What is Action Based Learning (ABL)?
Action Based Learning is simply a way to incorporate movement to help you teach ideas and concepts to students using a variety of activities. Students move through different stations that require them to exercise and learn concepts at the same time. Action Based Learning™ is based on the brain research that strongly supports the link between movement and learning. We know that healthy, active students, make better learners!
How do we incorporate ABL Labs at Richland?
Mr. Kemmerer, our PE teacher, invited teachers to attend a PE session with their classs to observe what an Action Based Learning Lab should look like, how to set up materials, and how to organize students to use the Lab. Now teachers sign up to use the Lab in the multi-purpose room on days when it is not in use for PE class. Mr. Kemmerer provides the movement activities, and teachers provide current content that they would like students to practice.

A big thanks to all who attended our Pajama Jam, as well as all who helped to make the night a success!! What a great night of family fun! High Five to our own Richland Dad, Scott Seidman, for DJing the event.
NEXT PTO Meeting Tuesday Feb 4th at 8:00AM: The PTO meetings are an open forum for you to share ideas and ask questions about what's going on in your children's school. We VOTE/or discuss the allocation of funds that Richland PTO and YOU work hard to raise during the school year. We VOTE/or discuss past and new activities throughout the school year. Please come to hear the details and make your vote count! We meet in the library and kids are welcomed! Remember PTO = Parents Teachers Organization. All are invited and welcome!! At the November meeting the PTO and parents voted to distribute funds back to Richland - over $3,500. Richland will utilize the money by purchasing new stage risers/platforms to use for musical events and ceremonies.
WANT TO HELP?
We are ALWAYS looking for a few good volunteers to assist with PTO events & activities:
SPRING FLING: March will be here before we know it. We are starting to plan for our Spring Family Fun event. If you would like to be on our PLANNING COMMITTEE, please contact richlandTPO@gmail.com.
LOOK out for the SIGN UP, ADOPT A DOOR! We are asking crafty volunteers to help decorate the Richland Staff doors for Teacher Appreciation Week (MAY)!
The Richland PTO Board is searching for volunteers that would be interested in becoming an elected PTO Board Member. We have a few Board Members that will be stepping down once their student heads into the 6th grade center. As a TEAM we work together to provide Richland families with a wide range of activities that support the school. We need your HELP so that we can keep the TEAM moving forward!
