March 23, 2016

Today was jam packed with awesome activities here at RBES! 

We began our day by reading to the Kindergartens.  Mrs. Garlough's class throughly enjoyed hearing the amazing CWACOMB stories that 2B students wrote. In the afternoon, we joined 2C for our CWACOMB movie wrap up party.  A special thank you to Mrs. Ganton, Mrs. Jayanadhanpadmini & Mrs. Bengtson who came in and popped popcorn this morning!!  

This was our final MindUp lesson with Mrs. Kehoe.  She lead us through two different mindful activities.  The first was mindful smelling and the second was mindful tasting.  Ask your child to tell you all about them!  We also learned that when we experience something that makes us happy, our brains release a chemical called dopamine. This is important for learning because it helps us concentrate, pay attention and encourages us to keep trying.  

Our day ended with a Spell-A-Thon celebration.  Congratulations to the RBES students on their amazing fundraising, all together, over $9500 was raised!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at the Family Dance!  Tickets will be for sale at the door for $5.00/family.  2B students enjoyed getting a "taste" of the Cake Walk today during lunch!  There are many more amazing cakes to be won this evening!
