Flashlight 360
Flashlight 360 is a tool that allows students to showcase their speaking and writing skills in a fun and engaging way, which gives us teachers a better understanding of the needs of their language acquisition. We will begin using this program in our EL small groups as well as with everyone in the whole group setting to review concepts and help build background knowledge. Students can access this tool from home through the Clever page. Please get on and check it out with your child.
Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB)
April is Celebrate Diversity Month! We are blessed here at RCE to have a diverse population rich in culture and traditions. We currently have students from Central Africa, Columbia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico!
We will be celebrating many of these cultures and traditions at our Children's Day Celebration on Thursday, April 27th!
