Randall Weekly Update - Week 26

🥸🧑🏻‍🦳📝5th Grade Wax Museum

Our reading unit was focused on exploration and curiosity in our world. 5th-grade students were given the assignment to research a famous figure from our world's history, past, and present. Students researched their figures early childhood, middle years, and discovered every achievement their figure had earned. Students then came together on March 2nd to display their creative costumes and slideshows with all of their amazing knowledge from the unit. We welcomed parents and guardians into the building for a very engaging event! (see pics below)

This week our students listend to a Mystery Reader each day and got to guess which staff member read a book and today we capped off the event with a schoolwide Read-a-thon.

Hi Randall families!

Last week in our Character Strong curriculum, we finished up the topic HONESTY. In Guidance, each of my students wrote an honest affirmation on a flower and we colored and hung them on the tree in my classroom. Students said things like "I am smart, I am brave, I am a good friend" etc. I wanted to do this activity because I wanted to point out how great we can feel when we think about the positive and honest things about ourselves. It was so cool to see the different phrases that each student came up with about themselves.

This week, we started the topic COOPERATION. We had a circle discussion where we talked about how cooperation is when we work together. And how things are often more difficult to get done if it's just one person doing all the work. We have some fun activities planned over the next few weeks that will involve some cooperation (think 'Keepy Uppy for all you Bluey fans), so I'm looking forward to that!

As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns!

Mrs. Roth

Randall School is pleased to announce the launch of the SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT confidential tipline as part of our school safety efforts. Tiplines are used to identify threats to schools, and for concerns impacting school age youth such as bullying, drug use, suicidal thoughts and more. Schools that promote and use tiplines have less violence overall. The SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT (SUSO) tipline is run by the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Office of School Safety. Parents and students, this tool is available for anyone to use to help keep the Randall Community safe!

Randall students will engage in learning about how to advocate for their own (and others') safety and well-being over the next month in partnership with our counselor, Mrs. Roth, as well as other members of our student services team. We encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of communicating when/if they feel that their safety may be compromised.

Here is a LINK to an informational flyer about Speak Up Speak Out.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
