Miss Kobelak's 5th grade class has spent the last few weeks travelling through theme! The students all received "passports" and recorded the themes of the stories they read throughout the reading unit. If they were correct and put forth good effort, they received a stamp! We ended the unit with pizza, a photo booth, and a strong understanding of theme!

Miss Witherspoon's first grade class and Miss Kobelak's fifth grade class got together today to make Valentine's Day cards. It was so much fun seeing everyone's creative designs and reading the kind messages they included inside. Happy Valentine's Day!




Ryan Park First Graders made some amazing core memories in the weeks leading up to Winter Break. From caroling, meeting Martha Washington, to cookie decorating and riding the Polar Express, and all of the things sprinkled in between, looking forward to all the exciting activities to come!









Triplet Thursday! Always a fun time when we unintentionally match with students!
