ADHD
!ADHD is a good thing. I have ADHD
!"#4,(%&#-./#5+,#12(3*#
so let me tell you why it’s good.
Before starting, you should know
that ADHD is the most common
behavioral disorder that begins in
childhood. However, it does not only
effect children. People of all ages
have ADHD. Now lets start
reasoning. The first reason ADHD is
a good thing is because it has a
never ending optimism. Why is that
good? Because you always ignore
failure. You also are not worried or
stressed. Secondly, ADHD is great
because you get hyper energy. I’ve
learned from www.aditude.com that
I can forget to be tired. Sometimes
my energy is for hyper focus. I can
also work for billions of hours. The
last and surely the best reason
ADHD is awesome is because
you’re silly and childish. I had
trouble with this topic so I went on
www.addcenters.com and this is
what I came up with. Being silly and
childish involves having fun and
making jokes. I also wanted to say
that being silly and
childish lets you
enjoy life more.
Now you
know why.
Mt. Vesuvius
!
)"#4672#-*82*+#9*(2:*2;#
Mt. Vesuvius was once a peaceful mountain towering
over a small town called Pompeii (in Italy). On August
24, 79 AD, it exploded. You had to run or you would
turn into a statue! You had a day to run.

AROUND CAMPUS
Twin Day
!There were so many
Sierra P., 3rd grade
twins and some triplets on
twin day. I have no idea if
there were quadruplets. Anyway, on Twin Day
some Student Council girls were taking
pictures of twins. I saw so many funny and
amazing twins wearing stuff
like tie-dye, the same jackets,
the same hairstyles, and many
other crazy things. Wasn’t Twin
Day fun?
Find the Jellybean Contest
By Penelope W., 3rd grade
!At lunch on Monday, January 26, 2015 there
were jellybean competitions. There were about 5
contests. Each round there were 4-5 contestants.
They would try to find the jelly bean without their
hands. The contestants would dunk their heads
in the plates of whipped cream and covering one
hidden jellybean. The first person to find a
jellybean would be awarded with another
jellybean. Emily C., one of the winners, said “It
was really fun and messy!” The jellybean
contests were messy fun!
Forté
!Hey Bubb Cubs! Stop calling this thing a
by Emmanuel L., 5th grade
mechanical pencil. Four of us 5th graders
have made a new word for this amazing
writing tool because we believe that it is too
awesome to be named after the less cool
“pencil.” This new word, Forté, is unique
and definitely a lot shorter to write than
boring old “mechanical pencil.” If you’re
hesitating because it might sound “dorky,”
just be aware that people of Room 19 (cool
5th graders) are already using it. We are
always open to new ideas for words whose
name you want to change. Write a letter and
post it in B-Mail addressed to Emmanuel L.,
Room 19.
Michael Katz
Performance
By Su Min L., 3rd grade
!Do you remember
Michael Katz’
performance? I do. I was
surprised by how quiet it
was. I think it was funny
how he made different
faces and voices. His
performance is a great
show. He made a random fairy tale into a
wonderful performance. He showed he read
a lot; and if you read a lot too, you can do it
too. I hope you had a good time watching
the performance.
How kids can make money?
Andrea A., 3rd grade
!Kids, have you ever wondered how to make money? Well kids today is
your lucky day because I can give you some tips. First of all, you can make
a lemonade stand. Make sure your lemonade tastes good or nobody will
buy some. Second of all, in the winter you can sell hot cocoa and coffee.
Probably moms and dads will buy coffee, and the kids will buy the hot
cocoa. Yum! Yum! Finally, you can have a yard sale! People will buy what
you have! I hope you like my ideas so you kids can make money.

