The 8th graders caught on to the teachers’ underground spirit week and decided to come up with their own theme today. Can you guess what it is?
From Mrs. Hilt: "Third grade built and tested houses to see if they could resist high winds."
Mrs. Sleeper's students were practicing some word work today!
Socks and sandals...what a "coincidence!"
Mr. Rollins checked in on Algebra 2 students during independent work time after his lesson.
Independent reading practice is one of Mrs. White's bell ringer assignments. You could hear a pin drop! These students were focused!
Mrs. Zimmerschied's American Heritage students are already preparing for the National History Day competition! They've chosen their topics and researched books from the library. Today, they were learning about the various online resources provided by The Library of Congress. They spent some time navigating that site.
From Mrs. Nevels: "Thank you Doyle Electric for donating Tshirts to the cheerleading squad! If you’d like one yourself, make sure to attend future Green Ridge basketball games for your chance to catch one in the crowd!" 💜💛💜💛💜💛
Mrs. Sleeper's kindergarten students were very excited about practicing their letters and sounds today!
Mrs. Flandermeyer's 9th graders are reading the classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
Interesting choice of "cups" today!
It's that time again! Time to recognize our Students of the Month!
HS student Gray Le: Gray has been such a help to so many students, taking time to work with them one on one whether it be due to a language barrier or math. I've been in several rooms where I have personally seen her working with kids, and she is so patient and kind. Gray has a natural easy way about her with kids and you can tell she genuinely enjoys helping them.
JH student Matvii Nochka: He is always prepared. He is attentive, helpful to his peers and strives to do his best. He is quiet and does what is expected of him without being told twice. He excels in his academics with straight A's, is polite and respectful, and follows the rules and expectations. He is always friendly and helpful to his peers and is well-liked by others.
Intermediate student Jackson Klein: Jackson has quickly adapted to Green Ridge and has become a great example of what it means to be a GR8 student. He is always eager to participate in class, embrace and learn from his mistakes, and handles all of his responsibilities well. His willingness to learn combined with his positive attitude make him a joy to have in class. I know this is just the beginning of his success here at Green Ridge!!
Primary Student Jeanette Sidorov: Jeanette is a great student who always does her best. She works hard and goes the extra mile to do what she believes is right. If there is more than one way to solve a problem, she uses the strategy that makes the most sense to her and usually gets the answer correct. It may take her longer to complete her work, but the teacher knows that it will be quality work that she should be proud of. She is a good friend to all and tries to include everyone when she is playing a game, working in groups, or just playing at recess.
We have some awesome GRE students that have been caught being GR-8! Thanks for showing your tiger stripes!
Tonight's District Soccer Match has been cancelled, and rescheduled for tomorrow night. The match will be held at Smith-Cotton high school and will begin at 5:00 p.m. Good luck Tigers!
Mrs. Lamar's students sure loved their pumpkins from Rupe Farms! Thank you so much!!!
From Mrs. Piscopo:
"Mrs. Piscopo's class has been working on the engineering design process in science class. They had to determine the problem, create solutions, pick appropriate materials, and design a structure to solve the problem. The next steps will be to test their designs and make any corrections needed to help solve the original problem."
From Mrs. Piscopo:
"Thank you to Rupe Family Farms for the pumpkins!"
The Running Tigers had a phenomenal end to our main season today at the District meet in Fulton. Trenton Sawyer finished 8th overall (18:42) and Rylee Donaldson finished 20th (24:16) earning both a spot at the State meet in Columbia this Friday. Evee Porter finished in 31st, one spot shy of qualifying BUT setting a new PR (personal record) at 20:10. Callie Knoernschild also set a PR for the season (25:56) finishing just out of medal territory in 34th place. Jackson Xiloj (21:18) and Lily Viebrock (35:54) also fought until the end - both setting season PRs as well. Gage Devorss (21:18), Izaiah Lemanski (23:38), Jackson, Trenton and Evee finished 6th in the District as a team which is exciting for our small program. As a coach, I couldn’t ask for anything more than my runners giving their ALL in their last race…and they did! I am so proud of all their effort and growth this season and look forward to even more next year.
- Coach Donaldson -
