Roderick Review Week 15 (12/7/15-12/11/15)

Next Week:  Parent-Teacher Conferences!  
As both a parent and a teacher, I have appreciated parent-teacher conferences over the years as an experience that can strengthen the home-school partnership.  As you prepare for the upcoming conferences for your children, it may be helpful to think about the following:

1.  What would you like your child's teacher to know about your child?  Any new special interests?  Any changes in health or changes coming up at home?  
2.  What questions do you have about your child's academic strengths?  Do you have any questions about what the grades "mean" on the report card?
3  What questions do you have about how best to help your children at home practice different concepts and skills they are working on at school?
4.  What questions does your child have?

I will be attending some teacher conferences throughout the grades and will also have times in between conferences if you would like to touch base with me as well.  Enjoy these special times with your child(ren)'s teachers as you discuss your child's progress!

What is happening at Roderick?
Check out the latest and greatest masterpieces from our student artists!  This is just a hint of what is to come during our Night of the Arts on January 13th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  Mark your calendars now! 



 

Congratulations to all of our students who have participated in the "Gifts for Kids" program!  Students have earned their own money to purchase items that will benefit children who are less fortunate.  They are learning that it truly is a blessing to give to others.  Pictured below are just some of the items that students in 6Moon were able to purchase this week!


Students explore different ways to represent division problems when they are finding the divisor, dividend, or quotient with Ms. O'Toole and Dr. Ribeiro.

 


Ms. Haughey's scientists are pacing out just how far the planets are from each other and the sun in this demonstration.


Students took part in the Hour of Code this week with Mrs. Fox.  If you would like more information about the Hour of Code, check out the following site:  https://hourofcode.com/us
