This week during Wisdom Wednesday with Mrs. Byrum, School Counselor, Mrs. Harrison’s 1st Grade class explored what it looks like to show self-discipline. After our read-aloud, students shared thoughtful ideas about how choices can lead to positive (or not-so-positive) outcomes. We also talked about how self-discipline helps us stay focused, make good decisions, and succeed at school. We are so proud of these young learners for their great insights! #WisdomWednesday #SEL #CharacterEducation #Self-Discipline

Our Kindergarten Cubs celebrated Earth Day by visiting our new pollinator garden and helping clean up the playground! 🌸What a great way to learn about caring for our Earth and keeping our school beautiful! 💙🐾

Maverick had fun sharpening his math and number skills with a game of UNO - alongside our SRO!
Hands-on learning and a little friendly competition make for a great combination! 💙🐾

Our STEAM classes have been busy learning all about plants and how to care for them! After planting seeds back in February, students have watched them grow, and today, they were excited to plant them in our garden. Along the way, students also learned about pollinators and their importance to our Earth. We can’t wait to watch our garden grow and see what pollinators we attract! 🐝🦋
Happy Earth Day from our Rodgers Cubs! 💙🐾
