‘Home’
By Zena A.
The movie Home is a very emotional movie. The main characters are Tip (her nickname), Pig (cat), and Oh (alien). Oh sent a message to EVERYONE in the galaxy! There is a monster, Gorg that is mad at the Boovs (aliens). Tip is on a quest to find her mom and Oh joins the quest and
hopes to save Earth. I would rate this movie nine out of ten stars. This movie is great for all ages. This movie teaches us to never leave family behind.
‘Arthur’
By: Renee G.
Did you know that Arthur books are really educational? They teach you lessons and you will learn from them. Arthur books are 2nd grade level. If you want to read more books you can go to PBS Kids which is a channel for kids. Well, if you run out of Arthur books and your school is out you can watch Arthur on PBS Kids. Some of you may have cable and some of you do not have cable. The channel it’s on is IPTV. Some of the books or IPTV episodes of Arthur are really funny. I give this series 10 out of 10 stars. As you start reading the Arthur books you will learn the characters and lessons. Here are the characters of the story and also on the Arthur show on PBS Kids or IPTV: Arthur, DW, Buster, Brain, and many more.
World News
By: Megan H.
More than 5,000 people are dead and 10,900 have been reported injured four days after a massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Nepal. Tens of thousands Nepalis have weathered terrifying aftershocks for days, slept in the streets and hunkered down as teams worked to dig out survivors. According to Prime Minister Sushil Koirala, the earthquake's death toll could climb to 10,000 or higher when the recovery phase is completed, ‘the Guardian’ website reported. And on the world's tallest mountain, dozens of avalanche survivors required rescue after the quake triggered a deadly slide that killed at least four Americans.
Dance
By: Kaity L., Natalie A., and Caroline E.
The Spring Dance on Friday, April 24th, all the kids had lots of fun. The DJ was Jason White. He played many great songs like ‘YMCA’, ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’, ‘Uptown Funk’, and ‘The Cupid Shuffle’. Anyone was able to request a song, but they had to write it down on a sheet of paper. There was a professional photographer named Shawna Kurth who took pictures of kids that filled out a form for photos. They had juice and cookies for snacks. To get the snacks, Mr.Davis called classes and they were able to go get their snacks. Many students came, and teachers did too. They have the dance every year. It was a great experience. Don’t forget to go next year!

Star Wars
By: Isaac S.
Star Wars is a six episode series by George Lucas. It is about special people called Jedi. Jedi work towards peace throughout the galaxy. A mysterious thing called ‘the force’ helps Jedi along their way through the stars. You can watch it in order of chronology, or in the order the author wrote them (four, five, six, one, two, three). I would do it in the way the author wrote it. I would rate this series nine out of ten stars because it involves a lot of action and adventure. Enjoy yourself on your path to become a Jedi Master!
The Fifth Grade
Field Trip
By: Elsa P.
The fifth graders recently took a trip to the Herbert Hoover museum. They got to see the birth and burial place of President Herbert Hoover. They toured the home that he lived in until age 10. They also toured replicas of his father’s blacksmith shop and the school that he attended. They were shown a video about Herbert Hoover and then they toured the museum, where they had access to lots of interesting facts. The museum also had places to watch videos throughout displays. The fifth grade was very lucky to be able to visit this museum.
‘Maleficent’
By: Kaelyn P.
Maleficent is my favorite movie because I love all the magic in the story. Another reason I love this movie is because this story has 2 bad guys and they are really bad and not just a little bad. I think the characters are wonderful and the actors are magnificent. Angelina Jolie is a wonderful actor and I hope she stars in more movies!!! Some people think that the bad characters will always be bad but this story is the opposite. Maleficent is good, then bad, then good again. The enemy is good, then bad for the rest of the story. I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars.
Dance Competition
By Leah H.
On April 18-19, the Cooling Dance Center had a dance competition led by Joan Cooling. One of the two teams did a dance to Bring me a dream. The dance routine “Bring Me a Dream” received high gold and a runner up awards.
Shellsburg Starz
By Ms. Brunssen
Caroline Erickson, Jozee White, Natalie Armstrong, and Isaac Stadelmann have been the leaders and organizers of the Shellsburg Shockers Newspaper. They have dedicated much of their free time to making sure that this newspaper is ready to print by the deadline. When Caroline Erickson came to me with the idea of publishing a school newspaper, I wasn’t sure how far she would take her idea. With the help of her team, the “Profs,” her idea became a reality. Together, they developed a plan and presented it to me, the principal, and all 4th and 5th grade classrooms. They worked hard to compose a system to fairly “hire” additional writers, artists, and editors. Now, each week they mentor their peers to publish a newspaper twice a month. This project is A LOT of work! I am continually impressed with all four students' work ethics, teamwork, and creative ideas.

Terriffic Teacher
By Zoe M.
This week’s Terrific Teacher is… MR.DAVIS! Mr. Davis is a very nice, funny, intelligent, and caring guy. He is always ready to lend a helping hand. He is always there when you need his advice. He gives the best assembly announcements and it is very hard not to love a guy like that!
Look for the last edition of Shellsburg Shockers on May 18th!
Lego Movie
By: Zena A.
The Lego Movie is very colorful and interesting. Personally, my favorite part is when Emmet does his jumping-jacks, then he says “I’m so pumped up!” and starts doing many more jumping-jacks. Also, at the end the dad is President/Lord Business and President/Lord Business/Dad softens up and gets the antidote (which is water) and un-kraggled all the Lego people and buildings. If you have played with or seen Legos, you will probably understand the jokes. I would rate the Lego Movie 10 out of 10 stars!
Advice
By: Seven B.
Here are some things people have been asking me.
Well, I know a few people that are very nice and friendly. They are; Zena Aragon, Jozee White, Leah & Megan Hendrickson,Caroline Erickson, Renee Gram, Kaity Lewis, Kinzzy Miracle, Treighton McGlothin, Jack Swanson, Chase Rippel, and Jordyn Brownell. If you are scared and don’t know how to make friends then I’ll tell you how to. You should just be yourself.
My friend has always been nice, but lately has been mean to others. What should I do? I don’t want to lose my friend.
If I were you I would tell your friend how you feel. Since you don’t want to lose your friend then you should tell him or her that you hope this doesn't ruin your friendship and if it does then try and find someone else.
