Mrs. Barrett sent a few of her scientists to share their findings with Mrs. Terry. They were so excited to talk about their findings regarding dolphin communication.
Fifth grade math students were having great discussions about area today.
Mrs. Terry was in the room for the start of math class, but this 5th grader was so excited about what they were just learning in reading class that he had to show her his work.
Learning in kindergarten is intentional and made even better with great instructors working with our students.

Congratulations to last week's Dojo Students of the Week!
Mark your calendars to shop for a dress! If you have a dress you want to donate, we will take those, as well!
This year, we adopted a new science curriculum (Amplify) in 4th grade. We love the investigation work that it pushes our students to do as they work as scientists. This week, they are investigating communication through sound. Students had to listen with eyes closed to find another student within the classroom and used ropes to feel sound vibrations.

Math...sometimes they make it harder...Today, when Mrs. Terry was in 5th grade, she noticed students second guessing their answers and making a simple, real-life problem more complicated. When you all are doing math at home, make it real and encourage your children to think mentally about the quickest & easiest way to get to an answer that is reasonable. When she encouraged them to step back and think about their task at hand, they knew it was simple, and they knew they were equipped to solve!
🚨 ATTENTION 🚨
If you signed up your child for Little Dribblers, practice has been moved to Thursday night 1/9/25 from 5:30-6:30 at the high school gym.
The Family Resource Centers in the county and the Preschool/Head Start office are working together to offer Toddler Time to ANY child in Marshall County ages 1-4. They will be doing these monthly at the preschool head start office. Each month, the child will receive a free book and will participate in an activity centered around the book. Snacks will be provided, and parents will have a chance to network and learn more about the various resources in the county! Each month, a community partner will also share information about the resources they provide. The goal is to promote early learning and increase Kindergarten Readiness.
It was a great first day back in 2025! Thank you for sending your children ready to learn. Thank you to our staff for jumping in and setting those high expectations to make this semester successful. There was a lot of great learning happening today.
The Gingerbread Man brought gingerbread cookies to spread the holiday cheer.
This morning, we recognized the our Green Devil Greats. These students were chosen by their teachers for exhibiting Green Devil Greatness during the second nine weeks, and we are so honored to celebrate each one of them. Their pictures will go on our Green Devil Greatness wall later this week.
They thought we were surprising our 3rd & 4th graders with a special song from the 5th grade class, but we really had something special in store for Bill & Sara Minihan to show our appreciation for the way they have loved our Green Devil family through their theater. The Minihans are closing their chapter with the Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers on December 31st, but their impact will never be forgotten. We are thankful that they have allowed our 4th graders to perform on their stage for the last six years and for the many trips to their theatre over the years. But, we are most thankful for the way they love and serve our school, our staff and our students every single day.
