Day 2 of Eagle U: Water Wednesday! Students had a great time cooling off after a busy morning of building and learning.
It's great to have students back in the building! Eagle U is an enrichment program designed to offer RCS kids opportunities to continue to learn and have fun over the summer break. It's not too late to register your kids if they are in need of additional summer fun (716-736-7224)

We held our final Crew of the school year today. Students learned that nothing is impossible through teamwork. They also came up with a motto for the summer. "Don't just sit there. Get up and do it." We wish all of our students wonderful summer break filled with adventure!

Grade 3 went on a pirate adventure at Scallywags in Erie, PA. Students read Peter Pan prior and this was an extension of that learning. Everyone had a blast on this interactive adventure, and each student brought a little treasure home with them as well!
Students in grades 6 and 1 spent their recess together in the library. Students spun the Genre Wheel and then picked stories that matched their genre. The first graders were wonderful listeners for their sixth grade reading buddies. What a cool idea Mrs. Kondrick!

To finish the year in Physical Education our Second Grade class will be working on their bike riding skills. The class is very close to becoming 100% training wheel free. This will be a great start as they prepare to ride on their third grade adventure to Presque Isle State Park.
