The 4th grade Market Day was another huge success! They came up with some amazing creations again this year and had fun selling their products today!

During the Plant study, the Pre-K students learned about the parts of a plant we can eat. They enjoyed a "Parts of the Plant" snack. Parts of the Plant Snack: Seeds - Sunflower Seeds Flower/Fruit - Oranges or Strawberries Leaves - Spinach Stem - Celery Roots - Carrots

B is for balloons 🎈 WOW! We learned it takes practice and lots of air to blow balloons up in 1st grade.

1st grade is celebrating the last couple weeks of school with an A-Z countdown! We started with A-Bring a stuffed Animal to school and today was B-Balloon Day!

We are celebrating the completion of state testing! Our hard working, smart and focused students made us proud! End of the week celebration included prizes, ice cream and outside play! Great work Mustangs!

Today started the ABC countdown in 1st grade. We have 27!days of school left (we started a day early because of our field trip). A is for stuffed animal day!!

We're thrilled to announce that our Read-A-Thon is underway! We're counting on you to make it a success. If you haven't already, please take a moment to activate your child’s personal reader page by clicking on the following link: https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/RdZUvT?utm=email It only takes a minute or two, and your support will greatly assist us in meeting our financial goals. We're working hard to motivate your child to read and understand the benefits of reading. As part of this fundraiser, all reading minutes logged will earn students votes for a crazy and embarrassing costume that Mr. Hutley will need to wear, as well as additional rewards for the top class and top reader! See the attached flier for more details. Thank you for your help in reaching our goal. Ridgeview Elementary

The Pre-K students learned how plants drink water. They were able to observe this process with a color changing flower experiment. The flowers absorbed the water through the stem and then into the flower petals.

It's time for the Ridgeview Elementary Read-A-Thon! Our school Read-A-Thon begins on Monday April 14, 2025 and is sure to be a fun and exciting event. We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time. Watch a short video to see how to signup your reader: https://youtu.be/12tmuXH8zCg This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family.

Ridgeview Elementary has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year! Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more. Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday April 14, 2025.

We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/RdZUvT/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.
