Camp Read-A-Lot has been underway in Mrs. Cristi Aulbach's 2nd grade class at Northside. According to Mrs. Aulbach, students have enjoyed their classroom transformed into a camping wonderland! They have been reading with finger flashlights under their "tents" as they complete their camp-related reading and math activities. Why, there's even s'more snack mix to add to the adventure!
