Riverview Charter School
WEEKLY NOTES & REMINDERS
Issue: # 4
August 31- Sept. 4, 2015
3rd grade dalton
Mrs. Dalton's 3rd Grade Class worked on building their classroom community by sharing items from their "what about me" bag. 
Students talked about how we are all different in our own special ways, but have many similar interests. We all wear shoes, but they are all different sizes and colors. We are all unique, but in Mrs. Dalton's room we are "one" classroom community and in our school we are "one" Riverview family!
