The Turkey Trot
By Jiannie Rivera
Hi it is Jiannie. I want to talk about the Turkey Trot. The turkey trot is when you run a mile or two. It was at Cobbet elementary school. The gym teacher Mrs. Marrie planned the Turkey Trot for our school. We started at 7:15 and trotted until 7:45. Lots of Cobbet Cougar kids ran the Turkey Trot. In my opinion it was awesome! I think they should do it again next year also. IT was really good exercse, as I ran moe than 12 laps. What did YOU think about the Turkey Trot?

Letter From The Editor
Welcome back to the Cobbet Chronicles!
The reporters at Cobbet have been hard at work, brainstorming ideas about how to bring you the latest news! They have been gaining lots of new tech skills throughout this process: creating keynote presentations, saving and using images from safari on an iPad, and using wireless technology (iPads & air drop) to share ideas and collaborate with one another when editing and publishing our writing.
It has been so exciting to see reporters back from last year as well as many new faces on our team! I hope you enjoy reading their writing as much as I do!
-Miss Kelsey Bartlett, Editor-in-Chief
Stuck on Reading Challenge
Mrs. Garrity offered an exciting incentive to her students last June. Each child who completed their summer reading was promised a piece of duct tape to use as part of a group effort to tape Mrs. Garrity to the wall. On Friday, September 30th she held up her end of the bargain! The challenge was a massive success, with a 500% increase in the number of students who complete their summer reading. Congratulations to all those who participated, and a special thank you to Mrs. Garrity for being such a great support to her students!
Monsterville: A Book Review
By Marlin LeBron
I read a book called Monsterville, the author is R.L. Stine. He also wrote all of the Goosebumps books. I'd give this book five stars ***** because it was very very interesting! It was about a group of friends hanging out at a Halloween carnival. Their names were Kellen, Beth, Luke, and Nicole. They went to the Hall of Horrors where Beth got lost and she found out that monsters are real! So that's all and I hope you enjoyed reading my review! What do you think, are monsters real or not?
Other books to check out by R.L. Stine:
