second place, and the team that beat us only beat us by one point.
We also got third place in the state. If anyone wants to join math

Student of the Month Learning the 50 States
by Tristan McElhone
by Makayla Ryan
The way Mrs. Shaw is teaching us to
remember the fifty states is by using a
program called Seterra. It's a program that
names a state and you click that state on the
map. It doesn't have to be a state, it could be a
city or a capital. It's also very fun and
educational. It helps me and my fellow 5th
graders.
She gives us “states tests” and we get to use
our flash cards so it's simple. Also, Seterra
has many language options so people around

Chickens & Rabbits With 4-H
by Anna Allen
I will be telling you about Chicken and Rabbit clubs in
4-H. In the chicken club, we do showmanship and
normal show. In showmanship, the judge asks us
questions and then we answer. In a normal show, our
chickens stay in a cage and the judge looks at them.
In the rabbit club, we do showmanship and normal
shows. When we do showmanship, we flip our rabbit on
their back and talk about the rabbit. For example, “My
name is Anna Allen, and this is a Mini Rex named
Jingle.” In a normal show, I put them in a stand and the
judge looks at the rabbits.
