In the days before Pinterest and Youtube there were hotlines. Crisco had one. So did Campbell’s and Ocean Spray. Libby’s, Hershey’s, and Betty Crocker all had them as well. At the Butterball Turkey Talk Line, anyone could call up twenty-four hours a day and get answers to their questions: “Do I roast the turkey with or without the plastic netting?” “Can I pop popcorn in the turkey’s cavity during the roasting process?” “How do I thaw a fresh turkey?”

I remember back in my student teacher days I told my cooperating teacher I wasn’t cut out for teaching. “Colton is constantly out of his seat, Cameron tried to turn me off with the remote, Nicole is crying again, Nathan drew red dots all over himself and said he has chicken pox, and right in the middle of my math lesson, you know what Spencer asked me?”
“What?” She asked.
“Do you like buhsgetti?”
Mrs. Mathis and Mrs. Lacrua's third grade class participated in an integrated cause and effect drama lesson. The students were given a cause and then showed an effect by doing a tableau. The students are now cause and effect tableau professionals!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Riverview kiddos have been writing what they are thankful for. There’s nothing more real than asking a student a serious question to see what their response will be. Kids don’t have to try very hard to be funny-they just are.
“I’m thankful for guys!…like Spiderman guys, like Superheroes!
“My zebra!”
“I’m thankful for my family and Thanksgiving and even you, teacher!.”
“I’m thankful for X-Box and everyone who brings food.”

Veterans Day is an opportunity to honor and give thanks to those who have served or are serving in the military. It is sandwiched between the excitement of Halloween and Thanksgiving and this day can sometimes go unnoticed.
Mrs. Thacker's sewing class at Spanish Fork Junior High delivered Book Buddies to the first grade. Each student was excited to be able to choose a Book Buddy to have to read to at home or at school. Thank you Mrs. Thacker's class. We love them!
The 5th graders created a wonderful Wax Museum. 5th grade students researched and summarized the lives of many people who helped shape history. Riverview students and families were able to visit and learn about famous historical figures. Thank you 5th grade for your time and preparation. It was an excellent event!
To honor Veteran’s Day, Riverview students had the privilege to meet veterans. The veterans introduced themselves and presented a patriotic slide show. Mrs. Nelson led Riverview students in singing a patriotic song. We appreciate the sacrifices veterans have made so we can be free!
