC) and interviewed 6th grader Madeline Jacobson from Maine about the BWC: the pros and the cons plus some of the perks of being a member or guest. She had many pros and very few cons. Ms. Jacobson said, “One of the reasons I like the BWC is because there are enough people that its very friendly, but not enough to have it too crowded.” Another reason that she said that she liked it was because the staff are very kind to everyone. She did have many pros, but nothing is perfect. Although the BWC is nice, it does have its cons. One: “There is one chef so sometimes you might have to wait a little longer to get your desired food.” Two, she reports that it's not like you would just go to Bretton Woods just to sit in a lodge, when you could be skiing or snowboarding so it's fine that the BWC is not huge. But when you want to climb the rock wall or have a larger option of food you have to walk to the main lodge. ...

The fourth, fifth and sixth-grade chorus members, their parents and all the music teachers were at the concert. A chorus member, Peyton Downey, said, ‘‘It took the 6th grade a couple of months to perfect their songs, Honerot Halalu and Holiday Celebrations. It was fun to perform all our songs all together.’’ Each grade performed two songs and the whole group sang one together. At the end of the concert, there was a holiday sing-along for everyone to sing. The sixth-grade members sang Honerot Halalu and Holiday Celebrations and all the three grades together sang Mrs. Claus .

The Movie Wonder Was Made Well

By: Lexi Fisichelli Wonder is a movie about a boy who has never looked ordinary since the day he was born. His mom has homeschooled him for his entire life. When his parents tell him that he is going to start middle school at a real school, he freaks out. They had to leave some things out of the movie that were kind of important in the book. One important thing they left out was how Auggie got a hearing aid. I think that the book was good because you could really use your imagination, but they both did very well. At Village School in Marblehead MA, every fourth grader reads the book, Wonder . Then last month, the movie Wonder came out. Samantha Roman, a sixth grader at the village school, has read the book and seen the movie. “I like the movie I thought they did good with it,” said Roman. She said that she liked how the book had sections with a different character's perspective every time. She also said that personally, she likes to read the book first then ...
