Riddle Elementary teachers Lyndsey Weber (multi-age 1/2) and Tim Wheeler (3rd grade) attended the Illinois Reading Council conference in Springfield. They attended sessions with authors and educators with a focus on literacy.
Tim also presented a session on classroom libraries with co-presenter Jennifer Connolly.
Pictured here, Miss Weber displays a book John Schu gave her during his Wednesday night presentation. Mr. Wheeler meets author Brian Selznick who is autographing a copy of Baby Monkey, Private Eye for the classroom library.

Mrs. Hawbaker's 3/4 Multi-Age class worked very hard to set and accomplish daily and weekly goals.
As a celebration, the class was donated enough cans for every student to silly string their teacher and student teacher.
Let's just say...the students were more than happy to participate and reach their goals for this reward!

This past Friday, Riddle students enjoyed getting to silly string their teachers! The students have worked hard all year to complete WIGs (Wildly Important Goals). So far, they have completed over 3,000 WIGs! Teachers and other staff members including supervisors, the nurse, the school social worker, and a lunch lady ended up covered in silly string. What a blast for both the kids & staff!

Mr. Wheeler's third grade class at Riddle Elementary enjoyed their time with Harley from Sarah Bush Lincoln for Healthy kids. The kids loved the SBL Kickstart Mobile coming to the school and it allowed them to learn and practice ways to be more active! Thanks to Harley and the rest of SBL for their involvement.

Isolde, Fletcher and Delaney from Mrs. Kimery's Multi-age class and Cooper from Mrs. Oakley's class recently read a non-fiction text about Fennec and Arctic Foxes and created a Google Slides presentation.
