A message from Mrs. Boettcher, about her Art classes on Thursday.
"Without me saying much, each one of my classes entered the room, realized it was bright enough from the windows to read the agenda and make art.
While I was holding the flashlight in the hall to light the way, the students were setting up and getting their work and materials. Some of it was research and reading, not just making art. So impressed.
No tv with the slides. No chromebooks.
It was amazingly self-run. I was really proud of them."
Even though we had no power we still learned math.
In honor of the March Madness Basketball Tournament, the GDRMS 8th grade Science teachers are running a March Madness Science Topics Bracket, to determine which is the Best Science Topic So Far This Year!
Every Friday, students vote on which topics are “best”. They can vote based on which topics are their favorites, which topics they've learned the most about, or even which topics are the most relevant in their own lives! We've had a lot of great review conversations along the way, reminiscing about earlier units. For extra credit, some students are designing posters, slogans, or team uniforms for each of their predicted Final Four topics.
Early frontrunners include "Hour of Code", "Proteins", and "Chemical Reactions", but there's still several rounds of matchups yet to come!
Happy Friday, Today is an early release for our Middle School Students.
Enjoy your weekend.

Is this your student's water bottle? Water bottles, hoodies, t-shirts and more are available to pick up in the Middle School North Lobby through 3/17/23.
6th graders in Ms. Hoag's Advisory were having a really hard time stacking golf balls in a minute to win it challenge until they decided to change the surface and voila, they got it done.
It's a pet wall in Mr. Gannon's class. Not only does his classroom show that he teaches math and science but he connects with students by knowing who their furry friends are at home.
Families and staff,
Due to the impending snowstorm which will significantly impact our ability to bring students safely to school, GDRSD will be closed on Tuesday, February 28th.
Best regards,
Laura Chesson, Superintendent
Check out the cards for kids. Our students created Get Well Cards and Stay Strong Cards for kids in the hospital during kindness week.
Good afternoon families, The 7th grade is going to be making vision boards in Advisory after vacation. They are asking for old magazine donations.

Kindness doors in grade 5
The Downstairs 6th grade team is 100 days smarter.
The teacher had the students make a chain of 100 ways they are smarter. If you have a student on the downstairs team with Ms. Hoag, Mr. Putnam, Mrs. Miller or Ms. Morris ask them about it.
Please help us celebrate kindness week February 13-17
Pick a Word. 7th grade students were asked in Advisory to pick a word that will be their word for Q3. The students then came up with designs to decorate their class doors with a theme. So fun
