Just a friendly reminder that we have a mid-winter break. We do not have school on Monday, February 19th or Tuesday, February 20th. We look forward to see everyone back in school on Wednesday.
Mrs. Rice's Reflection
Good Evening, Riverside Families,
Thank you again for your continued support. Conferences were very well attended. It was so good to see you here and we appreciate working together for your kids.
If you didn’t get an opportunity outside your students’ classrooms, please take the time to take our survey about Why I Chose Riverside. We will be sharing this with future Riverside families, and you can remain anonymous if you choose.
Have a great long weekend with your families.
Mrs. Rice

Intervention Information
Literacy does not begin and end with only reading foundation and comprehension skills, it also includes writing. Oftentimes we forget, even as teachers, that if a student is an excellent reader, there may be opportunities for them to progress in writing or spelling. This is an area that is often difficult to engage students in as they not only have to brainstorm ideas, but they also have to create a writing piece. If they struggle in any area of writing, it can be difficult to pull them into a lesson. One way to assist in this is to have them engage in small writing activities at home that are less pressure in order to ease them into the idea of writing. Below are some quick ideas that can be incorporated into every day.
Have your child write instructions for taking care of the family pet. These will be useful as you plan your summer vacations!
Write a letter or thank you note to a relative. Talk through what your child wants to say before writing begins.
Make a shopping list before going to the grocery store.
Write an online review of a book or an item you recently purchased or a recipe you tried.
Talk about the presidential election and write a description of the kind of president you want.
Find a picture in the newspaper and write an article to accompany it.
Start keeping a personal diary, a household guestbook, or a baby book for a younger sibling.*
Intervention Night
Riverside Reading and Math Interventionists invited families to learn more about how to work with their child at home. Megan Wonnacott and Lindsey Renoos coached parents and guardians on how to use their reading and math take-home materials to help their children reach academic targets. We love our family partnerships!
