The holiday season means lots of food preparation! Second graders took their knowledge of food groups into Mrs. Blaisdell’s physical education class! Students used their scooter shopping carts to collect a food from each group and return it to their team. Connecting their nutritional choices to physical education led to a heart-pumping experience for all! #WeAreRSU18 #CPSdragons
First and second grade students at Atwood Primary School are composing their own melodies using two rhythm blocks! The blocks are made with words translated into rhythms. These musicians first learned the sequence as a group. Next, they improvised on a pentatonic scale before playing in a group rhythm block. Then, students composed their own and played as a group. In the final step, students played their compositions individually! Mrs. Peterson shared that it’s been such a fun process to watch her young musicians compose their own melodies to rhythms they have chosen! Bravo! #WeAreRSU18 #AtwoodAwesome
Birthdays are a big deal and the students in Mrs. Robert’s kindergarten class at Atwood Primary School recently celebrated everyone being 5 years old! Boys and girls wore birthday crowns, ate delicious cake, and received Play-Doh as a birthday gift! #WeAreRSU18
On Wednesday, October 16th, Atwood Primary students and staff wore their “We Are Atwood Awesome” shirts to unify the school community as ambassadors of change! From that day until Halloween, Atwood and Williams students continue to collect coins in individual change purses to fill a classroom jar. On Halloween morning, the two school communities will place all of their collected change in the World of Change truck! All funds will be used to grant a wish for a child through the Make-A-Wish foundation! When Matthew Hoidel, founder of World of Change, visited during a school wide assembly, he shared with the students that they are exercising their kindness muscles to make a difference in our community! #WeAreRSU18 #AtwoodAwesome
Atwood Primary School’s first graders in Mrs. LaRose’s class recently conducted apple experiments. The students predicted which color apple would win in a taste test. They then tallied, graphed, and analyzed their results! #WeAreRSU18 #AtwoodAwesome
Atwood Primary students in Mrs. Hayes’ morning and afternoon preschool classes recently explored and learned all about apples! They peeled apples, made apple pies at the sensory table, and worked through other fun apple themed activities. Preschool classes also enjoyed a beautiful fall day by going on a nature scavenger hunt to the outdoor classroom! #WeAreRSU18 #AtwoodAwesome
