FROM THE EDITOR

Joan Reynolds
Welcome to our first edition of the Shungnak School Reporter! The focus of this after-school club is to encourage writing and speaking skills. Students will be taking photos of school events and learning to plan, organize, interview, and summarize, as well as write clear and concise paragraphs on a deadline. We have a good turnout of new reporters – a staff of 13 so far! We hope you will enjoy our paper!

On Wednesday, September 27, my teacher, Mr. Rowley, my class, and I set up some snares for beavers on the new road behind the school. We will check the snares often. Our class has already skinned a beaver! Dolly, our Inupiaq teacher, is going to use the fur.

Academic Clubs

Battle of the Books

By Jasmine Jones & Laci Lee
In Battle of the Books, we read on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mr. Vince coaches the 5th and 6th graders and asks us questions about the books. Sometimes he reads to us. Sometimes we read to him. We go to the Battles from 3:30 to 4:30. We watched the video of Wizard of Oz because it is one of our books. Also, we drew pictures about it. The other coaches are Miss Wendy for Middle School, Mr. John for 4th graders, and Miss Emma for K-2nd graders. We love to read!
