Rivermen Clubhouse welcomed spring this week. They made cute baby chicks.
"COOPERATION" has been our Character Trait for the month of March. Even though the concept is simple, it is often a challenge for our littles to put into action! B4 kids were challenged to cooperatively keep a balloon afloat in partners, groups and as a class. First graders learned that 'listening" and "focus" are very important when cooperating. They led fellow classmates through the cooperation maze.
On Tuesday, March 21 the Alma and Pepin sixth grade band attend the MEGA BAND at Blair-Taylor school. Over 250 sixth grade students from several schools rehearsed and performed together. It was a (loud) and amazing experience for everyone! The students were so well-behaved and represented Alma and Pepin with pride. Here are a few pictures of our adventure.
Rivermen Clubhouse fun!
The kids enjoyed a week of welcoming spring! They made moon sand, chalk bunnies, played games & dress up, they also painted egg cartons and turn them into a beautiful flower. Happy Spring everybody.
For St. Patrick's Day, Kindergarten and 6th grade students worked together to plan, build and decorate leprechaun traps. This STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) challenge brought lots of joyful memories to students especially when the leprechaun came to trick their traps. Be sure to ask a kindergartener about what the leprechaun did to their classroom!!
Kindergarten students enjoyed a rainbow science experiment. Students used their knowledge of solid, liquid and gas to observe what happened.

Another Alma jazz/polka band trip to Goodman is in the books! This was our 7th trip to the great white up north and it did not disappoint! As usual it snowed, but that did not keep us from having a great time and excellent performance in the Old Theatre Ballroom at the Goodman Clubhouse. A lot of people need to be recognized and thanked. Without their help, this would not have happened. Thank you to our wonderful chaperones and roadies: Rob and Heidi Stewart, Todd and Abby Myren, Josh and Sharaya Reed (and Jackson Reed), Jody Ruff and Kaydence Ruff. Josh drove the bus through some tricky roads at times, but he never "wavered" a bit and Heidi took beautiful photos and live streamed the performance with over 160 views that night! Please check out Heidi's beautiful photos on Facebook. In Goodman, my mother, Joan Flannery, did all the arrangements with the Clubhouse owners, John and Claudia Moritz, my sisters all made cakes, along with several Goodman-Armstrong Creek Alumni, and my mom played her accordion for the cake walk. Lastly, I need to recognize the Alma Band members who all attended the event and performed beautifully. Seniors: Ryan Brevick, Emily Walker, Emma Myren, Ryann Rieck, Brooke Priefert, Jacob Peterson, Karysa Schalinske, and Katrina Heller. Juniors: Ashley Bartelt, Zoey Danzinger, Madox Stewart, Roland Goeldner, Claire Goeldner, and Ashton Radatz. Sophomores: Chloe Reed, Mya Stewart, Hailee McQuiston, Finley Noll, and Madalyn Wick. Freshmen: Liam Midtovne Trenton Krzoska, and Reece Soderberg. I can't praise these students enough for their outstanding performance, respectful behavior, and dedication and commitment to the band program. I am honored to be their teacher! Once again, THANK YOU all for making this 7th trip to Goodman one that I will cherish forever. -D-R
