Roderick Review (Week 13) 11/21/16-11/25/16

Roderick Review (Week 13) 11/21/16-11/25/16
THANKFUL HEARTS 
FROM CARING KIDS!

On Wednesday, November 23rd, the fourth graders participated in the second annual Thankful Hearts from Caring Kids project.  Thanks to the generous donations from the students and their families, we gathered together as a fourth grade community with students, teachers, staff, and families to celebrate Thanksgiving through poem presentations and song performances.  The event culminated in the assembly of care packages to send to those currently serving in the military to thank them for all they do to protect and preserved our freedom.  Enjoy the pictures below at various phases of this phenomenal event!  Thank you to all who participated!  We even had a special guest visit us as well to celebrate how the students were demonstrating our core values!

























Important Upcoming Dates:
* Wednesday, November 30th - Early Dismissal (12:00 p.m.) for Afternoon Conferences
* Thursday, December 1st - Early Dismissal (12:00 p.m.) for Evening Conferences

Making the Most of Parent -Teacher Conferences...
Before the conference, review student work that comes home, jot down any questions or concerns that you have, and also check in with your child to see if s/he has any questions as well.
At the conference, share the questions or concerns that you or your child have, listen for your child's strengths, and for what skills and concepts they are working on next as they work towards grade level benchmarks.
After the conference, share what you learned with your child.  It is a powerful, supportive message when students see that their parents and teachers are working in concert with one another to help them to continue to learn and grow.  If you have other questions after the conference, do feel free to reach out.  We value ongoing two-way communication between home and school and want to hear from you if you have questions.

WRENTHAM FOOD PANTRY...
Just a reminder that we are collecting items for the Wrentham Food pantry in the lobbies at both schools.  You may drop items off at any time.  Thank you for your support!
