February 13, 2015 - Week 23

Greetings Roderick Families and Happy Valentine's Day!



Congratulations to the members of our Beginning Band and music instructor, Tracy Salazar for their fantastic performance on Wednesday evening.  Although many of the students have been involved in band for less than six months, this group sounded great! 

Thank you to all of the students and their families for creating Valentine's Day cards.  Today, members of the Student Council visited the Maples Nursing Home to deliver the cards to the residents.  The residents were very grateful!  

Mrs. Fownes’s class put their math and science skills to great use this morning as they used their fraction sense to determine the amount of each ingredient they would need to follow a recipe for playdough one-fourth of its original size.  After calibrating, measuring and combining the ingredients, coloring the land with food coloring, their cinder-cone or composite cone volcanoes were born.  They then used chemistry to create a reaction to demonstrate the eruption of their volcanoes.  

The Grade 4 students acted as "Tour Guides" this afternoon.  The boys and girls did a phenomenal job presenting their projects.  Bravo!  

Bravo to our recent Positive Referral recipients.  These students were recognized by a variety of staff members throughout the building for embodying our school's Core Values!  We are proud of you all!

On Thursday, Miss Downing's fifth grade class 'played the part' as they continued their Explorers Unit.

Here is a look at some of the snow around the school......
