Rockdale Elementary School’s staff is working very hard to develop a learning environment that is both creative and challenging for their students.
This week, the following column was written by pre-kindergarten team leader, Kim Pizana of Rockdale Elementary who is excited to share what her team has to offer their students:
Our pre-kindergarten, youngest, most inquisitive learners are gearing up for a rip-roaring good time at the 8th annual Pre-Kindergarten Rockin’ Rodeo Thursday.
Families are creating stick horses at home and sending them to school for their children to rope, ride, parade, and rustle up alongside their friends.
Students will dress in Western attire and explore various thrilling rodeo-themed stations to sharpen math, literacy, science, and fine-motor skills.
Our Pre-K Rodeo coincides with a mini-field trip to the Rockdale Fair on Friday,
Partnered with RHS FFA students, we will tour the fairgrounds to learn more about show animals and other FFA activities and opportunities.
Art Free and his students always make sure we have a grand time.
Our annual Pre-Kindergarten Extravaganza is also quickly approaching. Pre-K students and teachers are preparing a delightful and entertaining dramatic presentation with a little singing, a little dancing, and a whole lot of fun for everyone at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 16 in the RES cafeteria.
Parents are encouraged to pre-register with the RES Office, 512-430-6030.
Looking ahead to December, the season of thankfulness and giving to others, our students will be focusing on giving back and completing acts of kindness for others in our community.
We partner with residents of Renaissance Villa, and clients of the MARC Center to spread holiday cheer.
Young children can learn to give back during the holiday season by sharing a kind word, offering a smile, sharing a toy, drawing a picture, writing or dictating a note, or comforting a friend or family member.
This holiday season, our goal is to intentionally focus our hearts and minds on showing kindness, compassion, grace, and love to others.

Our hope is that these activities will foster a love of wanting to help others less fortunate than ourselves and as they grow, so will their spirit of kindness and generosity.
In pre-kindergarten at RES, our students and teachers celebrate personal and academic achievements as we work collaboratively with parents to set academic and social goals and celebrate individual and class successes.
We are strongly anchored in academic excellence and are actively cruising to success.
