Spirit Week

This week is spirit week. Spirit week is when you dress up. We have comfy/cozy, mix match, twins/triplets, nerd day, and Cougar day. Comfy/cozy is when you bring pajamas. Mix match is when you don’t match your clothes. Twins/triplets is when two or three people have to come with the same or similar clothes. Nerd day is when you dress up like a nerd. For some people that might be pretty weird because style is very important to them. Lastly, Cougar day is when you bring your cougar shirt or maroon and gold. It's pretty cool bringing your cougar shirt because you get to represent your school. This week was the best. Spirit week is awesome.

Spirit Week

February 1 through Feb. 5 in Castro we have spirit week. For Monday we could take pajamas or something comfortable. Some girls from Castro brought bears. Also blankets. Tuesday it was mismatch day. An example is a red Converse and a black on. Another one is a pink sock and a white sock. Wednesday is twin or triplet day. You and your friend dress the same. Two girls got the same shirt and pants. They did their hair the same and everything. You could also dress the same with two of your friends and be triplets. Most of the boys were wearing a white shirt and khaki shorts. Thursday is nerd day. We could bring huge glasses. We could also put our pants all the way to our stomach. Friday is Cougar day. We could bring our Castro shirt or the colors of the school.

Tuesday we had mismatch day. Some students wear different kinds of socks and different kinds of shoes. People just used whatever so they could be colorful. I think that it was really not too exciting because almost all the students wore matching clothes. The great thing about this is that today we had twin day so, we have to have to pick someone from the school to be willing to be our twin for one day. On Thursday we have nerd day. What we could do is to put on huge glasses and we could bring a lot of books to look extremely nerdy.

Castro Library

The school library has lots of books to read. We sometimes go to the library when our books are due. When we went to the library for the very first time, there were too many books in the bookshelves. We sometimes lose our library books and we have to pay them. When our books are due last week and we returned the library books late, we have to pay the over due books. We always have to return the library books after we are done with our work and test. We sometimes always like to read some types of books like science fiction, horror, humor, mystery, and some other types of books we love to read. Before we enter the library, we always need to bring our i.d to checkout books because if we don’t bring our i.d, we have to read a magazine or a book you have brought at home.

We also use the computers to find some books we want to checkout. We sometimes have to take our books home to read over the weekend when we have nothing to do on weekends. You could go to the library before school and during lunchtime. Sometimes the library closes when school is over. But sometimes, student’s checkout books that they don’t like and they put the book in the wrong bookshelf. They sometimes write things inside of the books that have inappropriate writing in the cover of a library book. There are also magazines that you want to see if you don’t have an i.d. we don’t always visit the library because there are other classes who are in the library. That’s why we have a library at school so that we could checkout books in the library.

Spirit Week

This is how awesome our school is: we had spirit week. On Monday we had comfy/pajama day, Tuesday it was mix and match day. On Wednesday it was twin/triplets day, Thursday it was NERD DAY which a lot of teenagers like right now the style right now is to dress like nerds we all think that’s cool . On Friday is cougar spirit and I think that’s cool because we should represent our school and we should show people around us what school we go to. I think that they should keep doing this because it makes school more fun and it makes students want to come to school. It excites them. This week we had a BLAST!! It was the BOMB!! I HOPE WE HAVE ANOTHER SPIRIT WEEK!!

THIS WEEK WE HAVE SPIRIT WEEK.

Students at Castro like to come to school not wearing uniforms and the same thing all over and over. So that’s why we have spirit week. On Monday we had pajama day. On Tuesday we had mix and mis-match day. On Wednesday we have twin day. On Thursday we have nerd day. And on Friday we have Cougar day. It’s cool to see people how they dress. It’s nice too when we can take pajamas to school because we don’t have to wake up and look for clothes to wear for school. We just wake up and do our hair and eat then just go to school. I’m sure that a lot of students liked that day. Today it seemed like if a lot people liked the mix and mismatch, because a lot of students dressed up all crazy and not matching haha. Wednesday is twin day and I’m sure that students at Castro are going to like it. Also when it’s nerd day I’m sure that almost every body is going to come dressed up like a nerd. I like it when its nerd day cause I like to see the different kind of people how they come dressed up like a nerd. On Friday it’s cougar day and it’s when we wear a cougar shirt and that’s normal here at Castro but that’s also nice that all the students at Castro are wearing the same shirt. That’s what it’s all about when it’s spirit week.

School Lunch

In the school cafeteria, we always eat good lunch during lunchtime. We always have to drink milk because it is good for our bodies and the people in the cafeteria serve us food when we get really hungry from doing so much work in class. And after we eat lunch, we go outside and play basketball and we hang out with some people who are our friends and we sometimes do homework whenever we are bored. When we go to lunch, some people have to pay for the food like I pay the lunch for one dollar. And if we don’t pay the lunch we have to bring two dollars instead.



At the cafeteria, we buy snacks for only 50 cents. There are chips and Gatorade. I like the snacks and drinks in the cafeteria because it has delicious food in the school lunch. After we eat our lunch, we go outside or go to the bathroom if it is an emergency. Sometimes, students have to hide their chips and drinks in their backpack to drink or eat it later when they go outside. And when they are done with their snacks and drinks, they leave it on the floor and they start to liter garbage on the floor and not throwing it into the trashcan. That is called littering.

The food in the cafeteria was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When we pick up our food, it sometimes has hair or some bugs on our lunch tray at my last school. But it never happens in our school at Castro. The school cafeteria has some food that we don’t like so instead, we get our own lunches! We sometimes eat pizza because everyone loves pizza. They don’t always serve pizza because they make different food like tamales, macaroni & cheese, tacos, and all other types of food we eat. We also eat peanut butter and jelly sandwich on Fridays, which is our other favorite food at school. And that’s why we eat lunch at school because the school lunch is the best!

New electives. How’s it going?

We recently received new electives and we wanted to know how the students liked them. So we took the liberty of asking our students about it. Some of our students didn’t want to be recorded. But we took note of what they said. Our questions were, “what is your elective?” “Do you like it?” and “If you could choose a different elective what would it be?” Many liked them and many didn’t. They all had different opinions. Some of our students were strongly opposed to their new elective.
