April 3, 2015 - Week 29

Hello Roderick Families!



MCAS testing has finished (minus two make-ups) for the students at the Roderick School. Your children were patient and disciplined in sustaining the structure of the standardized testing environment, and most importantly, they persevered through the days of MCAS testing.  I am so proud of all of our students.  Thank you for all that you do from home to create such respectful and engaging children, and most importantly, thank you for sharing them with us every day.

On Tuesday, I was invited to hand out participation certificates to the DI members.  We are so proud of all of them.  Way to go!



Miss Yelle's fourth graders used their math skills today to solve the mystery: Case of the Rotten Eggs.
 







Thanks to Dan, Shawn, Sean, and Colin from Ms. Downing's Grade 5 class for sharing their awesome math projects with me.  Incredible job!!!!




Last night the students in our ACT program presented a stunning performance of "Xanadu."  I am so proud of these students!  Their performance was incredible!!!










Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral. These students were hard-working, helpful, and diligent.  We are very proud of them!  Thanks for making our school a better place!









Mrs. Clutterbuck’s class and Miss Downing’s class reviewed improper and mixed numbers through hunting for eggs! Students had to find correct matches in order to receive “springy” treats, such as candy and homework passes!









Ms. O'Connell's fifth grade class recently finished literature circles for the books Peak, About Average, and Hatchet. Check out some of the projects these amazing kids did following the completion of these novels.  







Together with our nurses, we are excited to present a very special assembly about food allergies on April 15th. This food allergy awareness assembly has been made possible by the generous support of our own PTO! We are very grateful for their support.

Presenter:

Kyle Dine- An educator and musician who performs at schools across North America raising food allergy awareness. Kyle Dine has grown up managing his own allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, seafood, and mustard. His songs empower, support, and educate children of all ages. We are very excited to host Kyle Dine and hope your child enjoys his musical performance. Our hope is to raise food allergy awareness in our schools promoting a healthy and safe learning environment. To learn more about Kyle, please visit his website at www.kyledine.com
