River View Elementary School third graders made the most of the sunny weather and the new playground during recess on Friday. The inclusive playground was installed this summer. #202proud #funinsun
Today 4th grade students in Mrs. Schultz's class experimented to see the relationship between energy and speed. Students took turns rolling the ball using very little energy. Student observers counted how many seconds it took for the ball to hit the wall. Then students rolled the ball a second time using more energy. Student observers again kept track of the time. Students observed that more energy increased the speed and made the ball bounce back.

The PTO Back to School Fair is underway! We have games, food trucks, a bouncy obstacle course and the Book Fair! We wrap at 7:30, so there is still time to come on down and join the fun!!!!!
This year the district is encouraging the implementation of restorative circles in our classrooms. Teachers received training on how to use this teaching strategy effectively. This will build class community, sense of belonging as it gives students a voice in their room, but it will eventually allow students to be empower to call a circle together themselves to discuss concerns that might impact their classroom. Having a dedicated 15 min SEL block at the start of everyone’s day helps to support this initiative and start our students’ off with their best foot forward! Everyone from Kinder to 5th is trying it out!!!
