     We started third period by making our way to our seats while curiously admiring everyone's book projects from afar. We did our usual mindful breathing to start the class while writing down the Agenda. The Notorious Zurie read their blog, realizing their own mistakes along the way. After reading and correcting their blog, it was left to two final, scared, frail, children who haven't gone up to write their blogs: The Amazing Akira and Sad Sammy. The class collectively decided we should do rock, paper, scissors to know who should go up as the writer. 

    An intense battle began. I glared at Sammy with burning intimidation to make their shriveled confidence become non-existent. Rock, paper, scissors.... tie! Dang it! Rock, paper, scissors... "I won! I'm safe, phew!" A thought a once innocent and joyous child had before their happiness was forever destroyed by the blade of Notorious Zurie's merciless decision to pick me as the writer. I dragged myself to the front with a frown on my face.

    Ms. Nakada informed us how she found Ada Limon's reading of her poem, "The Contract Says: We'd Like the Conversation to Be Bilingual." We took our time to finish up our Book Projects and fill out the given form. Very soon after that, we were presented with various treats made by classmates for their Book Projects. Kids including Rami T., Eli M., Noa S., Isaac S., Notorious Zurie, and Adrian G. They all began to distribute the food for our feast. 

"It was scrumptious and yumptious."- Alejandro L.

    Early in our class, though, Ms. Denmark had to sub for Ms. Nakada, for she had to attend her meeting. The class was as excited as a starved child in a buffet. Everything tasted amazing, even Eli's soup. The commotion of the feasting children ended when the bell rang and we packed up for fourth period.
