Aikin’s Book Vending Machine!

The principal, assistant principals, and librarian standing in front of a book vending machine

Our LITE (Librarian), Mrs. Ingram, has been keeping a secret for weeks now. We have a new Book Vending Machine in the Library!

Students who receive a positive office referral will earn a token to spend at the vending machine, and they get to keep whichever book they choose. Positive office referrals are awarded by any adult in the building to students who go above and beyond demonstrating our values:

  • Be Safe
  • Be Responsible
  • Be Respectful
It’s a pumpkin patch in the classroom at Aikin Elementary, where first graders turn review time into a pumpkin hunt! Pumpkins around the room are labeled with nouns, and students then sort them by person, place, thing or proper noun on graphic organizers. These interactive and collaborative activities help our young learners develop both personal and academic skills as they engage and grow together in #RISDInTheClassroom!
