Congratulations to Lauren for getting 1st Place in the 5th grade Penn Manor Science Fair. Her experiment, “Which Hand Cream Protects and Moisturizes a Rose the Best?” took top prize and dazzled the judges! Way to go Lauren!
To honor the famous poem written by Shel Silverstein, the 5-M’ers wrote their own “PSSA SICK” poem! However, it wasn’t little Peggy Ann McKay, it was THEM! Way “TOO SICK” to take the PSSA!
Here is Hera’s poem:
I can’t take the PSSA today
Said little Hera V’ala Nogueras
I think I have those evil mumps
I even have small red bumps
My fingers are weak
I can’t even speak
I hit my head
Now I’m lying in bed
I’m going blind in my right eye
It even hurts to look to the sky
I’m seeing lines and spots
Even rainbow polka dots
Oh, you say today is Saturday?
Oh, then I’m going to the park to play! 🙂
The 5-M’ers took a “comedic turn” after the grand finale of today’s PSSA. 5-M’ers broke up into small groups and came up with amusing “ideas” that for some strange reason…WOULDN’T be a good idea to do during the PSSA! Enjoy! 🙂
The Top 10 Things You SHOULDN’T DO During the PSSA
#10- Bring in a deck of cards thinking you’re going to “Ace” the PSSA. (Matt, Zach, Calle, Kayla)
#9 – Prank call the teacher and ask, “Is your refrigerator running? Well, you better go catch it! (Colin, Trey, Aidan, Nathan M)
#8 – Bring in your pet grizzy bear and make it eat your test. (Nate, Jonathan, Logan, Tyler)
#7 – Stand on your desk and do the chicken dance. (Marly, Sam, Hera)
#6 – Turn the clock to 3:15 PM and say “It’s time to leave!” (Emily, Hannah, Tom, Harley)
#5 – Search for answers on the internet. (Emily, Hannah, Tom, Harley)
#4 – Use a #1 pencil, just to be funny. (Lauren, Erin, Rob, Don)
#3 – Wear a “Superman” costume thinking you’re going to fly over the test. (Matt, Zach, Calle, Kayla)
#2 – Make like a banana and “split” your test in half. (Colin, Trey, Aidan, Nathan M.)
And the #1 thing you SHOULDN’T DO during the PSSA is…..
#1 – Tell your teacher that “Write Your Name” is the hardest question and that you can’t take the PSSA!
