Who is "Mrs. Roda"?
Dave and Isiah hiking in Lakes Basin.
Soooooo...I love chocolate, walking around Target, and an occasional Starbucks!
This is my sixteenth year teaching fifth grade. The first seven in another district and the remainder here in YCUSD. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
My husband, Dave, and I have one son, Isiah. Isiah is in the fourth grade at Lincrest. We have a dog named Bochy, fish named Messi, and a gecko names Joe Panik. Goooo Giants! My family loves to have fun outside hiking, playing, swimming, kayaking, or biking. Well, in good weather! In the winter, you will find us by the fire watching movies or doing puzzles.
I stay busy preparing lessons for fabulous fifth graders, running, and cheering on Isiah in his various sports. I use reusable bags in stores (when I remember to bring them in) and am never without my water bottle. I actually feel lost without it! My favorite store is Target, in fact my school year's resolution (for the past three years) is to visit it less frequently. They have most of my money:( I love reading as much as chocolate and Target! I carry a book (Kindle) wherever I go (even hiking) just in case I have time to read. It's my hobby!

Welcome scholars of room 13!
I am excited for a wonderful year full of fun activities and hard work. Your parents and I are preparing you to head off to middle school, high school, and then to even further your education. This is such an important year for growing-up and preparing for what's ahead! I look forward to getting to know each of you throughout the school year.
Some things to look forward to are: Mystery Skypes, book chats, Photo Peach, The Crocker Art Museum, Shady Creek, Genius Hour, blogging, and more!
This website is going to be very important this year. I will post links to homework assignments, math videos to help you, pictures we take in the classroom, some of your work, and upcoming events!
As the year progresses, our classroom website will fill up with amazing stuff! Share it with your parents, grandparents, or family far away. It is a great way for them to see some of what you do in 5th grade!
It's going to be a great year! GOOOOOOO LINCrest lions!
