TEXAS STADIUM

This week we had our very own NEWS REPORTER Samuel watch TEXAS STADIUM be DEMOLISHED. Thank you for sharing pictures and your story.

By Samuel

This weekend I went to go see the Texas Stadium BLOW UP. There were fireworks, too. They chose a little kid to press the button. There were time BOMBS in the stadium. When the fireworks started at the end, the FIREWORKS were like a gun and then the Cowboys Stadium EXPLODED.

Spring

After record snow in Texas, WINTER has left us and SPRING has arrived.

McKenzie had Spring Fling in March. A good time was had by all. We had a place to take pictures with a beautiful backdrop.

Mrs. Walker and Randy took a picture, too.

Celebrate SPRING with us. Enjoy the nice weather, spend some time outside, plant a garden. :)

This week's word is COLLEGE!

We celebrated COLLEGE week at McKenzie this week. Go, COLLEGE!!

Carlos- “I think college is important because we can get a degree and get a job. When I grow up I want to be an archeologist because I want to study dinosaur bones, feel them, and see how big they are because they look so exciting.”

Samuel- "We have to work hard to go to college."

Mario- "You have to learn about a job. Once you pass college you get to get that job."

Andrea C- "College is important so you can learn."

Delyn- “I think I will go to Texas Tech.”

Hook 'Em Horns!

Mauricio- “I will go to the University of Texas. GO LONGHORNS! I really hope I can be a baker and a writer. I will be a good student and get good grades and scholarships to get money to go to college. I wonder if it will be a 4 year college or a 2 year college? What do you think? I think a 4 year college so I’m going to have fun going to college!"

Isabelle- "You have to get good grades so you can graduate college and get a good house and a good school for your kids."

Gig 'Em, Aggies!

Lucas- "I want to go to Texas A&M and learn how to be an astronaut."

Brendan- "College is awesome!"

Rina- "You have to be smart to get into college.

Cheyenne- “After high school I want to go to Baylor University. I want to be a teacher because you get to be around new kids. I like to be around new kids.“

Mrs. McLaughlin- "Never stop learning."

GO COLLEGE!!

This week's word is LIBRARY

Here are some ideas for choosing library books that are just right for you.

1. Ask a teacher or a friend for suggestions.

2. Keep a list of authors you like and choose a book by that author.

3. Choose a topic or genre that you like.

4. Read through a page using the "5 Finger Rule." Start reading and each time you come to a word you don't know put up a finger. If you put up more than five fingers the book is too difficult for you.

5. Choose a variety of books... maybe an easy book and a chapter book or a chapter book and a non-fiction book.

Why not try these ideas the next time you're in the library looking for a book? They work for us.
