How Our School Spreads Kindness!!!
What is kindness? Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
One way our school spreads kindness is there is a paws-itive attitude reward, which means that if you win you get a bagel breakfast with the principal and all the other kids that win. Another way Lincroft school spreads kindness is that we have an annual giving tree. We collect and give gifts around the holiday season to families that can't afford stuff.
Also, our school does a clothing drive for the families that don't have enough money for clothes. Last, we do a thing called "Stockings for Soldiers" that helps the soldiers that are at war right now. These are the ways our school spreads kindness.

Big Expectations
The day has passed...
Lincroft Elementary school was going to host a fall festival. The festival was going to raise money for certain events in the school. The festival was going to have games like ring toss, top the bottle, pony rides, and other games, but due to the wet weather, it was canceled.
This year's fall festival was going to be special because it was to be combined with the Trunk or Treat.

Toy Story 4
Why does this exist again?
Hi, guys, today I'm going to talk about Toy Story 4! I'm going to be honest and say that you can't even compare this movie to Toy Story 3. The writers were obviously out of ideas and it shows.
Anyways, I'll give a summary of the story so you'll see how lazy it really is.
:: spoilers ahead, you have been warned::
Bo Peep gets bought by an antique store owner. The toys now live with Bonnie and the story takes place on a road trip with her parents. Bonnie made a toy out of a spork with pipe cleaners and googly eyes. When Woody and Forky (the spork toy) fall out of the RV and get lost, they both go into an antique store because they think that Bo Peep might be in there. instead, they meet a broken doll named Gabby-Gabby who wants Woody's voice box. Woody runs but Forky is trapped. He mopes around for a while and then he sees Bo Peep and her lambs, as well as her friend .sigh. Giggle McDimples... and they all plan to save Forky-
YOU SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS, RIGHT? If you don't let me provide some examples...
1. They made it in the first place.
2. There's no symbolism likes the other movies.
3. All the characters are trying too hard.
But we can all agree that it wouldn't be a Pixar movie without two opposite characters bonding together, and well, it was made purely to profit off nostalgia. The only thing I liked was the animation. It was vivid and beautiful and the voice acting was pretty great! I was not very happy with the ending to the Toy Story franchise. I believe they could have tried harder. All in all, even though it wasn't Pixar's best movie, it wasn't their worst!

Life As a Teacher: How Do Teachers Do It? Part I
Mrs. Tardio
We had the honor to sit down with Mrs. Tardio to answer burning questions.
We first asked, " When did you first want to become a teacher?" "When I was 9," Mrs. Tardio responded.
"What's the most rewarding part of teaching?"
"Seeing the students, watching students grow and kids smile."
"Is teaching hard?"
"Some days are more challenging than others."

Royal Reviews: Our Brutally Honest Opinions
Juanito's
Juanito's is a Mexican restaurant that has much-cultured music, walls and of course, food. I felt the energy as soon as I walked in. With the music blasting and smiles all over people's faces. The waiter led us to our table where we sat and immediately took our orders. 3-5 minutes later, our drinks and appetizers came. The appetizers were nothing special. We ordered chips, guacamole, salsa and another food that I can't remember. Then, a different waiter came and took our dinner orders. I ordered two tacos. The waiter seemed young and didn't wear an apron. Just a shirt. In the same amount of time, (3-5 minutes) our food came. The taco had lettuce, shredded cheese, and ground beef. They were stuffed with the ingredients and an inch and a half thick. The taco was EXTREMELY filling and I could barely take a bite out of anything else. The taco tasted good... it's just that it was very filling and thick. Out of 5 stars, I would rate Juanito's a 3.5.
Beetlejuice on Broadway
Recently, I went to New York City and saw Beetlejuice on Broadway. It was AMAZING! The play was so much fun and it was perfect! BUT...one thing I have to note is the unnecessary amount of cursing! It was not needed to make the show as awesome as it was. Other than that, It was terrific and entertaining to watch. Beetlejuice was truly a work of art and my favorite play.
