Ridgely Elementary School

We had our first two student hit the Impossible Shot so far in PE. Congratulations to Porter Rostien (3rd grade) and Grace Neilson (5th grade)! In order to be selected for an opportunity to try the Impossible Shot, students must be following all class expectations, on task, and putting their best foot forward each time. Who will make it next?!

Good Morning RES families,

Bus 7 will be running 15-20 minutes late this morning due to an earlier issue. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.

Thanks
Mr. Evans

Pre-K enjoyed their first class in the gym with Mr. Hester.  This week they focused on listening, animal movements, and even had a chance to use the magic scarves.

Good Morning RES Families,

Just a friendly reminder for car rider drop off to ensure the safety of students and families, please make sure that we are not stopping between the two RES signs on Central Ave as you approach Seward Rd. When cars stop between these signs, it makes it difficult for cars and buses to pull out from the stop sign safely. Please be considerate of the other families and avoid stopping between those two signs. Have a great day!

Thanks
Mr. Evans

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom we had fun in our classroom! After reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, students in Mrs Pearson and Mrs Eckrich's class completed STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) projects! How many letters can fit on your alphabet tree?

Students tried out the Pipeline Challenge in P.E. class this week.  The challenge requires students to work together to transport various objects from one bucket to another.  With each level completed the following level increases in difficulty.  If the object they are transferring hits the ground, they all had to start again.  There were MANY drops which was to be expected as the game is not easy.  It lead to a great discussion about not giving up when something gets difficult and overcoming new challenges when they arise is school and in life.  

Today we welcomed our Pre-K terriers to RES! 🐾

Music Rhythm Review Activities with Ms. Weer! 5th Manship - Students took turns in their small groups choosing a rhythm to tap on their classmate's shoulder - Just like the game of telephone, the goal was to have the same answer once the rhythm was "passed" around the circle! 2nd Walls - Students took turns clapping a rhythm of their choosing. The other members of their small group had to point to the correct rhythm in this game of rhythm match! K Pearson - Students took turns walking on the circles to the steady beat of the song "Happy." Kindergarten has been practicing listening for, and moving to the steady beat of different songs!

It was a fun first week of back in PE class where students worked in groups to complete Minute to Win It challenges.  Collaboration and teamwork are the keys to success in our PE class.

Mrs. Brian's 3rd graders gave presentations to share a little about themselves as we wrap up the first week of school! They created these projects for their first week of homework. Great work terriers!

Mrs. Parks' 4th Graders made Classroom Family bracelets as they get set for a great year ahead!

Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Eckrich's class had a great 1st day in Kindergarten playing with "Magic Play-Doh!"

It was an amazing First Day of School for our terriers!
