Nutcrackers of the Month

By Lily Edwards Welcome to Nutcracker of the Month. Our first Nutcracker for this December is a very sparkly nutcracker with a wood staff, a fuzzy beard, and fuzzy hair. It has a blue velvet cape with gold rick-rack, blue shining eyes, a black mustache and a red sparkle suit with a gold crown. The crown has red jewels and so much more! We need to get to the second nutcracker. Now this is a Clara nutcracker. There is a little nutcracker in her hand. She has curly blonde hair, ruby red lips and a white fuzzy shawl. There is a lace neck piece and ballet slippers. Those are the nutcrackers of the month. Happy Holidays!

LINDSEY'S QUAILS AND MYSTERY BIRD CORNER

QUAIL FACTS
Baby quails have very delicate legs. If you let your baby quail walk on a at surface then that will lead to splayed legs. To prevent splayed legs, put pellets on the surface that your baby quail is walking on. Splayed legs are when the baby quails legs slip out from under it and it ends up doing the splits. Splayed legs can cause bad damage to your quails legs. So to prevent splayed legs, put pellets or shavings under where your baby quail is walking!

RINGED TURTLE DOVE

The Ringed Turtle Dove is not a pet bird. It lives in parks and around people. They eat seeds mostly on the ground. Unlike quails, they have their nests in a tree. The number of eggs Ringed Turtle Doves have are two white eggs. This is a neat bird.

ALL THE TEACHERS NUTCRACKER

The Night Before the Nutcracker

By Madeline Ramelb The night before the Nutcracker, all the school was quiet and all had dances of sugar plums in their heads. All the children slept soundly without a peep and all the butterflies and cameleons slept inside their cages waiting for morning to come.

My Saddest Moment By Ginger Morris I see her face almost every day and the minutes slip away day by day and before you know it, She is moving away, I hug her for the last time, and say the last good-bye. I see her face slip behind the glass As we drive away. OIL By Sophia Roncska Oil spills are not that good. I will tell you why. Birds will die. Fish will die. YOu might die too. So keep our planet clean. And you might survive.

Twas the day of the Nutcracker when all through the school, The teachers all scurrying reminding kids all the rules, The parts were all studied and the teachers were a sight hoping we would manage to do it all right,

Inspired by my upper school students who have written beautiful poetry during the poetry unit, the Nutcracker and all of the Huakailani girls, I wrote this poem based on "The Night Before Christmas". Dedicated to te Butteries!

The mice were quiet but not asleep in their beds, While first graders had visions of Shave Ice tucked in their heads, There were Bon-Bons, soldiers, candy canes - only 2. Narrators, Sugar Plums, Teacakes, Chocolates too, We practiced at school each day and each week, On the real stage my heart skipped a beat Let no parts be missing or parts incomplete! Too late for last-minute changes or costume replacement; The teachers all worried, it would just go to the basement! When what to my worrying eyes should appear but 35 Huakailani butterflies all smiley and bright, With each part memorized and all songs learned. They sparkled like butterfly wings that just had been earned. More rapid than cheetahs they got into line, They danced, sang and said their parts -So divine! "Pull yourself together, teachers" and come to the land of the sweets, Where the sugar plum and prince will offer sweet treats. And then in a twinkling, we knew for a fact that all the girls had made a pact, To keep teachers from worrying about the performance night and that everything would be just absolutely all right. The girls spoke not a word, but went right to their places, Lines all straight and with smiles on their faces. The teachers all watched with amazement and delight, In that instant, they knew that the it would be all right. They put their CDs and scripts away in their classrooms, The teachers all admired how all their girls had blossomed, It made them want to proudly shout! "This will be the best Nutcracker Show, without any doubt.
Tomorrow we'll cheer, let the holiday ring, We will still be singing those lines in are heads We did it! We did it! The show was a success! The perfect, most magical, Nutcracker Show, I bet!"

THE DAY OF THE NUTCRACKER

Then onto a holiday weekend with family and friends, With visions of sugar plums still dancing in our heads. We head to the malls to shop for the next big day ahead, A Merry Christmas to all and to all....
What's that I hear? t's always such a treat to throw a Christmas par-ty! Oh no! Yo Ho! It is starting all over again inside my head! I even hum it when I am in bed. Oh, Dread!
