Hey DMS! I recently asked some students what is in their backpacks. I started with 6th grader Wyatt Jany; he said he has a hoodie and a Chromebook charger in his backpack. Then I asked 7th grader Jocelyn Warren; she had some pens and pencils in her backpack. Lastly, I asked Lily Pullum she had her Bible and her Lululemon keychain. What do you have in your backpack?

I interviewed five students and asked them Would You Rather questions. I got some interesting answers.

"Would you rather meet someone from the past or the future?"

Marcus Wilson said, "I would meet someone from the future."

"Would you rather be in the last game you played or the last book you read?                                      

Ben Guethle said, "A video game, and the last one I played was Fortnite."

"Would you rather have a pet snake or spider?"

Bentley Tendle said he would pick a pet snake.

"Would you rather be able to hear what people are listening to on their headphones or watch what they're watching?"

Levi Jones said, "I want to know what people are listening to."

Finally, I asked, "Would you rather have to wear a clown wig or clown shoes every day?"

Harper Mathis said she would pick clown shoes.

Thanks DMS!

Who do you think is the classroom of the month? I asked Mrs. Templemire what her class is focusing on, and she said, "The relationships this year." I also asked her what her favorite hour of the day was, and she told me to "ask me again at the end of the year." I also asked her what her favorite unit of the day was, and she said "ELA." And the last question I asked her was why she believes this is a fun classroom, and she said "It's a fun place and easily to be entertained."

This week, I asked students and teachers if they prefer books or movies based on books. First, I asked 8th grader Kynlee Miller if she preferred Charlotte's Web as a book or as a movie. She said, “The movie because I haven’t read the book.” It's okay, I haven't read it either. Next, I asked 6th grader Noah Hartline if he preferred Winn-Dixie as a book or as a movie, and he responded with “I like the book more.” I asked Mrs. Walker if she preferred The Outsiders as a book or as a movie. She said, “Me? Reading, of course.” I agree, the movie was so sad. Finally, I asked 8th grader Dominick Holt if he preferred Freak The Mighty as a book or as a movie. He said, “I like the movie more because I don’t like reading that much.” What do you prefer?
