RES Weekly Buzz
We had another terrific week at RES. With the spring feeling in the air and a full moon, the kids have been full of smiles, energy, and laughs. We have enjoyed our time with them on the playground, though we can't quite keep up when they are running.
During our classroom visits, we have seen many beautiful pieces of work completed by our students. showing their growth this year and the knowledge they have gained. Today, we read and listened to personal narratives written by our 3rd graders that included such wonderful descriptive language, it was easy for us to picture the stories in our minds!
Have you been to the Art Show yet? WOW! We were so impressed by the student artwork. We know each of our students puts a lot of time and effort into their pieces and are excited to share them with the community. If you haven't been to see it yet, you have until March 12th. Don't miss out!
Happy Friday
