Marching into September

With September comes the first field trips, open house, and class photos.  School is now a routine as students know where to go and what to do.  By mid-September, we are ready to learn - we have learned the school, know our teachers and follow the rules - we are now ready to tackle whatever comes our way.

Fifth grade started the week with a field trip - only this was an in house field trip - the exhibit came to RCE!  Students were able to go from station to station learning in the library.  Great fun and no bus rides!





Tuesday was individual student pictures in the library.  While the students patiently waited for their pictures to be taken, they enjoyed a video about Peter Reynolds the author and illustrator of the book "The Dot."  Thursday, September the 15th was International Dot Day so after sharing the book <The DOT> by Peter Reynolds as well as "Ish" by Peter Reynolds, the students added to Dot Day Creation Wall.  It was fun watching the students create using their imagination.  





Wednesday was "Watch Dog Day!"  We had newspapers and TV stations come to learn about our wonderful dad program.  We love having the Watch Dogs in our school.  This week we caught a few Watch Dogs in action!

Thursday was Open House for all grade levels.  It was so nice to see all of the parents at the school to meet the teachers and learn about programs at the school.  Lots of new faces mixed in with returning parents.  2016-2017 is going to be a great year!

Finally it's FRIDAY!  The rain cleared in time for recess.  The weekend is near.   PreK was awarded the SPIRIT STICK for their hard work in doing their best.  

Students on Tech Team finished their Telligami's and started with Book Creator.  It's exciting to see them learn the different apps.  Two dads were here today for Watch Dog.  It has been a VERY GOOD DAY to end a VERY GOOD WEEK!

Go Roadrunners!
