Grade 5 Civil War Days
Posted by Kathy Swantner on 3/27/2024 5:00:00 PMStudents traveled back in time to 1861-1865, over the past two days. With their group, the fifth graders explored six stations to better understand the Civil War. Students were able to try on clothes, learn about Abraham Lincoln, use 3D glasses to look at photos from the war, understand the role of women during the war, compared and contrasted accouterments and medical practices from that time period. The students ended Civil War days by having a lunch on the "RES battlefield" where students sampled foods that soldiers would have eaten and had a Q & A with a Gettysburg Park Ranger. We greatly appreciated our parent volunteers!

RES 3R Students
Posted by Kathy Swantner on 3/26/2024 5:00:00 PMOn Thursday we held our March Mini Meets to recognize our students who exemplified the 3Rs in February. These students demonstrated many positive characteristics as well as exemplified being respectful, responsible, and were always ready for their classes. As a reminder to parents/guardians, you can recognize the awesome staff at Rohrerstown by either filling in a staff recognition shout out slip, located in the office, and/or emailing your shout-out to Mrs. Wilson or Mrs. Miller. Congratulations to the many students who were recognized at the Mini Meets! Mrs. Wilson also introduced the new Second Step topic of Problem Solving.
We also shared with students that RES would have our own version of March Madness, and each homeroom pulled one of the basketball teams in the Sweet 16. Our bracket is attached.
