As leaves changed colors and fall began, first graders at RVH learned about autumn and Halloween.
All first grade classes recently completed a Halloween unit where they made monsters and pumpkin ice cream and studied night creatures, including owls and bats.
Instructors Cindy Bradshaw, Leah Gottlob, Karen Kukovich, and Beth Towner also took their students to Hickory Creek Farms to study pumpkins.
The children are now working on a variety of Thanksgiving activities.
In addition to seasonal activities, first graders have been enhancing their math skills by using pennies and dimes to count money amounts and learning to tell time to the nearest hour.
In reading and phonics they learned to decode words with the sounds “ar,” “er,” “ir,” “or,” and “ur.”
Speech pathologist Sherry Boultinghouse gave her speech education students Thanksgiving worksheets where they listed things they were thankful for and added them to their speech books.
Mrs. Boultinghouse said, “All of my students are continuing to work toward achieving their goals and objectives.”
The Early Childhood program has also been teeming with holiday spirit. Instructor Sherry Jagels is using turkeys to reinforce the preschoolers’ math skills, rhyming skills, language skills, and social skills.
Her children are preparing for their Thanksgiving celebration feast on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
Principal Tom Stegman said, “I appreciate the hard work of the staff with our students here at RVH. It’s amazing to see how much effort they are willing to put into the kids.”
He added that his first year as principal has been “great so far.”
On Monday, Nov. 23, third graders will have their Harvest Festival from 12-3 p.m. Volunteers from the community will show them Native American and early settler customs.
The fourth grade music program will be held Monday, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Shireman Performing Arts Center.
