Reporters- Jenna, Corbin, Seamus                Topic: Social Studies
      One day we went to Mrs. Hacket's classroom.  Since her rug is a map and we are working on maps we went there.  Her rug has labels naming the continents and the oceans so Mr. Hacket covered them with black paper.  We had to find the continents in three seconds otherwise we would be out of the game until the next round.
