I once worked with a man who said, "Time waits for no man." His words certainly seem to be ringing true as we incredibly only have one school week left before the winter break begins. Here are some of the happenings at the Roderick School this week:
Dianne Mahoney (pictured above) retired from the Wrentham Public Schools on Wednesday, December 12th (her birthday). Dianne worked at the Wrentham Public Schools for 32 years. During that time, Mrs. Mahoney worked as a fifth grade teacher, a sixth grade teacher, and a Title I teacher. In each capacity, she was a true professional. May the blessing and joy you have brought to so many, along with the contentment of a job well done, fill your life with happiness.
This week, all Grade 6 classrooms participated in a holiday math activity. Students in each classroom created a set of holiday lights to model ordering fractions. Each student was given a light bulb on which they had to write a fraction and order it correctly on a string of lights (representing a number line). Students had the opportunity to collaborate to accurately order their light bulbs.
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals. These two students exhibited caring and kind attitudes in and around our school. Way to go! Thank you for showing such great character!
In preparation for their trip to see the Christmas Carol, Ms. Maloney's students were busy researching and making connections. Students collaboratively worked to locate characteristics of fashion, history, etiquette, and entertainment during the Victorian era.
Students in Mrs. Curtin's class are shown using math manipulatives to add and subtract mixed numbers. Students were charged with the task to add and subtract mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators.
As always thanks for reading!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Stephen S. Grenham, Principal
