Finally, to showcase a week of caring, RV Elementary chose to write some caring words towards someone or just in general. The students spent some time during guidance as well as by stopping and jotting down something on a heart. What a great way to display what's in our hearts during Sharing is Caring Week! Thanks to everyone for sharing and to Mrs. Regennitter for her work on the board.
More from RV Elementary's Sharing is Caring Week. The 5th graders showed some outstanding imagination in constructing their Valentine's boxes. As you can see, there were a lot of really cool ideas. The students made judging a very hard task to complete. In the end, Madie Rupp took home the award for "Most Colorful" and Katelyn Spahn-Pickens won the award for, "Most Original". Congrats to our winners and great job to everyone. It was an awesome display on Valentine's Day!
Last Wednesday, February 15th RV Elementary continued to celebrate Sharing is Caring Week with Cozy Flannel/Hot Chocolate Day. In the afternoon, classes made their way to the cafeteria for some yummy hot chocolate and a bit of down time. It was an enjoyable time for everyone and their taste buds:). A special thanks to our kitchen staff for their hard work in making the hot chocolate for everyone. Thanks Mrs. Chapman, Mrs. Bakker, and Mrs. Kline!

Yesterday morning, our RV preschool classrooms hosted "Dude's Day". The dudes and some dud-ets enjoyed a donut with their their kiddo while crafting model vehicles and aluminum boats.! It was a great turn out and a great morning of bonding that is for sure:).
Yesterday, RV Elementary held its February Lift-off. Among other things, we celebrated February birthdays and half birthdays, KDT drawing winners, and had a "Snowball Fight" with pieces of paper that had a caring phrase on it. The students tossed the paper around a bit and then collected one. Later in the day the students read the phrase on their "Snowball" in their KDT groups and discussed the importance of sharing and caring. The students and staff will talk more about the motto, "Sharing is Caring" next week during Sharing is Caring/Valentine's Week.
Ms. Skye's Preschool A has been studying ice and snow. This week we are learning how animals survive in the winter and today is HIBERNATION DAY! The classroom is a dark cave and everyone is in jammies to prepare to sleep through the winter.

Next week, RV Elementary will celebrate Valentine's Week or "Sharing is Caring" Week. We have some fun dress up days planned along with some activities to promote the importance of sharing and caring. Students will also be encouraged to place a heart (with a kind word or short phrase) on the bulletin board shown below.
This week in conjunction with our "Sharing is Caring" theme, we will have a "Snowball " fight at our February Lift-off (crinkled up paper with a caring word or phrase) and also conversations about those kind words and more during our KDT groups. Should be a blast!
