Everyone is so excited for the Publishing Party. I shouldn't even get started with the people who really wanted it. They were the most excited people in the whole entire class and a lot of people were very excited but I knew they were the most excited of everybody else. I could tell by their faces but I don't think they exactly wanted to listen to other people’s stories. I think they just want the popcorn Ms. Sprague is buying us for the Publishing Party. I think Ms. Sprague is just buying popcorn so everybody will stay silent because it’s always really loud so if we get popcorn we can’t really speak.
A few days later...
It was the day of the Publishing Party. At morning meeting Ms. Sprague told everyone that it was the day of the Publishing Party. A good amount of boys and a good amount of the girls were really quiet. They raised their hands and made the silent signal, so everyone would stay silent and then everyone did stay silent.
A few hours later...
It was a period away from the Publishing Party. Everyone finished their lunches and lined up to go back to the classroom for recess.
A half an hour later...
We went in from recess and everybody realized that it was time for the Publishing Party. Actually, it was just a few kids, they said this “guys it’s time for the Publishing Party!” Everybody went wild. Ms. Sprague said “settle down everyone, settle down” and everybody did. Then Ms. Sprague said to everybody that they needed to sit at their table spot and she would call tables up to get their popcorn then get their book in their binder and sit in a circle on the rug. Then everybody rushed over to get their book in their binder and sit on the rug to share their stories. Then Ms. Sprague picked about 5 kids names out of the fish bowl and they all said that they didn’t want to, then finally somebody said they wanted to. Everyone was so excited. Ms. Sprague said to be silent, so everybody started eating their popcorn and being quiet. Then the first person shared and everyone listened, but after the person that went first finished their story about 5 people after that person got called from the fish bowl before. So they didn't want to go but only half the class got to share and I was one of the people that had to wait until the next two periods. The person that I was next to was the next one to go but then we had to stop.
After the periods...
It was finally time for everyone else that was going to share including me. I was so excited but also kind of scared because I didn't want everyone to think my story was too long. So when it was my turn I just read aloud to everyone and hoped they didn’t get bored with my story. So I read pretty quick so I didn’t take too long and before I knew it I was done and I heard somebody say this “that was an amazing story.” After that everyone went, and that is the end of the Publishing Party!!!
