The Beta Box visited Rodgers this week, giving some of our students an exciting hands-on STEM experience! Students designed and built their own rockets and then had the chance to launch them.
Our Cubs loved the opportunity to explore, create, and learn through this engaging activity. What a fun way to spark curiosity and interest in science!

Fourth graders had a tasty way to learn science this week! Using Oreos, students made sure they could master the order of the moon phases.
Thank you to Mrs. Jenkins, our science teacher, for sharing this fun and engaging lesson with our Cubs!

Students across North Carolina participated in the High Wind Drill this morning. Our Rodgers Cubs took the drill seriously and did a great job following procedures.
Practicing helps ensure that we are prepared in the event of an emergency and know how to stay safe. Great job, Cubs! 💙🐾

🎨📚 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! 💙🐾
This afternoon, we had some very special visitors from MIMS who helped us celebrate the Chinese New Year in an exciting way!

What an exciting l way to learn about and celebrate traditions from around the world! Thank you to our MIMS students for bringing the celebration to Rodgers!
💙🐾 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!
Rodgers Elementary is launching a Reading for Education program to help our school raise money. A lanyard explaining how the program works has been sent home with your student. Parents, please read over the information describing how you can participate. Your student will earn a book buddy participation prize when they return the filled-out lanyard to school, and they can earn more great prizes when your family and friends help our school raise money. So don't forget to send the filled-out lanyard back to school, and thanks for your support. We are hopeful that all students will participate and earn their book buddy prizes to read with as we kick off Read Across America Week this week.
This morning, we celebrated our weekly iReady leaders in true Cubs fashion! Our class leaders earned a special hallway celebration filled with energy, excitement, and a little Olympic spirit! We love recognizing students who are showing perseverance, growth, and commitment to their learning! Way to go, leaders! Keep pushing, keep growing, and keep making us proud!
5th Grade students ventured outside this morning to observe a small ecosystem in the school’s backyard! They looked for all of the biotic and abiotic things that they could see. After they made a list individually, we came inside for a class discussion on all of their findings!
In 2nd grade ELA small groups with Mrs. Uzzell, Gabby and Hayes worked on comparing and contrasting stories. After reading "The Big Mitten" and "The Mitten," they used a Venn Daigram to identify similarities and differences . They worked hard, stayed focuesed, and did a fantastic job showing what they learned!
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!
Kindergarten registration is coming soon! Mark your calendars! We can't wait to meet our future CUBS!
