For those parents whose kids are coming to I.S.49, don’t worry. Now of course I know you heard bad things about this school, but I assure you most of then are lies. Here are some tips to keep your child safe and out of peer pressure:
Safety Tips for Parents
1. Meet your child’s friends individually with your child and their friend.
2. Speak to your child about what happened in school today.
3. Be nosy without your child knowing or be nosy without snooping around.
4. Show up in school unexpected so if they are planning on cutting catch them in the act.
5. Be patient and most importantly don’t yell because the more you yell the more tuned out and frustrated you get.
For all you kids coming to I.S.49, don’t think you will not have help in this school. If you have any trouble you can go to counseling in Mrs.Bourne’s room on the first floor. You can also go toanyone in charge. Never think that you are alone. If kids call you names ignore them. So if you feellonely remember you have someone to come to.These tips should help both you and your parents make a smooth transition into junior highschool, here at I.S. 49.

If Grades Matter, Why Do They Shatter?
From Issue 5 winter 2007
By Manuel Valenzuela & Iger Ostreni
How much do YOU care about YOUR grades? Some people are “nerds” about their grades. Some don’t care, they just don’t study or do their homework.
Hello fellow students! This story will make you think more about your grades andhow much you care about them. Most people weknow do their homework during lunch or during their classes. You probably never thought that this was a big deal and was willing to take these consequences. Most think that the teachers won’t realize that they are doing their homework for other subjects. But once caught, you have a 90% chance of getting a call home or you home work being ripped in half. This happened to one of our fellow classmates during class; he was doing his Math homework. He shall remain nameless.
So now you are wondering doing homeworkin class shows that you care about thembut that is a definite NO. Well this shows thatyou don’t. By doing your homework in another class you are not paying attention to the lesson that is going on. There is why homework has the word HOME- in front (which means that you do it at home). After interviewing ten people we found out that seven out of ten people do their homework and just two of these people do it only sometimes. If in every ten people the results are like this then this proves that many students do not care enough about their homework. If some people do their homework in school, I recommend that you should wait and do you homework during Beacon or other after-school program.Next time you do homework in class (if you have a conscience) think about you grades and ask yourself: Do I Care About My Grades?

Sushi Break Out the Rolls!!!
By Cyndi Chin
There are a lot of varieties of food on the other side of the world; one I particularly like originated from Japan. It’s called sushi; one particular type of sushi is the California roll! They both can be found in a Japanese restaurant. California rolls are cooked unlike sushi. They taste really good in my opinion. Although I prefer California rolls, you can try other types of sushi.
What do I like about the California rolls? Inside the California rolls are avocados, crab meat and other things that make it delicious. My favorite parts of the rolls are the crab meat and the rice.
There is practically a sushi restaurant on every block throughout the city. Even thought it’s popular, it’s also unknown to others. I prefer to eat at restaurants because it’s easier but if you make it yourself it might taste better. If you go to a restaurant you might find a lot of types of sushi on the menu. You can ask if it’s good or not. The ones I enjoy are dragon rolls, and spider rolls. Making your own sushi is great, and it makes your mouth crave for it.
For those who would rather eat at home than outside, you can make your own sushi. You’ll need to go out and buy some ingredients. I suggest you’ll bring the list for this recipe with you in case you forget. It’s a lot of work making this but it’s worth it once you dig your mouth into it. If you have trouble searching for these items I suggest going to Chinatown in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. I usually shop there for food. Here’s what you’ll need:
a rolling mat
dried seaweed sheets (nori)
a cutting board
3 cups of rice
1/3 cup of rice vinegar
1 tbsp. (tablespoon) sugar
½ tsp. (teaspoon) salt
sesame seeds
1-2 avocados
1-2 cucumbers
imitation crab meat
Once you’ve gathered these items you can begin. Place a seaweed sheet on the rolling mat. Take some rice and press it firmly onto the seaweed sheet. Make sure to cover the entire area. Once the rice is evenly spread over the seaweed sheet, sprinkle the rice with sesame seeds. Turn the sushi layer over so that the seaweed is facing you. Place the crab meat, cucumber slice, and avocado slices lengthwise on the sheet. Grab one end of the sushi mat and start rolling the sushi sheet, doing so tightly and continually applying pressure as you roll to ensure that the sushi roll does not fall apart. Carefully remove the sushi roll from the rolling mat.
Place the sushi on the cutting board. With a knife, carefully slice the roll into bite-size pieces. Finally your sushi is ready!! I hope you enjoy it!
