👻✏️ Spooky Writing Fun to Start October! ✏️👻
Our CUBS kicked off October by putting their descriptive writing skills and imaginations to work! Students listened to eerie music, studied a picture, and wrote what they could see and hear. 🎶📝
Each week, students challenge themselves to write more than the week before! They write live in teams, then read, vote, and discuss the writing as a class.
The engagement says it all! You could have heard a pin drop! 🤫👏 We love seeing our CUBS so excited about writing! 💙🐻

🐻🚫 Friendly Reminder for Our Rodgers Families! 🚫🐻
Please help us by reminding our CUBS to leave toys at home!
This is especially important for squishies! While they are lots of fun at home, when they break or tear, the filling can create a BIG mess in classrooms, backpacks, and on clothing. 😬
Keeping toys at home also helps prevent distractions and keeps them from being lost or damaged.
Thank you, Rodgers families, for your help and support! 💙🐻🐾
Happy National School Custodian Day to Mrs. Peele and Mr. Grant!
Happy Principal Appreciation Month to Mrs. Manning! 💙💛 We are so thankful for Mrs. Manning and the love she pours into Rodgers Elementary! 🐻💙
Here are the October breakfast and lunch menus!
✏️📚 Our 4th grade CUBS worked with partners to analyze paragraphs and identify the important parts of strong writing: topic sentence, supporting details, transition words, and a conclusion sentence. 📝✨ Breaking writing apart helps students understand how to put it all together! 💙🐻
🌟Building Positive Connections! 🌟
This month, our students learned more about their school counselor, Mrs. Byrum, and how she can support them throughout their school experience. Students focused on identifying their school counselor and learning at least one way she can help them. 💙
The lesson also focused on students building positive relationships with trusted adults, developing positive attitudes toward work and learning, and strengthening their self-awareness, all important skills for school success!
📚 This month’s lesson featured Mrs. Stokes’ Third Grade homeroom, with a little extra help from our wonderful 5th-grade student helpers: Raina , Eli, and Eva-Mae. Thank you for helping make learning fun and meaningful for our younger students!
We’re proud to help our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, one positive connection at a time! 🌱✨

Our Rodgers Elementary band students are learning their first notes under the guidance of Mrs. Fay! 🎺🎶 We love seeing their excitement as they learn to play their instruments, and we can’t wait to hear their first concert! 💙
🍂🎨 Celebrating the First Day of Fall in STEAM! 🎨🍂
Our Rodgers CUBS welcomed fall with a little Science AND Art! Students learned about the changes we begin to see in fall, including why leaves change colors and fall from the trees. 🍁
Then, they created Salt Leaf Paintings and watched as the watercolors quickly spread through the salt! Students learned that salt absorbs the water like a sponge, causing the colors to spread. 🎨🔬
A colorful way to see science in action! 💙🐻🍂

🥁🎶 Finding the Beat in STEAM at Rodgers! 🎶🥁
Earlier this month, our CUBS learned all about percussion instruments in STEAM! Older students created their own spin drums, while our younger students made their own shakers. Students listened to songs with different beats and tempos and did a wonderful job keeping the beat with their instruments!

Of course, there was plenty of tasty learning too - sampling different apples, trying homemade applesauce, and making apple nachos with their favorite toppings! 😋🍎
A BIG thank you to everyone who donated items to help make this special day a success! ❤️🍏

💛 Start with Hello Spirit Week: Thoughtful Thursday! 💛
Today our students were encouraged to include others, spread kindness, and lift each other up! Check out these awesome students from Mrs. Leggett’s Kindergarten Class and Mrs. Weaver’s 3rd Grade Class rocking their t-shirts with positive messages! Students also wore t-shirts today with a positive message. 👕😊
🎨🔴🟡🔵 Dot Day Creativity in STEAM! 🔵🟡🔴
Last week, every class at Rodgers celebrated Dot Day in STEAM! Students read The Dot, talked about the meaning behind the story and why we celebrate Dot Day, and then created dots of their own! 🖌️✨
Each student started with only three paint colors and, just like Vashti in the story, discovered how mixing colors could create new colors and shades. Each grade level worked with an assigned color to create its own unique variations!
When all of our dots came together, they created a beautiful quilt celebrating creativity and self-belief, all starting with just one little dot!

Even the rain couldn’t dampen this special morning at Rodgers. 🌧️💙 Parents, students, staff, and community members gathered together for See You at the Pole and shared a meaningful time of prayer for our students, families, school, and community.
There is something truly special about coming together as a school family. We are grateful to everyone who joined us this morning! 🙏🐻💙
