Ms. Wynn's class has been enjoying their specials classes! In music, they've been working on steady beat, as well as several songs and poems. In guidance, they worked on positive affirmations. Ask your student what they've done in specials this past week! #OnePender
It's that time - our Rocky Point Elementary Orchestra Program will be starting up next week!

Ms. Milliner's 2nd grade class worked hard today on measuring items around the classroom using 1 centimeter rulers that they created!
Did you know...?
The centimeter has an interesting history! 🏛
️ It was created in France in the late 1700s. Scientists wanted a uniform way to measure things, so they made the metric system. The meter was defined first, and the centimeter followed as a smaller unit. A meter is about 39.37 inches long, while there are 100 centimeters in one meter. So, 1 cm equals 0.01 meters! The metric system spread around the globe, and today, many countries use centimeters for measurement, whether in schools or for everyday life! 🌍 (from https://www.astrosafe.co/article/centimeter)

Today, all students are reviewing our RAMS matrix and learning about bus safety! Students even practiced how to evacuate the bus in the event of an emergency.
School is just starting, but we want to take a moment to look back on the 2nd & 3rd grade Spring Concert from last school year! The 2nd grade presented a program called "Honk! Beep! Choo-Choo!" and the 3rd grade presented a program titled "Music Mission to Mars." Both groups did an amazing job - you've got to go check them out!
(The 2nd graders even sing in French!)

🚍 We know the first day of the three-tier schedule brought some challenges, while we continue to work to make improvements there is a free tool that can be helpful for families - the Here Comes the Bus app.
With this free app, parents can:
✅ See their child’s bus location on a map
✅ Get alerts when the bus is near your stop or school
✅ Gain peace of mind with notifications when the bus arrives in your area
The good news is that traffic flow improved by 30 minutes in some areas after adjustments from day one. While we continue to make changes, the Here Comes the Bus app can provide extra confidence and convenience for families.
