Mrs. Chamberlain’s 1st graders set a big goal back in October: complete 500 AR tests while reading Miss Daisy is Crazy! 📚 After months of hard work and tons of reading, they hit their goal—so it was time for a sweet celebration! 😁🤩 Way to go, readers!

Mr. Harrison's class was doing some work with the CNC router in creating some projects today. #4teamvalley

Mrs. Weese’s class wrapped up their literature circles today, engaging in student-led discussions around Out of My Mind (Sharon M. Draper), Mockingbird (Kathryn Erskine), Keoko (Linda Sue Park), and No Place (Todd Strasser). Literature circles give students ownership of their learning—building empathy and sharpening discussion and critical thinking skills through meaningful conversation. Well done! 👏

Due to the dangerously low temperatures and windchills expected on Friday morning, in the interest of the safety of our students, Valley will be doing a remote learning day on Friday, January 23rd. Materials will go home with students and/or be available electronically. #4teamvalley
