Students in Mrs. Baierwalter's focus group have been doing a study on different classifications of animals. Students then created new animals from 3 parts of other animals and shared them with the group. Then students debated if their new animals creations would be amphibians, mammals, fish, insects, arachnids, or reptiles. They then discussed the type of environment each new animal would need to thrive.

Mrs. Robertson's class at Ryan Park spent time Tuesday searching for the elusive Looflipra bird. Each student had a carrot in hand as they walked around the playground, hoping to make the bird appear. After a while and a few more clues, the students realized that Looflipra is actually April Fool spelled backward. This fun adventure got the students outside while encouraging them to use their critical thinking skills.
Our paraprofessionals are true difference-makers, and our classrooms simply wouldn’t function without their dedication and support. Thank you for all that you do!
Last evening, each of our elementary schools hosted a Title I Night called the Amazing Reading Race! Students read clues with their families and raced around the building to find teachers that shared about the five pillars of literacy. Families also got materials to practice and take home to continue practicing reading skills at home. The partnership between teachers, students, and families are game changing for student success!
Congratulations to Mallory Hartman, Ryan Park's Teacher of the Year! Her dedication, enthusiasm, and passion for learning are truly appreciated and make her an invaluable asset to our school!
Surprise! Staff brought laughter to the PLC meeting this morning when they showed up dressed like Mr. Baut.

Miss Kobelak’s 5th grade students recently created their own Pokémon cards! They used their imagination and descriptive writing skills to design their pokémon using AI technology. They made up their pokémons’ names from Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, suffixes, and other word parts. Once they had a name and an image, students wrote a description of their pokémon that included its abilities and personality traits. Students did a wonderful job demonstrating their creativity and originality!
Ryan Park students in Mrs. Clary's class are no strangers to the great outdoors. Throughout the year, Mrs. Clary finds creative ways for students to learn while exploring the campus grounds. When snow blanketed the landscape, her students tracked animal tracks. Recently, the students used their walking sticks—earned through the RP PTO Read-a-thon—to good use as they continued their outdoor discoveries.
