So much so that now I’m writing another book review, specifically for you. I’ve gotta wonder if Coach B is purposefully giving me stuff she knows I won’t like so that you will read these articles. Either way, here we are, so enjoy A Mango Shaped Space as much as you possibly can….

Warcross

Winter Olympic Wrap-Up

The Winter Olympics are almost over as it is almost February 25th! This has been a very good Winter Olympics for the top 5 countries: Norway, Germany, Canada, Netherlands, and the U.S.A. Norway has 33 medals total, Germany has 24 medals total, Canada has 21 medals total, Netherlands has 16 medals total, and the U.S.A. has 16 medals total.

Following up on the Russian doping curler, the Russian team had to give back their bronze medals, which is very disappointing. Norway…

The Flupocalypse

The winter, with its bitter cold and biting winds, has procured yet another unpleasant threat to our well-being. A flu virus has been spreading quickly from person to person, leading to profuse illness, and, on occasion, even death. Fear not, however! The virus has not greatly affected our school, and Mr. Kennedy, the Upper School Principal, states that, “We’re strong, we will persevere, we are not panicked.” About 5% of the middle school student body has come down with the flupocaplypse, while only 4% of the upper school has fallen prey to the epidemic’s wrath. Two upper school teachers have been absent, while no middle school teachers have missed school as a result of the flu. Teachers and kids have been out more than normal in the upper school, though the extent of absences has been about what one would suspect for this time of year. When approached by us,…

Yes, today was they day they would succeed in killing their unkillable target…or so they thought, as the octopus evaded every single one of their attacks yet again.

Korosensei (unkillable teacher) is the target of this assassination classroom, with a 10,000,000,000 yen reward on his head (898,000,000 US dollars). For some unknown reason this unkillable super being who is going to destroy the earth on March 13 and whose speed tops out at Mach 20 has his heart set on teaching the E class. On the condition that none of the students will be harmed, Korosensei is allowed to teach the worst students at Kunugigaoka Academy. As Kunudon later explains, the E class is the…

In Filming

Most of the students in the Middle School have noticed something out of the ordinary happening around school this week. From Monday 10/15/17 to Wednesday 10/18/17 the Middle School is welcoming some very special guests, a filming crew who will capture the true spirit of the Middle School. Let’s start out with a quick introduction to who is on the crew. First up we’ve got Ben Kalina. Third grader Maia Kalina is the daughter of Ben Kalina, and she goes to school here at FCS herself.
