Mrs. Hilt & Mrs. Donaldson were selected as GR8's Terrific Tiger Teachers for September. They were nominated by their peers. GR8 is grateful for their efforts! Well deserved! They received a pair of Tiger Socks and a DQ ice cream cake with their photo on it.
GR8 elementary teachers are working hard in LETRS training this year. Sonya Manz is guiding our teachers in learning more about the science of reading. This professional development going to have a big impact on how we teach reading.
Do you wonder what the teachers are doing on Mondays? This Monday our JH/HS teachers took part in learning about characteristics of dyslexia and how to better help our students. Thank you Crystal Eldrid for your expertise and passion for this topic!
From Mrs. Thompson:
"Over the last couple weeks, we have been talking about the states of matter in science. This week we created a states of matter “pyramid” that will be displayed for other students to see. Today, we will do an experiment!" :)
From Mrs. Thompson:
"Yesterday, fourth grade went on a field trip to Cole Camp Historic Days. We got to learn about how things worked back in the day! 😉 We got to be taste testers, good listeners, and great learners!"
First grade has been studying how things were in the past compared to how they are now. Mrs. Warner's dad and mom, Denny and Pam Smethers, brought their 1958 Chevy for the kids to see how vehicles have changed! So awesome!!!
More STEAM students earned GR8 behavior rewards this week!
GR8 Behavior in the STEAM Lab equals GR8 Reward!
From Mrs. Dove: "After five weeks of good behavior in Library/STEAM Lab, the students get a “free day” in STEAM Lab. This means they get to work with whatever building supplies they wish and build whatever they want to build!"
Tiger cubs are readers! Tiger cubs are spellers! Tiger cubs are GR8 workers!!!
After reading Jack and the Beanstalk, Mrs. Lamar's class used the STEM design loop (a process of producing a design to a set of given requirements) for building a beanstalk out of index cards and tape. They had to imagine how they would create the beanstalk, then draw out their plan. They discussed with their group and decided which design would work best and created their beanstalks. They measured them to find out who made the tallest one. WOW!!!
HS and JH Soccer travel to Cole Camp tonight. JH will play first, with a start time of 5:00 pm. JH and HS Volleyball travel to Northwest as well. JH will start at 5:00 pm. Good Luck Tigers! Go tigernation
