    Holidays      What are holidays? Well, it is when you celebrate something special to you. Some religions don't celebrate a specific holiday like maybe Christmas or Easter and those types of holidays.There is always some history in holidays, like a meaning. So that is what holidays are so now we're gonna teach you all about some of the holidays.                    HALLOWEEN Halloween is where people go dress up. They can be anything they want.

"Spider-Man: Far From Home" by Charlie Baglio

Spider-Man Far From Home               Movie Review THERE ARE SPOILERS - BE CAREFUL! Hi, I’m Charlie Baglio reporting for the CP Millennium. I'm here to talk about Spider-Man: Far From Home . We can all agree that "Far From Home" was great and all the Sony stuff with Marvel is solved, so no need to worry about that. Now let’s get to the real review - I give it a 87%. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 90%. I personally really like the movie and it was different. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now completely in Phase 5 and things are changing. So in the movie they talk about Stark so much, that's what made me make it an 87%. NOW the Sony and Marvel things. Marvel is owned by Disney and Disney wants Spider-Man in the Avengers movies. But Sony currently owns the right to put Spidey in a movie, and they couldn't come to an agreement until now. In the movie, we see his name being revealed (Peter Parker) which I think is not bad to say, consi

Sacagawea by Analia Porello-Manna

Sacagawea was born in 1790 or 1789 the exact date is unknown. She was a Shoshone Indian. Her life changed in 1800 when the Minnetaree Tribe tried to  captured the Shoshone Tribe. Seventeen Shoshone people died in the fight.  After the fight,  Sacagawea became a prisoner. She was then traded to a fur trader to be his wife.  She had no choice but to marry him. At 15, she had her first baby (boy) named Pompey. In 1804, American explorers were sent to learn about new territories. They did not speak Minnetaree or Shoshone. So the fur trader volunteered Sacagawea to be their translator.  These famous explorers are known as Lewis and Clark.  On their third day out of the Fort Mandan, Sacagawea found some food, like wild artichokes. Then  they found a beach. Clark explored the beach. While on shore Sacagawea cooked a scrumptious dinner. Five weeks later on May 14, 1805, Sacagawea saved the expedition from disaster.  When one of the boats filled up with water, Sacagawe

The Community Park Scientist, by Lila Casto

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to interview Mr.Ullman about his new position and about himself in the world of education.  I know some of us are wondering why Mr.Ullman has switched jobs. I asked him, “Were you given the option to continue with science or did you have to take a new position as STEAM teacher?” “I thought about it and realized it's always good to try something new.” And that's how the STEAM in our school was born. Many students at CP are excited and looking forward to this school year in STEAM. I asked Mr.Ullman about what we would be doing this school year that he was looking forward to. He said, “Doing coding in any grade,” and, “Toy hacking, which is taking apart toys and electronics.” He also said, “Teaching people how to use technology better.” But before bringing STEAM to life at CP, Mr.Ullman was a 5th grade teacher for 20 years. He graduated college with a degree in film and video. Soon after, he went back to colleg
