One of our first stories in our new reading series is Clark the Shark. The students took turns reading pages out loud to the class using a microphone. They are working to learn classroom procedures and did a great job showing respect for the person reading.

After reading the book "The Name Jar" students in Mrs. Liska's class talked about the importance of names and people correctly pronouncing their names. As students became better acquainted, they decorated name plates before the start of their next core subject lesson.
