Being a Middle School Senior

Being a senior is exciting but upsetting at the same time. It's exciting because there's so many events to look forward to such as prom, senior trip, and graduation. Because we'e graduating, we'll start high school with a clean slate! We're going to miss our friends and teachers. We'll always have our middle school memories...

Spring Comes True
The spring is here. Come out and play.
The flower grows. The green tree blooms.
The bird sings a song. Bees go flying.
The spring day comes and it's nice and cool.

Trip to the Recycling Center

We went to the recycling center and we worked on different (activity) stations to complete our booklet. We saw many pictures of garbage. The garbage piles are sorted into cans, plastic, and glass. Then, we saw a huge machine that does different jobs. The garbage turns into cubes that are sent to factories that can be reused to make new things.
