On this last week of February, we’re looking back at the many wonderful memories Dolphins made this month. On Valentine’s Day, 2nd Graders performed the Cupid Shuffle. We are proud to be a school of choice offering visual and performing arts education, including dance! #VAPA

Music is a key aspect of performing arts and a creative outlet for students! Last Friday, LUSD music teachers showed students the instruments they can learn in Band, Choir and Strings. During this performance, Dolphins got the chance to clap along with our all-staff band!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly two weeks since one of our favorite traditions: the Dance Festival and Art Show. Some of this year’s performances included the 3rd Graders’ Rocky Mountain Pioneer Dance and our first ever Bollywood dance number from the 2nd Graders!

[Don Riggio School @DRDolphins]

Our students are excited to show how well they can dance! Tomorrow's Dance Festival & Art Show will include a performance from each grade level starting at 8:45 am, followed by an art show. We encourage you to arrive by 8:30 so you can find a good spot. #VisualAndPerformingArts

Don Riggio students brought their families to the library for an evening full of fun! Last Wednesday, Dolphins of all ages played Bingo for Books so they could take some new stories home. We want to thank our event organizers, including our staff and PTSA, and all who joined us!

Our kindergartners had a special guest to lead them in outdoor learning last Friday! Dr. Hill answered students' questions about different species of butterflies. After his lesson, kindergartners released the butterflies they've been raising this semester!

How can you bring supplies from an elevated surface down to the ground? For a #STEM experiment today, Ms. Dietzel instructed 2nd Graders to create a device that can transport materials downward. These four created a line with yarn to send a paper cup down to the floor! #ArtsBlock

Our 5th Graders told Dolphins all about states throughout our nation, from the West Coast to the East Coast. They researched the history, tourist attractions, food and wildlife found in their state of choice. We thank them for sharing their knowledge! #StateReports

The end-of-the-year countdown continues! Our kindergartners spent their morning playing some exciting #math and #phonics games. Mrs. Gehrke's and Ms. Lea's classes used cards to determine numerical values and ran through a circuit of objects that corresponded with words.

[Don Riggio School @DRDolphins]

The end-of-the-year countdown is on! Every day for the rest of the semester, our kindergartners are taking part in special activities to make each day of the week stand out. Today, Mrs. Gehrke's students blew bubbles to create some colorful works of art! #BubbleArt #VisualArts

Don Riggio students love to learn about our environment! During our Earth Day celebration last Friday, Dolphins got to practice being a beekeeper for a day. Here's to many more exciting memories this spring!
