RES celebrated Constitution Day in a big way!
We started with a reminder during the morning announcements about the importance of the day, and students enjoyed engaging activities to honor the signing of the Constitution. Just some of the fun included kindergarteners creating their own classroom constitution and 5th graders making patriotic sun catchers to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy.

To celebrate Start With Hello Spirit Week, students and staff at Rodgers dressed in ways that connected them to one another! 💚 From matching outfits to creative connections, it was a fun reminder that small actions, like finding common ground, can bring us closer together!










Mrs. Dail’s 4th graders were full of excitement and enthusiasm as they went head-to-head with their teacher in a math factors game! Their brains were fully engaged as they worked together, racing to find as many factors as possible for their target number. ALL students were involved, collaborating, and having a blast with math!










STEM + Reading + Science = FUN! 🌸 Mrs. Stevens, our amazing Instructional Coach, pushed into class today with a hands-on STEM activity that tied everything together! Students combined their learning about life cycles and main idea to create their very own scientific flowers, and noted the key details needed to complete one!








Students in Mrs. Stokes’ class are working hard and staying busy! While some focused on vocabulary, Mrs. Stokes led a small group through a novel study. The learning never stops at RES, and students are encouraged to keep pushing forward even when things get tough. One student started to feel frustrated, but with Mrs. Stokes’ push, he didn’t give up and finished strong!





Fun in PE!
Our 3rd graders had a ball today rotating through different PE stations! They loved having choices and staying active while trying out a variety of activities, such as Rock-Paper-Scissors, basketball, dancing, and hopscotch!

2nd graders in Mrs. Gurganus’ class had fun playing math games this week! They practiced counting and comparing 5s and 1s while staying engaged and excited about learning!





Our 1st and 2nd graders became scientists this week as they designed their own bubble wands and tested them out with bubble soap! They explored the theory that all bubbles are round, even when the wands were made in different shapes. Lots of curiosity, creativity, and bubbly fun!










Small groups and learning never stop at RES! From Mrs. Stevens’ (instructional coach): ‘When the teacher has to test, who better to run a small group than a student!’ Our 4th graders stepped up and showed great leadership while keeping the learning going strong!


Elementary Band Meeting was Wednesday night at WPS! 🎶 Parents learned how to purchase or rent instruments through Fuller Music with the help of our band teacher, Mr. Paluszac. Several of our RES Cubs and their families were there, and students even got to explore the instruments - so exciting to see future musicians in the making!




Next week, Sept. 15–19, Rodgers Elementary will celebrate Start With Hello Week! Each day has a fun theme or activity to help us build friendships and spread kindness. Check out the flyer for all the details! Let’s make this a wonderful year of connections- starting with hello!
