Melody in Dillon, Colorado

Dillon Valley 4th Grade
Dillon Valley Elementary
United States
Dillon, Colorado
(Melody #035B0114)
We enjoyed reading about Melody and we were excited to get to know a student with special needs like Melody. We had so much fun with Melody here at DVE, and it made us think about all the challenges of being in a wheelchair in the mountains. It was easy to travel around the school with her because we have two ramps. The whole class made her feel welcome and Melody made many friends. At lunch she had people to sit with and met all the specials teachers. In PE some of the fitness stations were challenging, like the jump rope. For hockey she had a stick and could hit the puck. At recess it was tricky to play games, but we played farmer Sam at recess. Melody enjoyed playing Farmer Sam with the 4th graders. Melody learned about fractions, decimals and percents during Math. We went to the library and read to her. Melody made us feel happy and we enjoyed spending time with her!
We learned about the challenges of being in a wheelchair in snowy mountains. Our playground is very snow covered in the winter but we were able to play on the hardtop and kids liked including Melody.
