Besides writing, a day in a Language Arts classroom at Radcliffe Creek can feature anything from giving presentations to peers, taking notes, drawing to demonstrate comprehension, or playing games to practice grammar concepts!

SILVERWARE, LUNCH REMINDER, AND SNACK DONATIONS
As a reminder, we are no longer providing plastic utensils for lunches. If your child has something in their packed lunch that requires a utensil, please pack one for them. You are also welcome to send in a spare set of utensils to keep here at school.
Also, we are unable to keep student ordered lunches overnight at school. If your child is absent and you would like to pick up their lunch that day, please contact
Kim Nistler.
Lastly, a snack stash is kept at the Front Desk for when students forget snacks and/or lunches. If you would like to donate any non-perishable food to the snack stash, please mark it as such and send it in to school with your student.

HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF FLU!
As you know, flu season has arrived. We have had several confirmed cases at Radcliffe and we ask parents to please refer to the
CDC recommendations on what to do if you suspect your child has the flu and how long to keep them home. A child should not return to school until they have been fever free (without fever-reducing medicine) for 24 hours.

AROUND THE CREEK
Radcliffe Creek has joined thousands of schools, both nationally and globally, as a registered National Wildlife Federation Eco-School. This program empowers students to engage in their environment by protecting it through place and problem-based learning. Through authentic STEM activities and active, meaningful leadership, RCS students can strive to attain a Bronze, Silver, or Green Flag Award.
Luke, Wyatt, and Ben got in touch with nature, choosing sticks on Radcliffe's woodland trail to make wands with. The wands will be used to help them divide syllables in Ms. Singer's Reading class.
Ben begins his PowerPoint presentation on history and culture during the setting of the novel,
To Kill a Mockingbird in Literature class.
Leadership Enrichment led classes and helped the Science Club with two experiments - a hovercraft and an eggshell geode!
Ben and Nathan work on the pottery wheel in the Art Studio.
Brady and Peter used giant orbies to learn new sight words in shaving cream!
Students in Mrs Johnson's Discovery classes have been having fun with science!
They have been exploring the properties of matter, including the structure of atoms and the behavior of electrons. Above, Quinten learns how to accurately measure the mass of an object on a triple-beam balance.
 Charlie practices dividing syllables the Radcliffe way! He underlined the vowels, chose where to divide and cut the hearts in half.
Students in the Build It Enrichment class built boats today and held a competition to see whose design could hold the most gems. Congratulations to Ollie whose boat design held 60 gems!
Little Creek students traveled to the Sultana Education Center for a hands-on experience today! Click
