Welcome!

Parents and Students,

Thank you for a great start to the new school year. The first three weeks have been great for getting to know all of the students and I have also had the opportunity to get to meet several parents as well. In building classroom community, the students of Ms. Rivers class have been working on designing a classroom seal. We started by studying the United States of America symbols, landmarks, monuments and the U.S. seal. The students created the classroom motto, "The River Unceasing Roars". Plans for the design include a phoenix flying out of a volcano with lava flowing down the side of the volcano and forming the infinity symbol. The phoenix will have the flags of countries represented in our classroom in its beak and wear a cape on its right wing. I have a wonderful group of students who have become a new classroom community.
