WHAT'S GOING ON IN ROOM 301 (BY GUEST COLUMNIST HANA KIM)

It’s been an exciting month! Last week, we went to the Paley Center for Media! We saw cool advertisements and the types of techniques they use. These advertisements were the mentor advertisements for our own commercials! In our commercial we had to make a slogan, jingle, logo, target audience, and persuasive techniques! (We shall be presenting our commercial on Monday, December 10th.) Who knew there was so much to advertising? (I certainly didn't!)

 Hurricane Sandy is long gone, but the damage she created still remains at large. That’s why our school community will be helping! We should continue donating our change for Penny Harvest. Instead of buying a bag of chips, let’s use that money to buy some food for a more unfortunate person than us. That isn’t the only way we’ll be helping our community. We are also participating in the program Adopt A School. The school that we will be “adopting” is P.S.42. We will be donating school supplies to the students of P.S.42. so that they have the utensils they need to learn. 

 That was an awesome show! We watched Annie on Broadway! The show was funny, exciting, had many good actors and was just plain fantastic! The show was costly but it was worth every penny. We had so much fun! We will be having a Play Bill assignment for Annie. The show will lead into our Great Depression unit of study. We will be reading books about the Great Depression in our book partnerships. We will also have a web quest about the Great Depression, as a result of our book partnerships.

 That's not all! We will be putting our own musical Charlie Brown. (Based on the Charlie Brown TV series.) The students have been enjoying the videos of Charlie Brown and their fabulous teacher decided to base the musical on it! We will be performing it in February with a Valentine theme. Doesn't it sound awesome? It's sure to be a hit! (At least with us!) Lights, Camera, Action!

 This has been a pretty exciting first half of the year! Homework, projects, trips, more homework and fun! A pretty good combination! (Mostly) What lies in store for us after the  New Year? More trips? More tests? More homework? (Gasps in terror.) Nah. I think its going to be................ MORE FUN!!!!!!! This year is going to be challenging but awesome! Thanks to our awesome teacher: Mrs.Clyne (Canned Applause)
