Arthur and friends start 4th grade
It is the begging of the new school year. Arthur and them are walking to it. Except Muffy who always goes by Limo. They are starting third grade. DW and Bud came with them for they start kindergarten at the same school. They went inside went to their lockers and went in the classrooms. 5 minutes later Mrs. Cook came in. She is their 4th grade teacher. She is a bear.
"Welcome, you all to the 4th grade," said Mrs. Cook, "I am, Linda Cook, call me Mrs. Cook. I am, your teacher."
She then took roll call. Then came announcements. They can have fun on the first day and start work the next day. She does not give as much home work as Mr. Ratburn. She is a nice good woman who loves children and teaching. They will like her. Later at recess they are talking about her.
"She, does seem nice," said Arthur, "She, is a good teacher i heard."
"I think, she is nice," said Brain, "I also, heard she was a good teacher."
"I know, she is," said Francine, "I know her, she lies in the same apartment building as my family and me."
"Oh yeah she, sure does," said Arthur, "I heard she, does."
"We, got Miss. Jackson," said Bud, "She is, a nice woman."
"She sure, is Bud," said DW, "She, is a nice woman."
After recess came lunch. Mrs. MacGrady sure cooks good. She is still working there. She has no plans to retire. After lunch they went back to their classrooms. Maria got Mr. Henderson. And Jenna got Miss. Parker. Still at Lakewood of course.
"I wonder, who Jenna, got," said Arthur, "Since, she is not in our class."
"She, got Miss. Parker," said Brain, "She, is another new teacher."
"I, heard Maria got Mr. Henderson," said Muffy, "I heard, he can be strict."
"I also heard, that as well," said Francine, "But, i will talk to Maria about if he is."
"That, is a good idea," said Brain, "So, you can get the facts."
She did talk to Maria. That teacher is indeed strict. They don't like him very much. See what happens next chapter.
