I hope that you had a great long weekend and the pains of shoveling have subsided. Although Mother Nature threw a lot snow at us on Friday and Saturday, it was another busy week here at the Roderick School. Take a look at some of the great things that took place last week.
Mrs. Moon's sixth grade students are learning about Ancient Egypt. They learned about the mummification process and recently had the opportunity to participate in a mock mummification. Students were placed into groups and given their own pharaohs to mummify. The students had the chance to follow the ancient rituals.
Mrs. Farrell's fourth grade class worked collaboratively using 'Alphaboxes' as a culminating activity for their literature circle groups. Students were very creative selecting specific, important words that connected to their book.
Mrs. Kelley's and Mrs. Marazzi's students recently completed their New Year's resolutions. Students in both classes needed to come up with a resolution that was school focused. If you get a chance to stop by the fourth grade wing, please take a minute to view the students' writing.
As part of their Changing Earth science unit, Mrs. Curtin's and Mrs. Fownes's classes took a hands on approach to science. Each student made their own volcano out of playdough and a water bottle. The students watched as the volcanoes erupted -- some with a fizzle and some with a bang.
Special thanks to Mr. Sean McInnis and members of the KP Boys' and Girls' Basketball teams for volunteering at our school on Thursday. The KP student athletes visited classrooms throughout the afternoon. Our students really enjoyed seeing the "big kids."
A Night of the Arts will be held on Tuesday, February 12th from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM in the Roderick cafeteria. Please join us to celebrate the fine arts here at the Roderick School.
Thank you for reading, stay safe, and have a great week!
Warm regards,
Stephen S. Grenham, Principal
