Here come FRACTIONS! 412 is just around the corner from starting a new unit which has an instructional focus on fractions. Learners took a pre-assessment to see what background knowledge they have. Prior to getting started, each learner wrote another learner an encouraging/motivating affirmation. Zoom in on the sticky notes to see what they had to say to lift each other up.❣️

💙💛 Roadrunners are learning about Patient Patty and Persistent Percy! 💛💙

Over the past week, our students have been talking about what it means to be patient and persistent.

🦋 Patient Patty reminds us that good things take time and that staying calm helps us do our best work.
💪 Persistent Percy teaches us to keep going, even when things feel challenging.

Together, they help our Roadrunners remember that learning and growing take both patience and perseverance! 🌟

Ask your child how they’ve shown patience or persistence this week — we love hearing how these lessons carry over at home! 💙

Meet Collaborative Connor! Another adorable Roadrunner who reminds us that collaboration and teamwork are essential to moving learning forward.
Just like we practiced being curious learners with Curious Carly, we will continue learn about what being collaborative means on a deeper level, and also have many opportunities to engage in collaboration with our classmates.

312 has been playing a Small Array / Big Array Game in math. For the last two days, we have been playing this game to match up smaller arrays to make bigger arrays. It's a great way to practice our collaborative skills and multiplication skills. Students have to keep one factor the same while finding smaller factors to equal the other factor. Keep up the good work!

Meet Curious Carly! 🧐 The most adorable Roadrunner who reminds us about the importance of always staying CURIOUS as learners.
As we continue our quest to be engaged learners at RF/CC, we will continue learn about what being curious means on a deeper level, and also have many opportunities to practice being curious in all content areas.❓

October Dress Up Days
The weather is starting to turn chilly, and we want to make sure all of our Roadrunners are dressed warmly for outdoor recess. Please remember to send your child with appropriate clothing each day (jackets, hats, gloves, etc.).
If your child is in need of winter gear such as a coat, boots, or other cold-weather essentials, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our PTO generously organizes the Roadrunner Closet with items for students who need them. We’re happy to help make sure every student stays warm and comfortable this winter. Thank you for your support!
