To celebrate the hundredth day of school, young children all over the country sing songs, shout cheers, read books, count numbers, chant poems, make murals, and string Froot Loop necklaces.  When I was a kid, no one celebrated 100th Day.  Now it’s huge. 

During the week of January 28 - February 1st PTA will be focusing on Brain Power as part of White Ribbon Week. Students will learn tips to avoid the three media and technology Brain Dangers.  Students are invited to stop by the Brain Center at lunch to try a new physical activity and mental challenge.  The week culminates with a video of brain-boosting activities filmed and submitted by students themselves!

Riverview Science Fair is open to parents on Thursday, January 31st from 12:45-2:45. Come and support our students and teachers!

We had the BEST citizenship reward day! Cosmo and the dunk team came and talked to us about being mentally strong and being kind to others.

Right before Christmas break, 2nd Grade Teacher, Mrs. Nielson was awarded a grant from the Nebo Foundation and Donors Choose, to purchase supplies for an updated listening center in her classroom.  Mp3 players, personal devices, new headphones, books on CD and flexible seating choices are all being purchased to help students curl up with a good book and enjoy reading on their own.

During read aloud in Mrs. Harrison's this month, we have been reading this book, Two Truths and a Lie. We hear all three of the stories, discuss what could be false, and then read to find the answers. We have been learning all kinds of surprising facts about the plant and animal kingdom in an engaging way. We have even come up with a few of our own Two Truths and a Lie.

This is after a lesson on kindness from Hannah Edwards. Kindess is coolest!
