S.M. Rissler Elementary School

Wow - our Book Blast is off to a great start! Congratulations to Kevin Leota (Mrs. Lynn's Class) for winning our first drawing prize: the Book Blast Treasure Chest! Our quest to level up our readers has never been so much fun! We’re blasting through our mission to earn as many books as possible for our students. Register now and invite 10+ contacts to be entered into the drawings for our Treasure Chests!

Mrs. Gott's preschool class earned a Paw Party and invited Zoe to come see them! So exciting! They learned how to approach a dog, how to wave their paw and Zoe in the hallway and how to let the dog smell them to make friends! #ZoeTheTherapyDog

Zoe thinks it cold outside so we spent Zoe Time playing in Mrs. Grissoms office!

Book Blast begins today! All you have to do is invite 10+ friends and family members to earn some awesome prizes and a chance to win one of our Treasure Chests or an Epic Treasure Chest! It takes just 7 minutes TONIGHT. #BookBlast #UnlockTheTreasure.

​The first 48 to register and invite 10+ friends and family members will receive their treasure map prizes the very next day! Any student who qualifies after that will still receive their prizes with the book delivery. #bookblastadventures #booksarefun

We had a Blue Light Special in the Preschool today. The kids had a great time and I think the officers did too! #BlueLightSpecial #RisslerStrong. https://youtu.be/74TsYbfru1s

We continue to have Rissler students and staff shine as they show up to school, just as they did last Friday. Thank you for being there and making the day a better day because of your presence. Keep it up! #RisslerStrong

Mrs. Wyant’s students worked on life skills- cooking in the Special Blend kitchen today. Each student made his/her own lunch, learned how to set a table, and worked on increasing manners. On Fun Fridays, students build skills in areas of independence, following directions, fine and gross motor, literacy, math, and safety. Students also increase their social skills and confidence for real-world application.

Students in Mrs. Kirk's room participated in the Blue Light Special with Officer Andal.

Students in Mrs. Saul and Mrs. Wyant's room have been making great academic progress today.

Students at Rissler get to cash in their behavior paws to earn Zoe Time! It's so fun! They also receive Zoe trading cards and stickers! Plus Zoe the Therapy Dog was so excited to welcome back all her adult and student friends!

It was so great to have students and staff show up on Friday. We give prizes for showing up and showing out. We had NO subs in the building. Congratulations to our winners. #JBYH #RisslerStrong

Do you know a great way to learn math fractions in 3rd grade? Use cookies!! Mrs. Natalie Johnson's class did just that. We cannot help but have fun and learn at the same time at Rissler!! #CookieMath. #RisslerStrong
