Mr. Doane's 6th graders have been busy with science experiments!!! Some students worked with a partner while others chose to work independently. All of the students were able to talk about their experiments. Some students were already making a new hypothesis
Mr. Taylor's 6th graders are studying ancient cultures and preparing for some big projects. Today, students were learning about Mayan masks and the significance of all the details and colors that were used to create their masks. Students will be creating their own unique masks with the support of Mrs. Dove's STEAM program and Mrs. Link's Art program. Finally, students will complete a research paper where they will gather information and cite sources. Ask your 6th grader about mask ideas!
Ms. Schmidli has been using the book, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park for an interactive read aloud and as a focus for lessons practicing a variety of ELA skills. This book is extremely engaging as each chapter is written from the perspective of two 11 year-olds from Sudan set in different time periods. Students hear from a boy named Salva in 1985 and a girl named Nya in 2008. Ms. Schmidli sparked increased interest by letting her students know that these two lives connect in some way by the end of the book. Make sure to ask your 5th grader about this story!
Mrs. Harrison was using Base 10 Blocks to teach place value with decimals to our 5th graders today. She provided a new twist to the place value lessons students learned in lower elementary grades. She was able to use the document camera to easily display her modeling!
Third grade was getting some practice with nouns, verbs, and adjectives today without using a worksheet! Students completed a sorting activity in Seesaw on their chromebooks. An added feature to this interactive program is that students are able to record themselves explaining their answers! Super engaging!!!
Green Ridge moms are so amazing! Today was our monthly cupcake day, and they spiced things up for St. Patrick's Day! Some of our students were seen dancing an Irish jig or telling a joke for a treat!!!

Coach Cannon has had his students learning softball/baseball basics in preparation for wiffle ball season! Students have spent several days throwing and catching. Next, they practiced fielding grounders and fly balls. Today, students were learning some batting skills and getting practice making contact with the ball. His goal is that by the time the students play the actual game, they will already feel a level of confidence and success! GR8 job, Coach!

Last week, Ms. Latimer's Ag Science 1 students dissected and labeled parts of a female cow and pig reproductive tract! Don't zoom in if you have a weak stomach. ;) However, our tough Tigers really enjoyed it and were able to take what they learned off diagrams and put it into a real world experience! WOW!!!

Kynleigh Tyler, a GRHS 7th grade student, is selected as our February 2023 student of the month.
Kynleigh is kind to other students and her teachers. She actively participates in lessons, completes all of her work to the best of her ability, and is involved in school sports. She is a great role model to those around her. Kynleigh is kind to her classmates and often welcomes students (not picked for a group project) into her group. She is very patient and helpful with (a special needs student) especially. She's an ideal student who is always willing to participate in class discussion, volunteers when needed, asks questions when confused and completes her work as requested. She has never shown an ounce of disrespect and Kynleigh strives daily to be a good student and classmate.
Mrs. Dove's STEAM classes have to be GR8 listeners and follow multi-step directions to create a variety of projects. If they have 5 weeks of GR8 behavior, they get rewarded with a FREE CHOICE Day! Here are some examples of what students chose today!
Mrs. Link highlighted some of our elementary art projects during our recent Grandparent's Day event! Here is a glimpse...enjoy!
