A third grader remembers the trouble he and his classmates got into in second grade because of the class gerbil. Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-1 Gerbil runs amok! John recounts a day in second grade when the class pet decided to make a break for it, helped by some careless eight-year-olds. This story was originally part of a site-specific audio tour of our school written and recorded by third graders. The stories recount school memories ranging from kindergarten to third grade which reference specific locations, landmarks and objects on campus. While these pieces were originally created to be listened to on-site, they can be enjoyed on their own as well. We also recommend that you listen using headphones.
