A little mystery in the library! Our 6th grade English students became detectives this week, using exposition and setting to solve the case of the missing Manga books. Who knew learning could be so suspenseful?

RTMS loves our bus driver's! Today we had a productive roundtable meeting, enjoyed a delicious Chick-fil-a breakfast alongside some homemade goodness, and shared ways to ensure our Jags are safely transported to and from school.

Life Science students engaged in a variety of activities as part of the Introduction to Cells unit. They used microscopes to compare and contrast plant and animals cells and to visualize the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms. Students also observed some of the many specialized cells that make up animals and plants.

🎉 Meet the newest members of the Rodney Thompson family—our FACS Flour Babies! 👶🍼

As part of the Human Development Unit, students in Mrs. Traish's FACS classes are learning about responsibility, time management, planning, and caring for their “babies” throughout the school day. They’re also putting their creativity to work by designing clothing, blankets, accessories, and carriers as part of our textiles curriculum.

It’s been a fun mix of creativity, problem-solving, real-world responsibility, and just a little FUN CHAOS! 😂

We’re so proud of the care, creativity, and effort our students are showing! 💙🐆
