U' . . ,i nies nd Munch out with lunch boxes Many of the second graders look forward to school every year.They are excited about learning, seeing their last year's teachers, and of course, getting their lunch boxes. Shopping for a lunch box is a task all children love. However, many mothers disagree. The kids want every lunch box. They have a hard time choosing just one, and then they change their minds in a week, com- mented Phyllis Cordon, mother of two children. The lunch box the child chooses seems to reflect on the child's toys. For instance, a boy could have a Master's of the Universe lunch box and also have a He-Man figure. Many of the girls carry Care Bear lunch boxes, Cthese girls also have different types of Care Bears such as Bedtime Bearj. Other lunch box types include Thundercats, Pound Pup- pies, My Little Pony, Police Patrol, GI Joe, and the Popples. When asked whether the second graders would rather carry a lunch box or a brown bag, Jann Faust replied, I would rather carry a lunch box because a brown bag doesn't have any cartoon figures on it. Figuring out what lunch box to get is a challenge the second graders must face. Mary Catherine Kincaid commented, l have a Pound Puppy at home so I got a lunch box to match it. Munch Box also gives the kids an alternative. My mom gives me the choice between Munch Box and a lunch from home. I usually like my mom's lunches better. reported Chris- topher Howell. If the kids don't get Munch Box, then what does good 'ole mom pack them? Many replied, A sandwich, chips, and a dessert. However, Edwin Hankins claimed, I usually bring peanut butter and crackers. Backpacks have also become part of the clothing attire of the majority of second graders. Many of these backpacks are similar to the lunch boxes. I have a Thundercat lunch box and backpack, said Patrick Dupre. Lunch boxes will probably keep on coming back each year. They will never go out of style like the other yearly fads. They are a handy way to carry one's lunch with various different types to please the eater. if . , it' ,Q Eatin'and drinkin'. Jann Faust and Mary C. Kincaid, second graders, eat their lunch early. lilo p...,,i.

st Me, I'm special The first graders complet- ed their very first auto- biography entitled Me-I'm Special. The first part of their booklets was completed in the fall, and the second part was finished in the spring. This two-volume collection gave the students an opportunity to express themselves to the best oftheir abilities. They found out at the end of the year that by comparison the second edition proved to be much more detailed than the first. This was due to their education and maturation during the school year. Students entering their first year of school usually cannot express their ideas very well on paper, whether it be pictures or words. So, in the first booklet, the teacher wrote the question, explained it to the students, and then they drew a picture that answered the question. For example, one of the questions asked what color the student's eyes were. Each child drew a picture of his or her eyes and colored it. Other questions asked about the ff if 7fk-: . st gg students' families, pets, houses, rooms, and birthdays. When springtime rolled around, the first graders wrote a second Me Book. This time, though, their answers to the questions were much more clear and thorough. The students applied what they had learned during the school year and used their knowledge in their booklets. Instead of pictures, they had now written their answers in sentences. Every student had a fun time creating his own autobiography. What made this project so interesting, though, was that the students learned a great deal in self expression while having fun in school. This is what learning should be all about. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Kyle Hernandez takes time out from class to empty his desk and reorganize his materials. Keeping a clean desk helped students do neat work and prevented them from losing homework assignments. The lone worker. Justin Cordon, one of Miss Rogers' students, concentrates diligently on a puzzle he had to color, cut out, and reassemble. This was a typical assignment that young learners had to complete in addition to the Me Book. ff H el.,t , ,itt ta. fert f H s t s' M... .,,.
