Our winter break was great but we were excited to return to school. Valley View Elementary was a busy place today. We revisited goals in 1st grade, 2nd graders explored Dash Robots, and 4th and 5th jumped back into their language arts lessons.

Ms. Copeland’s 4th grade class at Roguewood finished their personal narrative unit. As part of the unit they read Peg Kehret’s book about her personal polio experience. They then made the connection to the board game Candy Land which has a deep connection with the polio disease.
