Kindergarten Conversations...

Casual conversations with students are a highlight of my day.  Today I had the pleasure of joining a group for lunch. As you can assume, there were several great conversations taking place at one time. They all had so much to share but apparently thought that they wouldn't have enough time to share it all.  

With a smile ear to ear, I listened to the stories that came at me like rapid fire.  I heard about furry dogs, bike accidents, visits to grandma's,  knee injuries, arguments with brothers, and favorite bathing suits that no longer fit.

Your children are a hoot! 

And I....

Absolutely Love Your Children!

  

Oneonta Job Corps Makes a Difference!

Every Tuesday from 1:00-3:00 nearly 30 student leaders from Oneonta Job Corps volunteer at Riverside Elementary.  Our Pre-k through 5th grade classrooms and all special area programs are fortunate enough to have two consistent student leaders each week.  Positive feedback can be heard from classroom teachers, OJC student leaders, and our Riverside students.  This is a new partnership that we hope to continue for years.

How lucky we are! 

 

WOW!

Check. Us. Out.

Great Teaching - Great Partnership - Great Education

4th Grade Historians

For a research project this year the RS 4th graders are participating in the Sally Mullen Local History Award sponsored by the Greater Oneonta Historical Society. The theme of the project is, "Everything has a story... If this building could talk." Students selected a historical building in the Oneonta area and were required to write a historical research report and create a visual display or model to go along with it. On their own time, many of the students contacted a representative from the site to schedule tours and/or interviews.  The projects are AMAZING and will now be delivered to the Historical Society and entered into the contest. 

All the projects will all be on display at the Historical Society Open House taking place on June 12th.

Bike/Walk to School Day

Today was, "Bike/Walk to School Day" and we had a fantastic turnout at Riverside Elementary.  We had 34 participants who traveled a total of 22 miles this morning.  Congratulations to our participants.
