Springfield Local School District

Roosevelt Students "Celebrated Reading"  the week of March 25.  Every morning there was a mystery reader and the students had to use their best detective work to figure out which staff member was reading. The students also participated in "Drop Everything and Read," which meant at a certain time of the day, Mrs. Brown would announce for the whole school to stop whatever they were doing and read for a bit.  Dressing up as a favorite book character was was done by all, including the staff.  All classroom doors were decorated according to the teacher's favorite book. On the last day of the week, the entire school participated in a balloon launch. Each classroom sent about 10 balloons up to the sky. Each balloon carried a tag which asked the finder to complete a few questions about his/her favorite book and mail it back to us. The students received replies from as far away as Core and Clarksburg, West Virginia.

The third graders at Roosevelt Elementary School went on a field trip to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  They took a train ride on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.  They enjoyed a program called All Aboard for Animals.  The students listened to several animal stories, sang some fun songs, touched a deer and coyote pelt, compared different animal skulls, touched a large turtle shell and saw a large eagle's nest.  They also learned about the habitats in the park and the animals who live there.  Finally, the students enjoyed eating their lunch on the train!  This was the first train ride for many of them.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the trip while learning about their environment.

The third graders at Roosevelt Elementary were able to take part of the All Aboard for Animals program on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad on May 8th.  Students were able to explore the natural beauty and cultural history of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park through the window of the train.  Park Rangers and volunteers shared pelts, skulls and stories of the animals who call the Cuyahoga Valley National Park home.

Mrs. McFarland's 1st grade class celebrated poetry month in April by reading and writing different types of poetry.

Students in Mrs. Slone’s class read The Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin and were so interested in how worms live that they decided to make their own worm farm in their classroom.  Students placed large earthworms into the dirt & sand container in hopes of finding some awesome worm tunnels created by their new class pets.

It is so hard to believe the year is coming to a close! The students have worked very hard this school learning many new things. In Math they have learned to had a subtract numbers up to 40, count and write numbers to 120 and even solve story problems. In Reading and Language Arts, they have worked on their Daily 5 stamina, learned to become authors and illustrators of their own books as well as learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. I am very proud of the hard work and improvement of my students this year! They have all worked hard to show growth in all behavioral and academic areas.
