Congratulations to the PE Assistant Coaches for Mrs. Fitzgerald for February. These students have been great leaders in the gym. Way to CHOMP Gators!
Rockford Elementary SAVE Promise first graders lead our school-wide assembly about our leadership trait of the month. These Gators demonstrated to the students and staff what it means to be a leader using Active Listening skills. Our leadership team in SAVE Promise also shared updates on our ongoing food drive. We are almost to our goal!
Fifth graders participate in a demonstration to show how warm and cool air affects the air pressure. When an empty bottle was placed into a bowl of hot water, the pressure around the bottle increased, causing the balloon to inflate. When the bottle was moved to a cold bowl of water, the pressure dropped and the balloon deflated.

Today, all eyes were on Punxsutawney Phil for his big weather prediction! Did he see his shadow, meaning six more weeks of winter? Or did he not see it, signaling an early spring?
No matter the forecast, we’re looking forward to what’s ahead at Rockford Elementary!

February is National Children's Dental Health Month! It’s a great opportunity to teach kids about the importance of brushing, flossing, and overall oral hygiene.
What is Children's Dental Health Month?
Brought to the public by the American Dental Association, every February thousands of dedicated dental professionals, healthcare providers, and educators come together to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers, and others during Childrens Dental Health Month.
Congratulations to our student leaders of the month for February! These students lead their class in communication skills. Each student stood out to their teachers for their excelling abilities to listen and communicate clearly and effectively. Great job Gators! We are proud of you! 🐊

Congratulations to our student leader of the month Skylee Freeman! Skylee works hard every day to communicate clearly and effectively with her classmates and teachers. Skylee leads by showing others good examples of sharing her ideas and listening to others when they speak. Great job and Keep Chomping! 🐊
Kindergarten has been studying the life cycle of a butterfly this week. Today, they used pasta to represent each stage.
For the month of January students and staff worked to be better communicators. This month, our staff nominated Ms. Britney Shelton to be the communication leader. Staff said, "Britney is a great communicator to students and staff. She goes the extra mile to explain things to students to make sure they understand content or general ideas. She communicates with staff to share ideas and to ensure goals are being met within the classroom. She is friendly to all and communicates her care for others not only with her words but through her actions as well."
Today, Mrs. Simpson's class and her intern Miss Antunez created edible models of the layers of skin. Students used several yummy treats to do so. Students began with a layer of marshmallows to represent the subcutaneous layer in the hypodermis. Next, students layered chocolate pudding on top to represent the dermis. Students stuck gummy worms in the dermis to represent hair. Students finally added a layer of crushed graham crackers on top to represent the epidermis. The graham crackers resembled the skin that flakes from daily activity.
