Maybe the temperatures don’t always show it, but Spring time’s here and all the Spring trends are back! For example, you can wear white pants; the classic fashion rule has been lifted. We wanted to see what everyone thought about Spring fashion. We went around MMS and surveyed some girls and boys to figure out what kind of Spring fashionistas they were.

The first topic is girls’ favorite pattern. They were given a choice of polka dots, a pattern of round dots, or floral, also known as flowery prints. Many thought floral was too out of date and preferred polka dots verses floral.

Next, we looked at footwear where the choices were Jack Rogers, a fancy flip flop wear, or the new Havianas, a flip flop that adds the perfect touch to any casual spring outfit. They said that since more people knew of Jack Rogers or at least have known them for a longer time, they liked them more than Havianas.

Lastly for the girls, we asked whether they enjoyed wearing skirts, shorts, or dresses to school. With a close tie between the three, shorts won because the girls said that they could feel “free” in them and feel very comftorable.

Now for the guys. Even though a few boys like khaki shorts, most of them desired gym shorts over khakis. Just like the girls, the boys thought gym shorts were more comfortable than khakis.

Next, we wanted to know what their favorite brand for a formal event was: Ralph Lauren Polo or Brooks Brothers. All of them seemed to say about the same thing, which was “definitely Polo!” The boys said this because they said that Polo seemed to fit to their sense of style more. As most people know, pink pants have been the “new thing”. We took several different opinions and although some said they hated it almost all said they thought pink pants were about the coolest thing ever. Comments such as “they’re so bright!” and “I

Street Soccer is very fun and exciting to many people, but people who don’t know about it don’t always appreciate the intense sport.

Street soccer has something that other sports do not have. It has creativity, making your own tricks and fakes up, is the best there could ever be in any sport. I am pretty sure that there is no other sport that has as much creativity as street soccer. That’s why its nickname is freestyle soccer. A sport like this basically has everything you need in order to have fun in a sport. Some of the most famous professional soccer players started out by just playing street soccer with their friends.

Besides all of that, the most fun of you playing street soccer is that you get to humiliate your opponent. When you do something that confuses or embarrasses your opponent, people just love it and it makes the game more exciting. So if you are really good at it, you start to get known and respected. The best thing is that if you are all the talk around the streets, contractors of soccer players will find you and give you a scholarship. This is because new, skilled is what they need. They want players that bring people’s attention so there can be more soccer fans, and of course they can make more money. But think about it, everybody on the streets love you and seeing you on TV will make them crazy for you, but the best part is that you will have more fun playing soccer, because that is all you are going to do now.

It gets really interesting to people. All the tricks, the fakes and the gasps they have just make it more interesting and make it more popular. Street soccer could be the best sport there would ever be, but then again its only street. Though that does not change the fact that is fun and so many people like it and some love it. Street soccer has a touch to it most people say. It is said that it is just like cooking. There is a certain ingredient it needs. And that certain ingredient is the FUN of it. You have fun with it and you can do any kinds of stuff. If you have fun with it, it will be worth playing. You could go from your own fun of playing the game to friends and many great things around the world.

Street soccer is a passion. It is a passion for all those people around the world who really, truly love the game. People like this hope to achieve really great things from the outcome of them playing street soccer. It brings them happiness, friends, pride and confidence in them and some even have fans. The passion for the game you love cannot ever be broken. It is like having a bond with your best friend or a family member. It is something that becomes a family to you. Something that you cannot live without or ever leave alone. And that, it will always be the love and the passion for your sport.

His story began when he went to Lacy Elementary, and continued as he moved on to MMS and then Broughton and eventually Duke. Today he loves yard work and obviously teaching and subbing. We all know he loves teaching but what was his inspiration, you may want to know. Well he said most of his inspiration came from his English teachers at MMS, Broughton, and Duke. He loves every class that he teaches even though some may not have terrific behavior. Captain Lucas is a very patient man. I know that there are some very bad classes, but when Captain Lucas is there, they tend to work better.

He loves teaching and subbing, so much that he says will stop subbing or teaching when he cannot climb the stairs any more, literally. If he loves something so much I think he definitely should stick to doing that. He loves teaching more than anything and I wouldn’t be surprised if he kept coming to teach when he is in a wheelchair and cannot walk anymore. Captain Lucas will always be a sub we all hope to have. He is very imaginative, and calls himself Captain Lucas for fun. Most people think there is a story to why her calls himself Captain Lucas and not Mr. Lucas but there’s not. It’s all for fun. He likes to make it seem like he is taking the students on a journey or adventure through language arts, or social studies, or whatever he is subbing for.

