The air in Mrs. McKeown's Grade 3 classroom smelled of pine needles and cinnamon. The ____ were very excited. Their work was all ____ and it was the last day before the winter break. The class had just decorated the biggest Christmas tree the school had ever seen. "Oh, it's perfect!" cried Saya. "Wait a minute," said Carson, scratching his head. "I ____ we are missing something important." Mrs. McKeown, their cheerful ____, walked up. "What seems to be the trouble, Carson?" "The ____ tree is beautiful, Mrs. McKeown, but... where is the top sparkle? The ____ silver star!" Everyone looked up. He was ____! The beautiful, twinkly star that belonged right at the top was gone! "Oh dear!" Mrs. McKeown said. "____ could have taken it?" "We have to find it! We decorated the tree ____," said Aydin. "Okay, children, we need to ____! It has to be ____ nearby," the teacher suggested. They began to look. Saya looked under the rug. Carson looked behind the bookshelf. Aydin looked ____ in the craft cupboard. Suddenly, Saya shouted, "Mrs. McKeown! Come ____ me! I see something shiny!" She pointed under the ____ desk. There, tucked against the wall, was the sparkly star! But it was too far back for anyone to reach. "It's too far! We can't ____ it!" shouted Saya. "We need a plan!" said Aydin. "We need to ____ something to get it." The ____ brought over her long, thin ruler. She carefully pushed the star out from the wall. Tap. Tap. The star moved closer. Finally, with a last gentle ____, Mrs. McKeown ____ out and picked up the star. "Hooray!" the children cheered ____. The ____ stood on a little stool and placed the star right on top. The tree shimmered! "Now that's a good way to finish our last day!" smiled Mrs. Mckeown. "I think we are all ____ that this is the best holiday tree ____!"
