Hello Roderick Community,

On Wednesday, we celebrated our Roderick Awards Day.  We are so proud of this year's students!







 

The students of Miss White’s class and Mrs. Moon’s class held a Southeast Asia & Oceania Showcase this week to present their Glogsters to their parents and teachers.  The students were required to use at least 6 technology tools (Glogster, Voki, Tagxedo, Windows Movie Maker, FlipShare, Photo Story, Timeliner and Garfield Comic) to present their research about one of 10 countries located in Southeast Asia or Oceania.  All of the groups did an incredible job! 



Grade 5 celebrated Colonial Day on Tuesday.  The students traveled back in time.










Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral recipients.  These students were recognized for going out of their way to be inclusive, kind, and helpful.  We are very proud of these students! 



Grade 4 presented an awesome Animal Tour and Toured the USA this week.









Ms. O'Connell's class recently hosted Mrs. Nunes' class for crafts.  They assisted the kindergartners by making book marks for summer reading and kites :-)
