This morning, after the school had gathered together for the second grade program, Mrs. Muirbrook received a call from Sparkle the Elf explaining that Santa needed to land somewhere, and QUICK! She said he could make a stop right there at Riverview.
In just 3 weeks, our first graders read 5,105 books! The goal to earn a Polar Express party was for each student to read 15 books, or 2,079 books for the entire grade! That goal was easily surpassed by these readers! The first graders were treated to their party and had a great time. Mrs. Olson promised her class that she would dress up if their students read, and she kept her promise as she showed up today as a Grinch character. Way to read, First Grade!
Students pictured are the top two readers from each first grade class.
Second graders provided some fantastic entertainment when they performed their Christmas program for their parents on Wednesday. The songs were fun to learn and were all about having a "Nice, nice Christmas." Students had so much fun singing about decorating trees, and asking Santa for what they wished for. One of the highlights was watching these students groove as they sang about reindeer dancing on their days off from work! They were invited to sing for Superintendent Nielson and friends at the district office, too. They will perform their show again tomorro
Second graders in Mrs. Galt's class learned about Michelangelo and his painting from their art docent this month. Students mapped out their drawing for their Sistine Chapel-like painting- on the "ceiling" under their desks! They discovered that this work of art was a giant undertaking for Michelangelo. These second graders designed their own version of Santa's Workshop. Great job!
First graders learned about fire safety from Mr. Jensen from the Murray Fire Department. He showed them in a fun way who fire fighters are and what they do. He demonstrated all the equipment and why they must wear what they do to protect themselves. Now the first graders know how to be safe and how to let the firefighters help them if they should ever need it.
NED came with a fabulous show on Friday! We learned a lot about life skills and in a fun and fantastic way with yo-yos!
NED stands for Never give up, Encourage others, Do your best. This reminds us to be the best Riverview Rams that we can be.
Yo-yos are on sale for $6.50, $10.00, and $15.00. They will be sold all week at recess time.
Our amazing counselor, Mrs. Smith, has been coming to our classrooms to share with us Part 2 of our Bully Blocker lessons. We began the year learning what bullying is, how to recognize it, and what to do to stop it from happening. Being a Riverview Ram means a lot. We have a big responsibility to help Riverview be a great, safe place to learn.
Kindergarten classes at Riverview wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
Our citizenship assembly was held today, November 15. Students who showed good citizenship throughout term 1 were invited to attend a bicycle stunt show provided by Rich Wieber from Minnesota. Rich and his son showed us awesome tricks on their bikes while teaching us about the importance of bike safety, making good choices throughout life, and setting goals.
Teachers were in on the stunts- Mrs. Galt and Mrs. Lacrua were among those chosen to be jumped over as part of the show. It's a good thing those guys are pros! It was great entertainment!
