We have a special bonus episode for you here - Concord South Side elementary hosts a special day for their students once a year called “Read Write Move” where students spend their day engaging in activities and events that encourage reading, writing, and moving. Chops Podcast was asked to lead a podcasting session where we worked with small groups of students, assisting them in creating their own podcast. In this episode, you’ll hear two different groups of students recording a podcast on what super power they would choose. In order to protect the students’ privacy, we did not use names, nor did we video record the episode. South Side Elementary, thank you so much for having us! Steve and I thoroughly enjoyed the time with the students. Here is Concord South Side with Favorite Super Powers.
