4th grade has been working hard learning about the heart figuratively and literally. At the beginning of the week they started reading "The Circulatory Story", diving deep into all of the heart's systems. Today they learned about the components of blood using corn syrup, red candies, white beans and rice.

Students took guesses at what would float in the water, the rock or the Apple. They learned that apples float because they are made up of a lot of air, while the rock is solid all the way through.
Tomorrow is Two Quarter Tuesday at Pine Crest!

The GRHS Band is selling Spirit Wear to raise money for their Disney trip next year. These items are not specific to the band and are perfect for anyone who loves our Buffaloes! Another bonus is that almost all items come in youth sizes so even the younger fans can show their school spirit. The shop closes September 22nd.

Mrs. Esteppe’s second grade class completed an art lesson about primary and secondary colors. This tied in nicely with paintings and art work they have been examining in their reading series. Students chose 2 primary colors, and mixed them to make a secondary color. Those colors were used to paint pumpkins that they drew. After the lesson students were curious about the outcome of mixing secondary colors, and the lesson was expanded to learn about tertiary colors!
