Ahoy! We had some pirates wash ashore last Friday at Rickard when our Kindergarten classes had a pirate dress up day! Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Carriers' classes participated in many pirate themed activities on Friday, including going on a treasure hunt and looking for treasure in a treasure chest! What's a pirate's favorite letter, you ask? Well, of course it's "RRRR" :)
We had an exciting morning at Rickard today, as some of our friends at the fire department visited us! Although the fire alarm was a false alarm, our Rickard school family did an amazing job exiting the building and making sure everybody was safe!
Williston Boys & Girls in grades K-5 are invited to join Cub Scouts!

It was a busy day in Ms. Osbourne's music class today as Mrs. Conlin's second grade class was learning about meter and how to conduct a piece of music in a meter of 2/4. This meter is most commonly used for matches.
We have been implementing conscious discipline at Rickard these past two years, and a key element of this is classroom jobs. Many teachers use different systems for jobs in their classrooms, including line leader, cleanup crew, etc . One of the jobs in the fourth grade classrooms is the "Lunch Room Helper". Here are some of our fourth grade students helping us with lunch and being awesome leaders!
We have been learning about 3D printing in library this week! Third and fourth graders are learning to design their own 3D prints on a program called Tinkercad, while Kindergarten, first and second graders were able to watch 3D prints being made. Here are some of the designs we were able to create in some of our classes!
Students in Mrs. Norby's class recently learned about the importance of reading and responsibility by creating their own book bins at their tables. Students found and exchanged books from their classroom library and learned how to safely store them in their individual bins to read later!
