One Awesome Halloween
By L. S. & D. T
Most of us can’t believe Halloween is done. We all seemed to enjoy the Halloween bash. There were games, movies, dancing and FOOD. We asked some teachers how they think the Halloween party went. Ms. Teri said, “I think it went great!” Ms. Amu said, “It was awesome” and Ms. Sharon said, “It was a lot of fun!” Out of it all we had a spooky great time!

Why Bullying is Bad
By J.M.
When someone is a bully they are going to pick on you ‘til you cry. It’s going to get worse so tell a teacher. Then the teacher comes and tells the bully to go to the office. When people tease other people, they don’t like it. But sometimes you just have to ignore what they say – sometimes that’s what I do. Sometimes speak up and to others too, so don’t let anybody bully you.

The Amazing Trip to the Library
By K.H.& C.K.
On the day of October 20, 2011 the kids of Ta’iala Academy went on a field trip to the library. When they were on the bus they were singing, laughing, and having fun. When they got into the children’s room , the lights were off, Halloween stuff was everywhere so it was kind of creepy. But when the lights went on, it wasn’t scary anymore. We checked out books, then we left.

Tether Ball
By M.S., S.H. & T.H.
Tetherball is a good game to play at Ta’iala. It’s another fun game to play with your hand. It’s an awesome two player game. There are a lot of good players at Ta’iala. It’s so fun that sometimes the teachers play it. The game goes by fast when you do play by the rules. So far we have two best players. Their names are B.M. and A.M. Brandon is in 7th grade and Anita is in 5th grade. Brandon is the top champion. We have some kids getting better at tetherball and beating some good teacher ball players. Good thing that the PTO of Ta’iala donated tetherball poles with tetherballs. We have three tetherballs now.

After School Program
By J.L.
The after school program is great. It makes working parents feel happy. The after school program provides a snack, time for homework, and a little activity of history, art, literature, and more. Ms. Sharon, Ms. Teri, and Ms. Tania help to watch the children and help with homework. Don’t forget to pick up your children at 5:00 PM. Will you be the next parents to have your children signed up for the after school program?
