Third Grade Poetry Reading

Third Graders at Northline have completed their Poetry Planner.  The end product and summative assessment was for the students to collect about 8 of their own poems into an individualized Poetry book.  These books were sent to be published and returned beautifully.  This Friday, February 1^st, 2008 the Third grade held a Poetry Read in the cafeteria.  It was set up as a gallery and members of the school and local community were invited to walk around and listen to students read some of their poetry aloud and look at their books. The students practiced reading with emotion and fluency and those listening really seemed to enjoy their performance.  Please enjoy these pictures from our Poetry Read.

Field Trip To Museum Of History and Natural Science
By C. Melonson, HCC ESL Instructor

On February 20, 2008, the Adult ESL Class and instructor entered the bus at 8:30 a.m.  Our destination was the Museum of History and Natural Science. There were 10 attendees. We arrived at 9:18, exited the bus purchased tickets for the Exhibit Hall. We visited three levels of the museum. We started with the middle level where the dinosaurs were. We discussed what reptiles are and identified three of them Diplodocus, T-Rex, and Anklyosaurus. Next we entered the chemical section, where we chemical used to clean with as well as eat. Our next stop was the first floor up to the Mineral Cave, Seashell Collection, Texas Wildlife, and African safari animals. Our last stop was the basement for the discovery and news casting. We departed at 10:45 a.m. and arrived at the school at 11:45 a.m.

The museum also has three other exhibits that maybe used for future field trips: Butterfly Exhibit, Stars, IMAX.
