*The best part of the Emoji News is when we do stuff like interview people. My favorite issue was the first newspaper. I am thinking about joining the newspaper club again or service club. I liked writing about recipes that interest me. I also enjoyed the visitors who came to give us ideas for the newspaper. In my opinion, Mrs. Riportella's daughter was the best one of all. I really enjoyed working with Aaron, and Adin on the recipes and writing about slime. I also enjoyed working Melanie. I never had an opportunity to be in a club before. This was the best club ever and was the best experience ever. Thank you to Mrs. Castro and Mrs. Bell. By: S.A.

*I loved being in newspaper club because we learned a lot about new Information and topics. I also loved experiencing something new and exiting. In the Newspaper club we all collaborated and listened to each other ideas. We have a lot of fun and created many new ideas to write about. For example, we wrote about jokes that we laughed about, we talked about inspiring kids, and we wrote about interesting experiences that were happening in Plainfield Elementary School. We wanted the Newspaper to entertain all the students and teachers in Plainfield Elementary School. By: K.A.

*My favorite issue was the March issue, and I would like to stay in Newspaper club. I also want to join the service club. I am not involved across the school. The best speaker, in my opinion, that came to help us was Mrs. Riportella’s daughter. My job was to come up with new words, they were sometimes hard to find, but I think I did a pretty good job. When I was the photographer, I thought to myself that this is something I could do it. And when I took pictures for “Whose Room is That?” I had a wonderful experience. By: A.S.

*The best part of the newspaper club is that I learned new things about news. I met people for newspaper to T.V. news reporters. In my opinion, the best speaker was from "Hoy." Ms. Serrato writes for Chicago Tribune "HOY." I also feel that from being a staff in the newspaper club it taught me how different people work together and can report the news in different ways like on T.V. or on the EMOJI NEWS. By: J.Z.C.

*The best part of being an advisor of the EMOJI NEWS was working with students! Each week I got to see their excitement and dedication to the process of creating a school newspaper. I only knew a few of our young reporters before this year, but quickly came to see the special qualities of each student. I will truly miss the fifth graders who will be leaving Plainfield. I also hope the current fourth graders will continue on with the Emoji News next year. Finally, I would like to thank Mrs. Castro for being a great co-partner. By: Mrs. Bell

Interesting Cinco de Mayo Facts:
When the Mexican's beat the French in the Battle at Pueblo, it was unexpected. It was thought the French would win, who were there to collect on war debts.
Spain and England also sent forces to collect debts but retreated after making an agreement with Mexico.
The French army was better equipped, better trained and was much larger. Mexico only had approximately 4,000 poorly-armed soldiers and France had between 6,500 and 8000 well-equipped soldiers. France hadn't been beaten in 50 years.
Cinco de Mayo is often confused as being Mexico's Independence Day. Mexico's Independence Day is September 16th and is considered to be Mexico's most important patriotic holiday.
In 2005, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution to recognize the 'historical significance' of Cinco de Mayo.
