Middle School Weekly Update

News

We had an amazing Spelling Bee Friday morning which was held at RVHS's auditorium. All of our contestants did an amazing job. To even qualify to participate is a huge task, then to get up in front of their peers, staff, and parents takes a lot of courage. I want to say congratulations to all that participated. 
I would also like to thank Mrs. Frericks for running the spelling bee. I would also like to thank her helpers: Mrs. Cheney, Mrs. Crabtree, Mrs. Emans, and Mrs. Hawerlander.

Winner: Garrett Obenour
Runner-up: Irelyn DeSouza
3rd - Owen Thorpe

6th Grade Math

We have been working hard and are now incorporating thinking activities into our weekly activities.  Students are paired and work on a dry erase mat to solve problems, each group shares the marker/eraser and talk out the problems to be solved.  This strategy increases student engagement and also allows student to talk about math in a productive way.