Drought
!Do you remember the rainstorm we had on
By Su Min L., 3rd grade
December 15th? That rainstorm reduced the
shortage of rainfall by 20%, but we still
don’t have 80% of rain that we need. That
means we need that rainstorm four more
times! Lots of people had to stop their
activities and go back home about a
small flood in the hills. I hope
winter is not over because we
need 80% more rain. Editor’s
note: as paper was being
prepared for publication, we
received another rainstorm! We
don’t know yet how much this
latest storm will reduce the 80%
still needed.
Using C02
!Well you might be asking yourself
By Eliott L., 3rd grade
what is C02? C02 is carbon dioxide
(say: di-ox-side) and that’s what
comes out when you breath. C02 is
created other ways too. Another way
C02 is created is by cars. To use
electricity you need C02. Then the C02
gets in the air. To make less C02 you
should use your car less, turn off the
light when you don’t need it, and
burn less natural gas. If you do those
things, and plant trees, you can help
save the world.
How not to waste water
Bryan L., 4th grade
!People
should not waste water in any way. One reason
you should not waste water is because it is needed for
other resources. Such as drinking water and cooking. We
also use lots of water for cleaning, and growing plants. A
reason we should save water is because California is
getting dry. The way to save water is to use what you
need, like only a 5 minute shower. While using water,
remember not to waste it!
Troop 61174 Trying to make a difference
!Have you ever wondered what an animal’s life is like? Well, there are lots of pets in the happy
By Girl Scout Troop 61174
hands of many people. However, if you look closer, other cute pets are not so lucky. Dogs, cats,
rodents, birds, and other animals have to spend many their whole lives with nobody who loves
them. Animal shelters may seem like a good place, but an owner is better. For example, a dog’s
life in an animal shelter is being cooped up in a small cage, with no comfy bed, limited exercise,
and limited opportunities to be with other dogs. It’s like being a kid with no parents. But you can
help. Girl Scout Troup 61174 is helping to make a difference by volunteering at an animal shelter.
We’re helping by feeding and taking care of pets in
need, giving them love. Maybe you can donate
money or pet supplies. I’m sure they would like it!
Clearly, many animals could use some attention
and love. We hope we can help make a
difference.

Food review on Alexander’s Patisserie
Devran O., 5th grade

Su Min L., 3rd grade
served? Well if you have then I recommend going to
nice place called Alexander’s Patisserie in
downtown Mountain View. At Alexander’s Patisserie
you will find an assortment of tarts and pastries that
have all sorts of flavors and textures. This fancy little
place is not your everyday kind of patisserie. They
serve lemon tarts with silver flakes and make
garnished designs made out of whipped cream on
coffee. The quality is excellent and the food itself
looks scrumptious. It is a bit pricey but I think it’s
worth it. The interior of the building is just incredible.
The lights look amazing, and the chairs are super
comfy. Also the marble tables are nice and smooth
which makes a perfect table for a nice dessert. I
recommend eating a L’Orange. L’Orange is a
chocolate and orange flavored dessert. It has these
crunchy chocolate balls on the side that are really
good and some sort of tart, even though the
macaroons are tasty too. You can’t even put this
patissiere down because of it’s bathrooms, they’re
clean alright. Alexander’s Patisserie sits about 30-35
people and it’s usually crowded, but cleans out
pretty soon. Their service is 5 star, and it’s been like
that since their first day, on October 16, 2014. New
recipes keep getting created because there are a
few glass cases still empty. I guess you will have to
go try it out to find out what will be in these empty
glass cases, it’s up to you to find out!
should try The Lost Hero. In The Lost Hero
there was building, breaking, and some
magic. Three main characters, Leo, Piper,
and Jason, are on a quest to save a goddess
who walked right into a trap. They freed the
goddess. They also have incredible powers.
Jason has the power of lightning, Piper has
the power of charm speaking, and Leo has
the power of the blacksmith. I recommend
this book if you like Greek Mythology.

