Week 27: Optical Illusions -- Beebe


Andrew Beebe, a junior at Essex High School, created this photo by taking six pictures of himself using the timer on his digital cameral. He kept track of where he was and what position he was in during the previous picture. He then used photo editing software to combine the pictures into one. Andrew says he likes photography and is also into track and snowboarding.

More to Do
By Devon Thiele

The Mountain School at Winhall, Grade 5

Life without t.v.
Is pretty cool with me
There many other things to do
Such as crafts with sticky glue
Riding my bike
Taking a hike
Yah, I think that will do...
How about you?

Week 27:NoTV-Paquette

Life Without TV
By Allyson Paquette

Rochester High School, Grade 9

Living without television
Might sound weird to you
Boring as heck
What to do?

But here I am
Almost 16
Soccer and homework
That’s my routine.

No television
Since I was little
How did I live?
Isn’t it vital?

I was always taught
To enjoy what I had.

Pajama Day
By Izzy Moody

Every other week, 4th grade through 6th grade has a theme day. On Friday everyone dresses up. This week the theme was pajama day. I was especially exited for this.
“Rise and shine! Time to get up!” I put on my pajamas and skipped down the stairs.
