proud of.
“I think it would be better if
the students could choose the
name of the newspaper,” said
Jacob Ichinaga, the assistant
student editor.
So, the staff created three
possible newspaper names,
which are: The Montague Scoop,
Outside the Stables and The
Montague Bugle. The staff does-
n‟t want changing the newspa-
per name to become a yearly
thing. Sebastian wants the new
name to be permanent because
he said the staff wants to leave a
legacy for the school.

You might have noticed that
the newspaper in your hands
does not have a name.
We meant to do that.
In its second meeting of the
school year, the Montague
Newspaper Club staff decided to
change the name of the newspa-
per from The Montague Gazette
to something else.
Why? For many reasons:
First, the staff wanted the
students to choose.
“We want the students to
give us their opinion and make
them feel like a small part of the
newspaper,” said Sebastian
Aguilar, the current student edi-
tor for the school newspaper.
The staff decided a school-
wide vote would be the best way
to let students give their opin-
ions.
Second, the staff didn‟t like
the name of the newspaper from
last year. Some didn‟t even
know what a gazette is. (The
word gazette is a common news-
paper name.)
Overall, the staff preferred a
newspaper the students could be

Brain farts. The silent killer
in classrooms everywhere, Mon-
day through Friday.
But what is a brain fart,
really?
It‟s the kind of fart that
doesn‟t smell and doesn‟t make
noise but can be just as embar-
rassing.
A brain fart, for the purpose
of this article, is when people
forget what they were about to

Circle One Outside The Stables
The reason I chose this title for the news-
paper is because students also want to
know what‟s going on outside of our own
classrooms. I like it because it goes with
the Mustang theme. Vote for Outside The
Stables!
—Jacob Ichinaga
The Montague Bugle
Vote for The Montague Bugle, the most
original name on the list. I came up with
the name, and you might remember this
from the “Spiderman” comic series. I
actually like how there aren‟t many other
newspapers with the word “bugle” in it.

The Montague Scoop
Vote for The Montague Scoop, the best
newspaper title around. Fresh, unique,
entertaining — look out for The Montague
Scoop!

VOTING DIRECTIONS
1. Choose one of the three newspaper
names by circling it.
2. Tear this off and give it to your teacher.
3. Teachers collect the ballots and put
them in Mr. Will‟s box, please.

Fifth-Graders Help Put the ‘Science’ in Science Camp
On the first night, there was a campfire
where the cabin leaders and the teachers did
skits and the kids sang songs. On the second
night, it was astronomy night. The third night
was a night hike. The fourth night was a quiz
game and a dance.
“It was fun for me to see them out of
their regular classroom environment, out of
the school environment, and how well-
behaved, how interested, how on-task almost
everyone was,” said Ms. Stansberry, a combo
fourth- and fifth-grade teacher. “To see them
work with other teachers, the teachers from
the camp. I loved seeing their excitement and
how involved they were in the activities.”
Mary Joy Barroga said she liked Sci-
ence Camp, even though she had to face her
fear. She had to a hold a snake!
“At first, I was scared to hold a snake,
then when I held it, it‟s not that scary any-
more,” Mary Joy said. “It was soft and
slimy.”
By Isabella Glass
Most people think that Science Camp
is all about fun and games, but if you ask the
fifth-graders, they would say they learned
science as well. From the activities to learn-
ing science, it was all rated “two thumbs up.”
In other words, Science Camp is the high-
light of fifth grade.
You might ask what their favorite part
was: was it the friends that they made, the
scary stories, learning something new, the
hikes, or was it the dance party?
“It was really interesting for me,” said
Bianca Gutierrez, a fifth-grader. “(Before),
science didn‟t really interest me. … I learned
about science, about redwoods. That really
got me excited about science. … I enjoy it
more now.”
Science Camp was from March 28 to
April 1 at Walden West in Saratoga and has
provided an outdoor education experience for
local students since 1950.
Students that went to Science Camp
learned about the water cycle, the environ-
ment, and the different characteristics of the
different habits.
They also have an activity every night.

