Roderick Review (Week 22) 1/30/17-2/3/17



THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the 
School Needs Survey this year!  
We had hundreds of responses from families at both schools!  Both Mrs. Wagstaff and I will be reflecting on the feedback and sharing this information with the School Council to inform our next two-year School Improvement Plan!  Stay tuned for more information from our School Council soon!  (Our next School Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7th at 3:15 p.m.)

This week at Roderick....

Fourth graders were working on their biography project.  Students read several different sources, took notes, organized information into appropriate sections and some are beginning to put it together using Chromebooks.

Fourth graders are learning about camouflage and how some animals deter predators by looking like other animals, while others blend in with the habitat or can change color depending upon their surroundings.

In the photo above, there are actually two hidden butterflies.

Fifth graders are testing their knowledge with a student-created Kahoot quiz!

Fourth graders are working on solving problems in a group, each listening to the others and evaluating how they should approach it together.

As students solve the problems, they share the different strategies and their thinking behind their approach.

Friday, our Patriots Spirit Day, students and staff dressed to support their favorite teams!  (There is another fan behind the camera also sporting her TB12 jersey!  For more pictures, visit the homepage of the website!)
