Happy National Teacher Assistant Day! Thank you Mrs. Bedward, Ms. Young, Mrs. Bembridge, Mrs. Wells, and Mrs. Woolard!
Last week, students enjoyed a day full of apple activities while reviewing main idea and key details, graphing, and life cycles! 📚📊
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. 👕😊
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!
Check out the pictures below from Ms. Pierce’s 1st Grade Class, Mrs. Troop’s 4th Grade Class, and Mrs. Gurganus’ 2nd Grade Class! Our students worked together to create artwork showing kindness and inclusion. 🎨 Several students and staff also teamed up to rock matching colors! What a wonderful way to celebrate teamwork, kindness, and friendship!
There is something truly special about coming together as a school family. We are grateful to everyone who joined us this morning! 🙏🐻💙
Join us TOMORROW at 7:15!
Check out the pictures below from Mrs. Harrison’s First Grade Class and Mrs. Dail’s 4th Grade Class! These students signed the Start with Hello Promise Pledges and were encouraged to step outside of their usual circle today.
Today, our Cubs celebrated Start With Hello Week by wearing GREEN and spreading kindness throughout our school! 💚
A simple hello, smile, or kind word can make someone feel seen, welcomed, and included. We’re proud of our Cubs for helping make Rodgers a place where everyone belongs! 🐾💙
🎭🌟 Our Rodgers Cubs were SHINING on stage! 🌟🎭
We were SO proud to see 10 Rodgers students in the Martin Community Players’ performance of Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr.! They were absolutely PHENOMENAL! It was so much fun watching our Cubs showcase their talent, confidence, and hard work on stage. 🎶🎭👏
Rodgers is celebrating "Start with Hello Week" next week! Wear Green on Monday - and say hello to everyone you meet!
Our Rodgers 4th graders worked together to expand their sentences by adding adjectives ! Students collaborated with partners to turn simple sentences into complete, more detailed sentences.
Great teamwork AND great writing happening at Rodgers! 💙🐻
