Earth Day at Center School
Monday May 13 is our annual Earth Day cleanup at Center School. This year there was a poetry contest where students wrote about Earth Day and a winner was chosen from each grade. The winning poems will be published in various newspapers and be recognized by the Massachusetts Poetry society. Our students took to spending some time in our gardens, raking, cleaning up and planting flowers. This event teaches our students community involvement and encourages green living. Congratulations to our winners! Enjoy the beautiful poems!
Earth Day by Devon Kelly -grade 5 -Mrs. Roberts
The sun shines on a world that could be better.
The sun is too hot, and I know if I was an animal suffering,
I would write a letter.
A letter saying reduce, reuse, recycle.
You can make this better!
Don't throw away paper!
Recycle it!
The ice will stay for penguins and polar bears; won't that be nice!
Stop global warming!
Earth Day by Madison Bonavita - kindergarten -Mrs. Brydges
I love the people on the earth.I love the flowers and trees.
so please, please keep the earth clean.
Earth Day by Sophia Lam -1st grade -Mrs. Weiner

Clean by Foster Kroon- 2nd grade -Mrs. George
Clean the earth and save animals.Littering is bad.Earth is our planet.After you recycle you change the world.No one should litter!
If I Were In Charge of the World by Jonah Barresi -3rd grade -Mrs. LongoIf I were in charge of the world...
I'd cancel pollution, ongoing littering, destroying forests, and also slimy gas.If I were in charge of the world...If I were in charge of the world...There'd be more wild grass, less nasty trash, and more recycling.
You wouldn't have disgusting smelly trash. You wouldn't have horrible oil. You wouldn't have long roads because it destroys nature. You wouldn't have huge driveways and parking lots because it destroys wild life.This is what it would be like... If I were in charge of the world.
Earth Day! By Matthew Pacella- 4th grade -Ms. HansonWhen the sun shines down the grass, will grow;Except when the earth is covered with snow.
Recycle and reuse to always stay green;But don't litter to keep the earth clean.The earth is our home and were here to stay;So keep the earth clean and green every day.

Third Grade Website Designers!
The third graders worked very hard to create these amazing websites! First, they learned the skill of taking notes. Next, they learned how to set up a website, include their notes as the main information of their site, and collaborate with a partner. Lastly, they added images, videos and games on the subject of nouns! If anyone needs a website made, just ask a third grader!
Click on the names of websites to be transported to the exciting world of nouns!

Fifth Grade Academy Awards!
The assignment for the fifth graders was to develop a presentation for science class on an animal of their choice. They were to include the animal’s habitat, diet, structural adaptations and behavioral adaptations.
Behind the Scenes...
These fifth graders took to the task like true professionals! They worked collaboratively in their groups and they wrote original screenplays. They made cue cards and practiced their parts, adding creativity along the way. They transformed into actors and actresses.
Then after being taught the program iMovie, they became producers, editors, visual effects artists, creative directors, sound designers, and masters of green screen technology! Look out HOLLYWOOD!
Special thank you to the fifth grade teachers who collaborated with us on this project:
Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Hanson, Mrs. Derosier, and Mrs. Roberts.
