Dancing Learner by Miss Kerrigan
Dancing Learner
I look up and he is seated,
but movin',
Eager to grasp the blends
while perplexed by the demands.
Relaxed, he moves.
To the tune of the plot line
To the beat of the letter sounds
To the rhythm of the syllables
Dancing in his seat,
headphones on.
Grasping and growing,
his eyes are open.
His trunk is jiving.
Able to question and connect
the software to the lessons
the classroom to the technology
He asks upon arrival to go on
Sharing he taught Mom about yesterday's lesson.
Eager to grasp the complexity he combats daily.
Asking in Spanish, Reading in English.
Where does he begin?
i-Ready software he moves to.
Moves through the lessons,
the days,
the process,
the beginning
of it all.

Emerson College Trip by Noemi
Last year on a Friday, I went to Emerson college with Frances, and half of the Up Academy Oliver middle school kids. It was really fun. We got to see some sculptures and cameras.We saw a studio to make shows and dramas; we took some pictures of all of the things we saw. It was pretty amazing! Then, we went to visit the music studio to listen to its music. It was really awesome to do all of those things.
Next, we went to a movie theater that belonged to the college. As we went, our tour guide told us why we had to move there. The reason that we had to move there was because one of the people that were part of our tour wanted to visit the theater. Even though I don't know exactly how to put the movie on the big screen, we learned a little on how the in the movie theater works. We saw how they send the movie to each other on the computers when they are playing the movie. After, we looked at cool old cameras. They showed us a camera with a hood that you put around your head; then you can start to take the pictures. We saw two book stores from far away. One was a long way down and the other one was near. We went inside the bookstore closest to us, and there were a lot of amazing things that we had never seen before.
Finally, we went to the sky box, to eat lunch. The sky box was awesome. There was also a basket ball court there for us to watch. Lunch was pizza, juice, and cookies. It was so delicious. Then, we had to go home. But before we walked to the bus as whole group, went to the bookstore again. There was t-shirts, water bottles, little stuffed bears and also hats that say: EMERSON COLLEGE RULES! I was going to buy one, but i didn't have any money to buy it. Finally we left to school to go home.It was a great day.
New Hampshire Trip by Odalys
It was June 10, 2014 and every one had bags and suit cases and some nice clothes. We had all gone to the library and got into own groups. After we got into our groups we went outside to the bus, put our stuff in the back and got into the bus. Then, we stared driving. It was gonna be a long ride.
So, then the teacher gave us some snacks there were good. After like 1 hour we had been allmost there. Then we got there it was so nice and big. We then got off the bus, went in and went in this room where we put our stuff in till we get our roommates. Then, this worker came and told us her name and all the informasion then after she told us everything we needed to know. We had lunch witch was a sandwitch. After we ate, more workers came in and told us some things about them like there name and where they were from and ones they did that they had started telling us what groups we are in. And once they called our name they made us do animal sounds.
Once we found out our groups we went to seperet rooms. And the person we had for the day told us what we were going to do and her name was Tara. She was nice. So next we had went out side talked about the map. Then went hiking. It was fun because it was my first time hiking. So we played some games. When we were all going up we saw some cool things like a bridge, water fall. It was cool then after the whole hike we had gone back and got to get our rooms and roommates. After that we had put our stuff down in the room and went back down stairs and went out side and there was a park there that we all played in. We also played some games in our groups.
After a long day of hiking, playing on the bus, we had gone back inside and went to go eat dinner. The dinner was not as good but it was ok. But wen we got dessert, oh my GOSH! It was cake and it was so good. So after we ate we went to our rooms and put away our stuff and we took a shower, got ready too go to bed then we went to bed and woke up at 6:30 in the morning. We got ready and went down to our group then we played outside. After ten minutes we had gone back inside and ate breakfast. After breakfast we went outside, got ready to go hiking. We went hiking to the elephant head. While hiking up we stopped and talked about nature and we went up to the elephant head which is this rock on top of the hill where you can see everything it was beautiful. We also ate lunch up there. We hiked back down and while waking down I fell and scraped my knee. Our teacher Tera had put a bandage on it and then we kept hiking down.
After we went down we had gone back to the place where we were staying, started packing our stuff everyone put all their stuff in one room. Then we played some games outside. We went to the park that was there and took a group picture. After ten minutes we went back inside and got to shop at the sore they had there after everyone got what they wanted we had got our stuff and took it outside. We had stayed outside for about five minutes then the bus came to pick us up. We had put our stuff in the back of the bus and got in. We had started driving, in the bus there had been an incedent and about an hour and a half later we had gone back to school and went home.

Dunkaroos by Frances
My favorite day at Up Academy Oliver was when we tried "dunkaroos". It's kind of like handy snacks, a snack you can dip into. It has frosting and you can take graham crackers to dip it. On Tuesday July 15, I gave the recipe to my teacher Ms. Kerrigan so that she could make them for the class. This is how to make them. The ingredients you will need are: graham crackers, cool whip, Pillsbury fun-fetti cake mix and vanilla yogurt. The frosting is made out of 3 parts fun-fetti cake mix, 2 parts vanilla yogurt, and 1 part cool whip; then stir it . Then, put it in the fridge until it's cool. After, take your graham crackers, teddy grahams or animal crackers and dip it into the frosting and enjoy.
On Thursday July 17, my friends and I tried it during our break and we enjoyed it thanks to Ms. Kerrigan and I. I told my best friend forever (bff) Noemi that there are also chocolate dunkaroos, so maybe I'll make those too another day. I'm planning on making "dunkaroos" at my house. That was my favorite day at Up Academy Oliver.
Academic Night by Bianca
On the night that we finished our MCAS was academic night where the girls have to wear dresses and the boys have to wear suits. Then when we entered the cafe there was ice cream, and there were stuff on the table about science there was dry ice, a density blaster, the weather rap, and our solar systems from our projects that we did with our partners. In my project my partners name was Yeimi and we did "Mars, The Red Planet." When we did our projects both of us had to write three Paragraphs about what we learned about the planet.Then their was a slideshow of all of the students that had worked so hard in 2013 and 2014 then when the academic night was almost over Ms. Mercado was talking to my mom and said that I'm a good student and I had worked so hard this year then my friend Franshely told me to take a picture with her with hearts on pencils in the cafe.
