Riverview Reading Remotely
With Mrs. Hallier - May 4, 2020

Spring Birthdays
We have a lot of birthdays in my family in the Spring. So we have been having driveway visits where we each stay in our square. It's fun to be together even though I can't give hugs like I want to. I still get to sing my birthday song!
At Home on the Lake
We had some white caps on the lake this week with the strong winds! I felt like I was at the beach!
Bike Riding
I have been seeing that lots of you are taking your training wheels off your bikes! Congratulations! Welcome to the Two-Wheel Club! Two of my grandchildren took theirs off and are riding like the wind! It was fun to watch them ride around with big smiles on their faces!
Library Choice Boards
The Library Choice Boards for K-2 and 3-5 were created by the elementary library media specialists across our district. The boards have activities for you to do during our 4th Quarter Continuous Learning. Choose one activity to do each week. Click on the buttons below to find the one for your grade level. I'd love to see what you are doing! Post a picture, video, or a document to your SeeSaw or Google classroom or email me at dhallier@usd232.org.

Padawans, try one of these Trials to become a Jedi Knight:
- Jakku Junkyard- Design, make, and decorate a droid out of found materials at your house.
- Jedi Mind Test- Gather 5 or more objects and put them in one place, give yourself time to memorize them, cover them up, and see which ones you remember.
- Feel free to take a picture of your trials and send them to Mrs. Hallier, Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives, at dhallier@usd232.org or post them in the Essentials Teachers folder on your class SeeSaw account.
