Poem in Your Pocket Day at Riverside
We celebrated out first Poem in Your Pocket Day at Riverside and what a celebration it was! Students were reading poems on the playground, in the office, in classrooms, in the library, in hallways….poetry fever was contagious!
The idea was simple: select a poem you love during National Poetry Month (or write your own) – then carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends.
Poems from pockets were unfolded throughout the day and shared. This is a fun, national activity that has been done annually since 2002.
Here at Riverside we even had all of the 4th grade classes sharing poems with students in Ohio through Skype!

Author Visits Hatley and Rothschild
Chris Rumble came and made a huge impression on students at Hatley and Rothschild Elementary on April 3, 2012! Chris is from Georgia and is the author of the series, Uncle Stinky, and Too Much of a Good Thing. His visit concluded with a Parent's Night at Rothschild with many students bringing back their parents to share in all the fun they had while still focusing on reading! Thanks Chris for an "YEE-HAW! Awesome time!"
Digital Learning Day at Riverside
Digital Learning Day was a big success at Riverside – thank you to Mrs. Rosewicz for all of her hard work and willingness to collaborate with me and thanks to all of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers and students for coming in to share ideas and learn something new together.
Our library is a busy place and it is amazing to think of all of the activity that occurred here in just one day! Click here to see an Animoto celebrating all of the events of February 1st.
