Apple ~vs~ Android

By: Arianna F and Ashlyn

Village began a program where the kids can BYOD, (Bring Your Own Device),and we wanted to find out what is the most popular device.

Apple                                    Android

71

13

We asked 3rd to 5th grade students (the ones with the most devices)  what their opinion about the two devices are.        

5th Grade: Apple, 22 Android, 6

4th Grade: Apple, 14 Android, 3

3rd Grade: Apple, 18 Android, 4

5th grade thought Apple was better because it was easier to use and that it was less complicated. Some people said that it reminded them of apples. Ashlyn and I thought Apple was better because it was easier to use and Android was confusing.  

APPLE IS BETTER  

               Water bottle flip

By Samuel Stribling and Jake Decker

“Thump,Thump,Thump” That's the sound when a bottle hits a desk. Students love flipping a bottle to try to land it. The kids love it, but what is the teachers take on the water bottle flip? Let's see what some teachers at Village have to say. “It is an awesome hand eye coordination skill” Mrs Knudsen states. Ms. Decker says  “It is the most annoying thing in the world along with noisy, distracting, and pointless”. Mrs Harrison states “It's cool. I might try it myself and it shows talent”. Mrs Sepulvado (the assistant principal)says” annoying and distracting”. That wraps it up for the Village Sting.  We found out teachers do not like it, but students do. Comment what your take is on the water bottle flip.

The Village Poem!

Stingrays spark

villages fall

but together they’re strong

and powerful

with sparking work of kindness and smart.

This is a type of sea animal called the stingrays.

This is my school and it’s cool.

Fitbit Trends

By: Kate S.and Shailey S.

Do fitbits make you more active? This is a question we would like to know. So, we went to Mrs.Rogers for answers, and this is what she replied with…...

Q~ Why did you get a fitbit?

A~ I’ve always been an athletic person and since my son Grant got one I suddenly got interested.

Q~ Do you feel more active wearing a fitbit?

A~ Most of the time I do.

Q~ How long have you had your fitbit?

A~ I got my  second fitbit  in March.

Q~ What kind of fitbit did you get and why?

A~ For my second fitbit I got the most expensive one that was better quality.

Q~ How long are you wearing your fitbit?

A~ Every single day

Q~ Scientists say fitbits don’t make you healthier, do you agree with that? Yes or no and why?

A~ Yes/no because it reminds you to move.

Q~ Does your fitbit encourage you?

A~ Yes.

Q~ Do you have any complaints?

A~Yes it makes me mad when I don't get enough steps, because it makes me feel extremley  lazy.

Q-Do you like to compete with other people in your classroom?

A-Yes      

Q-Would you want to get a different fitbit?

A-Yes, but only if I break it or lose it.

Overall, we learned fitbits don't make you more active, it just encourages you to be more active. We figured out that the fitbit company and the diabetes companies work together.We would like to thank you for taking your time to read this report and if we encourage you to buy a fitbit we say just like the NIKE company, “just do it .”

Bring Your Device to School

By: Arianna F

Hey, there has been a new change here at Village.

We can bring our electronics now! Personally, I think it is a good change. It’s a good change because the school doesn’t have to spend as much money because kids can bring their own device. Now the school can spend more money on more important things like,  more gym equipment, library books, and textbooks! Also kids are really excited about it. I know I am excited about it!