Elijah‟s presentation to show judges.
“I wanted to provide a process for
him to succeed,” Mr. Orozco said.
“He has high goals, and I wanted to
help him reach that goal, or at least
have a chance.”
Fourteen students were selected
with top honors and will compete in
the Santa Clara Unified School Dis-
trict‟s Science Fair May 11 at Wil-

At Montague‟s Annual
Science Fair on March 25,
students were scientists and
cafeteria tables had presenta-
tion boards instead of food.
Throughout the day, stu-
dents did their best to present
their projects in front of the 24
judges wearing white scientist
robes.
Leading up to the fair,
teachers and parents did their
best to help students prepare
for the big day. Even one stu-
dent who could not make it —
fourth-grader Elijah Barber —
was able to present to the
judges.
Third-grade teacher Mr. Orozco, who
taught Barber last year, helped him complete
the project about a balloon rocket before the
fair. When Mr. Orozco found out Elijah could-

It‟s baseball and softball season, and
Montague students are taking the field.
They feel good when the fans cheer
them on, getting a single, getting a double.
They might not be very good yet, but they
are at least trying and doing their best.
“It feels good when I get cheered on by
my family,” said Ryan Limprecht, a third-
grader who plays on the Padres.
Local baseball and softball leagues
start at T-ball. When players begin, they
don‟t always know what they are doing. As
they get older, they will be more experienced
from playing when they were young.
That is what keeps fourth-grader
Brooklyn De Guzman‟s head up even when
she has a bad game.
“It feels good when
I make a good play, even
though I had a bad day,”
Brooklyn said.
Students at this age
have fun just with the
basics, while older kids
care more about winning
than just enjoying the
sport. Older kids focus on
being perfect, but younger
kids don‟t worry about
making bad plays or strik-
ing out.
“I cheer everybody
on,” said Priscilla Marti-
nez, a second-grader who
plays on the Blue Angels.

Montague Students Are in a League of Their Own
science fair. They were half-talking about
academics and half-talking about what‟s
going in their personal lives.
For the students who thought the
teachers‟ lounge was fancy, you‟re wrong. It
is just a casual hangout.
By Sebastian Aguilar and Jacob Ichinaga
Many wonder what goes on in the
teachers‟ lounge at Montague. Here are your
answers.
The yet-to-be-named newspaper inter-
viewed some teachers to find out what goes
on. Ms. Nguyen, a fourth-grade teacher, says
she prepares for the next lesson and eats
snacks when students go to recess. Her favor-
ite thing to do in the teachers‟ lounge is relax
and talk and just rest her mind from school.
Don‟t think the lounge is a five-star
hotel. It has plastic chairs, old microwaves
and a worn, blue couch.
Even though the lounge has these
flaws, third-grade teacher Mr. Orozco says it
doesn‟t need any improvements, and he likes
the way it is. He said it improved with clean
tables and labels on cabinets and cupboards.
“I‟m going to give it a nine,” said fifth-
grade teacher Mrs. Rizzo when asked to rate
the teachers‟ lounge on a scale from one to
10. “I give the people a 10 because I love all
the teachers here. The reason I give the
lounge a nine (is) because I wish we had a
little more time in the lunch lounge.”
The teachers do not allow students or
any non-staff member to sit on the couch.
There was an unexpected door that is a bit
mysterious. The door was located in a corner
of the back of the room. Fifth-grade teacher
Ms. Ogden said the mystery door leads to
textbooks and other supplies.
In the lounge there is a TV and a board
with post-its. Many students have wondered
if there was a soda machine a couple of years
back — there was, according to Ms. Ogden.
Ms. Stansberry, a combo fourth- and fifth-
grade teacher, said they have so many micro-
waves because teachers bring food that needs
to be heated, such as popcorn.
During lunch on a Friday in early
March, the teachers were talking about the
Microwaves, but No Mystery at the Teachers’ Lounge

think?
“I feel frustrated,” Ms. Nguyen said. “No,
I don‟t think that kids raise their hands just to
raise it.”
In conclusion, when you get a brain fart,
don‟t get frustrated.
“Everyone does it,” Mrs. De Simone said.
Ms. Nguyen shared her experience.
“When I was in school I used to get brain
farts a lot,” she said.
Brain farts are very common. They
aren‟t deadly, and it is OK when you get
them.

