Rodgers Elementary 5th graders took a trip around the world by researching Christmas traditions in different countries!
Students created presentations to share what they learned about Mexico, Italy, England, Sweden, Germany, and France. For some countries, they also enjoyed hands-on experiences, such as making Swedish weaving hearts and sampling Swedish cookies, making ornaments, trying German chocolate stollen and gingerbread, and creating a beautiful Bûche de Noël to represent France. What a fun and engaging way to learn about holiday traditions around the world!

This week, we had Wisdom Wednesday on 12/17/25 and students in Mrs. Jenkins’ class along with Mrs. Byrum’s, School Counselor, assistance learned why it’s important to pause and think before acting. Stopping to think helps us make kind choices, avoid trouble, solve problems peacefully, and show respect and self-control. We also discussed using Good Judgment and the THINK rule before we speak or act:

💭 Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind?

5th grade at Rodgers was given a challenge from Santa in a review of Force and Motion! They were to build a sleigh for Santa to fly down 3 different ramps. While traveling down the ramps, the presents (our duck) could not fall out! Students talked about the effects of gravity, friction, and mass in this challenge!

4th graders have been learning about animals and their habitats! This week they specifically learned about Reindeer, also known as Caribou, and the type of habitat they live in along with their special adaptations! To make things interesting, Mrs. Jenkins gave the students a challenge… Santa’s reindeer lost their ability to fly and need a way back to the North Pole. The students learned that Reindeer can swim…. But not as far as these deer needed to go! Students were to build a raft to see if it would float the reindeer. The waters were even tested with some wind!

Art and creativity were on full display this week at Rodgers!
First graders explored symmetry while strengthening fine motor skills through a snowflake art project using Q-tips and glue. Meanwhile, third grade artists used oil pastels to practice blending, contrast, and value as they created festive candle drawings that appear to glow. We love seeing creativity and learning shine across grade levels!
