Welcome back! I hope that you and your children had a good week away from school last week. The children seemed to return to school this week recharged and ready to go. I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to view the Roderick School Blog. As of this posting, there have been over 10,000 page views. I know everyone's time is precious, so, thank you for taking the time each week to check in.

Mrs.
Farrell's and Miss Marazzi's classrooms combined to teach a science
lesson on camouflage and adaptations for the Grade 4 Animal Unit.
Students played the roles of different types of birds who were hunting
insects. Students had the opportunity to predict, hypothesize, and make
observations based on data they had collected. These birds had a blast
working together!
