The magic wall
                                                 By Eliot

One afternoon two friends were walking and the two friends names were Rick and James. Suddenly Rick asked James to run into the wall to see what would happen. But neither of them new that the wall was enchanted and who ever would run into the wall would get stuck and turn to stone. So James ran as fast as he could and when he reached the wall he did not smash into it, but ran through it, but as he was  going through the wall he got stuck halfway and started turning to stone. Everyone walks past but looks.

The Strangest year ever

Mr. Johnson had been teaching for fifteen years and this was the most peculiar year he has had so far. Two of his students had disappeared without anyone knowing. Three kids said they had something to show me. They lead me into the bathroom were they said they could transporte me into a different realm. I didn’t believe them, any sane person with no evidence wouldn’t. I told them to explain more. All they said was walk through the wall. I did and I saw something so amazing but when I turned around all I saw were my two students stuck in the wall I had just passed through.

I wobbled from the punch, and fell into what seemed like a endless dream. I walked around and saw my house appear out of white mist. My mom opened the window and shouted, “ Come FAST!! We got a TRAIN TO CATCH!!” and with that, I hopped in the flying car, and we traveled across many lands, to the train station. I found platform 9, and RAN THROUGH IT!!! I reached platform 9 and ¾, and I saw a big train. I hopped on, and waved as I saw my parents go by...\

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! My alarm clock, AGAIN!! no...

I woke up.  “You're awake!” a raspy voice said.
“Where am I?.” I asked.

“Oh you're just in my hospital.” said the raspy voice again. It came from a plump woman in the middle of the room. She was hunched over a large kettle. She walked over and pulled a hair from my head. She popped it into the kettle. A video of my brother and mother came up. They were walking in and out of a wall. “What are they doing? I asked. “They are cursed to do that for eternity because of their crimes.” They lady said.

New Life By Claudia 100 WC

This was going to be a new life. No turning back now. Let’s go! As we slowly walked through the wall a bright light shined on my face. Only one word could describe what I was seeing “~Magnificent”. All of a sudden when I touched my face I felt warm streams of tears running down my face and neck. “When we find Grandmother let’s go out to eat” Kai giggled. As we got into a bubble car and started to drive off I couldn't help but look outside of the bubble. All the circle buildings floating it just so unordinary.

After a long day Josh and Hermit were walking home near a construction site. They stoped to talk about what the building might look like. They looked up for a instant second to see the cement truck collide with the crane! The noise made a thunder blasting sound to hear. Suddenly they noticed they were standing in a mold for a wall that was being poured at the second.
Josh and Hermit both tried to step back from the wall but it was useless because it was ultra quick dyring cement. Josh asked “ How is your day going Hermit?”

“What?”

    It was almost our turn in line we were waiting to go through the wall. Every year the wall opens at the kingdom museum. This was no ordinary wall. Besides the fact that you can go through it, inside the wall there is a magical unicorn that let’s you see the future. Each year it’s a different thing in the wall. Like last year it was a bunny that let you grant one wish. The lines get so crazy that they go all the way down the building. But we came a day early. “Next in line”!

She started bolting. Running. Leaping. How could I think it would stay a secret she told herself. Mary is a blabber mouth she complained. Cheating on the art fair by having her mom create an abstract art piece for her would not have stayed a secret. It was against the rules and would not be tolerated. She then abruptly stopped and started bawling on the ground. Her mother caught up to her. Instead of scolding her she just hugged her. “It will be okay”, whispered her mother. “Ok”, was all Beth could say before collapsing into her mother’s arms.

Jack heard a rustle in the bushes behind him. “What was that!?” he heard Martha ask from behind him. “I don’t know and I don’t want to find out!” and he broke into a run. He noticed Martha wasn’t behind him anymore. Stupid labyrinth. They had been stuck in the mysterious labyrinth for days now. He back-tracked only to find her running from a weird lion-snake animal. Not an animal. A monster. “Over here!” he yelled. A dead end. Then, out of a final desperation, he ran right through the wall and out into the real world...

We were in the cave.  We were close I could feel it in my bones.  I had been walking for days and my feet dragged as I walked.  I was walking in the cave when I see something I can't tell what it is but I start running.  As I get closer I realize it's a wall.  All of this walking for a wall.  I go to sit next to my sister and as I sit down my hand goes throught the wall.  I realize the wall is fake so my sister and I slowly and gently walk through it.

My class was reading a book about A kid who gets trapped at this house and there is this wall that everytime someone tries to walk through it they magically walk back into the house.  The book is called Thief of Always.  Only way he can get through is by using a cat named blue cat.  He can do it because he has a great sense of direction and smell.  After escaping the house he finds out that his parents aged 31 years but he only stayed at the house for 31 days.  His parents have changed a lot.

Hidden Figures Field Trip
By Adam

On March 16, 2017 the Esquire movie theatre opened early for one school and that school only. They opened up early for Glenridge Elementary School.

First, at the beginning of the day they went through their normal schedule, so they went to specials first. Once that was done the bus was ready to take them to the Esquire for the amazing movie Hidden Figures.The movie was about three african american women in the 1950’s. They worked for NASA and helped get the first american man in space. These women went through many hardships because of their skin color.

This was a very inspiring movie for the fifth graders at Glenridge. Here are some quotes from the participants:Eliot said “ It was the best and most inspiring movie ever.” Madeline said “It was a really good way to learn about that time in history.”

The Glenridge 5th graders will go on many other exciting field trips in the future.

I took a picture with my camera of a piece of chocolate to send to my friend to make him jealous. I put the chocolate in my pocket and went to the park. I was worried that it would melt since it was so hot, but it was still hard enough to eat. It did melt a little bit which turned my fingers brown, however the weather was beautiful. I spent around an hour at the park walking around, then I went home and basically did nothing for the rest of the day. It was a good day. The next morning I slept in.
