Mrs. Davis and her 4th graders have been learning about joints in science. They got to see how the joints work in chicken feet! Then, they built a robotic hand to be as similar to their own hand as possible!
Mrs. Hammers and Mr. Edington held an after school meeting to check in and continue to offer support to our new Green Ridge teachers! Mrs. Zimmershied provided information from the Mentor Program, and Mrs. Hubbard was on hand to offer additional assistance and insight. At GR8, "we rise by lifting others!"
Mrs. Anderson's Computer Science students have been learning different forms of communication using no written or spoken language. They were given random supplies around the classroom to build a device to answer questions. Then, they were given challenges to overcome. GR8 job!
