Teacher Feature

By: Kaitlyn Cruze and Julia Jung

For the teacher feature, we interviewed Mrs. Korte! We asked her 6 questions and she gave us some fun facts about her.

How many years have you been teaching?

I taught for eleven years in Fort Myers, FL. We moved there because I wanted to live near the water. I taught grades 1, 2, and 3.

What is your favorite subject to teach?

My favorite subjects to teach are reading and Social Studies.

Why did you choose to be a teacher?

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. My grandma was a teacher so it always something I wanted to do.

If you had to teach another grade, would you? Why or why not?

I do like change. 3rd grade is my favorite, but if I must choose, I would choose.

What is your favorite food and color?

My favorite food is mac and cheese and my favorite color is pink.

Do you have any plans for Halloween?

I sure do... we’ve done the same thing for years, we're starting a new tradition. Mr. Korte would take the kids trick or treating and I would pass out the candy.

Spotlight on Sports

By: Kate Seymour Do you play sports, or are you super competitive from the sidelines while watching TV? If you’re like me, you’re both. This is where I will write articles about what has happened over the past month. Two weeks ago, the big rivalry, Packers vs. Bears, played against each other. The Bears were winning first half with injured quarterback Aaron Rogers off the field. Many say he wasn’t playing because of his injury from last year. After halftime, the Packers made a comeback. Rogers came back on the field to help the team. Packers won the game with one point ahead of the Bears! The score was 23(Bears)-24(Packers). Tune in next month, for Spotlight on Sports!

Also, she likes recess because she can play with her new friends. Brynn’s teachers are Ms. Biddle and Ms. Smith. “My teachers are really nice, but my friends are cool!” Brynn says. “Northwood

Elementary is the place for me.”

How to Rock Your Weekend By: Kelsey Akin

Do you want to rock your weekend? Well if you do, go to Dahlonega. You get to see a real mine (the first gold rush mine). You can also pan for GOLD- real authentic GOLD! You also get to pan for GEMS. You get a screened box and get a HUGE scoop of sand with gems hidden in it. Then you dump the sand inside the box and dip it in the water! If you hate bats and mosquitoes, do not go in the winter. Check out the table below of favorite rocks.
