Riley School Presents our 3rd Annual Multicultural Week!
Each year Riley students and staff work together to learn about and display the different cultures and ethnicities of Riley School. All week we will be doing different activities and displaying them around the school building.
Monday: We will have guest readers come in and read multicultural stories to our students. Our Student also have created their own multicultural dolls that are displayed in our hallway.
Tuesday: Our students will have a show and tell session in their classrooms to showcase objects and artifacts they have brought in that represent their families heritage. We also have a staff cookbook that was created. You can access it digitally here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1K5jHcffOlLViX8my-Fh6ZMXrALf5aK2QUlTDgcKwjJo/edit?usp=share_link
Wednesday: Dress like a tourist day! Our teachers and students have been hard at work learning about different countries and creating door displays to represent all they learned! Students will be able to walk around door to door and 'tour the world'.
Thursday: Diversity Circus Assembly! Students will be able to learn the importance of accepting differences and embracing their uniqueness in our fun assembly. Classroom teachers have also been preparing a class puzzle piece to add to our "pieces of Riley" puzzle board on display in the hallway.
Friday: Parent volunteers have donated their time and expertise to teach our students about different cultures and heritages. These parents will have booths set up that our students will be able to visit throughout the day with their classroom teacher.
We are so excited for our students to experience all the fun and wonder here at Riley School. Special thank you to the PTSO for providing the dolls for our students, Mrs. DuPiche for coordinating our events, Mrs. Hutchison for planning and preparation, and to all of our staff and students for the wonderful work that went into the participation activities!