Captain Lucas thinks a great teacher should include the characteristic of being patient for sure and also nice or understanding. He loves everyone at MMS and considers them all as a part of his friend tree. His life goal is to teach a love of learning and he should continue to do that for many more years.

She constantly trains at her house and when she hits the field. She says her strategy is to fake your enemy with various stick moves using her hand eye co-ordination. She is a great player but refuses to call herself a star because “it is a team game and I am just one small part of a huge thing”. Her role model on the field is her teammate Lilli. Beverly would really like to continue with lacrosse as a career. Option because she enjoys playing lacrosse with all her heart. Her passion for the game is unmatched and her skill backs it up. In her eyes lacrosse has the friendliest sport in the world. It teaches you to work hard and trust other people. Lacrosse was a sport derived from the Native Americans. Which played with checking and roughness but they always respected the game and the other teams. She follows this example. Her coach is really what pushes her to her peak of performance. She also takes one of her teacher’s favorite sayings into account when she is playing lacrosse. The saying is “good, better, best never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best”. This means to never rest and never stop improving. She is always looking for new opportunities to display her skill and improve every aspect of her game and her personality. She excels in school and is on the teacher’s bright sides.

If you see one of these people congratulate them on a great play. These were best plays and all free so if you didn’t go to them you missed out so go to the next one.

I asked her what she likes least and most about science and she said that she liked teaching Ecology and the Solar System most and Waves least. She likes Ecology because the students can relate to it. She likes the Solar System because “it’s always changing and always interesting to the students and to myself.” She likes Waves least because there is a lot of vocabulary and if you don’t understand the vocabulary, you won’t understand the concept.

You may know that she loves to play basketball and softball. For softball she has played first base, third base, and shortstop. She also loves to play volleyball and table tennis which is also known as ping pong. Some hobbies she likes to do are play basketball and to just be with her family.

I found out that she loved science as a kid which would make sense because she is a science teacher! She said that she likes the fact that science has a lot of hands on activities. I asked her how she gets kids excited about science and she said that she tries to show kids how it is related to their lives and that they use science everyday but they just don’t know it. You are probably wondering if it is even hard at all being a science teacher, but she actually did say that it is sometimes hard. I asked her what made her decide to teach science, and she replied: “I’ve always had a passion for science and I always wanted to test things.”

I would probably describe Mrs. Aqqad as loving, caring, kind, smart, and helpful. If you are in her classes and need help, she will surely help you. Right now I have her for homeroom and am glad that I have her. She certainly cares for all of her students! If you have her right now or did have her when you were in 6th grade, I’m sure you can agree that you learned a lot from her. In my mind, she is the best science teacher ever! I don’t know if you like her too, but you should! So what do you think about her?

That cracks me up.

Look forward to more jokes in the future.

Leave your answers in the comments below. Answer will be posted TOMORROW!

The students worked about three weeks on creating these marvelous master pieces. They put a lot of effort into the jugs. Here is what one of the students said about the jugs. Toniyah said “I did enjoy making the jugs, but I went through a lot of trouble to get it to stay in the right angle. I tried to be as ordinal as possible and not do what most people would.”

The current projects that the students in Carolina crafts are making are baskets. It’s a lot harder than you may think. Let’s look at some of the students’ opinion. Loren: “It’s sort of difficult.” Reem said “It’s fun because it’s difficult and you have to be patient with it and I like challenges.” Hannah: “I love making baskets, but it takes work and it isn’t easy.”

First the students will make paper baskets and then they will make reed baskets. I wish all the students good luck that their baskets are successful. They really seem to enjoy the art class.

Were also doing the skits to get some fun in the news. We have lots of skits we have and will do. Some future sketches involve the office, glee and many more recent and exciting skits. I hope are skits will live up to your expectations. Our new teacher Mr. Velarde puts a new twist in the game. He decided that we should have more recent topics in the news. He decided to use Macs instead of the equipment from the 90’s. He real has improved everything we know about the news. We try to act professional and appreciate while were developing the news. We also think you the students should just leave comments so we can improve our announcements. By the poll I developed the students enjoy this year’s school news than last years.
