Interviews

This article is about my interview with Ms.Drabkin. (SHE IS ALSO MY MOM)!!!!!!! The first question I asked her was: how would she like to be respected at Pioneer? She replied that she would love it if everybody did good things and she continued teaching and having students. Then I asked her what inspired her to become a reading teacher? She said she always loved to read and she wants everybody to have that same love for reading. Then I asked her if she could make a change in the world, what would it be. She said there were a lot of things she would want to do for the world, but she mainly wants less poverty. Then I asked her if she could have a different job and what would she be. At first, she said professional shopper, but she changed her mind to a stylist. Next, I asked her what she likes most about Pioneer. She immediately answered that she loves the kids and teachers here. Finally, I asked her if she likes being a reading teacher. She said it was a bit challenging, but she likes it a lot.

Recess News

How people have people improvised when Infinity Tag was shut down.

By Samuel Drabkin

Basketball

Giant 2-square

We all know about how Infinity Tag has been shut down because of the constant complaints the yard duties have been hearing. But here are some ways that people have been improvising to still have fun at recess. You can try some of these ways too.

1. Basketball. There are many opinions on basketball. Many people like the game, but some people will favor other games. If you don't know what basketball is, it's a game where you try to shoot a ball into the hoop to score points. Some of the team of the Pioneer Weekly has noticed basketballs rapidly going away at recess. It's a game that anybody can play.

2. Concentration. Large groups of people have been playing the game of concentration. Here is a simple breakdown of how you play: First, you move your hands from one person to the other and sing the concentration song. When the song ends, the person that the hands have landed on picks a category. You keep saying different things from that category until somebody says the same thing as another person, or messes up. It's pretty fun, and the Pioneer Weekly recommends it.

3. Last but not least, you can try giant 2 square. It's 4 square but on the volleyball courts, and you can pick up the ball and then throw it. You will also be playing with a lot of other people. The team in A square when the bell rings wins. There are many more rules, and you should talk to someone who knows more about the game before you play.

Those are some of the ways people have been improvising during the Infinity Tag shut down.

The Concentration Song: "This is the game of Concentration! No second thoughts or hesitation! And the category i-i-i-is!"
