Living History!
Bianca Rosada visited Mrs. McGee’s classroom on Thursday all the
way from Guatemala. Students learned about today’s Mayan culture and its connection to
the Ancient Mayans studied in Grade 5. Students had the opportunity to prepare questions for Ms.
Rosada about Mayan history and life in Guatemala.
The Student Council met this week and finished creating holiday ornaments. Holiday ornaments will be delivered to some of Wrentham's elderly population at sometime next week.
Congratulations to this week's Positive Referral recipients. These students were recognized for being responsible, diligent, and respectful. Thanks for making our school such a great place! Great job!
Some fifth graders invited me in to see their math creations. Students used a variety of methods (a staple of the new Common Core) to create and solve math problems. Great work!
The
Wrentham School Committee would like to remind all interested parties that the committee
will interview its three finalists on Tuesday, December 17th starting at 4:00
pm in the Roderick library. Teresa Murphy, Principal of the
Jordan-Jackson Elementary School in Mansfield will be interviewed at 4:00 pm,
Bridget Morisseau, Assistant Superintendent in Smithfield, Rhode Island is
scheduled at 5:30 pm, and Allan Cameron, Acting Assistant Superintendent in
Westwood will interview at 7:00 pm. Interviews will be approximately
seventy-five minutes with a fifteen minute break in between. We hope that
you are able to attend.

| From the Art Room |
Grade 4 hand sculpted
animals. Next, they glazed their
figures. Finally, they are celebrating
their fired sculpted animals. There is a
bond between the artists and their art.
Grade 5 designed cultural
masks and animals on paper. Next, they
sculpted their masks and
animals out of paper mache. At last,
they painted and adorned their sculptures.
There is satisfaction in a job well done.
Grade 6 planned the tiles
that will represent each student, their Core Values, and their time here at
Wrentham Elementary. They created the
tiles out of clay. Next, they glazed the
tiles. They will soon stand proud as their tiles are permanently fixed to the
hallways of the Roderick School.
It feels like winter and brrrr, it’s cold! Please be sure that your children are wearing appropriate, seasonal clothing (i.e. no shorts) and have coats, hats, mittens, boots, etc… as they will be going outside for recess. Only students who have winter boots will be allowed to go on the snow. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
A special thanks to our
extraordinary PTO and all the volunteers for providing a delicious staff
appreciation breakfast this morning. The staff and I are very grateful
and appreciative for your amazing efforts!
As always thanks for reading!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Stephen S. Grenham, Principal
