WOW squared! Have you ever seen an origami bookmark? Well, here you go. Created by Nithya Balaguru, third grader in Mrs. Rogala's class, this very unique bookmark is truly fantastic. Nithya, I love how you thought of the placement of the bookmark. It doesn't always have to go inside the book. Its all about marking the page and you have found such a cool way to do that! Your alien time machine is very thoughtfully drawn. As the bookmark goes over the page I can still see the alien's head, which must have taken some thinking. I can go and on and on! Great job! Do remember to check out our book fair ending October 25th. www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool

OMG! what a creative and very secure bookmark indeed! It won't fall off easily because of the flap over the page. What a lovable, lissome, lustrous lizard! Jaiden Makhijani, a kindergartner in Ms. Koney's class has created this alien lizard. To see this lizard Jaiden says you have to go to the year 2500.

Riona Halder, second grader in Mrs. Munoz's class has created our very own WWP robot! Given how creative our students are that day is not very far off in the future when we would have our school robots. Riona, I like his magnetic hands and the one streak of power you have drawn coming out of his hand. This robot is definitely strong - it has the WWP spirit of hard work and resilience!

A very well thought out, intricate time machine by Nihaa Somashekar, kindergartner in Ms. Koney’s class.
Nihaa very well said! "Reading takes you on a journey!" I see you have taken a lot of time in creating this bookmark. You have cut out shapes, filled in so many different colors and outlined each part. Love the green wire on top depicting energy. Hope you continue your journey of reading and encounter many adventures!

The year is 3014! And our Alien friends have been able to crack the "cosmic map" to locate Earth that we sent in our Voyager! Aanya Suneja, second grader in Ms.Tucker's class has captured the scene so well! Aanya, I like the placement of the yellow stars and you have balanced the red color so well with the red planet of the aliens and the caption in red. Your aliens look so happy and friendly. Read about the voyager and potential life in the Universe. Check out our virtual book fair at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool

If you are looking for a Time Machine to take you places please hire one from Srishti Jain! Shristi, a second grader in Ms. Babcock's class has designed a very efficient Time machine that is so time-sensitive that it can take you to any minute or second in past or future. Love the placement of the clocks and the half-cut design. In art, we don't always have to show the full picture to depict something. And Srishti has mastered that well! Learn about art techniques from books at our virtual book fair at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool

Kyna Sood, a first grader in Mrs. Mattingly's class has taken her time machine to the year 2050 when the Spacex Mars Mission would be up and running and humans would travel in its Starship back and forth from Mars for vacation! Wouldn't that be something! Love the shading of the fuel fire and the perspective Kyna has used with Mars at the bottom and the Starship flying high! 📘🧑🚀👨🚀Buy books on space and famous astronauts at www.scholastic.com/bf/dutchneckschool
