Panda and Aliens Adventure Problems

In this reading circle session, Miss Coralie introduces 'The Panda Problem', a story where the narrator struggles to find a problem for the main character, a panda. The panda, instead of having a problem, decides to create chaos by playing a banjo badly, singing, and causing jelly bean rain. Eventually, the panda and the narrator face a real problem when they end up in Antarctica without bamboo. With the help of aliens, they return home and enjoy a feast. The session concludes with a prompt for students to create their own panda problem story.
