No School - March 10th-14th Spring Break
Greetings Richardson Families,
Last week our kindergarteners had a magical time at their Royal Ball, celebrating their reading unit. It was adorable to see everyone dressed up and proudly wearing their decorated crowns! Our 4th graders explored geography in a hands-on way using the Giant Minnesota Map, while 3rd grade enjoyed their trips to the planetarium - thankfully scheduled on days other than Wednesday, when the weather prompted a shift to E-Learning. Students also had a blast playing in all the snow that arrived this week. With all this winter weather, it's hard to believe that next week is spring break!
We hope this time allows for meaningful moments together as a family. To encourage screen-free fun, students can participate in Spring Break Bingo! These boards were sent home on Thursday. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tAxctnSfIU5oXuaEGLqwgEbkiC56ZCZ8/view?usp=sharing
(Lost your board and don't have a printer? No worries, you can always hand write out what activities your child completed to get BINGO on a blank piece of paper).
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, March 17th! Enjoy the break!
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the main office, Miss Susi, or me at any time. You can contact me at mhoude@isd622.org or 651-748-6910.
Together,
Mrs. Houde (pronounced "hood")
