"We investigated Japan and practiced our chopstick skills in Big Class today. We understand that eating traditions are very different in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres." - From Agent Pen and Paper

One day I was hungry in my room. I went to the pizza store and I saw a pizza fish. The pizza fish, it looked so good, it was a sardine pizza fish. It looked like a fish but it tasted like pizza. I ordered it and then I went back home. And then I put it in my oven, it was so big that I ate it all up without any of my hands. I just ate it with my mouth, I was like nom nom nom. And then my mom came into the kitchen and she was like, “What the heck were you eating?!” And I was like “It’s too good mom, it’s too good.”

THE END

One there was a boy named Dismas and his friend Takai and Joseph. They wanted a piece of pizza and they went down to a candy pizza store and they ordered a pizza with heart candies and cotton candy. They took it home, they ate it and then they were so full they were throwing up all over the ground. They were sick because they had candy all over their pizza. And then they all had to go to the doctor and something was wrong with them. The doctor said “Something’s wrong wtih your children.” And then their mother said “Oh geez I told him not to eat that pizza! That stuff is expired.” And then Dismas said "No it wasn’t!" Then Takai said "Yes it was Dismas." And Jeremiah came and said (Because he was the one who made the pizzas) “It was expired! Because it was in the fridge for two thousand years. It was to teach you a lesson.” Then Gaby came and said “Hey, you took my pizza! I’m gonna beat you up now!” Then she gave him the right fist and the left fist. Then they both had bloody noses. Then the pizza woke up in their stomachs and said, "What am I doing here?" Dismas said, "Who is that!?" And the pizza said “Me, in your stomach!” Then Dismas tried to look into his stomach and said “I don’t see you though.” And the pizza said “I’m IN YOU!” Then Takai said, “Wake up pizza in my stomach, I want you to talk to me!” and then the pizza started screaming “AAAH!” THE END

Once upon a time there was a pizza named Mr. Happy Pizza. And he loved to eat everything but there was also a big flower called Greedy. He liked to eat everything. He would even eat you. He would suck you up in his little yellow hole and chew you up with his sharp teeth and he would spit you out like a piece of gum. And when he does that you’re gonna be chewed up forever. They were fighting one day over food and when they were fighting over food they were fighting over pizza. And the pizza was like, “No I wanna eat myself! I wanna eat myself!” And the flower said “No! I’m gonna eat you! I’m gonna eat you!” And then he said, “I am going to hurt you if you eat me in your tummy.” THE END

Today we invited Mr. Doug from Big Class into the FBI headquarters to explain what it means to be a Big Class author. Every special agent signed a contract vowing to work their hardest, write their best, and work together as we move toward publishing our book in December :: Special agents explored ideas for covers, titles and potential stories for our final book :: Some interesting things we learned: Giraffes love to dance if you play the right music, Spiderman would be way cooler if he could shoot sticky bubblegum from his hands, (he also loves hotdogs and chocolate ice cream) and we would really like to write stories that make our readers feel all sorts of emotions
