CAST out Bullying

Submitted by amy.nelson on

The Student Council at Riverview presented an assembly to remind us about our No Bully Policy.  In this assembly, the cast taught us the acronym CAST, in dealing with bullying should it happen.

C stands for "Be Calm and Confident"  A stand for "Walk Away and Ignore"  S stands for " Tell them to Stop" and T stands for "Tell a Trusted Adult". After the assembly, the council members hung posters throughout the school and classrooms to help us remember.

If we see or experience bullying, we can take these steps to help stop it.  Great job Student Council!

5th Grade Wax Museum

Submitted by amy.nelson on

5th Graders produced another fabulous Wax Museum this year!  The rest of the school was able to visit the museum and learn about famous people from history this morning.  Parents and families were able to attend tonight. From Annie Oakley to Elvis Presley, 5th graders researched and summarized the lives of those who helped shape history.   There was a lot to learn from these students and their research.  A lot of preparation went into this event.  Thank you for a great show, 5th grade!

Will We See the Teachers' Talents?

Breaking News!  There are only a few more days to get your cookie dough orders in for our school fundraiser.  As part of the incentive to place orders, students could potentially see their teachers show off their talents in a talent show!  So, get going and sell!  Let's see what talent the teachers have at Riverview!  Every dollar helps out our school.

Investigating Geometry

Submitted by amy.nelson on

2nd Graders were asked to build a cube using toothpicks and marshmallows.  Not only were they excited to work with marshmallows, they quickly learned that the marshmallows and toothpicks would help them determine how many vertices and edges a cube has.  One can tell by the looks on their faces that they had a great time and were very pleased with what they learned!

5th Grade Debate Tournament

Submitted by amy.nelson on

Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Thomson had a debate tournament in 5th grade.  Over the course of two weeks, students were required to create cases for both sides of a controversial topic, and practice delivering their speeches.  The event culminated in a single-elimination tournament between the two classes.  1st place went to Ryan and Moises, 2nd Place to Brooklynn and Dakota, 3rd place went to Bronte and Justice.  Congratulations!!
