Kindergarten 'Power Up' in the Library
Mrs. Lewicki's Kindergarten class has library 'Power Up' time every day of the week to enhance ELA and technology skills. These K kids are learning the different parts of a computer, how to effectively use the mouse (right click vs. left click) and using hand-eye coordination to maneuver educational websites such as abcya.com. We aren't always on the computer though, below you will see pictures of students using puppets to practice the letter sound 'M'.
Fall Bookfair
Our recent bookfair, themed 'Reading Oasis' was a big hit thanks to all our wonderful parent volunteers. The scholastic bookfair promotes reading and Riverside kids love to browse the store.
