April 10, 2015 - Week 30

Greetings Roderick Families,


I hope that you all had a wonderful week.  We certainly did!

In the Technology Lab with Mrs. Fox, our 6th graders were using Microsoft Excel to predict and chart how many Skittles of each color are in a small bag.  Great job!










Mrs. Marazzi’s class and Mrs. Kelley’s class created bottle terrariums to observe the Water Cycle in action.  Students observed water collection, evaporation, condensation, transpiration, and precipitation as part of their Weather Science Unit.






Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals!  Thank you for making our school such a great place! 






It is great to see the kids out on the recess fields again!!!!!









Monday is Red Sox spirit Day!  Please wear your Red Sox attire or red, white, and blue.  If your allegiance is with another team, feel free to come to school with that team's attire. 


Mrs. Kane’s 5th Grade Class dissected owl pellets this week.  They examined the remains of an owl’s meal, to learn about how owls are related to other organisms in their ecosystem.











Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled for next week on Tuesday, April 14th (afternoon) and Thursday, April 16th (evening).  The Wrentham Public Schools believe one of the best means of establishing effective home – school relationships is the parent – teacher conference.  During the spring conference, parents are encouraged to discuss their child’s progress for the current school year.  We suggest and encourage parents to inquire about what learning style and what learning environment best suits their child.  While we do recognize that many parents may be tempted to discuss specific placements during their conference, please understand that staff members will not discuss individual teachers.  Our staff looks forward to discussing your child’s educational experiences over the past school year.


On a visit to Mrs. Moon's sixth grade class, I viewed an awesome activity.  Students worked in groups to rank order survival items during a survival simulation.  The activity was linked to the Newbery award-winning book, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen which the students had just completed.
