Celebrating Culture and Our Learning

A huge thanks to all the families that joined us today to celebrate the awesome learning of our students!  They worked hard to learn about how where you live impacts how you live by comparing and contrasting two countries.  Their writing was amazing and the breakfast foods this morning were very tasty.  

The RES Quest ~ Our New School Song

On Monday, fourth graders had the honor of working with Jon Gailmor.  Jon Gailmor is a talented songwriter, singer and educator.  We invited Jon Gailmor to RES to help us write a new school song!  Fourth graders focused on our core beliefs: Respect Yourself, Respect Others and Respect Your Environment. They thought about how these words that we live by make Richmond Elementary School such an incredible community and place to be.

Flynn Trip: Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters

Earlier this week, Susanna Olson, a teaching artist from the Flynn Center for Performing Arts came to RES to preview some of the acting techniques the actors will be using when we visit the Flynn to see the show Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters.  We also learned about some of the props that will be used in the show, especially spirit poles and masks.

If you find extra time over vacation, it might be fun to try out some of the additional activities available in the activity guide.  Of particular interest to third graders might be the exploration of the many variations of the Cinderella fairy tale, particularly since we will be diving into a writing unit after the break!
