Even though it was a short week, we had lots of exciting things happening in the Roderick! Please enjoy this week's blog and be sure to check out the "Mark Your Calendar" section at the bottom for upcoming dates and reminders.
Our classroom teachers and Special Education staff spent time on Tuesday being training in
Fountas and Pinnell. Fountas and Pinnell is a comprehensive system for one-on-one assessment reliably and systematically matches students' instructional and independent reading abilities to the appropriate text level. Classroom teachers spent some of this week and will spend more time next week assessing the students in their class.
Positive Referrals!!!
These students received a Positive Referral this week for demonstrating outstanding behavior. Keep up the good work!
And the winner is.....Thomas! Thomas and Tyler squared off for
the final round of the Fraction Satisfaction tournament in Mrs. Thorton's and
Mrs. Poirier's math classes. The
Fraction Satisfaction game allowed students to practice comparing and ordering
fractions in a fun and fast paced game!
Thank you to all who came out to cheer on the Wrentham Public Schools' staff at the softball game on Wednesday night. I am happy to report that this fun night raised $2,253.00! This money will be used to fund Wrentham Teachers' Association scholarships. A special thanks to all the staff members who participated and to all of the police staff who participated. Finally, a big thanks to Mrs. Moon for organizing this event, Caroline Aaron for beautifully singing the National Anthem, and Mike McGuire for serving as the announcer for the evening. Here are some of the sights from the game.
On a visit to Mrs. Kane's fifth grade classroom this week I observed a food experiment that highlighted liquids changing into solids. Students have been studying sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. This activity was informative and fun!
