Sharks in the Park

By Melanie Brinich

The Sharks in the Park podcast is presented to you by the 5th-grade students at Worthington Park Elementary. What started out as a vision and idea in Miss Brinch's ELA classroom has sparked into a class-wide project where students are collaborating, script writing, and peer editing about different topic ideas. On this podcast, you will hear all about the fun and adventures that take place in 5th grade.
