Miss Ingram reads "Our Class is a Family" written by Shannon Olsen, and illustrated by Sandie Sonke.

OUR CLASS IS A FAMILY begins with the unseen narrator saying that when you think of family, you might picture Grandma, parents, maybe cousins or a twin. But family "doesn't have to be who you're related to. It can be a special group who love and care for you." The narrator points out that a classroom can have some of the same things a family has -- a pet, art on the walls, folks who care about you and "have your back." Then various scenes show the diverse classmates being kind and respectful to one another, demonstrating empathy and compassion. It ends with the teacher and classmates in joyful unity, as the narrator reminds, "So let's always remember what a great team we can be... We're a classroom family."
