    The Irwin Owl

    June 2015

    Student
    Council
    Q&A
    By Keturah Lynch
    STAFF WRITER

    In December, the Student Council made


    cards for the people who come to
    Ms.Foleys soup kitchen.
    I interviewed a group of third- and firstgraders: Alex Smith in Ms. Keberts class,
    Michael in Ms. Watsons class, Nehemiah
    in Ms. Selbys class and Mila in Ms.
    Lenhers class.
    Keturah: So, what are you guys doing?
    Michael Peterson: We are making cards.
    Keturah: For who?
    Nehemiah: Homeless people.
    Keturah: What kind of cards are you
    making?
    Michael: Funny card.
    Alex Smith: I dont know, just any card.
    Nehemiah: Christmas card.
    Keturah: Are you enjoying?
    Nehemiah: Yes.
    It looks like theyre having fun. Now,
    lets go a little deeper into their Student

    Fun Run
    raised
    money for
    great cause

    A publication of irwin Academic Center Newspaper Club

    Irwin Academic Center got together to raise money for charity with a campus Fun Run.

    By Morgan
    STAFF WRITER

    We had an amazing fun run. I


    thought that it was great, but before
    I go into my opinion let me tell you
    what some of our students and staff
    had to say about this event.
    I thought the kids loved it, they
    looked like they were having a good
    time, said Mr. Hiroshege, a member
    of the third grade team.

    I thought it was awesome that the


    kids participated said Ms.Traci, a
    teachers assistant in third grade.
    We also spoke with Zion Booker,
    who ran the most laps in the fourth
    grade.
    I thought it was an awesome accomplishment and that I inspired
    other pupils in the school, he said.
    Thats what they had to say, so now
    for my turn of events.

    I did think the way they collected


    money was efficient. A PTA member
    came to my room every day reminding our class about the fun run
    money. I am in Ms. Padgetts class
    and we were one of the top classes.
    I dont mean to be rude but they
    could have amped up the ice cream
    party a bit considering we ran 1,056
    laps. But other than that it was a wonderful event.

    Ask Molly: Theres not enough bonding time with brother

    STAFF WRITER

    Dear IAC, I miss my brother. He is middle school. But I dont get to see him
    much
    Anonymous

    I get it. My brother is in middle school,


    too. If you want to see your brother
    more, you could talk to him or your parents.
    You could set up times for family. Dur-

    ing this time you could watch a favorite


    TV show (My family watches The Amazing
    Race) or play board games.
    Remember, dont take it personally that
    your brother has a shortage of time. He
    has homework and other things going on,
    too. Just try to set up family time or just
    talk to your brother more often, Try to
    connect with him - Molly
    Can we have pizza every day?

    Well, I dont think the school grownups would go for that, but they might go
    for broccoli, what do you think? :)
    I am having trouble in recess and learning, Can you help me?
    Anonymous

    In many grades, people think that recess is the perfect time to pick on people
    and start drama, If you have an idea of
    who is mainly starting the drama, you

    could try to stay away from them. If not


    find a group of solid friends that can
    help you if times get tough.
    A lot of people have trouble learning.
    With me, I get words, but numbers just
    sink in my head. The way I deal with this
    is by turning all of the math problems
    into a story in my head. That way I can
    understand it. Sometimes people just
    dont understand what they are being
    taught.

    Please see ASK MOLLY on Page 2

    Continued from page 1

    If you want, you can always ask your parents to request a


    tutor or just talk to your teacher and see ifthere are any
    books, websites, or worksheets that can help you.
    I am getting bullied.
    Anonymous

    Dear Anonymous,
    If you are getting bullied.....
    As long as you arent feeling unsafe, you can try to work it
    out, but remember, sometimes people wont be willing to
    change their actions. And if you are ever feeling unsafe, go to
    a teacherimmediately.
    Here are some tips for ignoring a bully
    Just walk away when the bully approaches, This way the
    bully knows that they can t under your skin and cant hurt
    you
    Concentrate on something else, like what you are doing
    this weekend
    Have a saying that will build your confidence. You can say
    this to yourself when the bully is being mean
    And remember: Dont be mean back. If you do that you are
    as bad as they are.

    Desperate 4 Friends

    TickTockTalk
    A: Tell them that it is bothering you. I
    am sure they will understand and help

    THE IRWIN OWL

    you make your class better. If they dont


    stop, I think you should get your teacher
    involved. It might be a good idea to set up
    a program to keep your class quiet.
    Q: I am having trouble getting my homework done. What should I do to get in the
    habit of getting my homework done
    quicker?
    Homeworkhelp101
    A: Maybe work out solutions with a parent or teacher so you can get your homework done very easily. Maybe spend less
    time on after school activities and more on
    your homework. I hope these tips have
    helped you!
    For Morgan Lee
    Q: I like this boy but he does not even
    notice me, what should I do?
    Anonymous
    A: I think you should not be concerned
    with these things anyway. You should
    enjoy being a kid and just enjoy being
    young. You are a kid, but you wont be forever. And that goes for anyone, dont grow
    up too fast, just take some time to stop
    and smell the roses.

    Learning to jump rope


    with Double Dutch style
    By Maeli Zhiss
    STAFF WRITER

    I interviewed Kendal Clement, a fourthgrader in Miss Surretts class about why


    she likes Double Dutch.
    She said likes it because it teaches her
    how do Double Dutch. Its a lot like jump
    rope except for you dont spin the rope

    other people do.


    And shes right. It is a learning experience for everyone! Soon they will be
    moving on to two ropes but to be sure all
    of them know how to jump in and out of
    the rope, an important thing in double
    Dutch.

    THE IRWIN OWL

    June 2015

    Ask the editor: Q&A with The Charlotte Posts Herbert White

    ASHLEY MAHONEY/THE CHARLOTTE POST

    Herbert White, editor of The Charlotte Post newspaper, talks with members of Irwin Academic Centers Newspaper Club about writing and publishing articles.

    1.Sophia, Maeli, Peyton & Lydia (Cluster Group): What, according to you, is a
    good story?
    A good story always tells the reader
    something he or she didnt know in a
    way that is enlightening and entertaining. It should be written with facts pertaining to the subject and have details
    that make it important to the reader.

    2.Molly, Lauren, Alyssa, Morgan and


    Sophia (Advice Box): How does The Charlotte Post add value in comparison to other
    publications?
    The Post covers articles that other publications cant or wont report on in addition to subjects all readers care about. We
    try to report on people, places and events
    that may not be obvious to everyone but

    add value to the community.


    3.Camille and Keturah (Afterschool
    Programs): What stories make a newspaper interesting?
    An interesting story can be on anything written in a way that is informative
    and colorful. You want to write in a way
    that is exciting to the reader.
    4.Dhyey, Camille and Jordan (Inter-

    view Team): What part of being a journalist do you enjoy the most and what
    keeps you going?
    The best part is telling interesting stories and pushing myself to find them. Its
    easy to report on major events, but I
    have the most fun talking to and writing
    about ordinary people who do great
    things in their neighborhood.
