1st grade is learning about biographies and interviewed Ms Kirk’s class to produce their own biography.










Second grade is rocking the hands on science today! They are studying the sun, and decided to see how sunny and shady conditions affect temperature! Wow! These scientists are making amazing connections and explaining their learning in complete sentences!






Loved seeing how these kinder students found so many ways to make 9! #RaiseTheRidge


First graders sure know how to use their math tools to help them solve problems! These tools help students to visualize numbers! #RaiseTheRidge




Loved watching this student led small group strengthen their mathematical flexibility and critical thinking skills in the ancient game called "Make 100". Even our simplest addition skills can be used for big challenges!




Third GT is making big plans and playing great brain games! Each has invented a new species based on taxonomy and binomial nomenclature! How will they unveil their creatures to the world? Stay tuned!



NED's Resiliency Ride, is a character education program that centers around three important messages that have lifelong relevance: Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best. During the assembly, students will learn about the importance of these three life skills while also enjoying storytelling, magic, humor and yo-yo tricks.

Big ideas, creativity, and collaboration! These 4th grade GT students are beginning the planning for their fall showcase. STAY TUNED! Big things are coming!





First grade writers all know that the best writing comes from something you KNOW. They also know how to use their room to help. Word walls and color words make these rooms the perfect place for young writers to show what they know!










Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Daughety as our BRE October Teacher of the Month! We are so blessed to have her as a part of our BRE family and 4th grade team.


She's so excited, and she just can't hide it! As I walked down the hall today, this second grade math wonder stopped me to show me her comparison turkey! She articulated her number comparison so well, "My turkey shows that 100 is more than 10!"

5th grade scientists are solving problems through engineering and testing their builds. The conversations and discussion can get heated - but in a good way! These kids are challenging each other!





When 1st graders retell key details from a story in complete sentences and use talking stems to ask for help- everyone learns!




Blue Ridge Fire Department came and shared fire safety with our Pre-K students. They enjoyed learning how to crawl low, stop drop and roll, use the jaws of life, spray their teacher with water and so much more. Thank you so much to the Blue Ridge Fire Department!










Fifth graders are learning how to add and subtract fractions with equivalence, number line, and pictorial strategies.





What a wonderful day to honor our veterans! BRE Beta was there to serve and did so beautifully! Our second grade singers and social Smore Holiday singers were amazing!










Learning is fun in 4th grade! Students worked on word study with a fun game of memory match. Students proved their understanding of prefixes and suffixes by working together to match words with their meaning and then checking their matches with their peers. #RaiseTheRidge
