End of the Year! This time of the year is always a fun one for student’s and staff. The memories made over the course of a school year whether in 1st grade or graduating is priceless. Have a safe and fun Summer with family and friends Ravenna students and staff! Look for more updates to the blog in the Teacher Resources area over the break!
Fun Day 2013
Here is a snapshot from Fun Day 2013. We had 10 stations including a dunk tank and two huge inflatables. We ran it inside this year based on the weather forecast and our volunteers. We had a blast. The kids had no idea of the events and they came off the bus in the morning looking like all kids do on Christmas morning. Very Cool. Thank you to the staff and volunteers that made this event possible. Check out Extreme Productions for more fun.
Ahhh….. the end of the year rush is on. Field Trips, Fun Day, trips to the Ice Cream Station. Many of these days are the ones our students will remember as their time being spent at Beechnau Elementary. Next week is the last week of school and we hope everyone finishes strong and has a wonderful time.
I am working on adding a Math Page to this site with many fun, educational Math sites for grades K-4. If you have any suggestions please email me and I will check them out.
Welcome back Beechnau students! This is one of my favorite times of the school year! There are SO many fun activities for you and your friends to do at school and before you know it…. the busses roll out of the parking lot and school is done for another year!

Click Here to go to BrainPopJr. for a video on Spring. We will use this site for Art this week.
We also will use BrainPopJr. for a Health lesson on Teeth. It is so important to take good care of your teeth, especially when those “Grown-Up” teeth start to come in!
Here is the link for the BrainPopjr Movie on taking care of your teeth! We will be creating a comic on how to take care of your teeth. It is one of the most important health things you can do for yourself at any age… even NOW. A beautiful smile, straight teeth or not is a wonderful thing!
