learn vocabulary words. Each Friday she has her fifth grade students
watch the “Week in Rap Junior” video, which tells about current events.

“We won!!” she said. The next day she got an email saying her class had
won and they will be “shouted out” to in their Week in Rap Junior video
on Jan. 15. This is a national contest open to all K-5 classrooms, she
