Our Tiger Band headed to Cole Camp on Thursday night to take part in the Cole Camp Fair Parade.
Each season is filled with many firsts for our upcoming JH students; First parade, first pep band appearance, first mass band. Seasons are also filled with some bittersweet "lasts". For our three band seniors that was Thursday night at the Cole Camp Parade.
"AJ Ransdell, Miley Hayes, and Josh Birch have been exceptional leaders in the band program at Green Ridge and are helping to shape the musicians currently in the program before they graduate in the spring," said Ashley Bates.
Don't miss the Green Ridge Tiger Band this season! Their next parade appearance will be Saturday, September 14th at the Green Ridge Fall Festival. Parade steps off at 10am.
The cross country team has really enjoyed being able to cross-train on the new equipment in the weight room!

From Mrs. Miller's Family & Career Leadership Class: "We were discussing how our character develops and how our values and morals develop and where we learn those."
Fast finishers in Mrs. Shoop's class had an opportunity for some independent reading practice this week! She has some really cool reading spaces in her classroom!
From Mrs. Piscopo:
"Free reading time in Mrs. Piscopo's class."
From Mrs. Anderson:
"Soon you will see students around the school and at events snapping pictures for the yearbook. With this task comes great responsibility! I try to be as hands off as possible with the camera to be sure the yearbook really embodies the students' work. They are responsible for everything from making sure the batteries are charged, all the way to making sure their pictures are uploaded to the correct location. We can't wait to continue to improve this year!"
From Mrs. Maxon: "Art 1 students are currently working on a value project. They are figuring out how to make a grid and then draw out a picture of a mylar balloon, focusing on the light and dark areas of the picture."
Mrs. Johnson's 3rd graders enjoyed a read aloud with Mrs. Fitzwilliam today.
The touchdown symbol helps Mrs. Thompson's math students remember when they are looking for absolute value!
Mrs. Thompson has her students check answers with a table mate. These two Tigers obviously had the same answers!
From Mrs. Hilt: "Third graders are publishing their first story of this school year using Google Docs."
From Mr. Underwood's Coding class: "We were working on learning the problem solving process. Students designed and made an aluminum foil boat. They then tested to see how many keys their boats held. After that, students reflected on their designs and attempted to improve upon them."
From Miss Treuner: "2nd grade sure does love learning about plant parts and what those plants need to grow!"
From Mrs. Flandermeyer:
"The 8th grade English classes are currently working on a unit about rites of passage. We began by reading a short story titled "Red Roses" in which a young girl experiences an event that marks an important stage in her life. The students then partnered up to brainstorm milestones that many people experience throughout their lives and then created a timeline of the milestones. The students then did a quick write describing a rite of passage that has held the most significance for themselves or someone they know well."
From Mrs. Lamar: "This week we learned about germs--how to keep them from spreading and getting us sick. Today, we made a craft of ourselves using a tissue to cover our cough and/or sneezes. They turned out absolutely adorable!"😍
From Mrs. White: "LA II students read a line from a song or play today and then had to choose who sang or wrote the line. There were 3 choices to choose from, and they had to move to the correct corner of the room with the sign for their particular choice. We talked about how song lyrics contain multiple literary elements, including rhyme. We also discussed second guessing ourselves and how to use context clues to help identify unknown information. It was fun to watch students really discuss and provide reasons for their choices. They also learned that just because the majority chose an option, that option was not always correct!"
From Mrs. Dove:
"Mrs. Piscopo’s Kindergarteners are learning about book care. After reading about it, we went into the STEAM Lab and using old book pages that were going to be thrown away, we wrote on the page with a pencil and marker, cut, bent and tore the page and finally added water to it with an eye dropper. After that, Mrs. Dove asked them to put the page back together. 😳 They realized that they couldn’t do it. Now, they know why you should take good care of our library books and especially keep our water bottles away from them. What a fun experiment!!"
From Mrs. Hilt:
"Third grade is using counters to make arrays. We use arrays to solve multiplication problems."
