Today was spent making memories before we parted ways for winter break. We played games, collected some data and had a snack with our reading buddies, watched a movie, and enjoyed some warm hot cocoa, all while we were cozy in our pajamas. Riverside Central Elementary School

What does it look like to be a part of the Riverside Central Elementary School family? This right here. When one 5th grader was feeling sad about it being the last day, another stuck by his side through lunch and recess. I’m going to miss this incredible group of kids!

We visited the new @RochPubLibrary Book Box at station #4 to pick up our Summer Playlist! It’s a great addition to the NW end of town.

Today we learned what works when it comes to group work while searching for numbers. They nailed it! Staying focused, communicating, working together, planning, and thinking ahead. We also learned what doesn’t work, including large groups. This sets expectations for the year!
