Scott and the Class Clock, page 1
1Scott had a class blog. One day, the black clock on the wall had stopped. It did not tick. "When is lunch?" said Kim. "I want to eat!" No one could tell the time.
Scott and the Class Clock, page 2
2Kim was glum. "I will check the clock for my blog," said Scott. Scott had a plan. He got up on a big block to look at the clock.
Scott and the Class Clock, page 3
3It was not cracked. Then he spotted the plug. It had slipped out of the wall. It sat flat on the rug under the bench. "That is it!" said Scott.
Scott and the Class Clock, page 4
4He pushed the plug back in. Click! The clock ticked again. It was time for lunch! Kim was glad. The class clapped for Scott. That day, Scott's blog said the clock was back!
