Be Careful!

(By Diane Zhou, editor)

Some students from Delaine Eastin told GWN, “Did you know a teacher got hurt at our school? It was scary!” Please be careful, fellow schoolmates, and be sure your parents drive safely too!
If you notice dangerous things in your neighborhood, please tell GWN too! Safety first!

Book Buck$

Last week was BOOK BUCK$ week! How many BUCK$ did you receive? Send to GWN's email address. Diane Zhou and Amanda Chang always go for the most (800 maximum), but this year, their maximum was only 600. Why? On a coincidence, both of them didn't get The Argus on Monday. Diane is in a combination class and the school didn't have enough copies of the newspaper for her class. Amanda had a substitute who didn't know about the Book Buck$ so she didn't get one on Monday. As Diane told Amanda that it wasn't fair, she found out that it was actually fair since Amanda didn't get a copy either. What a coincidence!!!

Donations

(By Amanda Chang, editor)

Please make efforts to help those in need! There was a story on news that a 75-year-old man retired from his job and went back to his hometown. There, he saw many children playing around because they had no money for school. He decided to sell most of his possessions to help raise money for the children. When that wasn't enough, he rented a three-wheel vehicle that carries people and carried people to other places. All that money he earned went to kids. Now he is 95 years old and can no longer ride the three-wheeled vehicle. This man raised thousands of dollars for the children. If he can do it, so can you! Not thousands, but if 10 of us donate 20 dollars each, that's already 200 dollars! Please help our community!

Please do not donate to GWN; we don't need money. Donate to the poor please!

What a Joke!

(By Diane Zhou, editor)

Errrr...”What's that?” “I think it's the speaker.” There was a sound coming from Diane Zhou's classroom computer. “Oh it's the so-called 'good' computer,” Diane's teacher said. Then he went to the back of the room and told the student by the computer, “And it might explode...” The teacher went to another student...and suddenly shouted, “BOOM!” Chloris Li told GWN, “I actually got scared for a moment!” What a joke!

Fun Field Trip (or maybe not...)

(By Alex Zhou)

On Tuesday, March 11th, Alex Zhou's class went on a field trip to an art museum. The name was Mocha, which is short for Museum Of Children's Art. His class looked at art pictures made from other 2nd graders. Some were made by overlapping shapes. After they looked at the pictures, they made things out of clay. Most of them made dinosaurs. Lastly, Alex's class made pinch pots. They put designs on them. On Alex's opinion, it was a boring field trip. “I thought there were way more displays and things to do, but very disappointingly, nope, not there,” Alex told GWN.

More Test Results...

(By Amanda Chang and Diane Zhou, editors)

We now know the results of some of our GWN readers' and editor's CM test results. Starting off with our editor, Amanda Chang in Level IV (4) out of 10...93% in theory and good for sight reading and technique! Super job, Amanda! Our other editor, Diane Zhou, got 98% (as you know from a previous GWN) and just had her technique and sight reading test on March 16th. Results will come next week. She did great though, so good luck on Level VII (7)! Sara Ye, also Level IV, got ~~~~~~ for theory (passing), excellent for sight reading, and good for technique. Give it up for Sara!! Grace Ching, on the same level as Diane (VII), got 89% for theory and excellent for sight reading and technique. Congratulations! Diane also had her ice skating test on March 16th (that was a crazy day with piano and ice skating) and passed! Congratulations everyone!
