After more snow this week, it was hard to believe that we welcomed spring on Wednesday. Now that we are officially in the season, let's hope we get some nicer weather.
Miss White’s class and Mrs. Moon’s class
participated in Rate Contests this morning. In teams of four, students
worked together to find unit rates and ratios as the contests were
completed. Contests included: stuffing as many marshmallows in your
mouth in 10 seconds, hopping on your left foot/right foot for 60 seconds,
bouncing a basketball waist high for 30 seconds, and blowing as many bubbles as
possible in 2 minutes. The objective was to get the best rate for each
event. Congratulations to both classes for a
job well done!
Roderick School students Marina, Jenna, Kiley, Avery, and Allison recently developed a plan to repaint the girls' bathroom on the O'Connell Wing. Thank you to these outstanding students for taking their free time last Friday to make our school a nicer place. We are very proud of them and the bathroom looks great!
Nicole, Maria, and Abby from Ms. White's sixth grade class visited me this week with their unbelievable Traveling the Continents book. These students wrote this book for the Kids are Authors contest. Great job, ladies!
The 6th grade classes recently completed
their unit on Earth Science. As a culminating activity on the Changing Earth,
students in Miss Maloney’s, Miss White’s, Mrs. Moon’s, and Mrs. Cederbaum’s
classes worked in cooperative groups to create their own volcanoes. The groups
made their volcano out of student-made playdough and a water bottle. The
students watched as the volcanoes erupted -- some with a small fizzle and some
with a bang!
As a reminder, please refrain from entering the bus circle from 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM - 3:00PM. In the last month or so, there have been numerous vehicles trying to enter the bus circle during the times mentioned above. This creates a serious safety issue for students, staff, and parents. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Next week continues our Spring 2013 ELA MCAS Administration for our fourth and fifth graders. Thanks for making sure the students
are well rested, in school on time and ready to take the MCAS test on their
MCAS days!
Next Thursday, March 28th the
Wrentham Public Schools’ will participate in a “Random Act of Kindness” Spirit Day.
We would like to donate
“Birthday Bags” to our local Food Pantry so that all children have the chance
to celebrate their birthday!
We need each grade to bring
in items to help make the bags complete:
·
Grade 4: frosting and cake mix
·
Grade 5: tissues/ribbons
·
Grade 6: party favors (horns, hats, gum, candy, etc.)
**Please remember to come to school on Thursday, March 28th wearing as much of your favorite color as you can!
Thank you in advance for your Random Act
of Kindness!
