Welcome to Third Grade!

Hello and welcome to third grade! My name is Miss Valentino and I am so excited for the 2018-2019 school year! This is my third year teaching at Walnut Hill and it is also my third year teaching 3rd grade! I was born and raised in Omaha, Ne! I attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney where I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and Mild-Moderate K-6 Special Education. I have a wonderful 2 year old dog named Gigi. She can be very naughty and keeps my hands full. I am currently in the process of getting my master's in Special Education. This is going to be a fun an exciting year and I can't wait to get started!

College and Career Ready

Each classroom at Walnut Hill has adopted a college or university to encourage our students to be college and career bound. Our classroom is lucky enough to have Oklahoma State University as our adopted college. You can find more information about OSU here.