say when someone asks them a question.
It usually happens when a teacher asks a
question and a student blanks out.
“I get it normally during carpet time,”
said Alexandra Corral, a fourth-grader. “...
People have to remind me all the time.”
Many teachers have different approaches
when students get brain farts. Ms. Nguyen, a
fourth-grade teacher, likes to be patient and
give students time to remember their com-
ment.
“I feel I need to help them with their
focusing skills,” Ms. Nguyen said.
On the other hand, Ms. De Simone, a
first-grade teacher, restates the question so
that the student will hopefully remember.
In Mrs. De Simone‟s class, her strategy
is to “just teach them in different ways,” she
said. “If they don‟t get it in one way, teach it
in a different way so they can try to remem-
ber it. Rephrasing the question over and over
again in different ways, or even 10 different
ways.”
Some kids raise their hands, then they
just zone out. Ms. Nguyen estimates that in a
day four of her students zone out.
When they zone out, what do teachers

student because he uses words like “gonna”
and “wanna.” The diary entries are organized
by the days of the week, which makes it eas-
ier to read and clearer. Also, each page has at
least one drawing that is usually funny.
This story is also awesome because Greg
is funny. He was supposed to take care of an
egg for one week in Health Class, but his
mom cooked it into a scrambled egg. “Can I
at least get a partial credit?” asked Greg
when he turns in his egg.
“The Ugly Truth” is the fifth book in the
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. It is my sec-
ond-favorite, but funnier than the rest. It
must be difficult for Kinney to continue writ-
ing great new books in the series. He is do-
ing a good job at writing these stories.
I look forward to reading about Greg in
the sixth book.
By Jennifer Ngo
The fiction book "Diary of a Wimpy Kid:
The Ugly Truth" by Jeff Kinney is about a
boy named Greg who mostly thinks about
what it will be like to grow up and go
through changes like his friend Rowley al-
ready has. He wishes for a growth spurt or
facial hair and wants them badly.
“And now that Rowley‟s got a pimple,
I‟m kind of anxious to get things moving
along,” Greg writes in his diary.
So he asks his parents when he could
expect things to start happening. It turns out
that when Greg‟s parents were his age, they
were way behind their classmates.
Students can relate to Greg in this book
because students worry about changes in
their lives like Greg, a middle school student.
Even though
fourth- and fifth
-graders proba-
bly don‟t worry
about facial hair
and boy-girl
parties like
Greg does, they
worry about
other changes
such as having
a phone, higher
allowance, and
later bed times.
Kinney‟s writing style and illustrations
make the story much better. First, his writing
is realistic and Greg‟s diary entries seem like
they really could come from a middle-school

Book Reviews
Second Grade-Third Grade Level
‘Bink and Gollie’ “Bink and Gollie” by Kate DiCamillo and Alison
McGhee is a combination of three stories about two best
friends who are very different. Gollie is older and more
mature, and Bink is younger and less mature.
Through their adventures in
the book, the girls learn about
compromise, personal space and
dealing with jealous feelings. It
also shows the reader that just
because two people are different
doesn‟t mean they can‟t be friends.
My favorite part of the book
is how Bink and Gollie stay
friends no matter what.
I would highly recommend
„Bink and Gollie.‟

Kindergarten-Second Grade Level
‘Shark vs. Train’ „Shark vs. Train‟ is a book that kindergarten and first-grade students would love.
It is silly and fun. It starts off with two little boys digging in their toy box, throwing out all the toys until they find what
they are looking for… a shark and a train.
The boys turn these two toys into rivals, and the toys battle to see who
is the “best.” They go in different situations to see who would be better at the
specific task.
My favorite part is at the end, when they are on the motorcycles.
They‟ve gone up ramps on the motorcycles and are now FLYING in the air.
And Shark‟s like, “Okay, this is getting ridiculous.” Train says, “Now would
be a good time for a break…”
The book‟s words are very limited, but the illustrations are really
beautiful and tell most of the story. It is engaging and creative. It reminds
me of „Toy Story,‟ the movie.

Out: Silly Bandz
Maybe it‟s their shape, maybe it‟s the
way they look. Something about Silly Bandz
became boring.
Silly Bandz are out of style.
After asking fifth-grader Deyanira
Espinoza Cervantes if she was sad to see
Silly Bandz go, she said, “Well, I kind of
(am) and (I) kind of (am not). I (am not)
because people kept making fun of you, and
I (do miss them) because if one of them was
your friend‟s bracelet (that they gave to you),
then it would kind of be sad to see them go.”
Deyanira had been wearing them for at
least a year and estimated she spent around
$5. She does feel bad for spending that
money because she could have bought some-
thing else, she said.
In: Vans shoes
By Amanda Weaver
Maybe it‟s their style, maybe it‟s the
way they‟re made. Something about the
uniqueness of Vans is creating a fashion
trend among Montague students.
Some people even have backup Vans
in their backpacks. Even teachers, the people
that are serious most of the time, wear fun,
colorful Vans.
Even though our uniforms make me
feel like I am in the military, I feel that my
Vans are the only chance for me to express
my colors and feelings. Blue. Pink. Purple.

