Two more weeks of fun

Last week Friday totally flew by without a posting from RCE...so we need to think back to all of the things that have happened in the past few weeks.

Students enjoyed shopping for books from Holland Elementary in Holland Pennsylvania.  It's still amazing how many books were sent and how many were shared with students at RCE.  We had a few boxes left over and have sent them through an RCE Girl Scout troop to another school affected by Harvey ....so Holland Elementary continues to give to the Houston community affected by Harvey again.  Thank you, Holland Elementary!

Last week was "Walk Texas".  Ms. Fancher encouraged students to get out and walk the track.  Thank goodness we had some wonderful weather for students to walk the track at 10:00!

Perhaps we should challenge the students to walk the track every day!

Love our Watch Dogs!  The kids adore the time on the playground and in the classroom.  Kindergarten loves to play Tenzi with the Dads ....we can hear the laughter all the way to the library!  What an influence these Dads have on our children.

The Library has been a busy place - lots of activity - from computers to creation!  So much fun to watch the students explore.

Ms. Lowery returned to read, Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed, at Rummel Creek to Second Grade students.....great book to share!  

We have a roving reporter for KRCE and now we have a student-created newspaper in the works.  So excited to see what these girls have up their sleeve - perhaps they will take over the weekly blog!

Layne Lease and Sydney Richman.

Love to encourage young creative minds -  Isabella Smith and Audrey Cook have taken Astro Fever to the next level - enjoy their story!  (It's a video)

Now to the event that everyone is ready for - Fall Festival.  3rd Graders in Ms. Gandolfo's class kindly made videos to highlight the raffle items. Enjoy their video!

  Our KRCE Roving Reporter asked a few students what they love about Fall Festival Enjoy her video !

And finally, Book Character Parade was today!  Love watching the children share their favorite book characters and costumes throughout the building!  Such an exciting way to end the week!  Enjoy this animoto of the morning!

Looking forward to the Barbara Bush Foundation Build My Library - Harvey Relief - It's going to be an exciting week - look at all of the boxes to unpack on Monday!

Stay warm!  Cheer on the Astros!  Thank goodness its a Fall Friday afternoon!

An amazing two weeks

Somehow last Friday I forgot to write the weekly blog, well, actually the training was so exciting that I ran out of time.  So this week....a little extra long!

We had Dot Day at RCE.  The Dot Day art projects are found on the windows of the Library and on the bulletin board in the front hallway.  Such fun sharing the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds.

Last week students and dads enjoyed a morning of "Donuts with Dad".  The courtyard was filled with students and dads visiting and eating donuts.  So glad the weather was good and we could be outside.

It's the middle of October and we're just now switching out our KRCE crew.  September crew was fabulous and now we're watching the October crew step up and take their place!  Training week is CRAZY in KRCE!

This week we have a new Roving Reporter - Kendall Davis - she has two videos this week - one will share a "normal" broadcast and the other is one of interviewing students.  Enjoy.  We also have a link to last weeks video by Jack Cashin.  Hope you enjoy these movies and you can see a little of what goes on in a week at RCE!

The Watch Dogs are back on the Rummel Creek campus.  So glad to have the dads back to help out in the classrooms.  The dads make a big difference at Rummel Creek and the children love having their dads at school!

It's been two weeks of being a receiver.  Often RCE is the school that gives and gives and gives.  This week, Rummel Creek received 23 boxes of books from Holland Elementary in Pennsylvania to help students rebuild their home libraries.  Each book has a note from a student to one of our students.  An amazing gift to receive.  It has been fun unboxing the books and reading the notes.  All the notes are written with love and concern for the students at RCE.

Another gift, this time from a school in Kentucky, is a painting sending good thoughts and wishes to the students at RCE.  It is such a nice feeling to know others around the US are thinking of the students at RCE.  

Finally, Student Council's Food Drive for our Sister School Sherwood.  So far we have collected 777 cans and packages.  777 items surpassed our first challenge of 750 items!  Way to go Roadrunners.  We are still accepting food in the library through Thursday for the Food Pantry in Spring Branch. Just drop off what you have in the Library.  Thank you for your generous gifts of food for others!

As you can see....RCE is a very busy place!!!!
