STOCKTON - A whistle and keys hang from a lanyard around the neck of Sokheap Heng. She wears a cream-colored pants suit, a blue blouse and a pair of white Air Jordans. Her black high heels sit under her desk.
She chirps. She squeals. She whispers. Her lower lip quivers. She bounces on her toes. She shimmies. She jumps.
Her fourth- and fifth-graders at Aspire Port City Academy, a 260-student K-5 charter school near downtown Stockton, are enraptured. They never take their eyes off her. They hang on each word. Sometimes, she even makes them giggle.
