Robotics at Rose Hill

Robotics

 

To make our master schedule work, Rose Hill provides a Robotics class to our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. The class takes place once a week and is taught by Mrs. Masters, our School Based Technology Specialist. This class is not required by FCPS and our local school budget pays for the materials and supplies. What you see in the pictures above may look like the regular Legos, but they are Legos that use a single board computing device, motor, and other items that can be programmed to do certain things. Think of it as play with a very distinct purpose. The students get extremely creative and excited bringing their creations to life! 


Yearbook Order Deadline Extended

We have extended the deadline to place your order for the 2023-2024 yearbook. Cost is $14 and the deadline to order is April 19th. To order, follow the directions below.

There will be a very small number of yearbooks (less than 20) that will be available to purchase in June. We highly suggest that if you want a yearbook for your student, order it now!

Fourth Grade Museum

4th Grade Museum

 

This week, the fourth graders put on a museum of sorts. This was a cumulation of their research learning and work that they have been doing over the last few weeks. The students shared details about what they have been researching, which allowed them to practice their oral presentation skills and their writing skills were displayed through their presentation boards. Thank you to all of the family members that were able to attend and support the students!
