Science Night
Hello friends and family! I’m here to report on Science Night! Let me tell you a little bit about it. Science Night will take place on March 26 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. You can learn about tornadoes, snow, and star watching! Scientists from SEEDS come show us different science experiments.
Many EK Powe students love this special night. McKenzie, and EK Powe 5th grader proclaimed that she “loves Science Night because it is so fun.”
Avery, another fifth grader, stated that she “likes Science Night, especially the fake snow from SEEDS.”
Jaipria shared the same feelings. “I love Science Night because it is educational and fun. I really like seeing my friends there.”
Donnell was the only classmate I interviewed who said he did not love Science Night. He did finally break and tell me that “I like the science activities.”
Well, there you have it! Grab your friends and family and come on down to EK Powe for Science Night on March 26 from 6 to 8.

Fairies
I’m here to tell you all about fairies!
What Fairies Look Like:
Fairies have butterfly wings because they wouldn’t be able
to fly well with bee wings. They are usually about five inches tall.
Fairy Facts:
Fairies are born when a baby laughs for the very first time.
Fairies aren’t able to fly with just their wings. They need
something yellow, something sparkly, something like PIXIE DUST.
Fairies can live forever.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
Hello! This is the nightly news with your favorite reporter
Leo. I have the scoop on one of the most debated topics in history. You may be
thinking this will be a news article about if Han Solo or Greedo shot first, it
isn’t. This will all be about if it was
the chicken or the egg that came first. Instead of talking with experts, the
Chickenists (who believe the chicken came first) and the Eggists (who believe
the egg came first), I decided to go right to the true sources, chickens and
eggs.
Leo: Chicken, I hear that you are the underdog in the
chicken/egg struggle. Why should we support you?
Chicken: Cluck, cluck, bawk! Peck, cluck, cluck, cluck,
cluck cluck, cluck, bawk! Bawk! Bawk! Peck, peck.
TRANSLATION: Impossible! Anyone should be able to see that I’m
the most popular candidate! I laid the egg!
Leo: The egg knew you were going to say that and shared with
me the following response:
“Well, the chicken laid the egg but that chicken came from
that egg too”
Chicken: Cluck, cluck, bawk! Cluck, peck, peck, bawk!
TRANSLATION: I don’t care what that stupid egg says! The
chicken laid the egg and that is that!
After
speaking with the chicken for awhile longer it became clear that there would be
no changing of the chicken’s mind. I decided it was time to turn to the egg.
Leo: I hear you have the most votes and support in this
struggle. Any vain comments?
Egg: …
Leo: Um, did you hear me?
Egg:…
Leo: Not talking, eh?
Egg:…
Leo: What if I said I as a chicken and I needed my opinion
changed?
Egg: Fine, fine, fine. I’ll talk!
Leo: AH! I see that you have finally CRACKED.
Egg: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Frankly, I’m surprised you’re a
Chickenist. I’m definitely the most popular in the struggle.
Leo: OK, that is true, but I came here to find out why you
are the most popular, not for you to tell me that I should vote for you.
Egg: Here is why I came first. Every chicken or dinosaur or
fish that we have evolved from came from an egg!
Leo: Well, what about the first organism? It was just
created out of nowhere, right?
Egg: How do you know? Were you there when the first organism
was created?
Leo: Well, no, but---
Egg: You weren’t there! You don’t know how the first
organism was created!
Leo: But-
Egg: No buts! I came first!
As you
can see, each candidate has a very different point of view. As for the actual answer,
the truth has yet to be revealed.

Owen 2
“Hello, what’s your name?” I asked
a man. Something about his face looked familiar.
“My name is Owen,” he told me.
“My name is Owen,” he told me.
“Hey! That’s my name!” I responded.
“Cool!” He replied
“What’s your favorite animal?” I
asked.
“I like Penguins.”
“Hmmmmm…. OK. Well, what’s your
favorite color?”
“Yellow.”
“Ok, ok, Mr. Wise Guy, what are you
doing?”
“What are you talking about!” the
man yelled.
“You are copying me! My favorite
color, my favorite animal, even my name!” Suddenly I shoved him realizing he
was even copying my movements.
Crash! The mirror where Owen 2 had
been standing suddenly fell.
“What is going on up there?” I
heard my mom shout up the stairs.
“Uhhhhhhh… Nothing Mom!” I realized
I needed to clean up the shattered mirror. Mom never found out about the mirror
and I never saw Owen 2 again.

EK Powe 5th Graders Need More Fieldtrips
Do EK Powe 5th graders
need more field trips? I think so. Each class has only had one field trip this
year and we are almost at the end of the school year. I have heard that we will
be having one big field trip at the end of the school year but it hasn’t happened
yet. Even the kindergarteners have had way more field trips than us.
I asked some of my peers what they
thought.
Jaipria stated “I don’t think that
we should have the same amount of field trips because we have a big field trip
at the end of the year.”
Ayah shared some of Jaipria’s
opinions. “I think we should have more field trips but we don’t because in
fifth grade you have to do way more work. It will be really rewarding to have
our big trip at the end of year. It wouldn’t mind taking a lot of trips though.”
Hopefully
we will be on the open road soon.
