S.S Room Review

By: Andy Schultheis

This week we are doing something different. We are going to review a classroom. Not just any classroom, Mr. Heerdegens classroom. He teaches social studies and Globaloria. His classroom  is one of my favorites. He uses lots of movies to tell us about gods and myths. He is a very entertaining teacher. Over all I would give his class 4 out of 5 stars. Thanks for reading.

End of The Year Activities By Ricardo Dime

By: Ricardo Dime

So the school year in Herman is coming to a close and there are activities for students! But some students are losing their activities. The activities are the talent show, Patriot Games, and the dance! As said earlier people are losing these activities so if they get a specific number of suspensions, detentions, or tardiness, or you will not be able to go to the talent show, Patriot Games, or The Dance. So basically Herman is really expecting a lot from you in the end of the year so you can have a great end of the year instead of being in a room in detention when everybody is having fun.

5th and 6th Grade Dance

                            5^th and 6^th Grade Dance

                                   By Kiara Dempsey

 This year there is going to be a dance for the 5^th and 6^th graders.  This dance is given to these two grades earned this dance from hard working and communication. This is held in the middle of the school day. Today I asked Jillian Kreifels what she liked about the dance last year; she said in response that it was kind of lame because it was in the middle of school and here were not that many people there. She also did not like how they had games there and played half of the song when you get in to the song and start dancing to it. Javier also added on that he did not like it because we had to drink from  the water outside and they didn’t have any juice to drink like the 7^th   and 8^th grade dances.

Bullying Assembly 5/1 By; Ricardo Dime

BULLYING ASSEMBLY!

By; Ricardo Dime

On May 1st the Bullying Assembly was held for the 6th & 7th graders. They showed them a video named; "Let's Get Real." The video showed the victims and the bullies’ point of view about bullying. There were some harsh and bad language but the 6th & 7th graders had to be mature of that. The video was basically teaching us why bullies are being picking on kids and how they are affecting students. They also taught us the different types of bullying such as; Gossip, Physical, Verbal, and etc. Their point and Ms. Sims said this is that bullying cannot be tolerated and needs to be stopped.

Mr. Heerdegen

New Teacher Mr. Heerdegen

By: Andy Schultheis and Kiara Dempsey

This week we interviewed the new teacher, Mr. Heerdegen. He took over for Mrs.Dorsey a teacher who went on maternity leave to take care of her new baby Leela. Mr. Heerdegen is a student teacher taking over classes to get his teaching credentials, becuase of this we decided to ask him a couple of questions on how he is going to teach the classes. The first question that we asked is do you like having your own class room? He replied, "Yes because I have no one telling me what to do and I can teach the class how I prefer to teach it." Secondly, we asked if kids are acting different? In response he said "Everyone is basically acting the same, loud students are still being loud." Next, we asked if he is going to change the class? He replied "We are going to read more in class, so we have no reading logs." We also asked him if he as going to be strict? he replied '' Yes, I will be strict but not too strict." Mr. Heerdegen is staying for the rest of the year to teach the classes and help engage students and design curriculum. We look forward to seeing what he has in store for us!
