November 21, 2014 - Week 12

Hello Roderick Community,





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




Thanks to Mrs. Poirier's class and Mrs. Thornton's class for inviting me to their 'Fraction Feast' today.  Congratulations to the boys and girls for a job well done!







Special thanks to all of the Roderick families who donated a coat for our recent coat drive. We truly appreciate your generosity!  Thank you to members of the Roderick School Council who assisted with the pick up.











We are looking forward to seeing you all next week for parent/teacher conferences.  Please remember that students will be dismissed at noon (12 p.m.) for conferences on Monday (Nov. 24th) and Tuesday (Nov. 25th).  The children will also be dismissed at noon on Wednesday, November 26th for the Thanksgiving Break.  There will be no school on November 27th or 28th due to holiday break.



Ms. Downing's grade 5 class used mystery bags to develop their inferring skills.  Students used connected the items in the bags to prior knowledge they had about the items to make inferences.  Well done, boys and girls!











Laprade Studios will be back at the Roderick School on Friday, December 5th for picture re-takes. October photos were sent home today.  Students who were absent on the October photo day or those in need of a re-take can get their pictures taken on December 5th. Please note: original picture packages must be returned. Mrs. Chambers has extra picture envelopes in the office if needed.





Mrs. Moon's Grade 6 class spent some time this week working with longitude and latitude. One of their activities was to face off against a classmate in a game of longitude and latitude battleship.
