🎨📚 History Comes to Life! 🐾 Today, students combined reading, social studies and art by reading about what North Carolina looked like when colonists first arrived. After visualizing the details from the passage, they painted the scene as if they were John White! We love seeing our Cubs think, imagine, and create! 💙🐾

Third graders in Mrs. Stokes’ class at Rodgers were focused on using context clues to determine word meaning and identifying important details in a passage to strengthen their comprehension skills. While Mrs. Stokes worked with small groups for targeted instruction, other students stayed engaged in meaningful literacy tasks, including computer assignments, writing, and independent reading. We love seeing our Cubs building strong reading strategies and taking ownership of their learning! 💙🐾

💙🐾 February CUBS of the Month – INTEGRITY! 🐾💙
At Rodgers Elementary, we are proud to recognize our February CUBS of the Month! These outstanding students were nominated by their teachers for demonstrating our Character Train trait of INTEGRITY. Integrity means doing the right thing—even when no one is watching. It means being honest, trustworthy, and responsible in our words and actions. Our February Cubs model these qualities each and every day, setting a positive example for others. We are so proud of the way you lead with character and represent what it means to be a Rodgers Cub! (Akash C, Matthew C, Miles C, Devyn B, Audrey M, Charlotte B, Madie E, Jackson W, Sawyer D, CJ M, Deaglan G)

Today in Mrs. Leggett’s Kindergarten class, Mrs. Byrum, School Counselor, shared our last INTEGRITY lesson for this month. Students started with reviewing the meaning of integrity - doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Together, students recited our Integrity Pledge: “I promise to do the right thing, even when no one is watching because that’s what it means to have integrity!” and signed it. We are so proud of our students for choosing to lead with integrity every day!

Fourth graders at Rodgers explored how day and night occur building their own models of the Earth and sun! Using flashlights to represent the sun, students rotated the "Earth" to see how one side experiences daytime while the other side has nighttime. Hands-on learning made this science concept shine!

RES 5th graders put their science skills to the test during their study of genetic traits! Students investigated whether they have the “super taster” trait using PTC paper. If they tasted bitterness, they carry the trait, if not, they don’t! After testing, students analyzed and graphed their results to see how many classmates carry this dominant trait. Hands-on science, real data, and lots of curiosity in action!
