Thank you Ms. Frey for coming into our class to teach us about the Kelso’s Choice Program. We learned the difference between a serious problem & a minor problem. Also, who we can talk to about the problem. @FreySchool @ViolaAchieves @violafourth

On Viola Math Day, 4K worked in teams to earn index cards by solving word problems. Each problem earned a different amount of index cards. After the teams collected their materials, they began the challenge to build the tallest tower. Our tallest measured 73 cm! @ViolaAchieves
