October 31, 2014 - Week 9

Hello Roderick Families,



It was a very busy week of learning mixed in with a little bit of fun at the Roderick School! Please remember that there is no school on Tuesday, November 4th due to a teacher professional development day.

The students enjoyed visiting the fall Scholastic Book Fair throughout the week. A big THANKS to Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Munn, Mrs. King, Mrs. Leveroni, Mrs. Canavan, and the many other parent volunteers who helped to make the fall Book Fair a great success.

Also, we would like to thank Roche Brothers of Millis for donating paper bags and a $100.00 gift card.  We greatly appreciate their generosity!  










As a reminder, Grade 4 and 5 students are invited to a Hoedown on Monday, November 3rd at 7:00 PM in the Roderick School.  It is going to be a great night!





Positive Referrals!!!
These students received a Positive Referral this week for demonstrating great work ethic.  Keep up the good work!







We had a great time admiring Grade 4's creative pumpkins on Friday!










Beginning on Monday, November 3rd, the Wrentham Public Schools will be collecting canned goods and non perishables, for the Wrentham food pantry.  Collections will take place throughout the week ending on Friday, November 7th.  In addition, students are encouraged to participate in Express Yourself Day.  Students are encouraged to wear something that expresses what they are or what they like i.e. sports outfit, favorite animal.  Please consider participating in this special event.


On a visit to Mrs. Coleman's Grade 4 classroom students had the opportunity to solve word problems using visual fraction models and equations.  They did a great job!  





 

  
 On Friday, November 14th we will be hosting our first Principals’ Coffee of the year.  During this time, we will go over the recently released MCAS data and preview the upcoming parent/teacher conferences. This Principals’ Coffee will be held on Friday, November 14th at 8:30 AM in the Vogel Auditorium.  Please note that if you are stuck for child care, please feel free to bring your little ones.  We hope that you will be able to stop in after you drop off your child(ren) on this day.  Food service director, Mrs. Judy White Orlando and her staff will be providing refreshments for this presentation.

Mrs. Clutterbuck's fifth grade class and Mrs Kane's fifth grade class visited the WEST Science lab this week.  Their focus: weathering and erosion.  













Check out these AMAZING globe pumpkins from Mrs. Moon's class!
