1st graders at Ryan Park enjoyed Candy Cane Day! Students completed an experiment and formed their hypotheses on whether warm or cold water would dissolve a candy cane faster. Students studied 2 different legends of the candy cane and then wrote an opinion piece on which legend they felt was true and why. Students took data on which candy cane was more popular in the candy cane exchange based on color.
Yesterday our Ryan Park 5th grade students competed in our annual Spelling Bee. Everyone did an amazing job spelling!! Congratulations to our runner up Sofie Garza and our champion Sophie Hasselman. Outstanding job ladies!!
Ryan Park Elementary showcased their holiday spirit last Friday. The 1st and 2nd graders took the lead, presenting a festive performance directed by Allison Arnos. The show featured everything from rapping reindeer to the lively Lords a Leaping. The event also included a special visit from Mayor Martin, who announced the winner of the Ryan Park Christmas Card competition. It was a heartwarming and memorable way to wrap up the week!
First grade students at Ryan Park enjoyed decorating Christmas cookies today as they countdown to Winter Break! We read the story The Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher and talked about how we can sprinkle kindness to those around us all year long.
Students in the education pathway at AHS are excited to partner with K-2 students and teachers this week! They've been helping assess reading skills at our elementary schools. It's wonderful to see our youngest readers progressing and our oldest students getting work experience!