Earth to Echo & Big Hero 6
Anonymous
!Have you ever seen the movies Earth to
Echo or Big Hero 6? They’re both to coolest
movies ever! I won’t spoil them too much
here in this article since I’m going to talk
about them. In Earth to Echo, three friends
are in a neighborhood when their phones go
crazy. Then they sneak out into the
wilderness and find out what’s going on
(they’re in Nevada by the way). The rest of
the story you have to find out for yourself (I
said I wouldn’t spoil it too much, didn’t I?).
Now Big Hero 6 – you may know a lot about
it already. But it was an awesome movie,
huh? I think these two movies are really
good. What movies do you like?
Amulet
Sierra P., 3rd grade
!Amulet is a graphic novel series about a girl named Emily who finds a necklace in
her great grandfather Silas’s house (with her brother Navin), and becomes a very
powerful stonekeeper. She goes on many adventures. There are six books in the
series. These are the books in order: The Stonekeeper, The Stonekeeper’s Curse,
The Cloud Searchers, The Last Council, Prince of the Elves, and Escape from
Lucien. (You don’t have to read them in order.) Also, the next one comes out in early
2016! Kids who love graphic novels might love this series. They are the Bubb Library,
but are checked out often. Clearly, Amulet is a fantastic series

Charlie Hebdo
!Have you heard of the tragedy at Charlie Hebdo?
Emmanuel L., 5th grade
If you have, great. If you haven’t, you want to
read this article. Charlie Hebdo is a company in
France that draws cartoons for newspapers.
Some of their cartoons angered terrorists who
attacked Charlie Hebdo. As soon as news of the
attack got out, people swarmed the streets of
Paris carrying signs
saying “We are
Charlie.” What really
amazed me was the
fact that it wasn’t only
people in France, it
was people all over the
world! For instance,
when I was in San
Francisco yesterday I
noticed a billboard
saying “We are
Charlie.” I am
impressed by how a
single tragedy unites
the Earth.

Liam H., 4th grade
Emily C., 3rd grade
January I went with my family
and Mr. Franklin to see the
Lego display at the Palo Alto
Museum of American
Heritage. When we got there
we stood in a long line around
a glassed-in Lego city. One
Lego building had collapsed
when it was being transported
to the museum, and it was
displayed that way. It was
really fun. Even Kermit the
Frog was made out of Lego! I
also saw a huge Lego
dragon!
popular place for Bubb
families to visit during
school breaks. Lake
Tahoe is on the border
between California and
Nevada. If you go by
car it can take about
four hours to get there. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest
lake in the U.S. and is known for its clear blue water. In the
winter you can ski, snowboard, ice skate and sled. There are
more than 15 ski resorts around Lake Tahoe. Squaw Valley,
Heavenly and Northstar are the biggest resorts. In the
summer you can swim in the lake, go river rafting on the
Truckee River, hike, and even bike. I hope you have a
chance to visit Lake Tahoe soon.
Disneyland
!Have you been to Disneyland? Well it doesn’t matter, I’m
Amanda Z., 3rd grade
going to tell you now. When you first go inside you can see
wonderful things. There are two different parts of Disneyland.
One is Adventure Park, the other I don’t know. My favorite
ones in the Adventure Park are Goofy, Grizzly Peak, and
Soarin’ over California. Goofy was so funny because there
are a lot of turns. Every turn my mom and her friend
screamed. I liked Grizzly Peak, because you get really wet.
Also, you drop backwards or forward, because the raft is
round. In the other park I like Indiana Jones. You should go to
Disneyland.
Paso Robles Grape Crush
Penelope W., 3rd grade
!On January 16, 2015 my Spring Select
soccer team, the Blue Lightning, went
to Paso Robles to play in the Grape
Crush tournament. My team has
players from Huff, Stevenson, and
Bubb. There are three players on
my team from Bubb, including me,
Susanna (Room 14) and Tiffany
(Room 18). We played against
tough teams. The farthest team was
from Santa Barbara. Tiffany T. said, “We
didn’t give up.” We had fun and made
friends. We can’t wait to play in more
tournaments.
