Earth Day is a day where we get to clean up this amazing earth WE live on. We do this to keep our planet nice and clean!

Earth Day is Approaching!

Earth day is celebrated on April Friday, 22nd this year

Words by Emma Zidlicky, Charlotte Chen, and Harper Karl

Earth Day is coming up, so lots of people around the world are going to celebrate this wonderful and green holiday! Most people wonder why Earth Day was started.

The first Earth Day ever, was started in 1970 of April. People were worried about the quality of air and water available to people around the world. Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day to help this cause. People caught on with this idea and started to clean up communities. Now, when Earth Day rolls around, people like to pick up litter, help the earth groups, and lots of Scout and Girl Scout packs like to pick up lots of trash and find recyclable items to reuse. An activity citizens participate in is planting things to support the Earth and make the air cleaner. Some big organizations devote their whole career to cleaning the air and land or picking trash out of the ocean. That's how people celebrate the big Blue Planet's birthday!

What Could RBB Do for Earth Day?

Words by Eva Bocanegra

In the month of April, there is a day where we show respect and kindness to the Earth. We call this day, Earth day. There are many ways to show respect and kindness to our planet. If you're wondering what we could do on Earth day I have a few examples:
You could plant some flowers or trees, ask friends if they want to see if there is any trash to pick up, reuse your disposable water bottle, not use so much plastic, and no littering, is the least we could do to keep our planet clean and healthy!
So, if you ever come upon a piece of trash don’t be afraid to pick it up and throw it away because everyday is Earth Day! Doing that would be a big favor and a reminder Earth day is this week! Stay tuned for another spectacular newspaper from Falcon News Harald.

Camping under the STAARs

I Love My Teacher 5K Run!

Words by Noelle Darius

What is camping under the STAARs about?
Camping under the STAARs is an annual event meant for third, fourth, and fifth graders. This memorable event is meant to give students a one last review before their testing day arrives. Teachers gather as many tents and canopies as they can get their hands on and set them up on the campus courtyard. This event allows students to review math and reading skills with teammates throughout the day. Teams will be made up of third, fourth, and fifth grade students! Once teams are made, they will go to stations set up in each of the tents, or canopies. It's going to end with a fun camping snack like s'mores!

When and where is camping under the STAARs?
Camping under the STAARs is on Friday, May 6th. The event will take place during the morning, on the courtyard turf, but events will continue to take place in the afternoon inside classrooms because Texas heat is no joke!

Why is this event important?
This event is important because it helps students get ready and feel confident for STAAR testing. Students work together to use different strategies to solve skills they've learned. May 6th is around the corner, so don't forget to bring your sun screen, water bottle, and camp songs to Camping Under the STAARS!

STAAR Testing

STAAR testing sure can be hard, but YOU got to rise up to the challenge and take it! STAAR isn't going to make itself easy for you, STAAR is what you've learned this past school year! So take it and try your very BEST!!

5th grade STAAR testing

The 4th grade STAAR Test

Words by Charlotte Chen, edited by Sophia Nguyen

Jitters and excitement keep rippling through the crowd every time third grade STAAR Tests are mentioned. Third grade has valiantly prepared after going through the whole year of school together. As STAAR tests near, third grade reviews and remembers all the things they learned. Did you know the STAAR's real names are State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness. There will be math, reading, writing, and science STAAR tests. As the last hurdle of third grade draws nearer, third grade grows more and more confident. Every third grader is learning and reviewing all they know for the end of third grade! They have each made goals to achieve. Most plan to work their best to reach a Masters rating on the tests. There is no doubt, they will succeed!

The STAAR Test
On the 10th, and 11th of May, the 4th grade will have their STAAR tests. The first test will be Math, and then ELA. Some of the kids are nervous and scared while the others are ready, and confident. Fourth grade has been working very hard for the STAAR test to come to prove their skills. Their teachers, Mrs. Pyle and Ms. Hernandez have been teaching and reviewing skills for students to be prepared.
Positive words of encouragement
Fourth grade you've got what it takes to do the STAAR test. Everyone believes in you! Turn that Impossible to I'm possible! RBB believes in you 4th grade!

Words by Sophia Nguyen

Mrs. Hjelmstad's amazing 5th grade class is soon going to be taking the official state test!
5th grade is taking the math, reading, and science STAAR in 3 weeks!
Mrs. Hjelmstad has split the large 5th grade classroom into two rooms so that students are in the best learning environment to review while preparing for the big days ahead. The 5th grade classes have their mind set on showing mastery on the STAAR, so nothing can get them off track now!

If anyone happens to pass by anyone of the 5th graders, wish them good luck! Everyone of the school of RBB can agree: The 5th Graders' got this!
