Unpacking multiple boxes of new curriculum can be intimidating, but having a special message from a former @RiversideOtters makes it much more enjoyable. 😁 Once an Otter, always an Otter!

Some words about the proposed closure of Riverside Elementary part 1

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

Today we learned what works when it comes to group work while searching for numbers. They nailed it! Staying focused, communicating, working together, planning, and thinking ahead. We also learned what doesn’t work, including large groups. This sets expectations for the year!

We visited the new @RochPubLibrary Book Box at station #4 to pick up our Summer Playlist! It’s a great addition to the NW end of town.

What does it look like to be a part of the @RiversideOtters family? This right here. When one 5th grader was feeling sad about it being the last day, another stuck by his side through lunch and recess. I’m going to miss this incredible group of kids!

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

Lots of laughter and fun from $4 of shaving cream! @RiversideOtters

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

One of the best days of the entire year! @RiversideOtters

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

A little extra creativity added to the nets today. This S can whip up a free-handed car in no time! @RiversideOtters

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

The kids loved it! One even busted a move to the beat.

@JaeHavoc made his yearly visit to our classroom! This year we packed the room with all three sections so they could all hear his message. He connected their learning of figurative language and poetry to his work of writing and rapping. @RiversideOtters

When you need to be precise in your work, technology to the rescue!

@ShawnCa91438280 @RiversideOtters You bet!

Today was spent making memories before we parted ways for winter break. We played games, collected some data and had a snack with our reading buddies, watched a movie, and enjoyed some warm hot cocoa, all while we were cozy in our pajamas. @RiversideOtters

I wish you could hear the giggles in these photos! We made many attempts and still didn’t capture everyone!

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

When you live in MN, taking some time to go sledding as a class is a must! So many giggles today, especially when trying to capture everyone in a photo on a slippery hill. @RiversideOtters

After working super hard to build reading stamina and skills, it’s time to begin Flashlight Fridays! @RiversideOtters

[Chelsie Dietrich @DietrichGrade5]

So much division and 100% engagement! I love giving them opportunities to practice how they want at a pace that works for them. So much success and students helping students. @RiversideOtters
