GYM SHORTS
We have a brand new face in the gym at ROE. Coach Garcia-King has filled the gap left by Coach McCool's retirement. We want to wish Coach McCool all the luck in her new endeavors and are so glad to welcome Coach Garcia-King to the ROE family. She has already started out with lots of fun activities to get our bodies in shape this new year. A New Year, a New YOU! Kids are practicing drills and playing fun and engaging games to get into shape. We started the year strong and we will finish even stronger!
TUNE INTO MUSIC NOTES AND SKETCHES
Is it a plane? Is it a train? No! It's Mighty Minds to the rescue. On February 28th at 7p.m. in the ROE cafeteria the 4th and 5th graders will be performing the musical "Mighty Minds". It is an incredible play filled with fun, music and a great message about believing in yourself. You won't want to miss it.
COMPUTER BYTES
This month our students will be working on their keyboarding skills. Our fourth grade students helped our kindergraten keyboarders learn where the letters were located on the keyboard. It was a fun day of collaboration. Our K-2 students are locating their letters and learning to care for the keyboard while our 3-5th grade students are learning to use the proper fingerings and fluency in keyboarding. Here are some websites that students can use at home to practice the skills they are learning in the Learning Lab.

READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE LEARNING COMMONS
As we begin a new year its a great time to clean out those closets, bedrooms, backpacks and cars. We love to have our students check out books from the Learning Commons and we also like it when they check out new books. Please look at home for any books that might belong to the ROE Learning Commons. We would love it if your student would return a book and then trade it in for another one. There are hundreds of great reads in our Learning Commons.
Students have also been exploring our MakerSpace and STEAM labs this semester. They are doing hands on experiments and using their imaginations to create new and wonderous things.
