RVS Week of Respect is October 5-October 9
Mrs. Sidney’s third grade class has been learning all about applying strong and weak forces in science! What better way to practice modeling these forces than with a little mini golf?
Working in groups, students designed and built their own mini golf courses using only books, cups, and tape. They had so much fun getting creative with their designs and then testing out their courses!
It was a fun, hands-on way to see how changing the strength of a force can affect the movement of an object. The students had a great time learning, collaborating, and, of course, trying to get a hole-in-one!

During the first week of school, Ms. Nazziola’s class read Our Class Is a Family and talked about what it means to create a classroom where everyone feels loved, supported, respected, and included.
Each student then wrote a special promise to their classmates about how they will treat one another and help make their classroom feel like a family throughout their 2nd grade year. 📚✨
What a wonderful way to start the school year! We can’t wait to see these promises in action all year long!

🔬✨ **Scientists in the Making!**
Our 5th graders explored what science is and what makes someone a scientist. They discovered they already have many of the same traits -- curiosity, creativity, questioning, and problem-solving! 🌎💡
