🪁🐾 Kites Take Flight in 4th Grade! 🐾🌬️
Our 4th graders learned the science behind how kites fly! Students explored the four forces needed for successful flight (lift, drag, tension, and weight) just like airplanes use. ✈️ Then, they designed and built their own bird kites and put them to the test! What a fun way to bring science to life! 💙🐾

🦈🐾 Shark Week in the Library at Rodgers!🐾📚 It’s all about sharks in the library this week! After reading and learning about sharks, students took on a fun STEM challenge—building a bridge across “shark-infested waters.” The challenge? No part of the bridge could touch the water (paper)! Students showed lots of creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

🧪🐾 Lava Lamp Learning in 4th Grade! 🐾🌋
Our 4th graders explored how lava lamps work through a fun hands-on science activity! After learning about density, students created their own “lava lamps” using water, oil, and an Alka-Seltzer tablet. It was exciting to watch the changes happen right before their eyes!

🌟Wisdom Wednesday🌟: Mrs. Byrum, School Counselor, visited Mrs. Jenkins’ Classroom (Mrs. Dail’s Homeroom) today to introduce our May focus: Citizenship! Students learned that being a good citizen means being a member of a community who helps others, follows rules, and works to make the school and world a better place.
