Mrs. Miller's 6th Hour Human Development students have been working on creating worksheets to explain the 5 Steps of Decision Making to the JH FACS students. Way to be GR8 leaders!
GR8 HS band members have been coming in during beginning band to teach the beginning 5th grade band the first steps for instrument care.
From Mrs. Bates:
"Since I have been here, implementing the HS band students with my beginners has been a goal of mine. Both parties are greatly impacted and the program as a whole has shown more success and retention by including everyone in this process."
Mrs. Bates had the Green Ridge Show Choir (Harmony) take a page from Mr. H.'s playbook--using the peer-to-peer affirmation page to spread a little love!
Ms. Dailey's 1st graders have been busy writing personal narratives in class this week!
Mrs. Miller's Child Development students have been working on drawings for murals that depict some of their holiday traditions!
Lady Tiger Volleyball – Kaysinger Catch-up!
How about them Tiger Volleyball Girls! The Varsity Volleyball team has been busy since our last update and last night they stormed the Sacred Heart gym with a 4-set win: 25-21, 18-25, 25-22, 25-16. Senior Nevaeh Washington led the team both defensively and offensively covering the baseline on defense and running down 22 digs. She also made her presence known at the net with 13 kills. Emery Cannon added 8 kills and 13 digs of her own. Zakiyah Morse and Abby Warner each finished with 13 digs and 12 digs as well. It was a great defensive night for the Lady Tigers. Junior setter Sydney Gordon set up the offense with 17 assists and Mallory Reed distributed the ball for 6 assists of her own. A great WIN!
Lady Tigers are now 9-7-1 overall and 2-1 in the Kaysinger conference. They will be enjoying the UCM Jennies match tonight and then return to the court Monday 9/25 taking on the Lincoln Cardinals at home.
Second graders were extremely engaged in Ms. Treuner's writing lesson and Mrs. Shoop's science lesson! GR8 job!!!
Mr. Doane and Mr. Taylor's 6th graders have been practicing silent sustained reading. Students are building reading stamina. Establishing these routines and procedures will make future small group work with the teacher even more successful!
Mrs. Hilt's 3rd graders are becoming experts at using dictionaries! Nice work, tigers!
We love to display student work at GR Elementary!
Mrs. Johnson's 3rd graders were caught multitasking today: Social Studies Flip Books and Snacks!
So many foundational skills are learned in kindergarten! Cutting, glueing, coloring, making patterns, writing, recognizing letters, and following directions were just a few of the skills Mrs. Piscopo's Kinders were polishing while working on their American flag projects!
This was amazing! Kindergarten students were quietly working independently while they took turns visiting Mrs. Lamar's table for 1:1 testing. Our little tiger cubs are already learning successful routines and procedures! It's impressive!
Mr. Taylor's students had a competition to be a part of this Constitution Display! Zoom in! These are GR8!!!
Caught a glimpse of Mrs. Davis working with a small group while Mrs. Thompson's students were working independently and listening to her read aloud. GR8 things are happening in 4th grade!
Check out the neon addition to our GR8 entryway!!! Was able to catch Mrs. Larimore in the window. 😃 She is generally the first friendly face you see when you stop by the office!
Hey Tiger Nation, tomorrow is Picture Day!!! Please remember to look you best for pictures tomorrow! Hats will not be allowed to be worn for pictures.

Mrs. Hilt's 3rd graders didn't mind practicing spelling words at all! Shaving cream is an excellent motivator!