“When a person chooses a pair, they
choose colors they admire, are passionate
for, and resemble them,” Casandra said.

grandmother‟s garden. Fifth-grader Justin Miguel was a blue-ribbon
winner for his project, “Which soda‟s carbon dioxides will last the
longest?” He said he got the idea when his dad bought him a Coca-
Cola at a flea market.
“I was nervous presenting (in front of the judges),” Justin said. “I
had to explain a lot of things, and that was the hardest because I had to
think fast.”
One of the judges, Susan Lange, has been a volunteer judge at
Montague at least five times, she said. She keeps returning because
students try their best and she likes to see students improve over the
years.
“It‟s cool,” Lange said. “Some of the kids are very shy; some of
the kids are hard to hear. Some are cute and enthusiastic. I try to en-
courage them.”
First-grade teacher Mrs. De Simone has coordinated the last
five science fairs after helping at the district science fairs for almost 20
years.
She started planning for this year‟s fair in January by finding
judges, then giving teachers packets for their students and working on
scheduling the day's events and waiting for projects to be turned in.
Fifth-graders develop their own projects; fourth-graders can enter by
themselves or with partners; third-graders participate as a team; and
kindergarten through second grade do class projects.
Mrs. De Simone also coordinated the events of Science Night,
which included simulated waves and tornadoes and how to make gak
and oobleck. Teachers and parents volunteered during the night, and
Mrs. De Simone said she got a lot of help from Ms. Enos, Mr. Orozco
and students like fifth-grader Bianca Gutierrez.
The students‟ Science Fair projects are a significant part of their
science exposure, Mrs. De Simone said. Students must use the scien-
tific method, have a strong hypothesis and understand controls, vari-
ables and conclusions. During their presentations to the judges, stu-
dents need to explain their projects and communicate what their data
and observations mean.
Next Up: District Science Fair The following 14 projects qualified for the district science fair May 11
at Wilcox High:
Amanda Weaver, Fifth, “How do different substances react to oil and
water?”
Christopher Schreider, Fifth, “How many lemons does it take to light
an LED?”
Daniel Wolf, Fifth, “Can waking up at different times affect your re-
flexes?”
Danielle Saribay Medios, Fourth, “Which beans grow faster and
taller?”
Jacob Ichinaga, Fifth, “Which length of a string makes a yo-yo spin
the longest?”
Jaeden Taypan, Fifth, “Which Nerf dart will travel the farthest?”
Jeremy Collado, Fifth, “Can you send a penny to orbit?”
Justin Miguel, Fifth, “Which soda‟s carbon dioxides will last the long-
est?”
Mary Joy Barroga, Fifth, “Where is the most bacteria at home?”
Nicholas Russell, Fifth, “Which is the best insulator for keeping coffee
hot?”
Nicholas Swanson, Fifth, “Simulating tornado in a bottle”
Nicole Solomon, Fifth, “Which plant will grow fastest in its location?”
Sebastian Aguilar, Fifth, “Which shape is most hydrodynamical?”
Solomon Paletua, Fourth; Timbang Francis, Fourth, “What will hap-
pen if you put the seed with no soil?”
Say What? At the Science Fair on March 25, there were tons of questions being
asked by judges to students. Here are some examples.
“What kind of glue did you use?”
“Is there anything else you‟d like to tell us about your experiment?”
“How many times did you do that?”
“What if I filled my mouth of air, would I float?”
“How did you measure?”
“How many trials?”
“Who did the nice chart?”
“Were the bubbles the same for all the different substances?”
“Could you eat this after three days?”
“Did you think of this project yourself?”
“What made you think of those four things?”
“Who cut the food up?”
“Did the paper get wet, or was it still dry?”
“Why did it stop after three days?”
“Do you ever eat dried fruit?”
“What did you see in your results?”
“What will rust faster?”

A group from Ms. Psycharis‟ third-grade class participated.
The Science Fair was extra special this year to Mrs. De
Simone because the fifth-graders started as first graders when
she began with the fair five years ago. She has noticed great
improvement in overall performance.
“The kids have shown a lot of enthusiasm,” Mrs. De
Simone said. “The data is getting better, more charts, better sci-
entific questions. … This is their exposure to science.”

When kids get older and they are try-

Kids like to be appreciated. They like

sportsmanship and the experience.
