Today, students in Mrs. Weaver’s class, along with Mrs. Byrum, our School Counselor, enjoyed a lesson titled, “Perseverance in Action!” They watched a short clip called Sesame Street: Bruno Mars – Don’t Give Up and discussed what to do when things get hard and how to show perseverance. Check out these pictures from today’s Wisdom Wednesday lesson! #WisdomWednesday #SEL #CharacterEducation #Perseverance

Kindergarten students read The Worst! series by Alex Willan, concluding with Yetis Are the Worst!, and discussed facts vs. opinions along with other story elements.
Then they took on a STEM challenge, building the tallest tower possible so Gilbert the Goblin could find the yetis!
So much creativity, problem-solving, and fun all in one activity!

Fourth grade at Rodgers kicked off their fossil study this week!
Students are learning about different types of fossils, including trace fossils(footprints) and how they tell stories to scientist about how the animals lived and moved! Students got to pick an animal, learn what their footprints look like, and create their own story using only only trace fossils! What a creative and fun way to bring science to life!

4th grade math students at Rodgers had a Fraction Mixer today!
Each student was given a fraction card, and the class used their reasoning skills to work together and order the fractions from least to greatest.
Lots of thinking, moving, and learning! What a great way to make fractions fun and interactive!

5th graders at Rodgers had a busy and exciting week in science!
Students worked in groups to sort living and nonliving things after learning about cells, unicellular, and multicellular organisms. They used cards to create posters and explained the characteristics that make something a “living” organism. Then, the next day, students took their learning even further by observing plant and animal cells under the microscope! What an awesome hands-on way to explore life science!
