The Weekly Roar

Hello River Bend Families!

We've had a great week...a cold week too! We kicked off Unit 5 in Benchmark on Technology and Society. Kids are very engaged in the content. Our younger students are reading about robots and the older grade levels are writing about drones. We are also in an assessment window where students will be able to show their growth from the fall reading and math benchmarks to the winter.

It has been great having our kindergarten and first grade parents in the building for our music open houses.

This is just a reminder that in an effort to meet all of our state goals, the district requires us to send out attendance letters each month. Those went out this week. As always, I know there are extenuating circumstances that keep students out of school, especially with illness.

I've added several fliers of information below. Be sure to check them out! The next big thing I am going to be gathering information for is our first ever Career Exploration Day that we are going to hold on January 16th. The vision is to solicit different volunteers who can set up a table in the gym for students to walk by and start developing interests and passions. If you would like to share your career/trade/occupation with our students or you know somebody who would, please be on the lookout for a short Google form I will be sending out next week.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!

Each child as my own,

Jaime
