Let's talk money! Today, the second graders in Miss Bormann's class worked on counting money. Each student had to visit the 'bank' to exchange specific coins to reach the correct amount needed for a group under 42 cents and a group over 73 cents. For instance, if they required 10 pennies, they had to exchange them for a dime at the bank. What a fun, real-world activity to learn about money and value!

Exciting News! Mrs. Huber/Mrs. Sand's third-grade class is diving into a world of math exploration with Math Stations! From measurement to fractions, mass to volume, we're gearing up for an adventure in learning. Here's what we're up to:
Stations included comparing fractions, while another group worked on fraction facts on their computers. Another group used scales to compare the mass of items and worked on estimating and solving the mass of an item. A final group worked on Volume & Mass sheets, testing their knowledge and having them explore the world of math more! We love getting to see so many different ways to learn. Way to go, 3HS!

After music & guidance, Mrs. Clement's First-grade class took a brain break and did some yoga! Yoga is a great way to improve your attention span, reduce stress, strengthen your memory, and is a great brain-booster. Have you done any yoga today?
Mrs. Vogl's first graders are working on a 5-page narrative book! Each student is creating their own story, complete with a unique book cover. Today, students worked on making their covers and story pages, ensuring they add supporting details that will allow readers to visualize the story. Such a fun activity! We cannot wait to see their finished books!
Don't forget about the Student Council Chocolate Rose sale this week! Chocolate Rose Sales will happen in the mornings, before school. What a SWEET way to send a friend a special treat on Valentine's Day while supporting the GBR Student Council!
Happy National School Counselor's Week to GBR's Mrs. Kapfer! Thank you for all you do for the students and staff. We are so lucky to have you!

Mrs. Dodd's Begindergarten class had a very fun morning! BK started the morning off by reading a book about a Dog.

Bk is learning all about the letter D, what a fun way to start their Day. Thanks for stopping by Duke!

The Beach Day festivities continue! Each class has the opportunity to play volleyball during the day but the fun part is lunch. We went full Beach Mode with a picnic of Hot Dogs and sitting on blankets & towels. Dreaming of warmer weather!
Mrs. Cassutt had a game day of UNO with her first-grade growing block students today. Uno is a great game to practice matching numbers and colors, as well as counting (those pesky draw 4 cards!). It is also a great way to get students to work on building their social skills by taking turns. We love getting to play games, especially when we get so sneak in some education!
Happy Beach Day from GBR!! We have been loving the nice weather this week and what better way to celebrate than some volleyball in the commons? PLC split up and played a game against each other. What a fun Brain Break!
Mrs. Gulledge had a small group of First graders with her this morning. They worked on a daily Chit Chat and answered questions, filled in the blanks, and took turns going up to the board! The students worked on some math and ELA activities. What a fun & interactive way to learn!
Mr. Grotjohn's fifth graders are learning all about volume and estimation in math today! They discussed what measurement they would use when estimating the measurement used for a car's gas tank (liters vs. milliliters). They then examined their water bottles to see what is typically used to tell the volume their water bottle can hold! We love getting to see real-world connections as we learn new things. Great job Mr. Grotjohn!!
