Shady Cove Elementary students learning new skills through broadcasting

Over at Shady Cove Elementary, instead of learning how to read and write through a book, students that are in Heather Neely's fourth grade class, are learning new communication and language skills through broadcasting and reporting.

Your mask is [take :generic] çááágenericáááÑ at shady cove, elementary kids that are a part of heather neely's fourth grade class, just down the hall on the right-hand side are getting a very unique experience, learning communication and language skills through broadcasting.

There's a lot of things that are challenging and the kids overcome a lot.

And in the end we get to see how much they've grown, where they were at in
