Our News this Week
Grade 5 Field Trip to the Mullins Center
Grade 5 students were wonderful representatives of our community while attending this event and we were very proud of how they were able to enjoy themselves while exhibiting appropriate, positive sportspersonship at the game.
Thank you to all of our caregiver chaperones and a generous RKFRR community donation which allowed us to attend this event.
Self-Evident Education Lessons w/ Ousmane Power-Greene & Michael Lawrence-Riddell
Students explored resources from a lesson entitled "The Truth is Powerful". As described on the Self-Evident Education Resource Library:
- Through the inspiring and powerful story of Sojourner Truth, students learn about a powerful force of justice and the complexities and subjectivities of recording history, and in particular, the differing accounts of the life, work, and words of Ms. Truth, and how we read and understand those accounts today.
