📚✨ Fourth grade RLA Classes had a fantastic time wrapping up Unit 1 on personal narratives! We read an inspiring story about Peg, who had polio, and celebrated with some delicious chocolate milk (just like Peg's milkshake!). 🥛 We even picked up marbles with our toes to mimic the physical therapy exercises polio patients might have done! And guess what? We played Candy Land, a game created by a teacher who developed it while in the hospital! 💖 Learning and fun go hand in hand & you can tell by the look of these precious, smiling faces.

🌟 Today, all of our Goshen Creek family had the wonderful opportunity to view a special presentation from our friends at the Parker County Agriculture Department!
