LIBRARY - Valley View Elementary

Library in... 

April

We will also be enjoying more books  and learning more library skills and literary skills.  The students will participate in a MakerSpace each week during part of their library class time. This is a time when they can build, create, and explore in the library.
We will  also talk about our School to School school in Zambia and get to know them a little better and their culture.  This is ongoing all year.
