Game review: NBA 2K9
By Wandy
Cool parts of the game: You can dunk the ball into the hoop and dribble it and cross people and you can play online or on your Xbox 360. You can pick any teams from the NBA to play against other teams.
What would make it better: If they can put Michael Jordan in it.
Who can play it: Everyone!
I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.
Dictionaries!
Rotarians Jim Harris and Dave Richardson visited Ingalls School to pass along new dictionaries to all third grade students. Each year the Lynn Rotary Club collects donations from various businesses and purchases personal dictionaries for all third graders in the City of Lynn.
Thank you to the Rotary Club for their generous donation!!
The Kindergarten Celebration
By Alanna and Angela
First, Mr. Frye said a speech about the core value. Next, everyone stood up and said the pledge and My Promise. After, Ms. Trainer talked about effort and the core value. Then she called up a teacher with the classroom rules. One of the rules was to solve their problems using rock paper scissors. Some of the Kindergarteners said a speech about EFFORT. Then Ms. Trainer told the parents that there were 3 books. Their teacher read out loud Hey Little Ant while the kids acted it out. The Kindergartens sang a song called "We’ll Work It Out." Lastly, the kids talked about how they would solve their problems.

Wonder Book Review
By Alanna & Angela
Our opinion on Wonder: It was a great book! Wonder is a tale about a kid who has a facial deformity. He has been in and out of hospitals his whole life. He (Auggie) has never gone to a real school and finally starts going to a school that changes his whole life. We recommend reading the book to find out more!
