My News Story - A Verbal Attack

This was the amazing news story I wrote!  In class we were studying journalism.  

A Verbal Attack On Mrs.Barnes In 
Her Own Classroom


Date: 10/9/19
On September 16, 2019, in the school of Glenridge elementary “Mrs.Miller verbally attacked me” said Mrs.Barnes. Mrs.Miller had stormed in claiming Mrs.Barnes had taken Mrs.Miller’s book, even though Mrs.Barnes did not have the book Mrs.Miller was looking for.

This book caused Mrs.Miller to storm into a ‘ordinary’ writing lesson on journalism, just after the 5th grade class had defined the word Journalism.

Mrs.Miller demanded her book, but Mrs.Barnes looked at her confused and told Mrs.Miller she did not have it, causing Mrs.Miller to start moving things to find her book, saying it had to be here somewhere.

The 5th grade class was curious and began to ask what the book was called hoping to help find the real culprit of the book knowing their teacher would not steal a book from anyone.

Mrs.Miller did not hear the kids at first, because she was too busy arguing. When she replied she said “it’s called Cognates of Coaching”
The book called ‘Cognates of Coaching’ does not exist. Asking eachother and looking it up has confirmed that.

One of the students named Ruben offered “Maybe Mrs.Kennerly has it” trying to get the spanish teacher in the middle of this and later claiming “She talks about cognates all the time!” 

Of course this comment caused Mrs.Miller to throw a bit of a tantrum saying “No, I know it was her!” pointing at Mrs.Barnes, the kids knew she was on the edge. 

Mrs.Miller could not find her book, making her say “fine! I’ll take this!” And then she took Operation Frog Effect right from the classroom just like that and left.

“I felt nervous and mad” David Worton said, he’s one of the 5th graders in the classroom during the time, and so was TreShaun Dent who said “I felt excited and happy because it was interesting” 

After what happened in class Mrs.Barnes said “Write!” And all the kids wrote, clearly still processing what just happened.

If I Was In Charge Of The World

I was told to write an If I Was In Charge Of The World Poem about what I would do to change
the world so I liked it. read it below (hope you like it :))

If I was in Charge of the World Poem


If I was in charge of the world 
I would cancel runny noses
Fighting with siblings
And Winter, but not the snow.


If I was in charge of the world 
Parents would not rule
Everyone would love books
And nobody would be competitive.


If I was in charge of the world
Books would be endless
Friends would be forever
Fun everywhere
And peace

In my world.
