Mrs. Sumners' second-grade class had a fantastic time reading Misunderstood Shark: Friends Don’t Eat Friends!
After the story, they dove into a fun “Shark Attack” game where students picked cards showing different behaviors. They had to decide if the behavior was friendly or not-so-friendly. It was a splashy way to talk about friendship and making kind choices — with plenty of giggles and sharky fun along the way!
