NewLand Students Visited Onekama's Fifth Grade on
February 16, 2002

Robyn was especially happy to entertain her friend from NewLand.

When the Newland kids came I was so happy because one of my friends was there. First we were in the Mac Lab. After the Mac Lab we went to a guest speaker and then we went to lunch. ...Braeden

I had a lot of fun when the NewLand kids came. I liked playing Quiz Bowl. We lost, but the other team was really good and anyway it is just for fun. It was Mallory's birthday. She gave everybody brownies.
When they first came, Mrs. Eldridge put every Newland Kid in a group. It looked like everyone had fun at the computer. We did graphs in science out of skittles. I had 59 skittles. Everyone in our group hopes the NewLand kids can come again some day. .... Chelsea

The NewLand kids came in to see the school and work with us. There were a lot of people I knew. My partner was Nick. He is cool. I helped him with the Skittle graph. He did real good here. I think maybe he might come here next year. We got to show the whole school. he really wants to come here but he said he has to talk it over with his parents.. They didn't stay until 3 because they had to catch a bus ride home. ...Drew

We started out in the Mac Lab. We could play any game we wanted. Then every group watched Mr. Goodrich tell about the Civil War.

Lucas rediscovered old friends from NewLand. He thought the visit was great fun.

Luke, a former NewLand student, was pleased to see old friends. Drew knew many of the students, also.

In the afternoon we practice our graph making skills using Skittles and M&M's.

 

Each group watched Mr. Goodrich tell about the Civil War.
