Last week Mrs. Todd and the RV 8th graders traveled over to the elementary school to do some teaching. The 8th grade students taught our 4th grade a lesson on measurement. Specifically converting centimeters to meters and how to use a ruler. Our 8th grade student/teachers were: Ellie Hansen, Payton Trapp, Taylar Anderson, Kayla Beazley. It was a great experience for all.
After working hard on their Space Settlement Design, we got to tour Rocket Park. We were lucky to have Norm Chaffee come talk about the Saturn V which he helped design!
I'm so proud of how hard these 3 worked in their competition! The got plenty of real life experience working with others in a time crunch to make a product for their customer. Great job, Jacob, Teresa, and Maddox!!
8th grade finished their emoji sewing projects. Way to go 8th grade!
River Valley Elementary School just finished up Read Across America/Dr. Seuss Week. Classroom had some DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time throughout the week. Classes got together to read their favorite Dr. Seuss books. Yesterday, students and staff took part in dressing up like their favorite Dr. Seuss character. It was a fun and educational week!
Yesterday, we made it to Texas. We rode the ferry and spent a couple hours in Galveston. Today, students start learing about their specific department and how it impacts the space settlement and will begin their design with their company!! Good luck!!

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!
