Pumpkin Decorating, page 6
counting numbers 0 through 10, and making groups of numbers of
greater or less than. In reading, her students are identifying what the
S.T.E.M. Assembly, page 6
letter sounds like, and in writing her students are writing sentences to
Books, Music & Movies,

Captain Cage
By Savannah Lewis, Penguin Press Staff
Mrs. Cage’s students are always excited to be at school. It is
wonderful that they are eager to learn. In math, they are
beginning topic 3 which is learning the numbers 6-10. In
reading, they are learning about “there” in Unit 2. In writing,
they are using their Kid Writing Journals and have been
writing about their Fall field trip. Mrs. Cage likes that all
fifeteen of her students give their best effort. According to
Mrs. Cage, the funniest thing that one of her students did was
use a new word that isn’t a word at all. The word was…
“Glassable”. On Halloween, Mrs. Cage had an activity day
that included all Halloween-themed student centers. On
Thanksgiving, Mrs. Cage’s class enjoyed their own
Thanksgiving feast. When asked, Mrs. Cage shared that her
favorite thing about being a teacher is watching her students
grow from the beginning to the end of the school year.
Interesting Facts: Did you know
Mrs. Schlesing doesn’t like sports?
But, if she had to pick her favorite
sport it would be Olympic figure
skating. When Mrs. Lindsey was
interviewed she shared that she likes
the sport of baseball the best. On
the other hand, Mr. Sciecinski said
that if he had to choose only one
sport, he would choose football as
his favorite.
Did you know Mrs. Schlesing and
Mrs. Lindsey both like Fall as their
favorite time of the school year?
When Mr. Sciecinski was
interviewed he simply stated that he
likes all year, especially during the
school year when he gets to spend
time with all of his little first
graders.
It is no secret that this school year
has a fantastic first grade! 

SPECTACULAR SECOND GRADE
By Gianna Ellis and Catherine Taylor, Penguin Press Staff
Do you know the second grade teachers? Well we do… they are Mrs.
Hopkins, Mrs. Lumley, and Mrs. Rosset! Second grade is working on
some great things so far this school year, inlcluding learning consonant
blends, completing Halloween writing activities, addition and subtraction,
phonics, and writing story structure in their Journeys books. All of the
second grade teachers like what they are working on and are very
knowledable and good at teaching these skills. The second grade teachers
are working on these skills because it’s part of the second grade
curriculum. All the teachers agree that learning these new skills is easy
for some students and hard for other students, but the teachers are trying to
challenge their students. The next skills that the second grade will be
working on in science is changes, place value in math, adding larger
numbers in math, arrays and repeated addition in math, and learning about
communities in social studies. Interviews with Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs.
Lumley, and Mrs. Rosset uncovered that in every second grade class
science is the students’ favorite subject. That is all for now of what’s
happening in the super second grade! 
Superhero Math
By Sophia Pantuliano and Julia Kuehl, Penguin Press Staff
This year we had a super assembly starring Joe Romano! There was
lots of cool superheroes. There were many tricks. Our favorite was the
one with the magic wand. It was amazing! Joe goes to schools
everywhere. Last year he did a magic show in our school too! How
does he do it? Maybe we will never know. But, we sure do know he’s
amazing. We wonder if he will ever come back. We hope he does. If
he does come back, what will he do next? People got called up to go
on stage. It sure was fun! We hope you liked super hero math!

Fall Festival
Mrs. Wood likes teaching third grade because when her students
leave 3rd grade they’re more independent than when they first came.
She also likes how they read more chapter books. She also wants to
teach third grade forever!!! She also believes it’s going to be a good
school year. Mrs. Wood is teaching her students subtraction with

Like Mrs. Wahl, Ms. Raucci also wants to teach third grade
forever!!! Ms. Raucci likes teaching third grade because her
students are more independent. Ms. Raucci also thinks it will be a
very good school year this year. She and her class are working on
multiplication, rocks and minerals, cause and effect, and character
traits. Her favorite subjects to teach are cursive and multiplication.

