If you like dragons, a paper dragon is

good. I like to make paper dragons. I

enjoy making and it is big.

First, you need fifteen papers, scis-

sors and pencil. You can choose any

colors of paper. I like to make with all

colors.

Then fold five pieces of paper into

triangles. Then, fold four papers into

rectangles.

Next, take a triangle and stick a rectangle to the left. Keep

doing the pattern this will be your body.

Third, at the end of the triangle put a long triangle and twist it

to the bottom one time. This will be your tail.

Announcing the Newest Animal Born on Earth:

Dolowlbundophant! By Miju Rahman, Grade 5

She is now living in Korea and she looks beau-

tiful. This new creature received her looks from a

mix of animals. Dolowlbundophant is very clever

like me because she speaks many languages. Also

she is soft with fur. She is quiet like an owl, as

responsible as a dog, smart like a dolphin, friendly

as a bunny, honest like an elephant and she is 5

years old. Dolowlbundophant is like me because

we have similar traits.

Ramadan is special to

Muslims. It is on the 7th of

July. Muslims pray to God in

the mosque. They don’t eat

at breakfast and lunch, but

they eat dinner.

Sometimes they cut a

sheep and wash it, and eat

it. During Ramadan, children

have so much fun because

the adults make them laugh.

Also adults have fun too.

Muslims also pray for better

lives. My family likes Ram-

adan more than other cele-

brations.

Shakhina said, “I feel

excited about Ramadan be-

cause sometimes I get pre-

sents and we eat dates.”

Grade 3 Wins Ice Cream Party By Latham Ratnam, Grade 3

All grades had a Door decorating contest. R.I.S cele-

brated Halloween and fall.

Students did it in the week of Halloween. Shakina

made the pumpkins and Ms. J made a tree.

Everyone else made leaves and scarecrows. All other

grades decorated their doors too.

Student council members and teachers voted for the

best door. Roanne Banks said, “It was very exciting

and very fun when we won.”

I am kind and happy I wonder what people think I hear they call me Hani I see a talking tree I want to go to sleep I am kind and happy I pretend to be tired I feel so boring I touch a smiling bee I worry about English I cry when people die

I am kind and happy I understand humans can’t fly I say to them good bye I dream about a fish I try to be brave I hope my wishes come true I am kind and happy

I Am By Mert Uzun, Grade 8

I pretend I’m an eagle flying in the adventurous sky I feel brave I touch lions and tigers I worry about my grades I cry for our loss of nature I am curious and energetic I understand global warming I say peace is for all I dream to be an engineer I try again and again I hope I gain power I am curious and energetic

In our sci-

ence class,

we performed

an experi-

ment togeth-

er. We had

been learning

about the

skeleton, and

we wanted to

find out how

calcium is

important for

our bones.

We put chicken bones in a jar with vinegar.

The bones were very hard and we could not

even bend them. We waited for 14 days to

see what

would hap-

pen to the

bones. At

the end,

they be-

came very

soft. They

were so

soft; we

could bend

them and

twist them!

We dis-

covered that without calcium, our bones

become very weak. Bones are cool and

important for our body!
