🏕️🐾 Step Back in Time at Camp Flintlock! 🐾🏕️
Rodgers 4th and 5th graders took a field trip to Camp Flintlock to experience what life was like during the Revolutionary War! Students explored history through hands-on activities, learning about the flintlock rifle, colonial clothing, and daily life. They made Native American necklaces, created leather notebooks and candles, practiced throwing a tomahawk, and even played colonial games!

Mrs. Stevens, our instructional coach, joined a 4th grade reading class for a fun St. Patrick’s Day STEAM activity that combined Legos and text structure!
Students were assigned a specific text structure, then designed and built a leprechaun trap. Next, they will write about their trap using their assigned structure, bringing reading and creativity together in an engaging way! What a great example of hands-on learning that makes literacy come alive!

Wisdom Wednesday with Mrs. Byrum, School Counselor: Today in Mrs. Uzzell’s 2nd grade class, students talked about what courage looks like.

Reminder: Tomorrow is is the last day to get a book buddy! Rodgers Elementary has launched a Reading for Education program to help our school raise money. A lanyard explaining how the program works has been sent home with your student. Parents, please read over the information describing how you can participate. Your student will earn a book buddy participation prize when they return the filled-out lanyard to school, and they can earn more great prizes when your family and friends help our school raise money. So don't forget to send the filled-out lanyard back to school, and thanks for your support. We are hopeful that all students will participate and earn their book buddy prizes to read with as we kick off Read Across America Week this week.
A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful community partner, Woodmen Life, for donating a new American flag to Rodgers after ours was damaged by the weather. We appreciate your support of our school and our students! Thank you, Mr. Cannon, for delivering it to Rodgers today.
Mrs. Jenkins has taken on the wonderful task of revitalizing our playground garden while teaching students how to care for plants and flowers. This week, she worked with our 2nd graders, discussing what plants need to survive before taking their classes outside to place their plants in the sunlight. The students were so excited to see sprouts on other plants that had already been growing and can’t wait for their own to begin sprouting! What a great way to connect science, responsibility, and hands-on learning for our Cubs! 💙
To wrap up Read Across America Week, Rodgers Elementary held a fun Character Parade! Students dressed as their favorite book characters, carried their books, and paraded through the halls of RES. We saw so many adorable, creative, and fun costumes! This was an exciting way to celebrate reading and the characters we love!
Rodgers Cubs had a great time celebrating Read Across America Week with fun dress-up days and lots of excitement around reading! Here are just a few pictures from the week. Stay tuned for another post featuring our Character Parade from the final day!
The Beta Box visited Rodgers this week, giving some of our students an exciting hands-on STEM experience! Students designed and built their own rockets and then had the chance to launch them.

Students across North Carolina participated in the High Wind Drill this morning. Our Rodgers Cubs took the drill seriously and did a great job following procedures.
Practicing helps ensure that we are prepared in the event of an emergency and know how to stay safe. Great job, Cubs! 💙🐾
