On Friday, October 12th, our fourth graders went on a field trip to Old Sturbridge Village. Our fourth graders were able to visit this living history museum during its harvest. Students experienced firsthand what New England life was like from 1790 - 1840 (sawmill demonstration, pottery making, shoe making, musket firing) . Authentically costumed staff carried out the daily activities of an early 19th century community. Students had a great time and staff is thrilled that they were able to attend Old Sturbridge Village in the fall as it coincides with their classroom study of the New England Region.
Congratulations to our Positive Referral this week. This student has been caught multiple times this year being kind and supportive. What a great characteristic to model. We are very proud of her!
Members of Ms. Frizzell's fifth grade class recently completed their Fantasy Football Challenge. During this project, students cooperatively use computation, estimation, and planning skills with their partner to build a fantasy football team and track their success.
2nd Annual Halloween Spooktacular
On Thursday, October 25th, the King Philip High School Student Council will be hosting a Halloween Spooktacular for all students in Pre-K through 6. This event will be held from 6:00 - 8:00 PM at the high school and is free of charge. Students will be able to play games, do crafts, and enter a costume contest. Members of the KP School Council are pictured below with some of our fifth and sixth grade students. They visited our school on Thursday to share news of the Spooktacular with our students.
Special thanks to Diana Zeller and members of the PTO for their assistance with our recent Fall Book Fair. Successful fundraising activities take time and organization. The success of this year's Fall Book Fair is clear evidence of Diana's and the PTO's outstanding work. On behalf of the students and the staff of the Roderick School, thank you!

Congratulations to some of our grade 5 students. After spending many days out at recess practicing, they started a "Flash Mob" out at recess on Wednesday. The girls should be commended for their hard work and initiative with this project. Great job!
