What the cast said
Welcome back to StoryBeam. The daily podcast where imagination shines bright. I'm Kat.
I'm Allison. Happy Wacky Wednesday everyone!
It is time for some high-flying wacky Wednesday fun.
Today our StoryBeam is shining a light on scales, tales, and silly classroom rules
as we read When You Go to Dragon School by Chelsea M. Campbell.
Dragon school is not like human school. You need to learn how to fly, roar, and breathe fire.
From roaring during circle time to accidentally singeing your homework,
going to school with little dragons is packed with wild surprises.
Let's jump in and see what happens on the first day of dragon class.
Let's get our ears on.
I've got mine. Ready?
Three, two, one. Let's read!
Here the cast reads When You Go to Dragon School by Chelsea M. Campbell. The book's own words stay with its author and publisher, so that part of the recording is not written out. Press play to hear it.
Imagine trying to turn in your homework after a dragon accidentally toasted it.
I love how wacky dragon school can be.
Co-host, if you were a dragon at dragon school,
what silly trick would you show off at recess?
I think I would start jumping off the slide.
And I would start to do the crazy dance on top of the stairs.
One foot would be on the stair,
and one foot would be bouncing on the down stair,
one foot would be bouncing on the top stair,
and my hands would be flanging.
Also, I would draw a picture up in the clouds
and it would look super ridiculous and crazy.
I think you would make the coolest dragon on the playground.