Questions and Answers With The Special Education Teachers
By Abigail Fisher, Penguin Press Staff
I sat down with the special need helpers to see what they have to say. First I talked to
Mr.Santini and this is what he said…
He has no concerns. He thinks the kids are supportive of each other, are welcoming to
everyone, and that Pennell is great. He also thinks the kids are fun, and that the staff is great.
For you folks who don’t know Mrs. Fichter has left and here is what she said for her last
newspaper interview…
She will miss the kids the most because they are all excellent students. She’s happy about the
move though, because she can help even more children.
Mrs. Creighton has love in her heart and this is what she said about her kids…
She teaches 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade kids who need help in reading, writing, and math. She says
the kids are energetic, follow directions, and always put a smile on her face.
Last year the PTL had a logo contest for
students to draw/create their own Pennell
spirit wear t-shirt logo. Pictured above is
William Newnom holding his winning
logo design that will be seen on Pennell
spirit wear this school year.
FABULOUS FOURTH GRADE
Mrs. Kayser loves this school and this is what she had to say about that…
She thinks it’ll be a great year because she has such a great class. She is not upset about the
move to Pennell because Pennell is a great place to be even though it’s an adjustment.
Mrs. Dillon has moved onto different things and this is what she said…
Yes she’ll miss all the students. She loved working with the kids. Pennell felt like a second
home to her. She started here in her schooling career. She’ll also miss all the smiling faces.
By Kristine Guenther and Brandon Cairy,
Penguin Press Staff
Mrs. Marabella is the new special Education teacher who has replaced Mrs. Fichter, and this
is what she had to say…
Hi, welcome to fourth grade! This is what
they’re doing this year. First, let’s talk about
Reading Counts. Mrs. Bray’s class has about
7,000,000 words, Mrs. Nielsen’s class has
about 8,000,000, and Mrs. Zebley’s class has
about 3,000,000 words. Some interesting things
they are doing this year is the vocabulary
parade, poetry café, and the fourth grade luau.
Another interesting fact is that for science the
fourth grade does a whole bunch of cool things!
Mrs. Nielsen teaches water and landforms, Mrs.
Bray teaches animal studies, and Mrs. Zebley
teaches about electricity. Currently in math all
the classes are learning different skills. Mrs.
Zebley’s class is using mental math to multiply,
Mrs. Nielsen’s class is using rounding to
multiply, and in Mrs. Bray’s class students are
multiplying by 10 and 100. That’s a little bit of
information about fourth grade so far this year!
She thinks Pennell is a happy, exiting, fun new place to work. She use to work at a private
school for kids with disabilities called Devereux.

Fantastic Fifth Grade
By Danielle Gavlishin and Alexsandra Volturo, Penguin Press Staff
HELLO PENNELL FRIENDS. We are going to tell you about Mrs. Green. She likes all subjects, but she likes math and social studies the best!
In math, the fifth grade is working on doing division and multiplying decimals. In science, students are looking at objects under the
microscope. In writing, students are starting informational text. In reading, students are learning about cause and effect, and are finished
reading their story. Last but not least, in social studies, students are learning about colonies and even started online distance learning on the
topic of Williamsburg. That is what Mrs. Green is doing in her class so far this school year.
Do you know about Mr. Gorniok’s class? Well, we are going to tell you 4 things about his fifth grade class: (1.) Class room goals… Their
Reading Counts goal is 13 million words. Their second class room goal is for everyone to have the best school year ever. (2.) Their Reading
Counts word goal altogether as a class is 2.6 million words. (3.) Their favorite class subjects are writing and reading, but they love them all!
(4.) Finally, the fourth thing is that in math students are working on division.
Have you heard about Mrs. McDougall? We are going to tell you about her right now. According to Mrs. McDougall, her fifth graders’ goal is
to increase their Reading Counts goal. Sadly, they are starting science very soon. In spelling, her stduents are learning about the bossy R.
Sounds. In social studies, her fifth grade students are also learning about the different colonies. That is what they are doing in Mrs. McDougall’s
class. We sure wish we were in her class!
That is all for now… we hope you enjoyed all our information about the fantastic fifth grade!

YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY… RECESS!
By Teagan Williams, Penguin Press Staff
Hello Pennell people, this is Teagan Williams writing to you about your favorite part of the day… RECESS! I’ve heard that there is a new game
that the majority of 4th grade is playing. The game is called Sharks and Creepers, which is basically a new version of sharks and minos. Tons of 4th
graders claim that this is the best game they have ever played. What is your opinion about this new game?
In 5th grade there are several, may I say, ‘intense’ games being played such as basketball, four square, kick ball, and soccer. Everyone is always
playing a different game every day and I think playing games or sports is the best way to spend recess. What do you think?
Issue 1 Dedication
Issue 1 of the Pennell Penguin Press Newspaper is dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Virginia “Ginny” Seleyo. Mrs. Seleyo was a lifelong resident
of Aston, graduated from Sun Valley High School in 1967, and worked in the Penn-Delco School District at Sun Valley High School for 27 years.
While at Sun Valley, Mrs. Seleyo dedicated herself to assisting students in the guidance office to secure college scholarships and pursuing their
future education. She enjoyed making crafts, gardening, reading, doing puzzles, and spending time with family and friends at the Jersey shore. Mrs.
Seleyo loved penguins, and it was her wish to donate many of her favorite penguins to Pennell since the penguin is Pennell’s school mascot. Mrs.
Seleyo’s penguins can be found all around Pennell and will be loved by future generations of students. Mrs. Seleyo will be greatly missed.

BOOK REVIEW
Movie Review
By Rachael Walker, Penguin Press Staff
Have you ever read the book titled, Because of WinnDixie by Kate DiCamillo? It is a 2001 Newbery
Medal Honor Book. It was about a character named
India Opal Buloni and the dog she found at a store.
The dog’s name was Winn-Dixie, and the dog was
named after the store she found him in. She asked her
dad, the preacher, to keep the dog. Sadly, at first he
sad No, but then he changed his mind and said Yes to
keeping the dog! I found this to be a really good book
to read. It is also a Reading Counts book and is about
20,000 words. This book has also been made into a
movie! I hope you get a chance to read this book and
also watch the movie soon!
By Jacob Fecanin, Penguin Press Staff
The new upcoming movie Frozen is about a town that is trying to get summer back.
The town goes completely frozen because the main character’s sister puts a spell on
the town. A group of friends and a talking snowman named Olaf try to help bring back
summer. I hope you get a chance to go see this movie in the movie theater soon.
The end.

Penn State
Nittany Lions
By Darren Panusky, Penguin Press Staff
Penn State has been playing great so far. They
had an amazing victory over the Michigan
Wolverines 43-40 in 4th overtime. I hope Penn
State can make it to a bowl game. Penn State
and their head coach Bill O’Brien are trying
their best!
Baltimore Ravens
Sports
Babe Ruth
You may not have heard of Babe Ruth, but he
is one of the best baseball players of all time.
He is in the baseball Hall of Fame. In his
tremendous career he hit 714 homeruns. He
lead all of baseball in homeruns until Hank
Aaron beat his record with 755 homeruns.
In the 1932 game 2 of the World Series, Babe
Ruth pointed his finger to the center field wall
and that is exactly where he hit the baseball.
That was the most famous homerun of all
time. Those are some facts about Babe Ruth.
Make sure you check him out!
The Baltimore Ravens were the Super Bowl
champions last year. By defeating the
Cincinnati Bengals they kept their playoff
chances alive. I hope they can make it as close
as they can to the Super Bowl this season.
Babe Ruth

Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers are doing way worse than last year.
They have a losing record so far this year. Last
year they at least almost made it to the
playoffs! I hope they can turn things around
and start to win fast!
Kansas City Chiefs
By Darren Panusky, Penguin Press Staff
The chiefs finished their last season with 2 wins
and 14 losses, which was tied for the worst
team in the league. Now with their new head
coach, Andy
Reid, who is the
former head
coach of the
Philadelphia
Eagles, the
Chiefs are off to
a great start in the
2013-2014
football season.

Soccer
By Abigail Fisher, Penguin Press Staff
David Beckham is a very famous soccer
player. He kicked a soccerball in a game
from the half line and made it in!
Rumor has it that he dented the ball
when he kicked it! That was why the
defenders couldn’t stop the ball.
At age 16 he
followed his
passion and
joined his
favorite English
soccer team. With
50 million fans
on his side he
was easily a
famous soccer
player. Famous
David Beckham
for his free kicks,
Photo curteosy of
corner kicks, and
http://www.forbes.
passing made him
com
extremely
accurate. It wasn’t until 1993 that he
properly joined the team.
During the finals, sadly David Beckham
did something he would very much
regret. While he was playing he kicked
another player. After that he got a red
card and couldn’t play, and his team
lost. It took a while for people to forgive
David Beckham for his mistake.
