🐣🐾 Peep STEM Challenge in 5th Grade! 🐾🐣 Our 5th graders became “parents” this week as they adopted a Peep and took on a fun STEM challenge! Students designed homes and transportation for their Peeps using recycled materials and most importantly, had to keep them safe (and not eat them! 😂). Each day, Peeps returned to school for a “wellness check.” What a creative and engaging way to bring STEM to life! 💙🐾
😄🐾 April Fools Fun at Rodgers! 🐾🎉
Several April Fools’ pranks were happening all throughout the school, and our Cubs had a blast! 5th graders tested a “new” beta feature called Google Nose , even watching a convincing video and smelling their screens to rate what they “smelled”! 😂 There were also fake spelling tests, flood drills, silly jokes, and fun surprises - like students being told they were graduating early or having to report to the principal's office … April Fools! Kindergarteners joined in with a fun writing activity, and Mrs. Woodard, Assistant Principal, even got the whole school with her announcement about an afternoon practice test… April Fools! 😄
Students and staff enjoyed a day full of harmless pranks and laughter! 💙🐾
