Learning, Creativity, and Pride in the Classroom

Students in Ms. Thomas's and Ms. Carroll's class had a wonderful day of learning and creativity! During reading instruction, students enjoyed the ULS book, A Hat for Geri by Travis Schaeffer.

Who says learning can't be fun? Coach Frost makes learning fun at Richbourg!

Coach Ashley Frost shared an engaging resiliency lesson with our students about the power of the word "yet."

Students listened to The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi, a story that encourages children to keep trying, believe in themselves, and remember that just because they cannot do something right now does not mean they cannot do it yet.

After reading the story, students eagerly created their own "Magical Yet" projects inspired by the book. They used their creativity and imagination while learning valuable lessons about perseverance, maintaining a positive attitude, and not giving up when faced with challenges.

Our students were excited, engaged, and proud of their creations. Experiences like this help students understand that mistakes and challenges are a natural part of learning and growing.
