M&M Contest |
|
There’s a big jar in Mr. Elliot’s Sweet Ecstasy candy shop, in
downtown Millersville. The jar is filled to bursting with M&Ms in a
rainbow of colors. There’s a small sign before the jar which reads,
“Take a guess! The one closest to the number of M&Ms in the jar by
Saturday night wins the whole jarful!” His jar of M&Ms has been the
favorite subject of discussion all week in Mrs. Field’s class.
Finally, she suggested that the class take a scientific approach and
try to figure out how many M&Ms were in the jar by running a series of
experiments... |

Little League Baseball |
|
Little League baseball is in full swing now and tomorrow night’s game
features the local favorites, the Tigers, against their returning
rivals, the Cubs, from the next town over. For the players’ parents,
anticipation was high for an excellent game as both teams were
performing well within their divisions. Five players in particular on
the Tigers team were expected to shine – these star players had all
been playing exceptionally well within the last few weeks and their
parents couldn’t be prouder of them... |

Motorcycle Rally |
|
Steven is a big motorcycle enthusiast and travels all over the country
to attend motorcycle rallies. This past weekend, there was a large one
in Indiana that he and three friends attended. Since each of them was
coming from a different location in the United States, they made plans
to meet at the rally the day before it started, so they’d have a
little extra time to visit together. Steven was the first to arrive,
he checked into the hotel and settled down at the local diner, which
is where they all agreed to meet, to wait for the rest. He didn’t beat
any of them by much, and they had a great lunch together while
catching up on each other’s latest news... |

Project Roads |
|
After lunch, Mrs. Fields rearranged her fourth grade class into groups
of three children each for a special project. The day's lessons had
revolved around Geography and the use of maps. She had a special
project planned for this afternoon which involved road maps. The
children would be plotting a driving route from Millersville to
Springtown, a town roughly to the east and about 100 miles away. Mrs.
Fields had decided to turn the project into a small contest - there
were five different routes that could be taken to Springtown, each
using different roads - the groups of student's who correctly plotted
all five routes would win a prize!.. |

Spring Cleaning Day |
|
Spring has arrived and Julia has the cleaning bug. The day was so warm
and sunny she just couldn’t help herself. It was spring-cleaning time!
She dusted and washed, moved furniture, shook out rugs, scrubbed
windows, and waxed woodwork. She got into a routine where she would
clean two rooms, then take a break, then she’d clean two more rooms,
and then take a break, until she was done (the start times were every
two hours from 9:00AM to 7:00PM). By the end of the day, she was
exhausted…but the house sparkled with cleanliness!.. |

Spring Curtains |
|
Located in a historical grand Victorian house, Handy Matters, the
local crafting supply store, was very busy on this April morning in
Millerstown. Five women had bustled in with spring fever in their eyes
and bubbling enthusiasm on their lips. They were going to redo their
curtains for spring! With great delight, the five women studied
fabrics and conversed with each other and the shop owner, Sally, about
colors and decorating rooms and their love of sewing. As it happens,
each woman was planning to redo the curtains in a different room of
the house, and their final fabric selections were all different
prints... |

Tobogganing |

This past weekend, conditions were perfect in Millerstown for
tobogganing. The snow conditions were good, the sun was shining, and

some point during the day, a festive air pervaded the hillside and a
toboggan relay race was enthusiastically set up. The teams, which
consisted of people of all ages, picked their favorite section of the
hill for the race... |
