Mrs. Bieber & Carson

Mrs. Bieber and Carson

Mrs. Bieber, technology assistant at Central High School, holds an after school club for coding. Carson is a 10th grade student at the high school in the club. Carson has been coding for five years. He became interested in coding when he got a Leap Frog.

Coding is the instructions that tell things to do something. For example, you might code a robot to move a cup two times. In the club Carson is coding a drone to fly around the high school to take pictures with a camera inside the two pieces of the drone. Mr. Stauffer’s class made the drone. The instructions for the drone come from Carson’s phone.

Most of the time the drone does what it is supposed to do, but sometimes it crashes. So, they put foam around it to protect it. Even then, occasionally it crashes on landing so duct tape is needed to mend the drone.

We learned a lot by interviewing Mrs. Bieber and Carson. One more interesting thing we learned is where the word “debugging” came from. A woman was having problems with her computer and they found that it actually had a real bug inside. Isn’t it interesting where some words come from?

Coding is fun to do, can keep you busy, and helps you learn! We really like coding.

Mr. Caufman

Mr. Caufman

             Roundtown honored our military people with a great assembly for Veteran’s Day to learn more about our service people. We interviewed our own Mr. Caufman, principal at Central High School.  Mr. Caufman is in the Army. He has been in the Army for 13 years and counting. He was stationed at Jordan and Kuwait for 2 years. He was an Intelligence Officer. That means he couldn’t tell anyone any information about what they see or do on a mission for the Army. He thinks it is cool being in the Army because he got to go many places like Europe, and Jordan. SWEET!!!

Holiday Meal

Yum,Yum! Jaiden, Ava and Megan found out facts and opinions about the Thanksgiving holiday meal.  The lunch ladies were interviewed the day after the holiday meal was served. Holiday meal is prepared with gravy, turkey, stuffing balls, mashed potatoes, corn, and chocolate and vanilla ice cream cups. To start with, you should know about what part of the holiday meal is home made. The answer is… the stuffing balls! Could you imagine making 375 stuffing balls? Not only did the ladies imagine it, they lived in the moment and made 375

Here are some quotes from some kids and adults that ate the holiday meal.

“It’s really good,” commented Jaiden.

”Awesome!” Mrs. Zuver said it like she meant it.

“Nice and hot!” Julia wrote in our notebook.

“Good food” announced Jordyn.

“Awesome food!” Riley told us.

“Best turkey ever!” Ava said like she was in heaven.

There were a lot of good holiday meals that were purchased. The lunch ladies felt happy because most people bought holiday meal instead of chicken patty.
