Dear Families,
It’s that time of year again! RES is holding its Annual Used Book Sale! On Thursday, December 6th, children in grades PreK-4 will have the opportunity to come to the Art Room and purchase gently used children’s books for $.25 each! It’s an exciting day at school, and it’s been a yearly treat to see the faces of the children as they gather new stories to read and share with their families!
We are still welcoming donations of gently used books (children’s picture books AND chapter books). Please check in at the front office, and then bring your boxes and bags of books directly down to Maribeth Berliner’s classroom - Room 35. This sale is a great opportunity to clean out your collections before the holidays, and keep your books in the hands of our community’s children!
Money raised from this sale will be used to help support students within our RES learning community, and a portion of the money will be used to purchase some new gift books for the University of Vermont Pediatric Unit.
Thank you for your support with this project!
Best,
Maribeth Berliner, M.Ed.
Gr.4 Teacher, RES
*Any questions about the sale? You can call school and ask for Maribeth Berliner, or email : maribeth.berliner@cesuvt.org

Cougar Cub Inventor's Workshop! #resvt
Richmond Elementary School , in conjunction with
the Society of Women Engineers, ECHO Science Museum, Radiate Art Space, CardBoardTek and MMUSD Educators is proud to present the fourth annual:
COUGAR CUB INVENTOR’S WORKSHOP
Thursday November 15th, 2018
5:30 – 7:30pm*
RES Gym and Library
Cost: 2$ per project (to cover cost of disposable resources, scholarships available)
What is an Inventor’s Workshop?
This workshop is a family-friendly event to MAKE, create, learn, invent, craft, recycle, think, play and be inspired by celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, science and technology. Students will work with their families to create! Activities will be facilitated by engineers and teachers, but tasks will be open ended and creative. Families will have an opportunity to learn together as they experience the fun of making / building / constructing / designing and more! A variety of activities will be available to challenge students from Grades preK – 8.
*RES PTO will be hosting a bake sale so bring some $$ to buy a treat (or 2!)
Activities planned for our workshop include:
PinBox3000! Check out some awesome Cardboard pinball machines and learn about how we will create these games in fourth grade at RES this year.
Lego Race Cars! Join ECHO to design and then race an awesome Lego car that you build!(on a large indoor track)
Marble Maze Challenge: Create a marble maze from ceiling to floor--the possibilities are endless!
Making a keyboard with bananas! MaKey MaKey Boards are electronic devices that convert many regular objects into keys on your computer to control programs like Scratch or videos games. Objects that are conductive, even slightly, like fruit or people, can be used with the MaKey.
Build and Launch a Rocket! Using makerspaces materials we will build rockets that reach for the stars as they travel several stories into the night sky.
Creating interactive circuits with littleBits! littleBits are electronic modules that snap together with magnets to make circuits. Each bit has a specific function (light, sound, sensors, buttons, motors, etc), and modules snap together to make larger circuits.
Checking out a 3D printer in action! CHMS and RES students have been using a 3D printer during technology/enrichment classes. Come and watch a 3D printer in action and explore the Tinkercad software we use to make our designs.
Make it Fly!: Create objects to fly in the wind tunnel
Creating abstract art with a digital microscope! DinoXcope Art is artwork created using a digital microscope to photograph intentional arrangements of materials.
Programming interactive games with Scratch! Scratch is a visual programming language. Use colorful interlocking building blocks of code like legos to build interactive games and programs.
Green Screen! Green screen technology is used to create background scenes for pictures in films and photographs. Come and create your own background.
JitterBots! Back due to popularity, you can create your very own jittery robot!
SNAP Circuits, Art Creation with Radiate Art Space, ECHO Engineering Challenges, Keva Planks, Robots…and more!!!!
Please contact Darcie Rankin, RES Enrichment Teacher at darcie.rankin@cesuvt.org with questions.
We hope to see you there!

Curriculum updates with resources! #resvt
Have you been wondering what your kindergartener has been up to while at school? Here is a list of what we have been working on during academic times. There are clickable links that will bring you to a resource I have either used with the students or a resource for families.
Math:
Word Study:
Writing:
Math:
- Students have been working with 2-D shapes. We have been identifying them around our environment, creating pictures, discussing what we observe, and having exploring! Shapes we have been focusing on are: circle, oval, square, rectangle, diamond(rhombus), triangle, trapezoid, hexagon.
- Please use the following link to see Investigations Math family letter from unit 3. A paper copy will also be coming home in your child's home/school folder. Happy shape hunting!
- Counting backward from 10-1 has been a skill that the class has been working hard on. Here is a video that we have watched to help students remember the number order.
Word Study:
- We completed a review of the lower case letter and letter sounds we have learned up to this point. Students have made amazing progress-it is fascinating to see! Towards the end of the week we introduced the lower case letter formation for letters: p, j. Along with letter formation, students learned the sounds and picture clue that Fundations uses. A letter explaining more will come home on Friday in your child's home/school folder.
- Snap words learned so far: I, the, see, can.
Reading:
- Reader's have been working hard trying to point to each word on the page. We continue to mark our "WOW!" pages and reading with our partners.
Writing:
- We continue to write true stories. Students will start to stretch words out and write all the sounds they hear to write labels or sentences. Keep pointing out to your scholar things they have done or happened to them that would make great writing topics!
Science:
- We have been exploring animals in Vermont and how they change our environment. Scientists took an in depth look at squirrels and beavers. Coming up next students will examine pets and decide what animals need to survive; this will then extend to plants' needs.
- The following are videos we have seen to show examples of how animals change their environment to meet their needs: Beaver Chew Trees, Rabbit Digging, Squirrel Nest, Squirrel Digging, Woodpecker
Movement Breaks:
- We love to use a variety of movement breaks throughout our day. Some popular ones are simple games that encourage being silly or working together, Yoga 4 Classrooms (we love the star pose and power breath), or a dance party! We also use technology for some movement breaks such as GoNoodle or Cosmic Kids Yoga. All of us benefit from getting up and moving throughout our day.
