 * Green Inventor Contest || Kate B. || Mr. Holmes' fifth graders are making inventions for a contest being held at Merritt Elementary in Mountain Iron. All inventions must be green or eco-friendly. Students said they were surprised at how many different fascinating creations kids have come up with. For example, Chloe came up with an invention that prevents your hamster or other small animal from escaping, and alerts you when they try. Alex and Maddi invented a rake that makes it easier to pick up garbage or leaves... (VIDEO - PAUSE) Fifth graders are excited to find out who will win the contest. Thank you to Chloe and Maddi for this story. ||
 * Social Studies Project in Mr. Erickson's Room || Tyler K. || In our classroom spotlight this week, Mr. Erickson's fifth graders are researching a social studies topic in order to complete reports. The time period covered for the topics are after the Civil War, and before World War Two. Some examples of topics are Trans-continental Railroad, World War One and the Panama Canal. Thank you to Tyler for this story.

Can't wait to see their finished work! ||
 * HS Students Read to Mr. Cremers' Class || Jason and Kamini || The fourth graders in Mr. Cremer's class had high school students come and read books to them like Hatchet and Holes. Some of the high school students brought small games to play or snacks for the kids to eat while they were reading. One group even got to dig prizes out of sand. Some fourth graders drew pictures of the books while they were being read to. The fourth graders really enjoyed it! Thank you to Jason and Kamini for this story! ||
 * ZooMobile for Fourth Grade || ???? || Fourth graders are expecting some visitors today - most of them will have fur and four legs! The Zoomobile is coming to Roosevelt Elementary. Fourth grade classes will pair up and meet in the multi-purpose room to see some interesting creatures. We'll have more on what they saw next week. Thank you to Morgan for this story. ||
 * Stay in School Poster Contest || ???? || Stay in School posters are due tomorrow. Winners are selected from schools around the area and will be featured in a calendar. ||

 * State Tourneys over, Spring sports underway || ???? || Winter state tournaments are over, but basketball is one winter sport that is still going on.

Great weather for those spring sports, that's for sure! ||
 * YMCA soccer ||  || YMCA soccer is for boys and girls, kindergarten through sixth grade. It begins on April 12 and goes through June 5. It's great practice if you want to play soccer in high school, or even if you just want to get some exercise! For more information go to www.mesabiymca.com. Get out there and join a team! ||
 * NCAA Tourney ||  || If you made a guess as to who would win the N-C-Double-A tournament, you probably guessed wrong! Many of the front runners were knocked out in the early rounds. The Final Four is set for Saturday, with Duke versus West Virginia and Michigan State versus Butler. ||
 * Wrestling ||  || Fourth grade wrestler Caden Speiring has qualified for the state tournament! The meet will be held in Grand Rapids on April 10. Good luck, Caden! ||

Great weather for those spring sports, that's for sure! Back to you, girls!

ANNIE: Thank you, Michael. Yes, I can't remember a spring that came as quickly as this year's. This coming week looks like a wet one, though. Rain through the weekend, but the temps should reach into the 60s!

ALY: So it looks like it will be a soggy spring break! Let's head over to Meghan so she can give us this week's reviews! Meghan?

MEGHAN: (WAIT) Thanks, Aly! This week, a book review from Alex... The book The Tail of Emily Windsnap is a good book it is about a girl who has never been in the water before so she tries out for swimming lessons and they call her a natural but she gets a bad cramp and does not want to go back in. She wants to find out what happened and she lives on a boat and goes in the water and finds out she is a MERMAID. Read the book to find out - Alex says it is very exciting.

AND a website review from Monica! Millsberry is a great website to see. At this website you can hang with friends, eat, sleep, shop, go to the arcade, or even be player of the week.

That's all I've got in Entertainment. Back to you, Annie and Aly!

ALY: Thank you, Meghan. Well, that's it for another edition of Roosevelt Elementary News. If there's something cool going on in your classroom, we'd love to share! Just let Mrs. Aune know! I'm Aly.

And I'm Annie. From all of us in After School Tech Club, have a great week!
