Second grade ELA students in Mrs. Uzzell’s class at Rodgers have been exploring fables and folktales from diverse cultures! After reading "The Crow and the Pitcher," students discussed the story’s central message and how the crow used creativity to solve a problem. Building on that idea, Mrs. Stevens led them in a STEAM challenge, designing a simpler way for the crow to reach the water using only outdoor materials- a straw, and sticky tack sap. This hands-on activity encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking while connecting literacy with science and engineering!

Fifth grade ELA students at Rodgers Elementary were ‘blinded by inferences last week! After reading Sky Glitter, a story about a grandfather who becomes blind, students stepped into Grandpa’s shoes to explore how life might change. Using a ‘speed dating’ discussion format and a fun blindfold challenge with mystery bags, students used context clues, descriptive language, and empathy to strengthen their inferencing skills in a truly hands-on way!
