The two space men were hearing a noise in a trash can they were wondering what was making that noise in the trash can and then somebody jumped up out of the trash can. He said you are on earth you should be on space right now. Because you are space men you do not have bodies like I do. I am a scary monster. The monster went back in the trash can it jumped up again and he heard the space men say he is a weird monster and then the monster ran away crying.

Once there was a man named Joe and one time someone knocked at his door and the person looked like a cave man and he had bones.

Last night was so strange. I will tell you about it: Last night I was playing Just Dance 3 and my mom said go brush your teeth and say good night. So I did. Then I went to bed. I woke up at 12:00 at night and I saw a glowing light. I looked out the window and you'll never guess what I saw. I saw a alien ship.

The aliens are going to help the world by taking out the garbage so that the trash man won't have to. The aliens will take the trash to their home planet of Neptune.

News from Team Imagination

Team Imagination had their Culminating Event this week on weather, and after their events, Mrs. Konrad's and Mrs. VanGuilder's classes were able to take an exciting trip! They went to WCAX News in South Burlington to get a tour of the station, led by WCAX's Chief Meteorologist Sharon Meyer and were able to sit and watch the live broadcast of the 12:00 news and weather report. After the news broadcast, they had a chance to ask another WCAX Meteorologist, Gary Sadowsky, some questions. They were even able to take turns in front of the green screen! It was a very exciting trip for the second and third graders, after studying the weather for their theme, they were able to see how the weather is tracked by computer and radar and talk to the weatherman about how he makes his predictions.
