A Class Divided Can Cooperate

Long before "Total Drama" existed, Alex was a happy and healthy 6th grader at Lincoln School. While he may be an airhead, he is good-hearted, seldomly getting in trouble with Ms. Maldonado.

Plot
Ms. Armida Maldonado and Dawn Smith are headed out of town for the week, and Ms. Maldonado has plans for her 4th grade class during that time.

Story
It was 8:00 in the morning at Lincoln School in Redondo Beach, CA. While some kids are out getting breakfast before their teachers come, others play on the playground before the first bell rings. Ring! Ring! Everyone lines up to go to their typical classrooms. From the 9 classes out on the big playground, comes the 12 happy students of Ms. Maldonado's: Miranda Leeker, Manuel Ruiz, Stephanie Martinez, James Clark, Gus Rodriguez, Alex Martinez, Damaris Macias, Spencer Shank, Evelyn Beale, Isaiah Phillips, Danny Robinson, and Tyler McGee.

Ms. Maldonado comes and collects her students for SSR, roll call, and their usual morning activity. Before Alex and Stephanie could go to their English classes, they are reminded by Ms. Maldonado--in advance--that they will be assigned to different classrooms, while she and Ms. Smith are out of town for a week-long conference. Stephanie is to go to Ms. O'Malley's class, while Alex stays with his math teacher Ms. George.
