Spirit Week and Our RICAS Pep Rally

 Another eventful and busy week in the books for us.  Spirit Week was a blast seeing all of the students showing off their spirit on all the various theme days.  The week ended with a fantastic pep rally to get our 3rd-5th graders ready for RICAS.  Thanks to our student council for all their hard work and dedication.

Teachers/staff and students got in on all the fun.  The pep rally was loud, fun and sent out a great message for all.

Amplify Science:

We are continuing with animal senses.  This week the children took part in an experiment that involved using their sense of sight, touch, smell and hearing.  They were given viles filled with things and they had to guess what was inside based on whatever sense they had to use.  It was great to see the children shaking the viles, smelling and touching what was inside.  They worked together to figure it all out.

Station Rotations:

The children are doing a better job in their stations.  They are working on assignments in Wonder, grammar, Epic, IXL and Lexia.  They help each other out and complete the work that they have been given.

Reveal Math and RICAS practice:

In the past few weeks we have been working collaboratively on figuring out math problems which may be part of their testing.  They work with manipulatives to figure out the answers using the UPS Check strategy.  

Social Studies:

The research continues for their live wax museum work.  The children are finding information about the Rhode Islander that they chose.  They want to learn all they can about the person so that they will be able to report out everything they know about this person.  

If you still haven't donated for our raffle basket, there is still time.  We will be collecting outdoor toys/games until Tuesday.

Our ELA Ricas begins on April 4th and 5th.  We know the children will give it their all and put in 110%.

Please remember to send in the money and slip for the April 6th Spring Fling.

Spring Pictures are tomorrow.
