LAKE WALES – Reviews are in, and Mrs. K’s Reading & Writing Café at Janie Howard Wilson Elementary is a big hit with “customers” who order extra servings of reading questions, vocabulary words and writing riddles.
The Café is a Wednesday-only project of Sharon Kochanowski’s fourth grade students, who invite guests to join them for lunch with a focus on language arts.
