Please take a minute to see the great things that took place at the Roderick School this past week.
Students in Mrs. Moon's sixth grade classroom recently visited King Philip High School. Students interviewed members of the K.P. Boys' Varsity Basketball team. Mrs. Moon's students will take information gathered at the interviews and create the 2012-2013 team program.
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals! The students shown below demonstrated great character in a variety of ways. Assisting other students, assisting Roderick staff members, and displaying respect and responsibility were all demonstrated by these individuals. Congratulations and keep up the great work!
Today, Mrs. Kane's fifth grade class hosted a Culinary Tasting Expo. This was a culminating activity for students' recipe writing using steps in a process. The students brought in samples of their recipe and shared them with special visitors and classmates.
As I mentioned in my November 16th posting, many of our classes at the Roderick School became involved in a community service project initiated by students from the King Philip DECA program. Students at the Roderick wrote letters of thanks to individuals serving in our military. These letters were included in care packages assembled by DECA students. I wanted to share a note that I received from the students who organized this project:
Dear Mr. Grenham and faculty of the Roderick Elementary School,
Megan and I received the letters the students created Thursday afternoon and we would just like to say how awe-struck we are by the effort, time and creativity put into what must be hundreds of letters! Megan and I are emotionally moved by the support we received from your school through these letters. The letters and illustrations are incredible pieces of art that we are honored and proud to send to soldiers overseas and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please give a tremendous thank you to your students and faculty for us!
Sincerely,
Rachel Palumbo
Students in Grade 4 celebrated Grinch Day today. Teachers and students dressed "Grinchy", but were reminded that their hearts should be two sizes too big during during this season, rather than two sizes too small! Students integrated Grinch characters into problem solving, measuring, comparing, and contrasting. It was a great day for all!
