Mark Twain Elementary

Pirates and soldiers took over the MT Library! 🏴‍☠️⚔️

Our 4th graders dove into history and literature by writing voice-over letters as Revolutionary War soldiers and reading Treasure Island. They even kicked off the unit by creating their own pirate names!

Both engaging activities connect directly to CKLA learning in the classroom. 📚✨

"Being a Special Education Paraeducator and Professional Therapy Dog Handler at Mark Twain gives me the chance to make a difference in the lives of students in so many ways. I had so many incredible educators while I was in school who believed in me, and I try to bring a bit of them with me to school every day for 'my kids'. I absolutely believe that laughter and learning can go together... what can you expect from someone who has also been a professional clown for 41 years...and I try to bring a bit of fun to class. Being a Para is one of the toughest jobs I have ever done mentally, physically, and emotionally, but when a student makes a breakthrough...wow...THAT is what makes it all worth it." Ron Johnson
